Mechanics Changes

Attacks & Relations

  • Auto Cease-Fire
  • The mechanic that allows a smaller Kingdom to automatically enter into a 7 day cease-fire with a larger Kingdom that has a large meter disparity will be removed
  • Kingdom vs Kingdom Gains Reduction
  • The Kingdom vs Kingdom gains reduction throttle formula will be adjusted slightly to reduce the throttle effectiveness for in-range Kingdoms
  • Learn Attack
  • While out of war, a Learn attack will be available, it will steal a portion of the target's unallocated books (base ~30%) and a portion of allocated books (base ~5%)
  • A portion of the stolen allocated books will be destroyed
  • A portion of the stolen allocated books will become unallocated for the source to re-allocate
  • Unallocated books and stolen allocated books that become unallocated will be placed into the same Category (see definition below) as they were in from the target
  • All other stolen books will remain in the same science Type (see definition below)
  • IN WAR Learn will reduce the effectiveness of target science, base reduction is currently planned ~4%, reduced science effectiveness will be removed upon entering End of War Cease-Fire
  • War
  • The amount of unique provinces required to attack from each Kingdom will be increased from 2 to 3 in order to declare war
  • MAP reduction from War will be reduced by ~25%, this means that gains on a province with max MAP will be lower than they currently are
  • End of War Cease-Fire
  • Population growth will be increase from +500% to +1000%
  • There will be a minimum peasant growth per tick of 500

Science

  • Definition 'Category': A group of science types
  • Definition 'Type': A specific kind of science that provides a bonus, i.e. Population Science
  • Science effects will NOT be based on land size
  • Science Types will be split into 3 major Categories (Economy, Warfare, Arcane Arts)
  • Scientists will generate naturally, similar to the way they generate now, except much slower (Laboratories will increase scientist generation rate)
  • Scientists will create books per tick
  • Scientists get assigned to a Category (random or chosen)
  • Scientists can progress in experience level which will increase book per tick generation
  • Scientist experience will be based on how many books they have produced, not the amount of time they have been in a category
  • Scientists can be re-assigned to a different category, but lose their experience (book / tick production will revert back to the starting level) similar to current system (there will be no Recruit period where they don't generate any books, they will generate books upon the first tick in whichever category they are in)
  • Schools will increase book per tick generation, but will only increase production in a single Category, there will be a drop down menu to choose in which Category you want increased generation
  • Books can be allocated to any science Type within the Category they have been produced
  • Science effects will be diminishing returns starting from 0
  • SoS will show unallocated books and total science effects / books / scientists (and level)
  • Scientists will not have a networth value
  • Books will have a networth value TBD (allocated and unallocated will be the same value)

  • Allocated books will go into effect instantly, instead of learned over time, we refer to this as the hoyaah principle

  • Science types are split into three categories:

  • Economy:

  • Housing: Population bonus

  • Will reduce the effectiveness of target science, base reduction per cast is currently planned ~.5-.9% further affected by RNG and other factors, reduced science effectiveness will be removed upon entering End of War Cease-Fire

Miscellaneous
