Round 49 Changes

General

• Prestige interest: prestige grows by [Prestige] * ([Net Victories] / 40,000) per tick.
  • In order for prestige interest to work, prestige now stored as a decimal value, but only ever shown and used rounded down (floor([Prestige]). This means that you will continue to earn decimals of prestige but only integers count (599.0 and 599.9 both count as 599, and you need to get to >=600 to see an impact).
• Barbarian target DPA increase per hour changed from 0.40 to 0.45 and extra DPA per time hit changed from 0.005 to 0.006.
• Units that have a dies-into type perk but which are converted by enemy units, no longer die into anything. They are simply lost. (Immortality beats conversion, but conversion beats dies-into.)
• Barracks Spies now show spies, wizards, and archmages at home.
