Round 8

GENERAL CHANGES

kidnap scaled by land similiar to resource stealing.

Realm improvements changed

As a realm you will need to invest more points to reach the same percentage, roughly you need 10% more points. This still means it is easier to increase realm improvement percentages together as a realm than for each individual kingdom to increase its own kingdom improvements the same percentage (of course this comparison only works when comparing the same initial percentage). Before to reach HALF of maximum percentage you needed roughly 80% of the points per acre of kingdom improvements to get the same realm improvements. Now that number is roughly 90%.

The investment point share in realm improvements are no longer based on number of kingdoms in the realm, but based on the individual kingdoms land share of the total realm land (explained in detail on page 4 in this thread).

FLAMEWEAVER

PLAGUEBEARER
replaced for ORC



ORC

Pain is all an Orc knows. Orcs are brought into the world in a particularly painful childbirthing process that tortures both the mother and child. Infants are hurt deliberatly out of spite by older siblings and other relatives. Orcish children know no joy other than the delight that they learn from taking advantage of those who are weaker than themselves. When an Orc is old enough to try this with the opposite gender in a perverted manner, they are ready for the rite of passage. In it, they are forcefully held down and made to recieve mutilating piercings and ritualistic tatoos all over their body. They also recieve an unhealable scar. This scar is a constant reminder of how living is nothing but pain and suffering. As a result of their life of misery, is it any surprise that Orcs are so hateful and warlike?

Can't invest in Policing

SPELL
Bloodlust Orc, SELF, ONE-TIME
Every 10 shamans increases offense equal to 1 Torture Chamber (does not affect defense or corruption), and casualties are increased by the same %

Round 9

GENERAL CHANGES

Kingdoms that start and restart late into the round

Kingdoms that start late will no longer start with extra military, but they will start with extra gold instead. The longer into the round, the more gold. This should mean that those that verify but are not active will be easier targets for those that actually are active.

Kingdoms that sign up on the 6th day and forward of the round will have Take Daily bonus: ON

Kingdoms that are in protection after Game Time > 144 (one week) will not be able to invest in realm imps until they are out of protection.

Faith/alignment bonuses


10% will now be 6%
5% will now be 3%

Each faith gives 6% attack power versus kingdoms of the opposing faith. Each faith gives 3% attack power against faiths aligned with the opposing faith. For example: a life realm has 6% attack power versus death realms and 3% attack power versus chaos and might realms.
