Genesis Age 138 Changes

Genesis Round 138 is here!

This round uses all World of Legends Age 86 code with some additional Genesis specific changes to make Genesis a bit unique from WoL.

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

Planned Schedule for the Round
Age Start: 7/07/2020 @ 18:00 GMT
Age End: 7/15/2020 @ 00:00 GMT

Tick Length will be 15 minutes.

Important things to know about Genesis for this age:

• MODIFIED FOR AGE 138 - Arson/Tornado code which may be a potential bug fix for the way it currently works on WoL
  
• You can utilize UtopiaBot for free in your Discord server on Genesis (Monarch just needs to set it up!)
• Invites (6) will be available
• Random province creation has been increased to prevent creating at the same time and joining with Friends (that's what the free invites are for!)
• Mentor DOES work on Genesis
• Mentoring of other provinces on Genesis will be 4 hours every 12 hours (instead of 4 hours every 24 hours like it is on WoL)
• You are able to use Sitting credits on Genesis
• To prevent abuse, there is a 3 hour waiting period to creating new provinces

• Ambush will target only the land that was lost, not what the attacker received (due to acre generation)
• MAP (Multi-Attack Protection) awarded for attacks is reduced by 50% from that seen on WoL
• Stealth and Mana recovery is doubled (any race or personality mods will be doubled; for example base is 3% per tick which is now 6%, if a race mod says +2% per tick this will also be doubled meaning 4%, therefore a race which states +2% per tick will receive 3% base plus 2% = 5% => doubled to 10%)
