Bushels of food are now called halms of food. This has no impact on the game, but the measurement bushel was nonsensical. Each person eats 0.25 bushels per tick, which comes to 24 bushels per day. That’s approximately 872 litres. Halms are a fictional unit and it just so happens to be that 24 halms…
Spells Totally revamped spell system. This makes it much easier to add new spells and create different features around spells. It also leaves no room for mismatch in the previously hardcoded spell description, instead using dynamic descriptions just like Techs and Ruler Titles. I’ve done testing and patched all bugs I’ve found but expecting some…
War is removed. All ops are available at all times after the 24-hour grace period at the beginning of the round. Peacekeepers League removed. Cost of exploration changed to sqrt(([Total Land] + [Land Incoming]))*([Total Land] + [Land Incoming])/6-1000. This is a small reduction on lower acres but a big increase for long-term exploring. After an…
Energy Mirror changed from 20% to 25% chance to reflect spell. New spell: Aura: reduces damage from spells by 20%. Some under the hood changes to spell damage and spell damage reductions. Mainly, spell damage reduction now also applies to non-instant spells such as Insect Swarm and Earthquake. Rezoning costs reduced by approximately 15%. Prestige…
Ants: Pop bonus raised from +140% to +160%. Worker Ants now also produce food (+0.25 food/tick). Flying Ant changed to 3/1.5 and Forest Haven perk removed. Dwarf: Population bonus removed. Thundermaul cost changed to 100,000 ore, 150 gem, and 500 mana. Gains -50% casualties and immortal on fending off. Undead: Skeletons lose immortality and instead…
UX change: on mobile, all inputs that expect only numeric values now pop up numeric keyboard. New advancement: Fortifications: increases defensive power, starts at +2.5%, maxes out at +20% at level 10. Visions will now only return the highest level per Advancement. This change again breaks all previous Visions. Clear Sight cost reduced from 0.3x…
Visions sort advancements correctly. However, this change invalidates all previous Vision spells due to underlying technical changes. Units with attributes such as machine, equipment, and ammunition no longer consume food. Only units at home consume food. Units returning from invasion do not count towards food consumption. Barbarians: Barbarian DPA formula changed to (25 + ([Hours]…
Advancements now go to Level 10 (same increments as Levels 8 and 9). New advancement: Conscription: increases drafting by 2.5% at Level 1. Barbarians will construct buildings. They will continue to have -100% production penalty across the board, so the buildings won’t yield anything (since that would make them theft targets), nor will they build…
Surreal Perception now shows successful info ops. Energy Mirror now notifies you when you reflect a spell. Each unit is now assigned a training time (normally 9 for specs and 12 for elites). It will show up in Scribes and the unit helper pop-up next to the OP and DP figure. Each faction is now…
The 33% rule is removed. The rule required you to always leave 33% of your total DP at home. This is an experimental change and the rule might be reinstate during the round if things get too wacky. Slightly increased Barbarian growth rate and DPA targets. All units have been assigned attributes. More on those…
