Age 92 — Age of Ancestry

  • Age 91 End: Saturday June 18, 2021 @ 00:00 GMT
  • WoL Age 92 Open: Saturday June 18, 2021 @ 13:00 GMT
  • WoL Age 92 Start: Tuesday June 22, 2021 @ 18:00 GMT
  • Forum Source: Age 92 FINAL Changes

Overview

  • Age 92 replaces traditional personalities with a secondary race or "sub-race" choice
  • Provinces pick a primary Race and a secondary Race
  • All specialist values increase to 7 points
  • Offensive Specialists become 7/0
  • Defensive Specialists become 0/7
  • Elites use a 7/7 base, then are modified by both race picks
  • A 2-minute-tick Genesis test round was announced alongside the final changes

System Introduction

This age the game mixes races and personalities by making the personality choice a second race. You still make two selections during province creation, but both are racial picks.

When choosing a race and sub-race:

  • you gain the bonuses and penalties of both race choices
  • elite values are modified by both selections
  • some extra combination bonuses apply depending on whether the two picks are the same or different

Comparison to the old Personality system

Historically, races provided bonuses, penalties, and a fixed elite, while personalities generally added only a bonus. Age 92 reframes the second pick so that the "personality" slot behaves like a second racial template instead.

New System

At a high level:

  • there are 11 race choices
  • you pick two
  • you gain both picks' bonuses and penalties, with caveats explained below

Example ruler naming from the forum post:

  • Race: Avian; Ruler Name: Count DavidC the Part Elf
  • Race: Avian; Ruler Name: Count DavidC the True Blooded Avian

Combination Rules

  • Hybrid Vigor: anyone who picks two different races gains +50% Birth Rate
  • Pure of Blood: anyone who picks the same race twice gains Town Watch and receives that race's penalties only once

Mechanics

Base Military Values and Networth Changes

  • All Specialists are now base 7 points; networth values remain the same (0.8 per offense point, 1 per defense point)
  • Thieves and Wizards are now 7 NW
  • Elite Networth no longer uses a fixed value

The forum post gives the following elite networth rule:

  • If (elite offensive strength * 0.8) == elite defensive strength, then Elite NetWorth = ((elite offensive strength * 0.8) / 3) + defensive strength
  • Otherwise, use the larger of (elite offensive strength * 0.8) or defensive strength, then add one third of the smaller value

Examples from the post:

  • 13/10 elite -> 13.74 NW

  • 9/11 elite -> 13.4 NW

  • Horses are 3 points and 2.4gc (0.8 per point)

  • Prisoners are now 5 points and 1 NW (0.2 per point)
  • Mercenaries are now 5 points and cost 300gc

Military Training

  • Elite training costs fixed at 1500 gc
  • All races convert Specialists into Elites on successful Traditional Marches
  • Specialist troops cost 350 gc, increased from 300 gc

Other Changes

  • All races have access to War Spoils
  • Fireball damage increased by 10%
  • Anonymity available only to Avians
  • Dragons cost reduced by 50%
  • Amethyst Dragon science-effectiveness reduction lowered from -25% to -7.5%
  • In War, Amethyst Dragon also slightly reduces science effectiveness every 6 ticks for all provinces in the kingdom
  • Dragon science damage occurs at the same time a dragon destroys buildings
  • This science reduction behaves similarly to 2 successful casts of Amnesia, but is not itself an Amnesia cast
  • End of War Cease Fire increased from 72 hours to 96 hours
  • End of War Cease Fire gives +50% Science production
  • During War, elite conversion rate on Traditional March attacks is doubled
  • Intra-Kingdom attack speed reduced by 50%
  • Inspire Army is added to the Training Page active-spells list
  • Monarchs can enable The Wall to block random provinces from joining; enabling it increases kingdom wages by 20%
  • Kingdoms naturally fill to 22 instead of 24
  • Spy on Sciences difficulty reduced

Spy on Sciences

The post notes:

  • Spy on Throne is the easiest intel operation and is the baseline
  • Spy on Sciences is reduced to roughly 3x the difficulty of SoT
  • Previously SoS was about 5.5x more difficult than SoT
  • Spy on Military is roughly 4x more difficult than SoT

Learns

  • Learn attacks take more from allocated science books and less from unallocated science books
  • +50% allocated science books over current values
  • -50% unallocated science books over current values
