Game mechanic changes

  • The explore formula will be tweaked to relate to the size of the kingdoms provinces. The more you are over the median the more expensive it will be to explore. If you are the only province in your kingdom it will be more expensive.
  • Paradise will remove acres from the explore pool, which will now grow 5 times faster (i.e 100 acres an hour) and also decay .5% an hour. This decay will not occur during war or end of war ceasefire.
  • Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.
  • Players will be able to abandon and leave their province to the kingdom even if that kingdom has no invitations left.
  • The war room will be updated to better help players calculate their attacks. I'll provide more detail on this when I have it.
  • Espionage operations will be completely accurate if players send 10% of their thieves. This accuracy will be conveyed in some way to the player (yet to be decided but probably via the espionage message, updates will follow when they are available).
  • Espionage operations will be able to be conducted through in game ceasefires.
  • Monarch bonuses will be removed
  • Monarchs can set a fellow kingdom mate as their Steward (replaces Chamberlain). The Steward can conduct diplomacy such as extend/accept ceasefires, declare war and update the throne room messaging for the kingdom as well as the old Chamberlain options.
  • The Anonymity spell has been modified. This spell will result in minus attack gains rather than additional attack time. Apart from this the spell works as before.
  • Honor phase-in at age start has had the amount per tick doubled and the overall time halved.
