Genesis Age 197 Changes

Genesis Round 197 is here!

This round is based on World of Legends Age 96 base code with some additional Genesis specific changes to make Genesis unique from WoL, as well as for testing some new concepts or ideas that may or may not eventually transfer over to the World of Legends!

Please take a read through the mechanics changes so you're aware of some of the unique features.

This color indicates a new change for the current Round


Also be sure to look at the Race & Personality changes as they can be significantly different than World of Legends
