Genesis Age 160 Changes

Genesis Round 160 is here!

This round is based on World of Legends Age 90 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

Planned Schedule for the Round
Age Start: 03/12/2021 @ 18:00 GMT
Age End: 03/23/2021 @ 02:00 GMT

Tick Length will be 15 minutes.

Important things to know about Genesis for this age:

• We have moved to low military values. Base values are: Specialists are 5, War Horses are 1, Prisoners/Mercenaries are 2.
• You can utilize UtopiaBot for free in your Discord server on Genesis (Monarch just needs to set it up!)
• Invites (6) will be available
• Reservations are allowed and used at the end of this age
• Mentor DOES work on Genesis
• Mentoring of other provinces on Genesis will be 6 hours every 12 hours (instead of 4 hours every 24 hours like 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

Important variances from WoL to note

• Paradise will only take 50% of acres that it generates from your explore pool

• Income per job is 6 gc
• Income per prisoner is 1.5
• Intra-Kingdom attacks will deal significantly more damage (double) and remove a minimum 50 acres
• 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%)
• Max Gains cap is 25% (up from 20% on WoL)
• Massacre damage to wizards has been significantly increased
• Base science book production is 300 / tick
• Starting scientists is 15
• Scientist generation rate is 5% per tick
• Elites are not trainable for any race
• All Personalities Convert Specialists on Traditional Marches
• If a Race has the Convert Specialists on Attacks, it means that race will convert more
• Studious Ritual has been removed
• Affluent will increase wizard training by 20%
  
• Elites are generated per tick by Armouries (.2), Training Grounds (.1) and Forts (.1) per acre, which is not affected by Building Efficiency
• Elites will be trained from existing specialists. First taken from Offense Specialists, if there are not enough Offense Specialists they will be taken from Defense Specialists. Partial amounts may be trained, i.e. if 200 elites will be trained and you only have 100 Off Specs, 100 will come from Off specs and the remaining 100 will come from Defense Specialists
• Nightmare will put troops into training for 4 ticks, reduced from 8
• FCF will only take into account NW range, not war range (land or nw)
• FCF will last 3 months, not 2
• FCF will remove 5% honor from the aggressor
• FCF will remove 3% honor from the defender
• FCF can be initiated 2 ticks after hostile began and as long as there has been no hits from the Defender for 2 ticks, reduced from 3
  
• Military Efficiency will go down significantly faster than normal if you do not pay wages
• Elite values for each race no longer has a net worth value associated with it. Elite networth is based on total offense & defense calculated similary to specialist values, with a reduction for efficiency

• Acres are generated on Traditional Marches (20%)
• Acre generation is reduced in war (from 20% OOW to 5% In War)

• Thieves no longer function at 140% over max pop
• Beginner Protection is 12 ticks (in and out of war)
• Vacation Mode delay is 3 hours (in and out)
• Only 3 provinces can be in Vacation Mode
• Steal War Horses removed from all Races
• Code has been implemented which should allow War Horses to be stolen as soon as an army returns home, without the need for getting a fresh SoM with the enemy army home (this has been a bug for a while, please test this and provide feedback to DavidC)
  
• Assassinate Wizards has been renamed to Subdue Wizards
• Subdue Wizards will reduce the strength of wizards, similar to the way Amnesia works with science. Wizard Strength will be restored to 100% upon entering EoWCF

• For clarity on some of the new Freak mods:
  
  • 1 in 15 chance any attack BY a Freak will fail (even if it may have been successful)
  • 1 in 5 chance any attack BY a Freak will have a 15-35% increase in gains. These gains could push you OVER the potential max gain of 25%
  • The +/- 5% mod replaces the 3.5% random factor that other provinces have with 5% instead
  • The mod for t/m operations means that damage from any instant operation could range from 90-135%
