Here are the changes for Age 68. Thank you to everyone that gave feedback, we have made some changes based on your ideas to mechanics and races/personalities. We’ve also decided to not go with any change to science. When we looked at it in more detail we decided that a more drastic overhaul to science was required and that’s something we will address in a future age.

War win reward: Not granted if the kingdoms are out of range at war start.
War declaration: Requires 2 different people from each kingdom to have attacked (in such a way that the meter is moved) before war can be declared.
Fortified: Reduced to 48 hours max duration.
End of War ceasefire: Maximum time reduced to 72 hours each. Double wizards removed.
Aggressive stance: Attack time buffed to -15%.
Draft locked and timer message: Will be displayed on the military page around age start.
Aid page: Will inform you that sending aid counts as an aggressive action.
In-game target finder: Additional filters and sorting added for stance and war status.
War room: Will default to the kingdom you are at war with, if any.

Vermin: Removed.
Gluttony: New - Increases food required by 25%.
Guilds: Unaffected by BE for the purposes of calculating spell duration.
War: Timer will tick during war for stances and war will override any stance. You can change stances during war so as to exit war in your desired stance.
Empty kingdoms: I’ll be able to create new empty kingdoms to move people into should they wish to start a new kingdom. Minimum 3 people to create a kingdom, 7 free invites provided.
Admin stuff: a bunch of backend improvements to allow me to suspend, kick people out of accounts and deactivate people quicker. YAY.
Bugs:
Mail: Fixed sent mail being read by sender marking it as read for receiver.
Intra kingdom attacks: After a number of intra kingdom attacks further attacks are blocked until day change by Oops messages. We don’t know why, so we removed and rewrote that entire section. (Original post) |

You best put seatbelts on your eyes, because i’m going to take them for the ride of their lives.
Seriously, a lot of changes here - yes, this will probably be fairly unbalanced (and may change a lot, including some things not happening at all) so please make your suggestions here.
