Round 53 Changes

General

• Guards/Leagues 2.0: Deities
  • From the Government page, you can now devote your dominion to a deity in exchange for some perks (good and bad).
  • Because I expect changes, I’ve decided not to list deities and their perks here and instead deployed them on the sim: https://sim.odarena.com/scribes/deities
  • For every tick that you remain devoted to a deity, the perks are increased by 0.1% per tick to a maximum of +100%, when the perk values are doubled.
  • It takes 48 ticks for a devotion to take effect. The process cannot be undone or interrupted.
  • Your dominion can only be submitted to one deity at a time. However, you can renounce your deity to select a new one (which resets the ticks counter).
  • Each deity has a range multiplier (normally 0.75x, meaning 75-133%). The range multiplier is the maximum land size range the deity permits you to interact with, unless recently invaded. A dominion with a wider range cannot take actions against a dominion with a more narrow range, unless the two ranges overlap.
    • The range multiplier is not affected by duration of devotion or anything else.
  • A dominion’s deity status is seen on the realm page.
    • You can hover/click a dominion’s deity on the realm page to see the current perks (including extra from time of devotion).
    • If a friendly dominion is in the process of submitting to a deity, you can see to whom and how many ticks are left.
    • If a hostile dominion is in the process of submitting to a deity, you can only see that this is in process but not to whom or how many ticks are left.
  • Ib-Tham has been elevated to a deity and will no longer be commanding a Barbarian tribe. All Barbarians start with devotion to Ib-Tham. A small number of new Barbarian tribe have emerged.
• The effectiveness of the perks increases_casualties, increases_casualties_on_offense, and increases_casualties_on_defense have been reduced by 50%, to be in line with reduces_casualties and variants.
