Age 73 — The Age of Tricksters and Mischief

  • WoL Age 73 Start: 11 Aug 2017

Mechanics Changes

  • New Features
  • Interactive Player Sign-Up: We are developing a method through which Kingdom Monarchs will have a better opportunity to have players join their Kingdom that fit what they are looking for, and respectively new players will have a better opportunity to join Kingdoms that fit what they are looking for in terms of experience, competitiveness, and play style
  • Log-In Statistics: Once logged into your Master Account, on the World Chooser page there will be a display of your current age log-in statistics which will include the amount of times you've logged in and the total minutes you've been active in Utopia. There may also be a "Most Log-Ins" & "Most Minutes in Game" displaying the information of the highest stats acheived at that time.
  • In-Game Mail: There will be a search function added to the in-game mail area to allow you to search keywords. Messages displayed will be increased from 10 to 25 (or 50)
  • Utopia-Game.com Landing Page: The landing page will show the total users currently logged into the game

  • New Log-In Bonuses: To encourage activity there will be a new log in bonus (in addition to the 5 free acres) that will be based on activity throughout the entire day. The bonus will vary based on your activity, with 3 possible bonuses available, 50% income, 100% income, 200% income of one hours income. The bonus will provided will be based on your previous day's activity and will be generated on your first log in of the day (Utopian day). Example, if you qualify for 100% income for activity throughout January Yr 0 you will receive an instant bonus of 100% your current income for that hour the first time you log in on during February Yr 0.

  • Rituals

  • New rituals added and adjustments made to existing rituals to balance the effects
    • Onslaught: +10% OME, +15% enemy casualties on attacks, +20% honor gains
    • Barrier: +10% DME & -10% Spell/Thief damage
    • Affluent: +10% Income, +15% Draft Speed, +20% Birth Rates, +5% BE
    • Havoc: +15% OTPA & +15% OWPA & +5% Spell/Thief damage
  • Rituals Length - Rituals will have a minimum length of 48 hours (120 max remains)

  • Ritual Life - Rituals will now be destroyable. There will be a new spell used specifically for Ritual destruction. The spell will be in the upper tier of difficulty and will reduce strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x on 5 different provinces. Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.

  • Other bits and pieces

  • Mana Costs - Flat cost - 3% self spell, 3% offensive spell (2% with relations) & 2% flat rate for all Paladin self spells on others & Ritual Spell casts will also be a flat cost of 2%
  • Stealth Costs - Flat cost - 3% stealth (2% with relations), 2% intel (1% SoT)
  • Paladin Spells - Increase all Paladin only spell durations
  • Paladin Self Spells - The formula used to calculate success rate will be adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require Paladins to have WPA but the new formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their Paladins. In other words, a significant increase in the success rate of Paladin spells, although you still need WPA it won't be as significant a part of the formula as previously.
  • Fortified Stance Removed - A new stance called "Prosperous" will replace it. Prosperous stance will be almost identical to Fortified. The main difference will be: Attacks into Prosperous will have no gains penalty; Attacks while your Kingdom is Prosperous will have reduced gains of -20% (instead of -50%) and scientists will gain experience during Prosperous.
  • Gains Throttling will be significantly more effective - Once the meter variance between Kingdoms is 50 points, each point over 50 will reduce gains by 1% up to a maximum of 75% at a variance of 125 meter points. Max meter will remain at 150
  • Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
  • War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
  • Elite Longevity - Elite losses via NightStrike will be closer to losses of Specialists seen now. Elites that go into retraining from Nightmare will also increase closer to that of specialists. Propaganda has also seen an increase to elite damage closer to that of Specialists. Military Casualties will be unchanged.
  • Universities - Effects from Universities will be reduced to a maximum reduction of 50%, and the rate of effect will begin at 2.5%
  • Aid Explorable Acres - Explorable acres will now have the option to be sent to other members of your Kingdom. 75% of the acres transferred will be destroyed. Acres will not be available for transfer during protection. Acres will have a Trade Balance cost of 500 gc each.
  • Science Caps - Science will no longer have a hard maximum for all categories. The purpose of this is to allow players more freedom to make your province unique and provide further bonuses to the areas you choose. Science will scale in a linear fashion similar to Age 72 up to the previously stated maximums as normal. Once this point is reached additional scientists will yield diminishing returns.
