Hi All,
Firstly, I'd like to introduce you to our new member of the team "spiritcreeper". You'll see spiritcreeper on the forums and he's also going to help Sean and I on the development team.
Now, onto the serious business of Age 46 changes. We've made a lot of changes for Age 46. Not so much by tweaking numbers, but by moving bonuses/weaknesses around. The new bonus configuration should reflect that Races are inherently stronger in some areas than others. Personality bonuses have also moved around so that for example Science bonuses apply to Sages and building bonuses go to the Artisans.
War Hero has changed name to Tactician. Both Tacticians and Warriors provide military strength, but they do so in different ways. Tacticians have better training (lower cost & time), access to the enhanced conquest, and gain more specialist credits whereas Warriors have faster attack times, are more likely to kill and less likely to be killed.
Cheers,
Brian
