Just a quick update ..

I'm performing the difficult feat of playing an orc on Genesis for the first time. What's so difficult? Well, I'm a Baron, and I'm one of the biggest in my kingdom. We're at war. And big, high-honor orcs seem to have a great big bullseye painted on them. I'm a shepherd, which reduces my honor losses by 50%, but they don't take that into account.

well done zopper...i am not going to make duke i don't think....too far to go....but i haven't been broken all age, so if i can maintain till saturday i will be happy......

[Zopperoni]

That'd be cool indeed. I was suicided upon somewhere in the first half of the round and this afternoon some 4,000-acre farker decided to raze me for 270 acres...bastard...

On the new round, Mehul posted some thoughts here:

This thread will be used to post thoughts on changes for the next age. Please post your thoughts on this forum - we will set up some section-specific threads where users can post their comments along with the general forum.

So far, we are looking at co-opting the following ideas from the Genesis Server:

* Players may start with more land & resources

* The Exploration pool will be a bit larger

* Mercenaries will be cheaper

* Happiness may fall a bit more slowly and the effects may be tweaked a bit

Mehul

Here are some initial thoughts on changes (in addition to the above):

BUILDING CHANGES

Homes: Will help improve happiness - either in absolute terms or by slowing the rate of dropping and increasing the rate of rising.

Dungeons: House 100 prisoners

Mines: Produce $55 / day

Watchtowers: 2.5% chance of catching enemy thieves

Universities: Will lower science costs by 1.75%; reduce science decay by 5% (100% Max)

Schools: Increase the science maximum by 1.25%

Barracks: Lower attack time by 1.5%

Armouries: 1.5% daily chance of training a specialist into an elite.

RACE CHANGES

Orcs: +20% Elite Losses; +15% Military Maintenance

Undead: Normal military maintenance; Out of War -10% Attack Gains; Elite cost of $2750

Dwarves: +100% Birth Rate; -50% Military Maintnenance

Faeries: No combat losses penalty

As usual - nothing above is absolute as of yet. Please feel free to post comments - we will post more details as available. Final changes will be made on Saturday.

Thanks,
Mehul Patel
