EoWCF is already providing bonuses. There is no need to stack additional bonuses on some Kingdoms that are organized enough to cast the KR. If we wanted to buff EoWCF we could have just done that instead of providing bonuses to some Kingdoms instead of all.

The goal of the WAR only KR is to provide a new strategic element to warring, not add buffs to EoWCF pumping. All the scenarios I see listed in this thread regarding the reasons the KR can't be cast appear to me to be consciously made choices to not perform the KR. You have the option, as does every Kingdom, of stockpiling runes before a war (same as gc, mana, stealth, soldiers). If you have 25 provinces (the goal of every Kingdom should be to have 25 provinces otherwise that is another active conscious choice made that has strategic consequences) and you stockpile your mana and runes and also take advantage of the new Propose War feature that allows you to enter war directly without long drawn out Hostiles, you should have 2250 mana available to your Kingdom (plus 25 * 1 spell cast since 2250 would only bring you down to 10 mana and you get 1 more cast). A KR requires 500 mana to complete if you are casting it the first 2 spells while at 100 mana (this could be much less if you use it as the last casts, but for argument's sake we'll go with the higher amount). You are essentially suggesting that +25% income, +20% Birth Rate and +25% increased draft speed for the next 120 hours is not worth ~20% of your Kingdom's mana? 30% if you all fail 1x (2x and you remove the extra spell I've accounted for at 10% mana). I feel you may want to re-consider your war planning if that is the case, not to mention the fact that the ritual can't be removed this age. I would suggest you compare the pro's and con's one more time for this age while you have free 120 hour rituals because they will likely be destroyable next age!


Now, I'm sure the next post I will see is: "Our opponent has Affluent KR making it near impossible for us to beat them with no way to remove it and no way to cast our own now that we're already in war and theirs is up!"
It's a new strategic tool for you to take advantage of if you so choose. It is your choice alone whether you want to use it or not. I'll give you this piece of advice though, how many times are your faery going to cast ToG in war? How many times will you cast L&P in war? How many times will you cast Patriotism in war? Every tick of Affluent is a free ToG for every single province, and every 12 ticks in war is a free cast of L&P AND Patriotism for the entire Kingdom. From that perspective it would seem you've recovered the mana 'lost' by casting it after the first 12 hours? At most by 24 hours...and you have it on you for another 96 hours (if your war drags out?).

Anyway, good luck with your decision making :) I hope this helps!

ofc EOWCF is war and Affluent ritual should work there. that ritual is useless in war and noone will use it. Just remove it if you can`t use it in EOWCF. why stances don`t work in EOWCF? because it is war.
you can`t expect people to guess how you program the game. to waste huge amount of runes and time to build and raze a lot towers and in the end to say it not working in EOWCF
