Abolish Ritual is disabled, in its place there is Weaken Ritual. This spell removes effectiveness of a ritual with each cast. At 75% the ritual fades.

Bravery is active

This mechanic is designed to reward provinces that attack in range and stronger provinces while penalizing bottom feeding. The effects of Bravery are as follows:

Increase your Birthrate by 75% of your Bravery
Increase your Dragon Slaying strength of all troops by 75% of your Bravery
Increase your honor gains on attacks by 50% of your Bravery
Increase your scientist generation per tick by 35% of your Bravery
Example: Bravery = 20; Birthrate adjustment is 75% therefore Birthrate increase is: 20 x 75% = 15%; thus your increased birthrate is "(Current Birthrate) x (1.15)"

Bravery will increase differently based on the attack type
Bravery over 10 will decay per tick while not in war
Bravery will not decay for 10 ticks following your most recent bravery gain
Bravery gain is affected by the composition of your army and the attacks you make (Trad March/Plunder/etc)
