Aren't significant enough to be unique.
The strength of Sage in the past never lies on its extra bonus on science effect, this feature is added to Sage as it seem if it don't, it does not serve enough advantage or a purpose strong enough for anyone to pick this personality to play with.
Player depend on a Sage ability for science lost reduction upon attacked. This is the major feature they wanted. And why reduction is needed, because overall the entire server players do not have enough science points to max out all the science field.
There is a need to learn for science, hence there is a need to defend the losses. This, is what make a Sage personality unique.
The current science system enable every players to max out every science field in their prov. When everyone is full of science, hence there is no need for the abduct for science. In the past, the need for science is greater because an attacker may have 100% max out population and income, but his thievery and magic science maybe zero.
Compare zero to Sage personality 140% let's say, it is 140% versus 0%, hence that's what makes an attacker is so vulnerable and opened to ops, and what makes a Sage is able to op more successfully as a hybrid.
Sage players stand out among other personalities because when players pick this personality, it is a greater chance that he would be able to max out all field of science.
So now when everyone can simply max out all the science field, can you even see the shadow of the Sage? It is the weakest personality of all in this age.
Now every attackers are at 100% magic science, the Sage are with 140% lets say. The difference is only 40%. How can this make Sage a unique personality? Sage is the least influence personality aka the weakest personality of all ever since the new science system is applied. I don't think just by limiting the scientist birth rate is enough, the concept is worth to keep, but the mechanism to obtain it should be reviewed and entirely changed.
