Welcome to the Proposed changes for Age 94!
We are making a few changes we want to hear back general thoughts on the concepts while addressing initial thoughts on racial changes and balance.
Honor System change:
- Please read over the concept, provide thoughts, balance, desire to make no change at all.
- We are looking to see if there is a desire to revamp honor
- The suggestion is aimed at reducing the impact honor stacking has per person while still rewarding kingdoms who have people who can gain/maintain honor
- This suggestion is likely to impact late age play as well as the power of thievery and magic, so please make sure to keep this in mind when giving feedback to racial balance
Learn and Massacre Change:
- The concept is to balance the use of learns and massacres in war
- Learns in war have been reverted & have increased damage. The expected use is to weaken a province overall lowering every key aspect of their science
- Massacres have been buffed to kill additional peasants. The expected use would be when you simply need to remove Networth via destruction of economy/thievery/magic.
Planned Schedule
WoL Age 93 End: Saturday Nov 20, 2021 @ 00:00 GMT
Age 94 Proposed Changes:
Mechanics
Races
- Primary Race pick determines the Base Military Units (listed in each Race's units entry) and the primary racial bonus, Spell Lists are combined
Elite Unit values are determined by the primary pick Base Elite plus the secondary pick adjustment; secondary pick does not grant the primary racial bonus- Only gain the Penalties of the primary Race pick
- Half-blooded race pairings get no bonus
- Same Race pairing provides Town Watch
For example, picking Avian as your primary Race and Undead as your secondary choice would result in having the following combined bonuses and penalties:
Another example - picking Human as both your primary and secondary choice would result in having the following combined bonuses and penalties:
Military, Attacking & Defending
- Learn Attack: no longer captures Science Books in War, it will reduce effectiveness similar to those seen with amnesia: Base gains of 15% effectiveness
- Massacre Attack: Damage done to peasants increased 50% when in war
Thievery
- Steal horses now requires at least unfriendly
