Genesis Age 185 Mechanics

Genesis Round 185 is here!

This round is based on World of Legends Age 112 base (with some sprinkles of Age 113!) code with some additional Genesis specific changes to make Genesis unique from WoL, as well as for testing some new concepts or ideas that may or may not eventually transfer over to the World of Legends!

Please take a read through the mechanics changes so you're aware of some of the unique features.

This color indicates a new change for the current Round


Also be sure to look at the Race & Personality changes as they can be significantly different than World of Legends

Planned Schedule for the Round
Age Start: 09/24/2025 @ 20:00 GMT
Age End: 10/03/2025 @ 00:00 GMT

• MAP (Multi-Attack Protection) awarded for attacks is reduced by 50% from that seen on WoL
• Stealth and Mana recovery is doubled (any race or personality mods will be doubled; for example base is 3% per tick which is now 6%, if a race mod says +2% per tick this will also be doubled meaning 4%, therefore a race which states +2% per tick will receive 3% base plus 2% = 5% => doubled to 10%)

• Acre generation is reduced in war (from 20% OOW to 5% In War)
• War range and declare mechanics are identical to World of Legends (85% * you < you < you / .85), except that Land is not considered for range, only Networth is used to determine war range
  
• War may be declared by either side when hostility points reach at least 22 on both meters
• Meter points required for Unfriendly will be 10
• Meter points required for Hostile will be 19
• Dragons will increase hostility meter by 9 points
• Max hostile meter will be 35
  
• War minimum duration is 14 ticks (OOR wars: 8 ticks)

  • anytime on or after tick 10 if their networth falls below 66%
  • on tick 24 if their networth is below 70%
  • after tick 24 this networth amount scales linearly up to 75% by tick 48

• KD Wall does not affects wages
• Rune decay per tick has been doubled

• Overpopulation will not provide prisoners from deserting troops
  
• Bravery
• This mechanic is designed to reward provinces that attack in range and stronger provinces while penalizing bottomfeeding. 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 * 75% = 15%; thus your increased birthrate is "(Current Birthrate) * (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)
