Age 56 Final Changes

[Ahab]

Am I to understand that 1 point = 1 book?

Yep.

[crease]

elves suck.

The +1 mana oow was required cus elves can't whore for beans. Outside of land charts it means nothing more than an elf being war ready a little quicker cause he can dice to required size faster.... he still has then to pump wizzes

whats the big deal...

i don't wanna see the elf kd will crown by dicing crap, you NEED a strong war setup to win with war-win rewards now... its just not gonna happen.

im still not understanding where this 100 over 95 stuff is coming from??
as in we were at 95% of norm and get bumped up to 100%?

that seems to me like the argument someone once made to me that .9 recurring is equal to 1.
he said he had mathematical proof. i said 'i don't care. if it was 1 then it wouldn't be called .9 recurring. dick.'

to me its just +5% ... not caring about this inverse crap. i like rounding. sometimes :P

Yet you play a multiplicative game:P

Oh and .9 recurring does equal one. 1/3+1/3+1/3=1
or
x=.9 recurring
10x=9.9 recurring
10x-x=9
9x=9
x=1

If Faeries had say -25% population and then they got bumped back up to 100% population, it's not +25% population.
.75*1.25=.9375

You have to "undo" the original thing, which is why you need inverses.

[TeddybearSTHLM]

I've always been a bit curious about that one too. Even this age I've run 67% draft, 2tpa and the rest split 50/50 with elites/def specs, approximately 600 books per acre and only ever managed to top out around 162 nwpa. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in there, either way it still worked fine as an attacking race.

Noob Question - If you know who used an ANON attack, can you still ambush them? EDIT: Scratch that - Amazing what you can do if you just look in the guide.

My question is: who runs 50/50 elites:dspec? O_O
also, 67% draft seems low.

Avians are light in nw, that's just how it is. They dont have ponies so elites are all they got.

only if your grasp of infinity and limits is skewed.

[Blockhead]

Explain?

The infinite cancels out the infinite. It's not that hard to understand that infinite and limits are a tool of mathematics.

[Bishop]

He cant, you are right.

[khronosschoty]

He cant, you are right.

Who is the "he" who "cant", and the "you" who is "right"?

[Bishop]

Oh, blockhead is right and e_boko is incorrect.

[BruceLee]

imo the changes favor noobies/ghetto kds as some top kd tactics are limited, but still interesting changes both to race and mechanics, looking forward to next age =)

bravo Bishop and dev team

[squazzie]

explain 2 me why undead mages have the brain capacity to cast fertile lands. they want brains not bushels!

"10% thieves on espionage" change affects SoM?
i mean sending less than 10% thieves on SoMs will still result in exact troops out?

All intel related ops are espionage ops so when you had to send 20% + 1 to get accurate intel within 3.5% (wasn't fully accurate) you'll now only have to send 10% + 1 to get the same result if not fully accurate intel.

Examples
This age was "(total thieves * 0.2) + 1= thieves to send"
Next age will be "(total thieves * 0.1) + 1= thieves to send"

Posted the calculation formulas incase someone was confused on that part of it.
