In his last Budget as chancellor in 2007, Gordon Brown said: “We will never return to the old boom and bust.”

Me and Kalle have decided to make the protection 48 hours long and give you 12 free hour-changes to use in protection. These free hour-changes must be used at least 6 hours before you leave protection. You will find a link at the main overview and some information text.

We understand that this is against the result from the poll but we make decision that we think are best for the game. The poll still had big value to us.

Other Changes
Nymph's networth will now have land type factor included in the formula.

Dead troop resource recycle will now only work on successfully made attacks and all defenses.

LSD's hero from round 8 is added. You can see him in the guide.
LSD's second hero will be added later.
Kerwil's hero will also be added.
If you have won a round and still haven't contributed your hero, please send it to me or zip.

It is the same as changing the 10 to 6, but worded differently for it be faster and easier to understand the modifications without using a calculator.
Unless you are running Energy Charge or Spires or both you can just look at your Managers->Statistics->Mages per Acre and just multiply that with 10 to figure it out.

Schedule will come later.

Those changes are now online

GENERAL CHANGES

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

From round 9, last age. This will be just like JMtP suggested then, OFF is default for all round for all kingdoms.

The triple tap will now not grant "defending" realm new hits to be made on the "attacker" after bounces. This is to prevent one kingdom to purposely bounce several times on one realm, so that realm can hit that kingdom back more than two times.

New spell added
Power Farsight INSTANT

The server stopped working just as kalle posted the updated schedule. The hosting company did believe that the migration did work as expected but after 24 hours the disks started to report losses. The current hosting is quite complicated as it's in the Cloud.

We are currently securing backups of the server if something would go even worse. We have a discussion if we are going to move to a new host or give them one more chance.

We won't start a new round before we have stable server. We understand that you want to start the new round and so do we.

It appears we totally forgot to post about the round length. It will be 792 hours, that is 33 days.

With 48 magical hour-changes this is then comparable to an old 5 week (840 hours) round.

GENERAL CHANGES
Spy on hero will show how many more ticks a unique hero is in service for this kingdom.

Each topic in the realm council can have up to 100 post. The realm council will also have up to 30 different topics.

The realm system will change slightly. There will be random realms which holds up to 30 kingdoms. These random realms is only for those that sign up for random realm or decides to defect. The random realm cannot invite other players to the realm nor declare war.

Starting land will be 350 acres

Protection will last for only 12 real hour changes, with 48 magical free hour-changes. You will be able to use the free hour-changes until you have 6 hours left in protection, as before.

A kingdom's first 60 game time hours, it will not be able to invest in realm improvements. GAME TIME able to invest=GAME TIME kingdom created+60 GAME TIME HOURS. Using the free magical hour changes will thus not have any effect on when you can start investing in realm improvements.

As a direct logical implication of this, this old change will be obsolete;
(Change from round 9 last age;
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.)

You will have to PM zip about which realm your draft-pack is in, so he can increase the size from 6 to 8 players.

Additional changes

Increased initial lumber with 20k, from 40k to 60k.

You will not be able to quest during protection.

The merging kingdom must not be over 1,000 acres (and this includes incoming acres). NOTE: The acre limit works on a floating value, which means that as long as you are below 1,000 acres at the time of the merger you are still eligible (even if you had at one time previously been over 1,000 acres).

1,000 changed to 1,500

Added units lost on attack in the statistics manager. Restart of the kingdom is needed for the statistics to work.

It appears we totally forgot to post about the round length. It will be 792 hours, that is 33 days.

With 48 magical hour-changes this is then comparable to an old 5 week (840 hours) round.

The free magical hour-changes are different to normal Game Time hour-changes, that means you will be able to take first land bonus during sign up period and then after 24 real GameTime hour-changes, which means 12 hours after Out Of Protection, you will be able to take a second daily land bonus.

GENERAL CHANGES


Frost temples and academy change.
http://www.elveron.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15174
EDIT2 see post below.

Construction and destroy building change.
Construction of buildings and destruction of buildings will be changed.
Construction will be second order polynomial function.
Details can be read here.
EDIT see post below.


Unique heroes
Unique heroes with +10% against one type for race will be decreased to +6%.

Attack Exploration; Attacks generate land.
Your military units will explore land while they march from the battlefield. The amount of explored land is around 14% of the grabbed land from your victim.


Details;
Land gain is -1/8, generating land is 1/7.

A normal 100 acres grab is now 87.5 land lost for the defender, and the attacker gains a generated land of 12.5. 87.5*1/7=12.5. So the attacker is still gaining 100 acres but the defender only lost 87.5.
So the game automatically adds magical land on successful attacks.
Gain= OLD GAIN*7/8+ GENERATED LAND
GENERATED LAND=LOST*1/7.
