Round 76 Changes

Gameplay

• Exploration removed.

Psionics

Cult specific.

Psionic strength is a measurement of the overall mental fortitude of a dominion. It is calculated as ([Base] * (1 + [Psionic Strength Perks] + [Psionic strength from units]) / [Population].

• Base is 1.00 for everyone except Cult, whose base is 1.50.
• There are currently no psionic strength perks.
• Psionic strength from units is calculated for each unit as ([Amount of unit] * [Psionic strength from unit's attributes]) / [Population].
• Psionic strength from attributes is as follows:
  • Mindless: -0.5
  • Intelligent: 0.5
  • Wise: 2
  • Psychic: 4
  • Others/default: 0
  • For example, an Adept has the value 2.5 from Living (0) + Sentient (0) + Intelligent (0.5) + Wise (2) = 2.50.

Psionic Conversion

Psionic conversion is conversion of units through a combination of persuasion and tricks of the mind. It only works when the Cult is successful (none on bounces or getting hit) and only on conscious, thinking enemy beings which survive the invasion and are not immortal.

It’s based on regular conversion, but whereas regular conversion cannot convert units that have the attributes Aspect or Fused, psionic conversion can convert such units but cannot convert units with the attributes Wise or Mindless.

Psionic conversion is calculated as follows:

• Base ratio: 1% on offense (when Cult is invading you), 0.50% on defense (when you invade Cult)
• Base ratio is multiplied by the OP:DP Ratio of the invasion (max 1.25).
• A multiplier is calculated as: 0 + ([Cult Psionic Strength] / [Enemy Psionic Strength]) + [Enemy casualty reduction perk from Cult units].
  • Psionic Strength is capped at 2 here.
• Conversion ratio is [Base Ratio] * [Multiplier]
• The conversion ratio is applied to all eligible surviving enemy units and, on offense, peasants.
• Units psionically converted are reduced by applicable casualty perks (you can never lose more units to psionic conversions than were killed).

The converted units are lost for the enemy and all becomes Thralls for the Cult.
