General Casualties Calculator 2.0: Major technical changes to how casualties work. This has historically been one of the buggiest parts of the game and also the hardest to troubleshoot (second only to the Tick Service). Primarily, the focus has been on simplifying the code. But some gameplay changes have been implemented as well. For each…
General The technical distinction between immortal and true_immortal has been removed. This should not have any in-game effect but I’m pointing it out in case you notice something I missed. A bigger overhaul of casualties is in the works. Factions Marshlings: Disabled, undergoing overhaul for Round 65. Advancements No changes. Buildings No changes. Deities No…
General Round game mode: Deathmatch — Barbarians are in #1 and everyone else is in realm #2. In-realm invasions are enabled. Barbarians are excluded from in-realm invasions. They will not be hitting each other. Factions Aurei: Gold Wyrm cost changed from 60,000 gold, 8,000 food to 70,000 gold, 8,000 food. Halcyon cost changed from 300…
General Barbarian Tribalism investments increased by a bit. Expedition land gains doubled. XP per land gained on invasions changed form 37.50 to 40. Buildings that provide wizard and spy housing will now house wizard and spy units in training. Factions Armada: Inability to explore replaced with +100% cost of exploration. New — Aurei: A magical…
General Lots of cleaning up of old, used data from the database. Trimmed a lot of unused code from the Tick Service, which is risky but extensive testing (for a change) has shown no problems. Spell cooldowns now use ticks instead of hours. And all previous spell cooldowns adjusted accordingly. Barbarians improvements in Tribalism increased…
General Prestige gains perks now also apply to Expeditions. Barbarians get a new improvement (Tribalism), into which they invest each tick. The amount invested is 4,000 * (1 + [Ticks] / 1000). Theft 3.0: Theft is no longer a single spy-op that you spam at a target. Instead, you go to the new Theft page,…
General Barbarian target DPA (and OPA) is now based on the Barbarian’s own number of ticks in the round, not the total round ticks. This means late-starting Barbs don’t suddenly jump to the DPA required for the time they join. Barbarians now favour building Sheds slightly more (90% of all hills, up from 70%). Factions…
General Dominion stats changed from integers (INT) to big integers (BIGINT), allowing for far greater values to be stored. Production and consumption now stop in abandoned dominions. Factions Armada Plunder removed from Battleships. Artillery Cannot send expeditions. Cannons gain instant return. Dark Elf Slave Soldiers releases into 1 prisoner. Dimensionalists Not playable in round 58….
General Protection starting resources changed to 0 except food. Construction, rezoning, and exploration are free for everyone for the first protection tick. While submitting to a deity, you are not allowed to take action against other dominions outside of your range but dominions outside of your range can take action against you, until the submission…
General Resources 2.0! — beta We are now beta testing Resources 2.0. There is a high risk of resource-related bugs this round. Resources have been decoupled from the Dominion class, same as Spells 2.0, Buildings 2.0, and Imps 2.0. This means it’ll be a walk in the park to add unique resources, which in turn…
