Revival: /* Changelog */ added a85

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a85

Your growth page lets you build up your acres with a variety of buildings. The [[Growth#Build_Table|Build Table]] below can help provide details on the benefits of the different buildings for your Province.

In Utopia, your '''Growth''' page provides information on:
*Total Land
*Total Undeveloped Land
*[[Growth#Construction Time|Construction Time]]
*Free Building Credits
*[[Growth#Construction Costs|Construction Costs]]
*Maximum Buildable Now
*Raze Cost
*Maximum Razeable Now

Additionally, the '''Growth''' page will show you a list of all possible buildings along with the following information for each building:
*The amount of each building you own
*The amount of each building in progress

To build a building, just input the amount desired of the building you wish to build in the construct space next to the building you wish to build, then click construct buildings.

The '''Growth''' page also gives you the option to:
* accelerate the construction of your building
* whether or not to use available credits
* and the option to either raze or cancel buildings.

† - this is a stacking chance per Tick, not Production

== Classes of Buildings ==


=== Capacity Buildings ===

These buildings simply create space for you, and are '''not''' impacted by efficiency issues. Homes, for example, provide additional space for peasants.

=== Flat Rate Buildings===

This type of building provides a set amount of a particular resource. These buildings need many employees to be fully effective. These buildings '''are''' impacted by building efficiency. An example is a Tower which creates a set number of runes each day.

=== Percentage-based Buildings ===
The majority of Utopian buildings are percentage-based. These buildings provide an effect based on the portion of your land covered by it. For example, having 10% of your land as Banks will increase your income by a certain percentage. Like flat-rate buildings, these also require employees to provide full effects. In addition, each additional building you construct will be less effective. The numbers listed in this section would be for the first building you construct. Your Internal Affairs Advisor will help you to understand the benefits of your land. Unless otherwise specified, these buildings have a maximum effect of 25 times the number listed below. With normal [[Growth|building efficiency]], this maximum is reached by dedicating 50% of your land to that building.

== The Buildings ==

=== Barren Land ===

Barren lands are not an actual building. These are simply available acres - gained by exploration, the Paradise spell or attacks - in your province that can be built up with real buildings as described below. Nevertheless, barren lands can still hold a few people and produce a very small amount of food every day.

* Increases your maximum population by 15 (built land has a base capacity of 25)
* Produces 2 Bushels per Day

=== Homes ===

While every built up acre of land already houses people – which means Homes are not a necessity for a province – you may find yourself wanting more population. Homes give your citizen more place to live, and also increase your natural birth rates. Furthermore, Homes employ no peasant and will thus overall help you fill all the jobs in your province.

* Increases your maximum Population by 10 (on top of the 25 that a completed Building provides, for a total of 35)
* Generates 0.3 extra Peasants per Tick (30% stacking chance to gain a Peasant per Home)
**Affected by Chastity
* Employs no one
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Farms ===

Farms are one of the most important buildings in your province, and also a vital one. Every day, each of your people will eat 0,25 bushels, and each Farm produces 60 bushels per day. Watch your food supplies very carefully, because otherwise starvation might deplete your population rather fast!

* Produces 60 Bushels Per Day

=== Mills ===

Exploration is one of the main ways of growing in Utopia, and building Mills will help you to send out expeditions at cheaper cost. Furthermore, Mills will also improve your builders skills, making building construction slightly less expensive.

* Decreases Building Costs by % * 4 (Max of 100%)
* Reduces exploration gold expenses by % * 3
* Reduces exploration soldier cost by % * 2

=== Banks ===

Banks are one of the major sources of income in Utopia along with tax collection. Every day, each Bank you own will produce some gold. Furthermore, your Banks all work together at improving your tax collection facilities, increasing further your global income.

* Generates 25gc per day
* Increases Income by % * 1.5

=== Training Grounds ===

Maintaining a good offense is important for all attackers, and Training Grounds bolster that by providing an enhanced training to all your offensive troops. This allows them to fight more efficiently in combat, thus increasing your overall attacking power.

* Increases Offensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5
* Training Time reduced by % * 1

=== Armouries ===

Armouries improve your military training process, allowing you to train your soldiers to advanced levels at a cheaper cost. Armouries also facilitate your peasant enrolment process and diminish your military maintenance costs.

* Decreases Draft Costs by % * 2
* Decreases Daily Wages by % * 2
* Decreases Military Training Costs by % * 1.5

=== Military Barracks ===

Military Barracks are another military-oriented building. The employees of the Barracks are in charge of your military logistics, and a well-equipped army will reach the enemy land faster, making yourself less vulnerable to attacks while your troops are out on a campaign.

* Lowers Attack Time by % * 1.5
* Reduced Mercenary costs by % * 2

=== Forts ===

Forts provide a superior protection to the troops held in garrison in your province, increasing your overall defensive strength against attacks. Maintaining a good defense is important if you want to keep your acres and resources safe.

* Increases Defensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5

=== Castles ===

Unlike Forts, Castles will not make you less vulnerable to attacks. Nevertheless, they will effectively protect your land, resources and honor, making the enemy’s attacks against your province less efficient.

* Decreases Resource (Land, Gold, Food, Runes) Losses when Attacked by % * 2
* Decreases Honor Losses when Attacked by % * 2

=== Hospitals ===

Having a good military power is important, and keeping your soldiers healthy is vital in order to achieve this. By deploying Hospitals in the battlefields, you will significantly lower the casualties suffered by your troops in combat. Furthermore, your medics will work at curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]] if your province ever catches it.

* Decreases Military Casualties by % * 3
* % * 3 Daily Chance of Curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]]
* % * 2 Increased Birth Rate

=== Guilds ===

Unlike all your other units, either the military footmen or the thieves, wizards are not trained by using gold. Your ascendant wizards will have to go through intensive studies in Guilds before being able to serve you properly. They are an absolute necessity for Mages.

* Trains 0.02 Wizards per Tick (2% stacking chance to train a Wizard per Guild)
* Determines and Increases Spell Duration (capped at 20% Guilds)
* Increases Self Spell and Ritual success chance

Guilds also increase the duration of your Self and Offensive Spells.<br>
Guilds are unaffected by BE (Building Efficiency) for the purposes of calculating Spell Duration or Wizards trained.

=== Towers ===

Towers are massive buildings that are used in order to channel mystic energies produced by the Earth into small stones called runes. Runes are then expended by your wizards while casting magic spells.

* Produces 12 Runes Per Day

=== Thieves Dens ===

Thieves Dens are the lair of all the thieves in your province, serving as the place where they practice their obscure and dark skills. Thieves Dens will increase the success rate of thievery operations you conduct as well as lowering your thief losses. Thieves Dens are a must for all Thieves.

* Lowers Losses in Thievery Operations by % * 3.6 (capped at 90%)
* Increases Thievery Effectiveness by % * 3

=== Watch Towers ===

While your own thieves can protect your land against enemy thieves, a little extra protection is never a bad thing. People assigned into Watch Towers will screen your borders and can catch thieves attempting to conduct operations in your province.

* % * 2.0 Chance of Catching Enemy Thieves
* Reduces damage caused by Enemy Thieves by % * 2.5

=== Universities ===

Universities increase your scientist generation rate and allow your scientists to produce books more effectively.

* Increase spawn rate of new scientists by % * 1.5
* % * 1 Higher Generation of Science Books
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Libraries ===

Libraries increase Science Efficiency.

* % * 1 Higher Science Efficiency
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Stables ===

Stables are the buildings where your peasants breed your war horses, strong horses sent in combat and increasing the offensive strength of the troop mounting them. Nevertheless, horses do not participate in defense, and you obviously cannot send more horses in combat than you have actual troops!

* Produces 2 Horses Per Day
* Holds 80 Horses

=== Dungeons ===

Prisoners caught in combat are held captive in your dungeons. A dungeon can only hold a limited number of prisoners.

While imprisoned, prisoners will be assigned to province duties, providing you some extra gold. For more detailed information on how much gold they generate, please go to [[Economy]] for the income formula or go to [[Military]] for an additional definition of Prisoners.

Deserting troops will fill dungeons first, if any space is available, before being completely lost.

* Houses 30 Prisoners of War

== Retired buildings ==
* Shipyards: 1.5% chance of creating a boat, holds 5 boats per shipyard. 1 boat was needed per 100 troops sent to attack someone on another island.
* Taverns: Lowered Draft costs and Mercenary costs.
* Plazas: Employed extra Peasants.
* Strongholds: Increased OME (now Training Grounds).
* Mines: Produced a certain number of gold per acre.
* Schools: Increase production of Science Books.
* Laboratories: Increase scientist spawn rate.
* Guard Stations: Decreases Land and Resource Losses when Attacked by % * 2

==Construction==
===Construction Time===

Note that construction speed is rounded at .5 That means if the build time is 15.49, then it is rounded down to 15. If it is 15.5, it will be rounded up to 16. For a double speed build, assuming normal construction is 15.49, the speed build time will be 15.49/2 = 7.745 = rounded up to 8 hours. For 14.9 though, it will be 14.9/2 = 7.45 = rounded down to 7 hours.

[[Age 62]]
*Gains science will be removed and replaced with a base military efficiency science bonus which will scale similarly to Population science.
[[Age 63]]
*Military Science: More points now required for the same effect
[[Age 64]]
*Extreme, Rushed, Intensive and Accelerated cost reduced
[[Age 69]]
* The new science system is introduced.
**Books of science and learning have been removed. You can no longer invest in science to create books, nor allocate them to different sciences. As a consequence, books no longer contribute to net worth, and book are no longer given as part of end of war bonuses.
**Instead of books, each province starts out with about 18 scientists, each of whom are are assigned to a random category of science, but which you can reassign at will. Every province has a chance of having a new scientists emerge on each game day, such that an average province will have about 80 - 120 by the end of the age, depending on mods. You will get a message in your province news whenever a new scientist emerges. Scientists do not take up population space.
**Each scientist makes an impact on the the science they are assigned to, such as + population or + food. The impact that each scientist makes mainly depends on their level: novice make a small impact, graduates make a larger impact and professors make double the impact of novices. The total impact of scientists is capped, depending on the science category. You would need about 120 professors to cap out every kind of science.
**Scientists skill up the longer you leave them assigned to the same science category, and drop back down to novice whenever you reassign them. It takes 72 game days (3 real days) to level up to graduate, and 168 game days (one real week) to reach professor. The number of game days required for each scientist to reach the next level is displayed on the science page.
**Scientists also make a contribution to net worth based on their skill level. Every game day of experience that your scientists have is valued at 2.6gc, meaning that 100 professors would contribute about 44K gc.
**Learns attacks are now replaced with Abduct attacks, which capture a number of random Scientists from your opponent. These scientists are captured intact with their experience, allocated science and name.
**The Amnesia spell has also been updated to make your opponent’s scientists lose a number of game days worth of experience. For some this will delay them reaching the next level, while it will effectively demote some others to the previous level.
**Fountain of Knowledge previously increased book production for a while. This spell is now gone, and is replaced by the Revelate spell. The revelate spell increases the probability of a new scientist emerging on each affected game day by 30% while it is cast.
**The Spy on Science op has been updated, and will steal a report on the total number of scientists assigned to each science type, along with their total effect (but you cannot steal specifics like how many professors there are).
**Libraries, used to create a bonus towards every science effect, including the science of tools, which in turn created a bonus on each land type except libraries, since that would mean that libraries and tools would have a circular effect on each other. **Libraries are now gone, along with the circular effect of libraries on other types of buildings. Knowledge of tools, which helps building efficiency, is governed solely by how many scientists you have allocated to it.
**A new building type, Laboratories, now helps generate more Scientists, increasing the probability that a new scientist will emerge on any given game day.
**Schools used to provide a home for books, having a dual effect of reducing the cost of producing books and protecting books from learn attacks. Schools are now gone. In their place are Universities, which provide refuge for Scientists from Abduction attacks.
**In short, laboratories help create scientists, while universities keep them safe from abduction and amnesia.
**The Sage personality previously had special advantages with books. Sages are still somewhat protected from learn attacks and enjoy sole access to the amnesia spell, but instead of their land spontaneously generating books, their scientists are 30% smarter. Instead of their books being protected from Learn attacks, their scientists have 50% reduced losses on Adbuct attacks. Also, instead of starting with more books, they start with 10% extra scientists.
**The Fortified stance previously had the effect of capping the research rate on books. This has now been changed. While in fortified, all scientific progress stops, as you have cut yourself off from the world. During fortified no new scientists will emerge, and your existing scientists will not progress in skill level.
[[Age 70]]
* Professors experience capped at 72 hours (a maxed-out professor will provide ~624gc Networth). Tools cap increased from 15% to 20%, housing and military cap from 10% to 15%, food from 100% to 200%, channeling from 100% to 125%. Additional scientist rank added: Recruit.
**Higher initial scientists
**Abduct rate boosted
**Spawn rate boosted
**Spawn rate increases each tick you do not get a scientist
**Laboratories boosted
**Revelate will double spawn rate
**Additional scientist rank Recruit- no effects, takes 6 hours to move up to Novice
**Professors will not accumulate experience past 72 hours
**Caps on some science categories modified along with impact of professors etc.
**Alchemy: 30%
**Tools: 20%
**Population: 15%
**Food: 200%
**Military: 15%
**Channeling: 125%
**Crime: 100%
**Magic sci will buff wizard production and wpa. Yes, this means it will not buff rune production.
[[Age 71]]
*Scientist Recruit rank reduced from 6 hours to 3 hours
*Scientist Spawn rate lowered slightly
*Food Science will now be Production Science, and it will increase both Food and Rune production
*Production Science maximum will be 120%, down from 200%
*Magic Science will no longer increase Wizard Production
*Approximately +50% Scientists will be required to reach maximum effects (We want there to be a strategic choice as to what science effects you have by reducing the spawn rate & increasing required scientists to reach max)
[[Age 72]]
*Scientists are generated on a flat ratio (7.5) similar to wizards instead of via RNG.
[[Age 73]]
*Science Caps - Science will no longer have a hard maximum for all categories. The purpose of this is to allow players more freedom to make your province unique and provide further bonuses to the areas you choose. Science will scale in a linear fashion similar to Age 72 up to the previously stated maximums as normal. Once this point is reached additional scientists will yield diminishing returns.
[[Age 74]]
*You can now choose which category your next scientist will spawn into (random is also an option)
*Scientist Experience will now show on your Science page and in the Spy on Sciences. This will allow for calculation of scientist networth to ultimately provide a method for determining wizard population. We feel that Wizards should have some mystery and require a bit of knowledge and pursuit to discover rather than have accurate information handed out in a single successful operation.
[[Age 75]]
*Scientist Max Networth will be adjusted
[[Age 76]]
*The number of scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories: 35.
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories at 35
[[Age 77]]
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories reduced from 35 to 30
*Scientist spawn rate will be increased by roughly 30%
*Scientist Networth will be reduced by roughly 35%
[[Age 78]]
*Science System
**Definition 'Category': A group of science types
**Definition 'Type': A specific kind of science that provides a bonus, i.e. Population Science
**Science effects will NOT be based on land size
**Science Types will be split into 3 major Categories (Economy, Warfare, Arcane Arts)
**Scientists will generate naturally, similar to the way they generate now, except much slower (Laboratories will increase scientist generation rate)
**Scientists will create books per tick
**Scientists get assigned to a Category (random or chosen)
**Scientists can progress in experience level which will increase book per tick generation
**Scientist experience will be based on how many books they have produced, not the amount of time they have been in a category
**Scientists can be re-assigned to a different category, but lose their experience (book / tick production will revert back to the starting level) similar to current system (there will be no Recruit period where they don't generate any books, they will generate books upon the first tick in whichever category they are in)
**Schools will increase book per tick generation, but will only increase production in a single Category, there will be a drop down menu to choose in which Category you want increased generation
**Books can be allocated to any science Type within the Category they have been produced
**Science effects will be diminishing returns starting from 0
**SoS will show unallocated books and total science effects / books / scientists (and level)
**Scientists will not have a networth value
**Books will have a networth value TBD (allocated and unallocated will be the same value)
**Allocated books will go into effect instantly, instead of learned over time, we refer to this as the hoyaah principle
*Science types are split into three categories:
**Economy:  
***Housing: Population bonus
***Tools: Building Efficiency bonus 
***Production: Rune & Food production bonus 
***Alchemy: Income bonus
***Bookkeeping: Wage reduction  
***Artisan: Construction time reduction
**Warfare:
***Siege: Attack gains bonus
***Tactics: Offensive Military Efficiency
***Valor: Military train time reduction & Dragon slaying bonus
***Heroism: Draft speed increase & draft cost reduction
***Strategy: Defensive Military Efficiency
**Arcane Arts:
***Crime: Thievery Effectiveness bonus (TPA)
***Sorcery: Wizard Effectiveness bonus (WPA)
***Shielding: Reduction of Enemy Thievery and Magic instant operation damage
***Invocation: Ritual cost reduction
***Cunning: Increase Damage of your Thievery and Magic instant operations
[[Age 79]]
*Scientists will generate faster
*Science effects will be adjusted
*Book generation rate will be reduced
*Artisan will include a reduced construction cost
*Inactive provinces will not produce books
[[Age 80]]
*Science effects will be adjusted (more detailed information will be provided in graphs)
*Book generation rate will be reduced
*Military Train Time science affects the train time reduction in an odd way and will be adjusted to be more intuitive
[[Age 84]]
*Artisan Science will now also reduce Raze cost
[[Age 85]]
*Recruit Scientists will produce 100 books per tick
*Novice Scientists will produce 120 books per tick
*Graduate Scientists will produce 140 books per tick
*Professor Scientists will produce 160 books per tick

[[Age 115]]
*Resilience Multiplier decreased to 0.04401 from 0.0489
*Artisan Multiplier decreased to 0.04302 from 0.0478
*Finesse Multiplier decreased to 0.08685 from 0.0965

Relations

2026-07-12T06:39:20Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a85

[[Military#Understanding_Attacks|Attacking]] another kingdom affects the relations between the two kingdoms.

By continually attacking, your kingdom's conflict level against the opposing kingdom will the hostile meter, thereby changing the relation type; first from '''Normal''' to '''Unfriendly''', and then '''Hostile'''.

There are five relation types, each of which have various benefits and penalties.
* Note: The hostile relations decay after 96h without war <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>

= Relation Types =
Each kingdom will have differing relations amongst one another in the world of Utopia. How these relations evolve (or fall apart) will be dependent on the history, conflict level, and diplomatic abilities of the Monarchs and their Stewards. You can see your relation with any given kingdom by viewing their respective [[Kingdom]] page. It is indicated as such:
<div class="formula-box">
Their Attitude Towards Us : XX<br>
Our Attitude Towards Them : YY<br>
</div>

== Normal ==
*No effects, except:
*When out of war <sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>, targeting a kingdom that is less than 85% your Land and Net Worth, the following penalties apply:
**Battle Gains: -10%
**Military Casualties: +10%
**Honor Gains: -25%
**Attack Time: +20% <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

This is the default relation between all kingdoms from the start of the [[Age]]. '''Normal''' relations will resume after a '''War''' or '''Ceasefire''' ends.

== Unfriendly <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Unfriendly'' is the first elevated stage of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, granting access to additional hostile actions.

When the [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]] reaches '''15 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance changes to '''Unfriendly''' toward the target kingdom. This unlocks stronger offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]].

=== Effects ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:70%; text-align:center;"
|+ '''Effects When Your Kingdom is Unfriendly Towards Another'''
|-
! Gains !! Military Casualties !! WPA/TPA !! Attack Time !! OME
|-

|-

|-
| +1.5% || –2.5% || +2.5% || –1% || +1%
|}

== Hostile <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Hostile'' is the second level of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, marking a major escalation in aggression.

When the [[Hostile Meter]] reaches '''30 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance becomes '''Hostile''' toward the target kingdom. Dropping below this threshold returns relations to '''Unfriendly'''. Hostile status unlocks powerful offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]], including [[Mystics#Meteor_Showers|Meteor Showers]], and reduces mana and stealth costs for hostile actions to **2%**.

=== Effects ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:70%; text-align:center;"

| +3% || –4% || +5% || –2% || +2%
|}

=== Summary ===
Hostile relations represent a significant step toward open conflict, offering access to devastating hostile operations and spells. This stage is often a precursor to full-scale War.

== Ceasefire ==
==== Agreed Ceasefire ====
Also known as a '''Non Aggression Pact''' (as seen on the opposing kingdom page and when targeting with spells/ops).
* Prohibits any [[Attacking & Defending|Attacks]], Spells, or Ops between opposing kingdoms
* Annuls [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]]
* Minimum duration of 1 [[Utopia Time| Utopian Month]]
* Can be enforced for a max of 3 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Years]]

Both Monarchs and Stewards can send, accept, and break Ceasefires. Once accepted, the Ceasefire agreement cannot be broken for the next 24 hours, though the Monarch or Steward can choose to extend this date no further than 3 weeks.<br> While a Ceasefire is in effect, no hostile actions will be allowed between the two Kingdoms.

==== Forced Ceasefire ====
Defensive Force Ceasefire reintroduced with the following changes:
* DFCF becomes available when all of the following are met:
** The kingdom is 45 points (in-range) or 30 points (out-of-range) below the aggressor on the hostility meter
** The aggressor has not been given Hostile status
** No attacks have been made against the aggressor for 3 ticks
** The kingdom is lower in both Land and Networth than the aggressor
** '''Cannot FCF until 3 ticks of Hostile have occurred''' <sup> NEW* </sup>
* DFCF will incur a penalty if within War Range of the aggressor (15% NW or Land)
** Penalty will be a loss of 1.75% Honor and 1.75% Science.
** There is no penalty incurred for DCFC if out of War Range of the aggressor
** Penalty will have a warning popup, as to not be done accidentally
* DFCFd duration will be for 48 hours before it can be cancelled by either kingdom
<br><br>
Hostile meter will now decay after 48 hours of going hostile, decay rate will ramp with meter points





[[Relations#End-of-War_Ceasefire|End-of-War Ceasefire]] has slightly different effects and conditions.

== War ==
War begins when a kingdom ''declares War'' on a Hostile kingdom '''OR''' if the maximum hostility level is reached by both Kingdoms.

In order to declare War, a Kingdom must:
* have received Attacks from at least three unique provinces on either side (except if Monarch/Stewards grant Hostile Operations)
* be in Range (more than 85% and less than 117.64% of its Net Worth or Land when declaring up, but must be in range for BOTH LAND and NET WORTH when declaring down.)<sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>
* be ''at least'' '''Unfriendly''' with the opposing Kingdom, '''AND''' that Kingdom must be '''Hostile''' with your Kingdom

''In instances where both kingdoms are '''Hostile''', the Kingdom with fewer meter points will receive the [[Relations#Starting_a_War|"button"]] and be able to declare while. When 60 points are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare''

''If 180 points are reached by both Kingdoms, War automatically starts.''

Wars last a minimum of 2 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Months]] (48 hours) after declaration.

A Kingdom can only War one other Kingdom at a time.

Honor and Land gains are higher in War than out of War.

=== Immediate Effects ===
* War overrides relations with all other kingdoms. Upon leaving War, '''Normal''' relations will resume. While in War, there is a decay of two hostility points per [[Time_in_Utopia|Utopian Month]] or 1/5th of the Meter, whichever is greater.
* Provinces created in War will be in [[Protection]] for 72 days and start with zero soldiers and zero credits.
{{H3|Benefits}}

* Mana & Stealth costs for offensive spells/ops reduced to 2%

* Unlocks [[Thievery#Propaganda|Propaganda]] and [[Thievery#Sabotage_Wizards|Sabotage Wizards]] Operations
* Unlocks [[Mystics#Amnesia|Amnesia]] and [[Mystics#Expose_Thives|Expose Thieves]] Spells

*600% Exploration Costs

=== After 12 Hours ===
{{H3|Benefits}}
*-15% Attack Time

=== After 24 Hours ===
{{H3|Benefits}}
*-80% Gains, Military Casualties and Effectiveness for Spells and Operations to and from other Kingdoms (this fades in from War start)

=== Fake War ===
Any informal or formal agreements made between kingdoms in regards to warring must abide by the Code of Conduct. Violations may cause the war to be deemed a Fake War. Fake Wars are subject to actions by the game operators. As the determination for a Fake War is made on a case-by-case basis by the game operators, the exact punishment may vary.

Ways a War can be faked (Please note, this is just an idea and not a comprehensive list):
*Requesting specific people be targeted by opposing Kingdom or accepting to action a request from the opposing Monarch
*Non-aggression pact during War of any duration and at any time
*Attempts to manipulate War-Win rankings using friends to initiate multiple Wars
*Agreement to trading Acres for a War Win
*"Ending" a war before minimum war duration

Punishments may include (Again, not a comprehensive list):
*Removal from the End of Age rankings for both kingdoms
*Deletion and temporary ban of players making the agreement
*Removal of war wins
*Monarchs of both Kingdoms deleted
*Removal of any gains of the Fake War from all Kingdom members (even if they were unaware of the Fake War)

=== Province Creation ===
Provinces created/reset during War will start without Soldiers, Military & Building Credits.

= Starting a War =
Once the '''Hostile''' relation status has been reached by one kingdom, the Monarch of the least hostile Kingdom will receive the option to Declare War as long as their own relations with that Kingdom are at a minimum of '''Unfriendly'''. This "War Button" appears on the Relations Page under the War tab. If both kingdoms have reached '''Hostile''' relations status, the kingdom with fewer points (while under 60 points) will have a "Declare War" button. When both kingdoms reach 60 points, the button will be available to both. Once the button is pressed certain effects are immediately applied; others slowly take effect, rising to their maximum potential over a 24 hour period.

= Ending a War =
Only the Kingdom's Monarch (or Steward) is able to end a war. This is accomplished in one of two ways: Mutual Peace or Withdrawal. Either choice results in an end-of-war ceasefire.

=== Mutual Peace ===
This option requires consent by both parties and simply settles the war with no winner. This is an excellent option when both kingdoms simply lose interest in the war or find it more beneficial to simply move on.

''Both kingdoms receive:''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional land to each province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production
* 1 additional War Score point

=== Withdrawal ===
Once the Minimum Time limit is reached (48 Ticks), either Kingdom can Withdraw from War. Withdrawals can occur if the Withdrawing Kingdom has not committed any Attacks within the past 2 Ticks.

War will also automatically end (a Kingdom will automatically Withdraw) if their Net Worth drops below 66% of the opponent's Net Worth on the first Tick this condition is satisfied. This will only occur after a minimum of 48 Ticks.

''The Withdrawing Kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production

''The Withdrawing Kingdom incurs the following '''penalties''':''

* 5% of the Kingdom's Land will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom
* 5% of the Kingdom's Honor will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom

=== Victory ===
A Kingdom is victorious when its opponent withdraws from War. This is also called Surrendering. A Kingdom can only Withdraw if it makes no Attacks for 2 consecutive Ticks. It can then Withdraw on the 3rd Tick. Dragons, Aid, Thievery Operations and Magic Spells do not affect a Kingdom's ability to Withdraw.


''After War, the winning kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of Median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 36 ticks of Production
* +50% advancement towards the next Scientist
* Land bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, subtracted from each Province then transferred and distributed evenly
* Land bonus equal to 10% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, distributed prioritizing smallest Provinces in the Winning Kingdom
* Honor bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Honor at the end of the War (subtracted from each province then transferred and distributed evenly), plus 200 Honor per Province
* Recognition on Kingdom Page based on the number of Wars achieved
* 2 additional War Score points
* War rewards are scaled by Kingdom's province count at the beginning of war.

'''Note:'''<br>
* Each additional War Win achieved will increase War Win bonuses (that are not transferred) by 5%, capped at 50% larger than baseline bonus.<br>
* War Win bonus will incur a 5% stacking penalty for each Province below 25, calculated at War start - max 25% reduction.
* At the conclusion of the age, Kingdoms will be awarded bonus War Score points for every Kingdom that they defeated in War, based on the defeated Kingdoms' total War Wins (if any). An additional provision of points will be granted for every Kingdom warred but not defeated, based on the total War Wins of those Kingdoms (if any), a Mutual peace counts as a loss in this instance.
* War Score will incur a 4% stacking penalty for each missing Province below maximum, calculated for each individual War, this penalty carries over to EoA adjustment, full points only awarded full Kingdoms.
* Defeating a kingdom 10% bigger in Net Worth at declaration awards the victor with an additional 30% Honor and 10% Science Books

=== End-of-War Ceasefire ===
After a War ends, neither Kingdom may have any Relations for an [[Utopia Time|Utopian Month]] and are automatically placed in a 24 hour End-of-War Ceasefire. During the ceasefire both Kingdoms remain in War relations, thus retaining the protection benefits while rebuilding. After 24 hours, the Kingdoms have the choice either to end the Ceasefire or to wait up to an additional 72 hours (96 hours total). This choice is independent of the other Kingdom.

''During this ceasefire, both sides benefit from:''

* Building Efficiency automatically restored to 100% if below 100%
* All Land currently out with armies at War end returns home immediately
* All Military Units currently out on Attacks against the War opponent return home immediately
* Negative Spell effects and Riots are removed
* Any Provinces affected by Plague it removed instantly
* Instant Population growth of 20% of maximum if you are under 50% of your maximum Population
* +1000% Birth Rate (minimum 500) for the first 24 Ticks
* Explore penalty reduced to 300% and explore time reduced by 50% for Provinces below Kingdom Median (including incoming explored Acres)
* Access to Paradise spell
* Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering EoWCF

'''Note:'''
* All Credits (Specialist or Building) will be lost upon exit of End of War Ceasefire
* Learn and Amnesia will return books over 48hrs, even if war ends.

= Out-Of-Range War Benefits =
There are no benefits for a War that was conducted outside of War Range (85%-117.64%). Neither winner or loser will gain Training or Building Credits and their Land and Troops will not instantly return (they will return at normal time).

= War Forum =
Shortly after declaring War, a temporary Forum is created. This is known as the War Forum.

In the War Forum Provinces from either Kingdom can interact by starting new threads or posting in existing ones.

Provinces are expected to interact respectfully and obey the Code of Conduct. Any offending material can be removed by either Kingdom's Monarch or Steward.

=Changelog=
[[Age 42]]
*War
**Removing NW based attack times in war (as in genesis)
**On war declaration, attack time reduction will jump to -10% immediately, then phase to -20% (previously 0% then -15%)
**War phasing will be reduced to 12 hours (from 24 hours, this does not apply to protection which is still 24h)
*War Recovery
**In CF, +200% increase in birth rates (from +50%)
**Extending post war CF to 48 hours, monarch can opt out of the CF at any point after 24 hours have passed (each monarch can decide on his own - both kingdoms don't have to stay)
[[Age 51]]
*The End Of War Ceasefire period is extended to 72 hours but can now be exited after 12 hours with no daily honor loss in war
[[Age 52]]
*End of War Ceasefire period can be extended up to 4 days
[[Age 54]]
*The war declaration range for kingdoms will be changed to 25% smaller or 33% larger
*War will end automatically if your opponents networth drops to 50% of yours. This will only occur after a minimum of 7 days of warring and is calculated on tick.
*A war ending will grant, for both kds:
**All land currently out with armies at war end returns home immediately.
**Instant population growth of 20% of your max pop if you are under 50% of your max pop
**+500% Birthrate
**30% reduction in training costs of all troops.
**Draft cost reduced 50%
*Winning a war will grant the following:
**+10% honor taken from the opponents honor pool
**100 books of science per acre based on your median province
**3 times your median provinces acres in spec credits
**Free building credits to the total of your current unbuilt acres
[[Age 55]]
*Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.
*The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
*Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
*Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
[[Age 56]]
*Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.
[[Age 57]]
*In War the minimum gains will be reduced by 50%
[[Age 64]]
*War wins
**Acre reward capped at 20k
**Selecting land as a bonus will also result in a smaller honor bonus and vice versa.
[[Age 67]]
*50 books per acre of science (based on median province size) granted to both kingdoms
*An additional 150 BPA added to the winner
*Wizard training doubled in end of war ceasefire
[[Age 68]]
*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.
*End of War ceasefire: Maximum time reduced to 72 hours. Double wizards removed.
*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.
[[Age 71]]
*The War Win bonus choice of 'Land' or 'Honor' will be removed. All War Wins will yield a single bonus, which will be an increased amount of both Land and Honor. Similar to the minimum land bonus, a minimum honor bonus will also be added.
*Immediately upon entering End of War Cease-Fire any provinces affected by plague will have it removed instantly.
*Additionally, upon entering End of War Cease-Fire, the losing kingdom will receive 50% of their land as free building credits, while the winning kingdom will receive 150% of their land as free building credits. We would like to stimulate the ability for both kingdoms to recover from war such that both the losing kingdom has a better chance at coming out of war recovered and ready to fight again and more importantly, the winning kingdom has an opportunity to defend their land better upon exiting war.
[[Age 72]]
*WW Chart Chains - In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdoms, we have altered the formula to provide additional WW points (scaling from the current if the kingdom you war is outside of the top 50 for land, honor, NW, and warwins) to double the current points.
*WW Bonus - Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdompage based on the number of WW points they achieve. Each additional 'tier' that they obtain will also increase their WW bonus -- land, honor, credits, etc -- by 10%. This is capped at a WW bonus that is 50% larger than the baseline bonus.
*Finally the WW bonus will scale with kingdom size under 20 provinces to reduce the potential for abuse with kingdoms that remain intentionally small in the number of provinces.
*The War Win bonus will also include a provision of additional land to every province's individual explore pool in both kingdoms, this is mainly aimed at helping provinces that are destroyed in war to have a chance to grow back to a functional size.
*WAR - Exploration during eowcf will have reduced cost penalties (from 500% to 250% of normal cost).
*Propose War - Kingdoms will have the diplomatic option to Propose War to enemies in range and start war instantly instead of via attacks
[[Age73]]
*Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
*War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
[[Age 74]]
*Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.
*War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
*EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
*Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
[[Age 75]]
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
*War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
*War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
*Force Cease-Fire - There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
**The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
**The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
**The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
**If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
**The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
**There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
[[Age 76]]
*During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
[[Age 77]]
*The 10% reduced attack time granted instantly on War Declare will be removed
*Attack speed reduction from war will slide in up to -25% over 12 ticks
[[Age 78]]
*Auto Cease-Fire - The mechanic that allows a smaller Kingdom to automatically enter into a 7 day cease-fire with a larger Kingdom that has a large meter disparity will be removed
*War
**The amount of unique provinces required to attack from each Kingdom will be increased from 2 to 3 in order to declare war
**MAP reduction from War will be reduced by ~25%, this means that gains on a province with max MAP will be lower than they currently are
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Population growth will be increase from +500% to +1000%
**There will be a minimum peasant growth per tick of 500
[[Age 79]]
*There will remain a requirement of at least 3 provinces within a Kingdom to perform operations on the opposing Kingdom for War to be declared
*An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
*To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
*A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
**a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;
**b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
**c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender
**d) Aggressor has been Hostile with defender for at least 3 ticks.
*If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
*War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
*If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Birth Rate will be increased by current effects only for the first 36 hours
**Troop/Thief cost reduction will be removed
**All credits (Specialist/Build) will be lost upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire
**A small amount of science will be awarded to the winner
[[Age 81]]
*War
**War Range is now, low end 85% up to ~117.64% (1 / .85)
**Auto Surrender will be possible after 5 days of war instead of 7 when opponent is 50% or less networth
**Learn attack effects while in war will be increased from 4% to 8%
**Out of range wars will yield war points based on relative size at the war start and scale accordingly, for example:
**Example: 84.9% range = 100% points
***80% range = 85% points
***75% range = 65% points
***65% range = 20% points
***< 65% range = 0 points
*Force Cease-Fire
**If you are in war range (85-117.64%) when activating a Forced Cease-Fire your Kingdom will lose up to 3% honor at 95%+ and scale linearly to 1.5% at the bottom of the range (85%)
**This honor will be lost by the Kingdom pressing Force CF, it will not be transferred to the opponent Kingdom
[[Age 82]]
*War
**War declare range is now: (X * .85) to (X / .85)
**War win acre minimum bonus will be reduced to 2500 acres (from 4000)
*Force Cease-Fire
**Only kingdoms under 85% size can force CF with an aggressor (same requirements for time and attacks remain)
**Aggressor kingdoms can force CF after 24 hours of no attacks in kingdom news
[[Age 83]]
*War
**War win acre maximum bonus will be introduced and set to 10000 acres
*Force Cease-Fire
**This mechanic will no longer cancel dragons that have been started
[[Age 84]]
*War
**War may be declared by EITHER Kingdom if both Kingdoms have at least 75 Hostile Meter points
**Hostile Meter Cap is increased from 150 to 225
**End of War build credits awarded will be based on Median province size
**Build credits awarded to the losing Kingdom will be increased from 50% to 100%
**War Win science books awarded will be reduced from 72 hours of books to 48 hours
**While under Median, you are able to explore up to 500 acres (total land area) in a single explore. For example, if you are 50 acres with 0 acres currently being explored then you may explore up to 450 acres all at once which will take you to a total of 500 acres after the explore is complete.
*Force Cease-Fire
**While at war, a Kingdom will now be capable of activating Force CF (Defender only)
**Force CF duration will increase from 3 days to 5 days
[[Age 85]]
*Gains going into or out of war are being reduced from -75% to -85%
*While in War income will be reduced by 10%

[[Age 115]]
*DFCF Updated

Dragons

2026-07-12T06:38:41Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a85

[[File:Age114 Dragons Title.png|center|link=]]
[[File:Age 115 Dragons Cards.jpeg|center|link=]]

'''Dragons''' are creatures that help to disrupt the target Kingdom.

[[Politics|Monarch]] and [[Politics|Stewards]] can choose which Dragon type and the target Kingdom.

When Dragon project is chosen and started, provinces can donate money and food for funding.

When the Dragon is sent to an opposing kingdom, it will wreak havoc on their lands. The Dragon will continue to do so for two full months (48 ticks) or until slain by the enemy kingdom's forces.

==<span style="color: #FFC300">Dragon's Behavior==


* Troops will slay a dragon at their respective strength. Every soldier sent will destroy strength in the amount of its offense. If a soldier is 3/0, it will cause 3 damage per soldier towards the slaying of the dragon. If your elite is 14/4, it will cause 14 damage per troop towards the slaying of the dragon (before slay modifiers). <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

* Troops sent to slay dragon are unaffected by any spells that increase unit damage, percent or flat rate increase such as [[Mystics#Bloodlust|Bloodlust]] or [[Mystics#Aggression|Aggression]]

* All provinces can boost their dragon slaying strength by investing in '''Valor''' science.

* Thieves, Wizards and Prisoners '''cannot''' be used to slay a dragon.

* Some races or personalities may receive a bonus to dragon slaying strength of all troops (including soldiers).

* Dragons will fly away on their own on the dawning of the 3rd (third) Utopian month; having lasted for a total of 48 utopian days.

* Dragons send range is from 20% smaller to 25% larger in relation to kingdoms net worth. Dragon send range will be removed when targeting a Kingdom you are at war with.

* Monarchs and Stewards have the option to start a dragon project. Once a dragon project is started a Fund Dragon menu link will appear in the navigation area for all qualified provinces to help funding the dragon project. When fully funded, only the '''Monarch''' or '''Steward(s)''' will have the ability to send the dragon.

* Provinces in protection may not fund or slay a dragon.

* Once a kingdom receives a Dragon, a menu link will appear in the affected players navigation area allowing them access to the Slay Dragon section.

* A dragon will automatically be cancelled upon the commencement of a '''EOWCF'''. Dragons are automatically cancelled when a regular ceasefire or forced ceasefire happens.

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a84

'''Kingdom Rituals''' (KR) are a new mechanic introduced in [[Age_72|Age 72]] that serves as a kingdom-wide bonus. The [[Politics|Monarch]] or [[Politics|Steward]] can begin a ritual.

==Kingdom Ritual Page==

The Kingdom Ritual page will also display various information such as:
*current active KR type and strength
*current mana level and the rune cost to cast on the ritual
*the activation efficiency of the ritual currently being cast

For enemies: an active Kingdom Ritual will be displayed via Spy on Throne, where you will see which KR is active and current strength

==Completing A Ritual==

To complete the ritual, the Kingdom must successfully cast the ritual spell a minimum of 3 times the number of Provinces in the Kingdom (minimum 15 provinces for this calculation) within 48 hours of the ritual being started. <br>

A Ritual can be overcasted, for increased effects.<br>

<div class="formula-box">
Ritual Effectiveness = 1 + (2*SQRT( X - MAX(45,KD_provs*3) )) /100
</div>

where X = number of ritual casts, when X ≥ 3 times the number of Provinces in the Kingdom

A ritual's strength diminishes by .25% per tick.

The ritual spell has a difficulty similar to the most difficult self-spell, a very expensive rune cost (Cost Multiplier 6) and costs 2% Mana per cast.<br>
A successful ritual will last for a minimum of 48 (if destroyed by Abolish Ritual) and a maximum of 120 hours. While only one ritual can be active, another one can be started before the active ritual ends, very similar to Dragons. Once the ritual is completed, the previous ritual will be replaced.

==Destroying A Ritual==

Rituals are destroyable via the [[Mystics#Abolish_Ritual|Abolish Ritual]] spell. This spell reduces the strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. Abolish Ritual can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times — in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0%, you would need to cast the spell 10 times on 5 different provinces.

Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.

===Changelog===

**The Monarch or Steward will select one of 3 rituals the kingdom will begin (similar to the starting of a dragon)
**To complete the ritual the Kingdom must cast a new 'ritual spell' 100 times within 48 hours of the ritual being started
**The ritual spell will have a very expensive rune casting cost; and have a difficulty similar to the most difficult self spell
**A successful KR will last for 120 hours
**Only one KR can be active, another KR can be started before the active KR ends, very similar to Dragons. Once the KR is completed, the previous KR will be replaced
**All users will have a KR page; only on this page you will have the KR spell available to help initiate the KR
**The KR page will also display various information such as: current KR status (type and strength), whether a new ritual is being cast, how many more successful casts are necessary
**For enemies: an active KR will be displayed via Spy on Throne, where you will see which KR is active and current strength
**There are three kinds of KRs:
***Barrier - Increases defensive TPA and WPA by 25%; reduces gains via attacks against the kingdom by 10% (similar to Guard Stations); +10% DME
***Affluent (WAR ONLY, not EOWCF) - Increases income by 25%, Birth Rate by 20%, and draft speed by 25%
***Onslaught - Increases OME by 10% and enemy casualties on your offensive attacks by 15%
**Note: The Affluent KR can be initiated and completed at any time regardless of your stance (relations) however, if it is active and you are NOT in war you will receive no effects from it.
[[Age 73]]

A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x on 5 different provinces. Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.

*Once the Ritual is started it can be 'completed' at any time after 40 successful casts by the Monarch pressing a new button to Activate the Ritual immediately based on the number of successful casts at that time
*The Monarch or Steward can see the effectiveness of the ritual as it is being cast
*Ritual will automatically cast on the expiration of 48 hours and effects will be based on the number of successful casts at that time
*Ritual strength(effectiveness) will scale based on the amount of casts: 40-80 casts is a linear growth from 40% to 100% effectiveness (accurate); over 80 casts will have diminishing returns.
*Abolish Ritual will remain in its current state (50 casts overall required to destroy enemy ritual)

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a84

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

== The Spell Book: Self Spells ==

Listed here is a short reference guide to each of the spells available that can be cast on yourself. Any restrictions on use will be listed under the name. The max cast shown does not include any racial bonuses. Almost all the spells that provide bonuses for certain activities (like speeding up building construction etc.) need to be cast before the activity is initiated / ordered to reap the benefits of the spell.

A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require Paladins to have WPA but the new formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their Paladins. In other words, a significant increase in the success rate of Paladin spells, although you still need WPA it won't be as significant a part of the formula as previously.
*There will be a new spell used specifically for Ritual destruction. The spell will be in the upper tier of difficulty and will reduce strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x on 5 different provinces. Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.

[[Age 74]]
*Inspire Army/Paladin's Inspiration - Both of these spells are capable of being cast on a Province, however, while PI is cast it's effects will prevail until it wears off. Therefore, the bonuses from each of these spells will not stack, only 1 will be applied if both are present.

[[Age 75]]

† - this is a stacking chance per Tick, not Production

== Classes of Buildings ==


=== Capacity Buildings ===

These buildings simply create space for you, and are '''not''' impacted by efficiency issues. Homes, for example, provide additional space for peasants.

=== Flat Rate Buildings===

This type of building provides a set amount of a particular resource. These buildings need many employees to be fully effective. These buildings '''are''' impacted by building efficiency. An example is a Tower which creates a set number of runes each day.

=== Percentage-based Buildings ===
The majority of Utopian buildings are percentage-based. These buildings provide an effect based on the portion of your land covered by it. For example, having 10% of your land as Banks will increase your income by a certain percentage. Like flat-rate buildings, these also require employees to provide full effects. In addition, each additional building you construct will be less effective. The numbers listed in this section would be for the first building you construct. Your Internal Affairs Advisor will help you to understand the benefits of your land. Unless otherwise specified, these buildings have a maximum effect of 25 times the number listed below. With normal [[Growth|building efficiency]], this maximum is reached by dedicating 50% of your land to that building.

== The Buildings ==

=== Barren Land ===

Barren lands are not an actual building. These are simply available acres - gained by exploration, the Paradise spell or attacks - in your province that can be built up with real buildings as described below. Nevertheless, barren lands can still hold a few people and produce a very small amount of food every day.

* Increases your maximum population by 15 (built land has a base capacity of 25)
* Produces 2 Bushels per Day

=== Homes ===

While every built up acre of land already houses people – which means Homes are not a necessity for a province – you may find yourself wanting more population. Homes give your citizen more place to live, and also increase your natural birth rates. Furthermore, Homes employ no peasant and will thus overall help you fill all the jobs in your province.

* Increases your maximum Population by 10 (on top of the 25 that a completed Building provides, for a total of 35)
* Generates 0.3 extra Peasants per Tick (30% stacking chance to gain a Peasant per Home)
**Affected by Chastity
* Employs no one
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Farms ===

Farms are one of the most important buildings in your province, and also a vital one. Every day, each of your people will eat 0,25 bushels, and each Farm produces 60 bushels per day. Watch your food supplies very carefully, because otherwise starvation might deplete your population rather fast!

* Produces 60 Bushels Per Day

=== Mills ===

Exploration is one of the main ways of growing in Utopia, and building Mills will help you to send out expeditions at cheaper cost. Furthermore, Mills will also improve your builders skills, making building construction slightly less expensive.

* Decreases Building Costs by % * 4 (Max of 100%)
* Reduces exploration gold expenses by % * 3
* Reduces exploration soldier cost by % * 2

=== Banks ===

Banks are one of the major sources of income in Utopia along with tax collection. Every day, each Bank you own will produce some gold. Furthermore, your Banks all work together at improving your tax collection facilities, increasing further your global income.

* Generates 25gc per day
* Increases Income by % * 1.5

=== Training Grounds ===

Maintaining a good offense is important for all attackers, and Training Grounds bolster that by providing an enhanced training to all your offensive troops. This allows them to fight more efficiently in combat, thus increasing your overall attacking power.

* Increases Offensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5
* Training Time reduced by % * 1

=== Armouries ===

Armouries improve your military training process, allowing you to train your soldiers to advanced levels at a cheaper cost. Armouries also facilitate your peasant enrolment process and diminish your military maintenance costs.

* Decreases Draft Costs by % * 2
* Decreases Daily Wages by % * 2
* Decreases Military Training Costs by % * 1.5

=== Military Barracks ===

Military Barracks are another military-oriented building. The employees of the Barracks are in charge of your military logistics, and a well-equipped army will reach the enemy land faster, making yourself less vulnerable to attacks while your troops are out on a campaign.

* Lowers Attack Time by % * 1.5
* Reduced Mercenary costs by % * 2

=== Forts ===

Forts provide a superior protection to the troops held in garrison in your province, increasing your overall defensive strength against attacks. Maintaining a good defense is important if you want to keep your acres and resources safe.

* Increases Defensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5

=== Castles ===

Unlike Forts, Castles will not make you less vulnerable to attacks. Nevertheless, they will effectively protect your land, resources and honor, making the enemy’s attacks against your province less efficient.

* Decreases Resource (Land, Gold, Food, Runes) Losses when Attacked by % * 2
* Decreases Honor Losses when Attacked by % * 2

=== Hospitals ===

Having a good military power is important, and keeping your soldiers healthy is vital in order to achieve this. By deploying Hospitals in the battlefields, you will significantly lower the casualties suffered by your troops in combat. Furthermore, your medics will work at curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]] if your province ever catches it.

* Decreases Military Casualties by % * 3
* % * 3 Daily Chance of Curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]]
* % * 2 Increased Birth Rate

=== Guilds ===

Unlike all your other units, either the military footmen or the thieves, wizards are not trained by using gold. Your ascendant wizards will have to go through intensive studies in Guilds before being able to serve you properly. They are an absolute necessity for Mages.

* Trains 0.02 Wizards per Tick (2% stacking chance to train a Wizard per Guild)
* Determines and Increases Spell Duration (capped at 20% Guilds)
* Increases Self Spell and Ritual success chance

Guilds also increase the duration of your Self and Offensive Spells.<br>
Guilds are unaffected by BE (Building Efficiency) for the purposes of calculating Spell Duration or Wizards trained.

=== Towers ===

Towers are massive buildings that are used in order to channel mystic energies produced by the Earth into small stones called runes. Runes are then expended by your wizards while casting magic spells.

* Produces 12 Runes Per Day

=== Thieves Dens ===

Thieves Dens are the lair of all the thieves in your province, serving as the place where they practice their obscure and dark skills. Thieves Dens will increase the success rate of thievery operations you conduct as well as lowering your thief losses. Thieves Dens are a must for all Thieves.

* Lowers Losses in Thievery Operations by % * 3.6 (capped at 90%)
* Increases Thievery Effectiveness by % * 3

=== Watch Towers ===

While your own thieves can protect your land against enemy thieves, a little extra protection is never a bad thing. People assigned into Watch Towers will screen your borders and can catch thieves attempting to conduct operations in your province.

* % * 2.0 Chance of Catching Enemy Thieves
* Reduces damage caused by Enemy Thieves by % * 2.5

=== Universities ===

Universities increase your scientist generation rate and allow your scientists to produce books more effectively.

* Increase spawn rate of new scientists by % * 1.5
* % * 1 Higher Generation of Science Books
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Libraries ===

Libraries increase Science Efficiency.

* % * 1 Higher Science Efficiency
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Stables ===

Stables are the buildings where your peasants breed your war horses, strong horses sent in combat and increasing the offensive strength of the troop mounting them. Nevertheless, horses do not participate in defense, and you obviously cannot send more horses in combat than you have actual troops!

* Produces 2 Horses Per Day
* Holds 80 Horses

=== Dungeons ===

Prisoners caught in combat are held captive in your dungeons. A dungeon can only hold a limited number of prisoners.

While imprisoned, prisoners will be assigned to province duties, providing you some extra gold. For more detailed information on how much gold they generate, please go to [[Economy]] for the income formula or go to [[Military]] for an additional definition of Prisoners.

Deserting troops will fill dungeons first, if any space is available, before being completely lost.

* Houses 30 Prisoners of War

== Retired buildings ==
* Shipyards: 1.5% chance of creating a boat, holds 5 boats per shipyard. 1 boat was needed per 100 troops sent to attack someone on another island.
* Taverns: Lowered Draft costs and Mercenary costs.
* Plazas: Employed extra Peasants.
* Strongholds: Increased OME (now Training Grounds).
* Mines: Produced a certain number of gold per acre.
* Schools: Increase production of Science Books.
* Laboratories: Increase scientist spawn rate.
* Guard Stations: Decreases Land and Resource Losses when Attacked by % * 2

==Construction==
===Construction Time===

Note that construction speed is rounded at .5 That means if the build time is 15.49, then it is rounded down to 15. If it is 15.5, it will be rounded up to 16. For a double speed build, assuming normal construction is 15.49, the speed build time will be 15.49/2 = 7.745 = rounded up to 8 hours. For 14.9 though, it will be 14.9/2 = 7.45 = rounded down to 7 hours.

* If your BE is less than 100%, the effect you would have with 50% of that building is the maximum.
* If you have less than 100% BE, additional buildings past 50% will have no effect.

Relations

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a84

[[Military#Understanding_Attacks|Attacking]] another kingdom affects the relations between the two kingdoms.

By continually attacking, your kingdom's conflict level against the opposing kingdom will the hostile meter, thereby changing the relation type; first from '''Normal''' to '''Unfriendly''', and then '''Hostile'''.

There are five relation types, each of which have various benefits and penalties.
* Note: The hostile relations decay after 96h without war <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>

= Relation Types =
Each kingdom will have differing relations amongst one another in the world of Utopia. How these relations evolve (or fall apart) will be dependent on the history, conflict level, and diplomatic abilities of the Monarchs and their Stewards. You can see your relation with any given kingdom by viewing their respective [[Kingdom]] page. It is indicated as such:
<div class="formula-box">
Their Attitude Towards Us : XX<br>
Our Attitude Towards Them : YY<br>
</div>

== Normal ==
*No effects, except:
*When out of war <sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>, targeting a kingdom that is less than 85% your Land and Net Worth, the following penalties apply:
**Battle Gains: -10%
**Military Casualties: +10%
**Honor Gains: -25%
**Attack Time: +20% <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

This is the default relation between all kingdoms from the start of the [[Age]]. '''Normal''' relations will resume after a '''War''' or '''Ceasefire''' ends.

== Unfriendly <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Unfriendly'' is the first elevated stage of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, granting access to additional hostile actions.

When the [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]] reaches '''15 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance changes to '''Unfriendly''' toward the target kingdom. This unlocks stronger offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]].

=== Effects ===

|}

== Hostile <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Hostile'' is the second level of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, marking a major escalation in aggression.

When the [[Hostile Meter]] reaches '''30 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance becomes '''Hostile''' toward the target kingdom. Dropping below this threshold returns relations to '''Unfriendly'''. Hostile status unlocks powerful offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]], including [[Mystics#Meteor_Showers|Meteor Showers]], and reduces mana and stealth costs for hostile actions to **2%**.

|}

=== Summary ===
Hostile relations represent a significant step toward open conflict, offering access to devastating hostile operations and spells. This stage is often a precursor to full-scale War.

== Ceasefire ==
==== Agreed Ceasefire ====
Also known as a '''Non Aggression Pact''' (as seen on the opposing kingdom page and when targeting with spells/ops).
* Prohibits any [[Attacking & Defending|Attacks]], Spells, or Ops between opposing kingdoms
* Annuls [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]]
* Minimum duration of 1 [[Utopia Time| Utopian Month]]
* Can be enforced for a max of 3 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Years]]

Both Monarchs and Stewards can send, accept, and break Ceasefires. Once accepted, the Ceasefire agreement cannot be broken for the next 24 hours, though the Monarch or Steward can choose to extend this date no further than 3 weeks.<br> While a Ceasefire is in effect, no hostile actions will be allowed between the two Kingdoms.

==== Forced Ceasefire ====
Defensive Force Ceasefire reintroduced with the following changes:
* DFCF becomes available when all of the following are met:
** The kingdom is 45 points (in-range) or 30 points (out-of-range) below the aggressor on the hostility meter
** The aggressor has not been given Hostile status
** No attacks have been made against the aggressor for 3 ticks
** The kingdom is lower in both Land and Networth than the aggressor
** '''Cannot FCF until 3 ticks of Hostile have occurred''' <sup> NEW* </sup>
* DFCF will incur a penalty if within War Range of the aggressor (15% NW or Land)
** Penalty will be a loss of 1.75% Honor and 1.75% Science.
** There is no penalty incurred for DCFC if out of War Range of the aggressor
** Penalty will have a warning popup, as to not be done accidentally
* DFCFd duration will be for 48 hours before it can be cancelled by either kingdom
<br><br>
Hostile meter will now decay after 48 hours of going hostile, decay rate will ramp with meter points





[[Relations#End-of-War_Ceasefire|End-of-War Ceasefire]] has slightly different effects and conditions.

== War ==
War begins when a kingdom ''declares War'' on a Hostile kingdom '''OR''' if the maximum hostility level is reached by both Kingdoms.

In order to declare War, a Kingdom must:
* have received Attacks from at least three unique provinces on either side (except if Monarch/Stewards grant Hostile Operations)
* be in Range (more than 85% and less than 117.64% of its Net Worth or Land when declaring up, but must be in range for BOTH LAND and NET WORTH when declaring down.)<sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>
* be ''at least'' '''Unfriendly''' with the opposing Kingdom, '''AND''' that Kingdom must be '''Hostile''' with your Kingdom

''In instances where both kingdoms are '''Hostile''', the Kingdom with fewer meter points will receive the [[Relations#Starting_a_War|"button"]] and be able to declare while. When 60 points are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare''

''If 180 points are reached by both Kingdoms, War automatically starts.''

Wars last a minimum of 2 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Months]] (48 hours) after declaration.

A Kingdom can only War one other Kingdom at a time.

Honor and Land gains are higher in War than out of War.

=== Immediate Effects ===
* War overrides relations with all other kingdoms. Upon leaving War, '''Normal''' relations will resume. While in War, there is a decay of two hostility points per [[Time_in_Utopia|Utopian Month]] or 1/5th of the Meter, whichever is greater.
* Provinces created in War will be in [[Protection]] for 72 days and start with zero soldiers and zero credits.

{{H3|Benefits}}
*-15% Attack Time

=== After 24 Hours ===
{{H3|Benefits}}
*-80% Gains, Military Casualties and Effectiveness for Spells and Operations to and from other Kingdoms (this fades in from War start)

=== Fake War ===
Any informal or formal agreements made between kingdoms in regards to warring must abide by the Code of Conduct. Violations may cause the war to be deemed a Fake War. Fake Wars are subject to actions by the game operators. As the determination for a Fake War is made on a case-by-case basis by the game operators, the exact punishment may vary.

Ways a War can be faked (Please note, this is just an idea and not a comprehensive list):
*Requesting specific people be targeted by opposing Kingdom or accepting to action a request from the opposing Monarch
*Non-aggression pact during War of any duration and at any time
*Attempts to manipulate War-Win rankings using friends to initiate multiple Wars
*Agreement to trading Acres for a War Win
*"Ending" a war before minimum war duration

Punishments may include (Again, not a comprehensive list):
*Removal from the End of Age rankings for both kingdoms
*Deletion and temporary ban of players making the agreement
*Removal of war wins
*Monarchs of both Kingdoms deleted
*Removal of any gains of the Fake War from all Kingdom members (even if they were unaware of the Fake War)

=== Province Creation ===
Provinces created/reset during War will start without Soldiers, Military & Building Credits.

= Starting a War =
Once the '''Hostile''' relation status has been reached by one kingdom, the Monarch of the least hostile Kingdom will receive the option to Declare War as long as their own relations with that Kingdom are at a minimum of '''Unfriendly'''. This "War Button" appears on the Relations Page under the War tab. If both kingdoms have reached '''Hostile''' relations status, the kingdom with fewer points (while under 60 points) will have a "Declare War" button. When both kingdoms reach 60 points, the button will be available to both. Once the button is pressed certain effects are immediately applied; others slowly take effect, rising to their maximum potential over a 24 hour period.

= Ending a War =
Only the Kingdom's Monarch (or Steward) is able to end a war. This is accomplished in one of two ways: Mutual Peace or Withdrawal. Either choice results in an end-of-war ceasefire.

=== Mutual Peace ===
This option requires consent by both parties and simply settles the war with no winner. This is an excellent option when both kingdoms simply lose interest in the war or find it more beneficial to simply move on.

''Both kingdoms receive:''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional land to each province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production
* 1 additional War Score point

=== Withdrawal ===
Once the Minimum Time limit is reached (48 Ticks), either Kingdom can Withdraw from War. Withdrawals can occur if the Withdrawing Kingdom has not committed any Attacks within the past 2 Ticks.

War will also automatically end (a Kingdom will automatically Withdraw) if their Net Worth drops below 66% of the opponent's Net Worth on the first Tick this condition is satisfied. This will only occur after a minimum of 48 Ticks.

''The Withdrawing Kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production

''The Withdrawing Kingdom incurs the following '''penalties''':''

* 5% of the Kingdom's Land will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom
* 5% of the Kingdom's Honor will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom

=== Victory ===
A Kingdom is victorious when its opponent withdraws from War. This is also called Surrendering. A Kingdom can only Withdraw if it makes no Attacks for 2 consecutive Ticks. It can then Withdraw on the 3rd Tick. Dragons, Aid, Thievery Operations and Magic Spells do not affect a Kingdom's ability to Withdraw.


''After War, the winning kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of Median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 36 ticks of Production
* +50% advancement towards the next Scientist
* Land bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, subtracted from each Province then transferred and distributed evenly
* Land bonus equal to 10% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, distributed prioritizing smallest Provinces in the Winning Kingdom
* Honor bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Honor at the end of the War (subtracted from each province then transferred and distributed evenly), plus 200 Honor per Province
* Recognition on Kingdom Page based on the number of Wars achieved
* 2 additional War Score points
* War rewards are scaled by Kingdom's province count at the beginning of war.

'''Note:'''<br>
* Each additional War Win achieved will increase War Win bonuses (that are not transferred) by 5%, capped at 50% larger than baseline bonus.<br>
* War Win bonus will incur a 5% stacking penalty for each Province below 25, calculated at War start - max 25% reduction.
* At the conclusion of the age, Kingdoms will be awarded bonus War Score points for every Kingdom that they defeated in War, based on the defeated Kingdoms' total War Wins (if any). An additional provision of points will be granted for every Kingdom warred but not defeated, based on the total War Wins of those Kingdoms (if any), a Mutual peace counts as a loss in this instance.
* War Score will incur a 4% stacking penalty for each missing Province below maximum, calculated for each individual War, this penalty carries over to EoA adjustment, full points only awarded full Kingdoms.
* Defeating a kingdom 10% bigger in Net Worth at declaration awards the victor with an additional 30% Honor and 10% Science Books

=== End-of-War Ceasefire ===
After a War ends, neither Kingdom may have any Relations for an [[Utopia Time|Utopian Month]] and are automatically placed in a 24 hour End-of-War Ceasefire. During the ceasefire both Kingdoms remain in War relations, thus retaining the protection benefits while rebuilding. After 24 hours, the Kingdoms have the choice either to end the Ceasefire or to wait up to an additional 72 hours (96 hours total). This choice is independent of the other Kingdom.

''During this ceasefire, both sides benefit from:''

* Building Efficiency automatically restored to 100% if below 100%
* All Land currently out with armies at War end returns home immediately
* All Military Units currently out on Attacks against the War opponent return home immediately
* Negative Spell effects and Riots are removed
* Any Provinces affected by Plague it removed instantly
* Instant Population growth of 20% of maximum if you are under 50% of your maximum Population
* +1000% Birth Rate (minimum 500) for the first 24 Ticks
* Explore penalty reduced to 300% and explore time reduced by 50% for Provinces below Kingdom Median (including incoming explored Acres)
* Access to Paradise spell
* Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering EoWCF

'''Note:'''
* All Credits (Specialist or Building) will be lost upon exit of End of War Ceasefire
* Learn and Amnesia will return books over 48hrs, even if war ends.

= Out-Of-Range War Benefits =
There are no benefits for a War that was conducted outside of War Range (85%-117.64%). Neither winner or loser will gain Training or Building Credits and their Land and Troops will not instantly return (they will return at normal time).

= War Forum =
Shortly after declaring War, a temporary Forum is created. This is known as the War Forum.

In the War Forum Provinces from either Kingdom can interact by starting new threads or posting in existing ones.

Provinces are expected to interact respectfully and obey the Code of Conduct. Any offending material can be removed by either Kingdom's Monarch or Steward.

**Extending post war CF to 48 hours, monarch can opt out of the CF at any point after 24 hours have passed (each monarch can decide on his own - both kingdoms don't have to stay)
[[Age 51]]
*The End Of War Ceasefire period is extended to 72 hours but can now be exited after 12 hours with no daily honor loss in war
[[Age 52]]
*End of War Ceasefire period can be extended up to 4 days
[[Age 54]]
*The war declaration range for kingdoms will be changed to 25% smaller or 33% larger
*War will end automatically if your opponents networth drops to 50% of yours. This will only occur after a minimum of 7 days of warring and is calculated on tick.
*A war ending will grant, for both kds:
**All land currently out with armies at war end returns home immediately.
**Instant population growth of 20% of your max pop if you are under 50% of your max pop
**+500% Birthrate
**30% reduction in training costs of all troops.
**Draft cost reduced 50%
*Winning a war will grant the following:
**+10% honor taken from the opponents honor pool
**100 books of science per acre based on your median province
**3 times your median provinces acres in spec credits
**Free building credits to the total of your current unbuilt acres
[[Age 55]]
*Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.
*The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
*Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
*Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
[[Age 56]]
*Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.
[[Age 57]]
*In War the minimum gains will be reduced by 50%
[[Age 64]]
*War wins
**Acre reward capped at 20k
**Selecting land as a bonus will also result in a smaller honor bonus and vice versa.
[[Age 67]]
*50 books per acre of science (based on median province size) granted to both kingdoms
*An additional 150 BPA added to the winner
*Wizard training doubled in end of war ceasefire
[[Age 68]]
*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.
*End of War ceasefire: Maximum time reduced to 72 hours. Double wizards removed.
*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.
[[Age 71]]
*The War Win bonus choice of 'Land' or 'Honor' will be removed. All War Wins will yield a single bonus, which will be an increased amount of both Land and Honor. Similar to the minimum land bonus, a minimum honor bonus will also be added.
*Immediately upon entering End of War Cease-Fire any provinces affected by plague will have it removed instantly.
*Additionally, upon entering End of War Cease-Fire, the losing kingdom will receive 50% of their land as free building credits, while the winning kingdom will receive 150% of their land as free building credits. We would like to stimulate the ability for both kingdoms to recover from war such that both the losing kingdom has a better chance at coming out of war recovered and ready to fight again and more importantly, the winning kingdom has an opportunity to defend their land better upon exiting war.
[[Age 72]]
*WW Chart Chains - In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdoms, we have altered the formula to provide additional WW points (scaling from the current if the kingdom you war is outside of the top 50 for land, honor, NW, and warwins) to double the current points.
*WW Bonus - Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdompage based on the number of WW points they achieve. Each additional 'tier' that they obtain will also increase their WW bonus -- land, honor, credits, etc -- by 10%. This is capped at a WW bonus that is 50% larger than the baseline bonus.
*Finally the WW bonus will scale with kingdom size under 20 provinces to reduce the potential for abuse with kingdoms that remain intentionally small in the number of provinces.
*The War Win bonus will also include a provision of additional land to every province's individual explore pool in both kingdoms, this is mainly aimed at helping provinces that are destroyed in war to have a chance to grow back to a functional size.
*WAR - Exploration during eowcf will have reduced cost penalties (from 500% to 250% of normal cost).
*Propose War - Kingdoms will have the diplomatic option to Propose War to enemies in range and start war instantly instead of via attacks
[[Age73]]
*Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
*War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
[[Age 74]]
*Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.
*War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
*EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
*Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
[[Age 75]]
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
*War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
*War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
*Force Cease-Fire - There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
**The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
**The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
**The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
**If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
**The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
**There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
[[Age 76]]
*During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
[[Age 77]]
*The 10% reduced attack time granted instantly on War Declare will be removed
*Attack speed reduction from war will slide in up to -25% over 12 ticks
[[Age 78]]
*Auto Cease-Fire - The mechanic that allows a smaller Kingdom to automatically enter into a 7 day cease-fire with a larger Kingdom that has a large meter disparity will be removed
*War
**The amount of unique provinces required to attack from each Kingdom will be increased from 2 to 3 in order to declare war
**MAP reduction from War will be reduced by ~25%, this means that gains on a province with max MAP will be lower than they currently are
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Population growth will be increase from +500% to +1000%
**There will be a minimum peasant growth per tick of 500
[[Age 79]]
*There will remain a requirement of at least 3 provinces within a Kingdom to perform operations on the opposing Kingdom for War to be declared
*An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
*To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
*A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
**a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;
**b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
**c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender
**d) Aggressor has been Hostile with defender for at least 3 ticks.
*If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
*War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
*If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Birth Rate will be increased by current effects only for the first 36 hours
**Troop/Thief cost reduction will be removed
**All credits (Specialist/Build) will be lost upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire
**A small amount of science will be awarded to the winner
[[Age 81]]
*War
**War Range is now, low end 85% up to ~117.64% (1 / .85)
**Auto Surrender will be possible after 5 days of war instead of 7 when opponent is 50% or less networth
**Learn attack effects while in war will be increased from 4% to 8%
**Out of range wars will yield war points based on relative size at the war start and scale accordingly, for example:
**Example: 84.9% range = 100% points
***80% range = 85% points
***75% range = 65% points
***65% range = 20% points
***< 65% range = 0 points
*Force Cease-Fire
**If you are in war range (85-117.64%) when activating a Forced Cease-Fire your Kingdom will lose up to 3% honor at 95%+ and scale linearly to 1.5% at the bottom of the range (85%)
**This honor will be lost by the Kingdom pressing Force CF, it will not be transferred to the opponent Kingdom
[[Age 82]]
*War
**War declare range is now: (X * .85) to (X / .85)
**War win acre minimum bonus will be reduced to 2500 acres (from 4000)
*Force Cease-Fire
**Only kingdoms under 85% size can force CF with an aggressor (same requirements for time and attacks remain)
**Aggressor kingdoms can force CF after 24 hours of no attacks in kingdom news
[[Age 83]]
*War
**War win acre maximum bonus will be introduced and set to 10000 acres
*Force Cease-Fire
**This mechanic will no longer cancel dragons that have been started
[[Age 84]]
*War
**War may be declared by EITHER Kingdom if both Kingdoms have at least 75 Hostile Meter points
**Hostile Meter Cap is increased from 150 to 225
**End of War build credits awarded will be based on Median province size
**Build credits awarded to the losing Kingdom will be increased from 50% to 100%
**War Win science books awarded will be reduced from 72 hours of books to 48 hours
**While under Median, you are able to explore up to 500 acres (total land area) in a single explore. For example, if you are 50 acres with 0 acres currently being explored then you may explore up to 450 acres all at once which will take you to a total of 500 acres after the explore is complete.
*Force Cease-Fire
**While at war, a Kingdom will now be capable of activating Force CF (Defender only)
**Force CF duration will increase from 3 days to 5 days

[[Age 115]]

Revival: /* Change Log */ added a84

Sciences are the study of knowledge and create our pathway into the future. By studying the laws that govern our being and understanding the effects of these laws, we can strengthen ourselves in all that we do. The mystery of magic and thievery, our military prowess, even our methods of production can all be enhanced through the power of study with an investment in time devoted to those fields. The students of our province will lead us into the future with your careful direction.

Mastering the Arts & Sciences makes your people stronger, smarter, and more efficient. You can grow in strength without growing in size.

Details on the benefits of different sciences can be found below.

[[Age 62]]
*Gains science will be removed and replaced with a base military efficiency science bonus which will scale similarly to Population science.
[[Age 63]]
*Military Science: More points now required for the same effect
[[Age 64]]
*Extreme, Rushed, Intensive and Accelerated cost reduced
[[Age 69]]
* The new science system is introduced.
**Books of science and learning have been removed. You can no longer invest in science to create books, nor allocate them to different sciences. As a consequence, books no longer contribute to net worth, and book are no longer given as part of end of war bonuses.
**Instead of books, each province starts out with about 18 scientists, each of whom are are assigned to a random category of science, but which you can reassign at will. Every province has a chance of having a new scientists emerge on each game day, such that an average province will have about 80 - 120 by the end of the age, depending on mods. You will get a message in your province news whenever a new scientist emerges. Scientists do not take up population space.
**Each scientist makes an impact on the the science they are assigned to, such as + population or + food. The impact that each scientist makes mainly depends on their level: novice make a small impact, graduates make a larger impact and professors make double the impact of novices. The total impact of scientists is capped, depending on the science category. You would need about 120 professors to cap out every kind of science.
**Scientists skill up the longer you leave them assigned to the same science category, and drop back down to novice whenever you reassign them. It takes 72 game days (3 real days) to level up to graduate, and 168 game days (one real week) to reach professor. The number of game days required for each scientist to reach the next level is displayed on the science page.
**Scientists also make a contribution to net worth based on their skill level. Every game day of experience that your scientists have is valued at 2.6gc, meaning that 100 professors would contribute about 44K gc.
**Learns attacks are now replaced with Abduct attacks, which capture a number of random Scientists from your opponent. These scientists are captured intact with their experience, allocated science and name.
**The Amnesia spell has also been updated to make your opponent’s scientists lose a number of game days worth of experience. For some this will delay them reaching the next level, while it will effectively demote some others to the previous level.
**Fountain of Knowledge previously increased book production for a while. This spell is now gone, and is replaced by the Revelate spell. The revelate spell increases the probability of a new scientist emerging on each affected game day by 30% while it is cast.
**The Spy on Science op has been updated, and will steal a report on the total number of scientists assigned to each science type, along with their total effect (but you cannot steal specifics like how many professors there are).
**Libraries, used to create a bonus towards every science effect, including the science of tools, which in turn created a bonus on each land type except libraries, since that would mean that libraries and tools would have a circular effect on each other. **Libraries are now gone, along with the circular effect of libraries on other types of buildings. Knowledge of tools, which helps building efficiency, is governed solely by how many scientists you have allocated to it.
**A new building type, Laboratories, now helps generate more Scientists, increasing the probability that a new scientist will emerge on any given game day.
**Schools used to provide a home for books, having a dual effect of reducing the cost of producing books and protecting books from learn attacks. Schools are now gone. In their place are Universities, which provide refuge for Scientists from Abduction attacks.
**In short, laboratories help create scientists, while universities keep them safe from abduction and amnesia.
**The Sage personality previously had special advantages with books. Sages are still somewhat protected from learn attacks and enjoy sole access to the amnesia spell, but instead of their land spontaneously generating books, their scientists are 30% smarter. Instead of their books being protected from Learn attacks, their scientists have 50% reduced losses on Adbuct attacks. Also, instead of starting with more books, they start with 10% extra scientists.
**The Fortified stance previously had the effect of capping the research rate on books. This has now been changed. While in fortified, all scientific progress stops, as you have cut yourself off from the world. During fortified no new scientists will emerge, and your existing scientists will not progress in skill level.
[[Age 70]]
* Professors experience capped at 72 hours (a maxed-out professor will provide ~624gc Networth). Tools cap increased from 15% to 20%, housing and military cap from 10% to 15%, food from 100% to 200%, channeling from 100% to 125%. Additional scientist rank added: Recruit.
**Higher initial scientists
**Abduct rate boosted
**Spawn rate boosted
**Spawn rate increases each tick you do not get a scientist
**Laboratories boosted
**Revelate will double spawn rate
**Additional scientist rank Recruit- no effects, takes 6 hours to move up to Novice
**Professors will not accumulate experience past 72 hours
**Caps on some science categories modified along with impact of professors etc.
**Alchemy: 30%
**Tools: 20%
**Population: 15%
**Food: 200%
**Military: 15%
**Channeling: 125%
**Crime: 100%
**Magic sci will buff wizard production and wpa. Yes, this means it will not buff rune production.
[[Age 71]]
*Scientist Recruit rank reduced from 6 hours to 3 hours
*Scientist Spawn rate lowered slightly
*Food Science will now be Production Science, and it will increase both Food and Rune production
*Production Science maximum will be 120%, down from 200%
*Magic Science will no longer increase Wizard Production
*Approximately +50% Scientists will be required to reach maximum effects (We want there to be a strategic choice as to what science effects you have by reducing the spawn rate & increasing required scientists to reach max)
[[Age 72]]
*Scientists are generated on a flat ratio (7.5) similar to wizards instead of via RNG.
[[Age 73]]
*Science Caps - Science will no longer have a hard maximum for all categories. The purpose of this is to allow players more freedom to make your province unique and provide further bonuses to the areas you choose. Science will scale in a linear fashion similar to Age 72 up to the previously stated maximums as normal. Once this point is reached additional scientists will yield diminishing returns.
[[Age 74]]
*You can now choose which category your next scientist will spawn into (random is also an option)
*Scientist Experience will now show on your Science page and in the Spy on Sciences. This will allow for calculation of scientist networth to ultimately provide a method for determining wizard population. We feel that Wizards should have some mystery and require a bit of knowledge and pursuit to discover rather than have accurate information handed out in a single successful operation.
[[Age 75]]
*Scientist Max Networth will be adjusted
[[Age 76]]
*The number of scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories: 35.
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories at 35
[[Age 77]]
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories reduced from 35 to 30
*Scientist spawn rate will be increased by roughly 30%
*Scientist Networth will be reduced by roughly 35%
[[Age 78]]
*Science System
**Definition 'Category': A group of science types
**Definition 'Type': A specific kind of science that provides a bonus, i.e. Population Science
**Science effects will NOT be based on land size
**Science Types will be split into 3 major Categories (Economy, Warfare, Arcane Arts)
**Scientists will generate naturally, similar to the way they generate now, except much slower (Laboratories will increase scientist generation rate)
**Scientists will create books per tick
**Scientists get assigned to a Category (random or chosen)
**Scientists can progress in experience level which will increase book per tick generation
**Scientist experience will be based on how many books they have produced, not the amount of time they have been in a category
**Scientists can be re-assigned to a different category, but lose their experience (book / tick production will revert back to the starting level) similar to current system (there will be no Recruit period where they don't generate any books, they will generate books upon the first tick in whichever category they are in)
**Schools will increase book per tick generation, but will only increase production in a single Category, there will be a drop down menu to choose in which Category you want increased generation
**Books can be allocated to any science Type within the Category they have been produced
**Science effects will be diminishing returns starting from 0
**SoS will show unallocated books and total science effects / books / scientists (and level)
**Scientists will not have a networth value
**Books will have a networth value TBD (allocated and unallocated will be the same value)
**Allocated books will go into effect instantly, instead of learned over time, we refer to this as the hoyaah principle
*Science types are split into three categories:
**Economy:  
***Housing: Population bonus
***Tools: Building Efficiency bonus 
***Production: Rune & Food production bonus 
***Alchemy: Income bonus
***Bookkeeping: Wage reduction  
***Artisan: Construction time reduction
**Warfare:
***Siege: Attack gains bonus
***Tactics: Offensive Military Efficiency
***Valor: Military train time reduction & Dragon slaying bonus
***Heroism: Draft speed increase & draft cost reduction
***Strategy: Defensive Military Efficiency
**Arcane Arts:
***Crime: Thievery Effectiveness bonus (TPA)
***Sorcery: Wizard Effectiveness bonus (WPA)
***Shielding: Reduction of Enemy Thievery and Magic instant operation damage
***Invocation: Ritual cost reduction
***Cunning: Increase Damage of your Thievery and Magic instant operations
[[Age 79]]
*Scientists will generate faster
*Science effects will be adjusted
*Book generation rate will be reduced
*Artisan will include a reduced construction cost
*Inactive provinces will not produce books
[[Age 80]]
*Science effects will be adjusted (more detailed information will be provided in graphs)
*Book generation rate will be reduced
*Military Train Time science affects the train time reduction in an odd way and will be adjusted to be more intuitive
[[Age 84]]
*Artisan Science will now also reduce Raze cost
[[Age 115]]
*Resilience Multiplier decreased to 0.04401 from 0.0489
*Artisan Multiplier decreased to 0.04302 from 0.0478
*Finesse Multiplier decreased to 0.08685 from 0.0965

Thievery

2026-07-12T06:32:41Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a83

No one ever said leadership involves only public activities. With a state-sanctioned paramilitary thieves guild available to you, the possibilities are endless. What may not be possible through [[Relations#War|war]] or [[Mystics|magic]] may still be possible with deceit and deception. Never underestimate the power of the underground unknown.

Thieves are professional soldiers, trained in the arts of the elite underground and are trained on your [[Military]] Menu. They maintain a Stealth Rating which determines when they can be used. This rating rises automatically each day by 3 points and drops each time your thieves conduct an operation. Your thieves will not carry out missions without at least a 5% Stealth Rating.

The best measure of your guild's strength is the number of thieves you maintain per acre of land, often known as Thieves Per Acre (TPA), modified by your Thieves' Dens, your [[Science|Crime science]] and your [[Races and Personalities|racial]] bonuses or penalties. The success rate of your guild depends on both your and your target's TPA. The raw damage, however, is based on raw strength - the more thieves you use in an operation, the more damage they can do.

The larger your province, the more difficult it will be to keep your guild well-organized and efficient. As your province grows larger, be prepared to keep training additional thieves to keep your network intact and effective. Like most things in Utopia, thievery operations are easier and more effective against provinces similar to you in size.

Information on how to calculate thief operations can be found here.

Thievery operations are divided in two categories, as listed below:

*[[Thievery#The_Thieves'_Toolbox:_The_Espionage_Operations|Espionage Operations]]
*[[Thievery#The_Thieves'_Toolbox:_The_Sabotage_Operations|Sabotage Operations]]

Mystics

Revival: /* Changelog */

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

== The Spell Book: Self Spells ==

Listed here is a short reference guide to each of the spells available that can be cast on yourself. Any restrictions on use will be listed under the name. The max cast shown does not include any racial bonuses. Almost all the spells that provide bonuses for certain activities (like speeding up building construction etc.) need to be cast before the activity is initiated / ordered to reap the benefits of the spell.

=== Aggression ===
This spell refocuses your soldiers from versatile fighting units into an offensive machine. Giving them a lust for attacking, Soldiers will gain 2 offensive point in all combat for the duration of the spell.

Cast Message: Our soldiers will fight with unique aggression for X days!<br>

</div>

=== Animate Dead ===
The power to raise the dead gives you the power to protect your people. By casting this spell, you can protect your people from the death and destruction of defending your lands. During your next defensive battle, half of your dead army will be restored into basic soldiers to help repopulate your army.

</div>

=== Anonymity ===
[[Relations#War|War]] is at the heart of the world of Utopia, but the fear of retaliation makes many leaders cringe. This spell casts an aura of mystery around your army. After a successful cast, your forces will remain anonymous during your next attack -- while your kingdom will be revealed, your enemy will not know your province's name.

Is Known: Age 13 ... now

<div class="formula-box">
Available to: [[Races and Personalities|All]]<br>

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a83

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

† - this is a stacking chance per Tick, not Production

== Classes of Buildings ==


=== Capacity Buildings ===

These buildings simply create space for you, and are '''not''' impacted by efficiency issues. Homes, for example, provide additional space for peasants.

=== Flat Rate Buildings===

This type of building provides a set amount of a particular resource. These buildings need many employees to be fully effective. These buildings '''are''' impacted by building efficiency. An example is a Tower which creates a set number of runes each day.

=== Percentage-based Buildings ===
The majority of Utopian buildings are percentage-based. These buildings provide an effect based on the portion of your land covered by it. For example, having 10% of your land as Banks will increase your income by a certain percentage. Like flat-rate buildings, these also require employees to provide full effects. In addition, each additional building you construct will be less effective. The numbers listed in this section would be for the first building you construct. Your Internal Affairs Advisor will help you to understand the benefits of your land. Unless otherwise specified, these buildings have a maximum effect of 25 times the number listed below. With normal [[Growth|building efficiency]], this maximum is reached by dedicating 50% of your land to that building.

== The Buildings ==

=== Barren Land ===

Barren lands are not an actual building. These are simply available acres - gained by exploration, the Paradise spell or attacks - in your province that can be built up with real buildings as described below. Nevertheless, barren lands can still hold a few people and produce a very small amount of food every day.

* Increases your maximum population by 15 (built land has a base capacity of 25)
* Produces 2 Bushels per Day

=== Homes ===

While every built up acre of land already houses people – which means Homes are not a necessity for a province – you may find yourself wanting more population. Homes give your citizen more place to live, and also increase your natural birth rates. Furthermore, Homes employ no peasant and will thus overall help you fill all the jobs in your province.

* Increases your maximum Population by 10 (on top of the 25 that a completed Building provides, for a total of 35)
* Generates 0.3 extra Peasants per Tick (30% stacking chance to gain a Peasant per Home)
**Affected by Chastity
* Employs no one
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Farms ===

Farms are one of the most important buildings in your province, and also a vital one. Every day, each of your people will eat 0,25 bushels, and each Farm produces 60 bushels per day. Watch your food supplies very carefully, because otherwise starvation might deplete your population rather fast!

* Produces 60 Bushels Per Day

=== Mills ===

Exploration is one of the main ways of growing in Utopia, and building Mills will help you to send out expeditions at cheaper cost. Furthermore, Mills will also improve your builders skills, making building construction slightly less expensive.

* Decreases Building Costs by % * 4 (Max of 100%)
* Reduces exploration gold expenses by % * 3
* Reduces exploration soldier cost by % * 2

=== Banks ===

Banks are one of the major sources of income in Utopia along with tax collection. Every day, each Bank you own will produce some gold. Furthermore, your Banks all work together at improving your tax collection facilities, increasing further your global income.

* Generates 25gc per day
* Increases Income by % * 1.5

=== Training Grounds ===

Maintaining a good offense is important for all attackers, and Training Grounds bolster that by providing an enhanced training to all your offensive troops. This allows them to fight more efficiently in combat, thus increasing your overall attacking power.

* Increases Offensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5
* Training Time reduced by % * 1

=== Armouries ===

Armouries improve your military training process, allowing you to train your soldiers to advanced levels at a cheaper cost. Armouries also facilitate your peasant enrolment process and diminish your military maintenance costs.

* Decreases Draft Costs by % * 2
* Decreases Daily Wages by % * 2
* Decreases Military Training Costs by % * 1.5

=== Military Barracks ===

Military Barracks are another military-oriented building. The employees of the Barracks are in charge of your military logistics, and a well-equipped army will reach the enemy land faster, making yourself less vulnerable to attacks while your troops are out on a campaign.

* Lowers Attack Time by % * 1.5
* Reduced Mercenary costs by % * 2

=== Forts ===

Forts provide a superior protection to the troops held in garrison in your province, increasing your overall defensive strength against attacks. Maintaining a good defense is important if you want to keep your acres and resources safe.

* Increases Defensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5

=== Castles ===

Unlike Forts, Castles will not make you less vulnerable to attacks. Nevertheless, they will effectively protect your land, resources and honor, making the enemy’s attacks against your province less efficient.

* Decreases Resource (Land, Gold, Food, Runes) Losses when Attacked by % * 2
* Decreases Honor Losses when Attacked by % * 2

=== Hospitals ===

Having a good military power is important, and keeping your soldiers healthy is vital in order to achieve this. By deploying Hospitals in the battlefields, you will significantly lower the casualties suffered by your troops in combat. Furthermore, your medics will work at curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]] if your province ever catches it.

* Decreases Military Casualties by % * 3
* % * 3 Daily Chance of Curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]]
* % * 2 Increased Birth Rate

=== Guilds ===

Unlike all your other units, either the military footmen or the thieves, wizards are not trained by using gold. Your ascendant wizards will have to go through intensive studies in Guilds before being able to serve you properly. They are an absolute necessity for Mages.

* Trains 0.02 Wizards per Tick (2% stacking chance to train a Wizard per Guild)
* Determines and Increases Spell Duration (capped at 20% Guilds)
* Increases Self Spell and Ritual success chance

Guilds also increase the duration of your Self and Offensive Spells.<br>
Guilds are unaffected by BE (Building Efficiency) for the purposes of calculating Spell Duration or Wizards trained.

=== Towers ===

Towers are massive buildings that are used in order to channel mystic energies produced by the Earth into small stones called runes. Runes are then expended by your wizards while casting magic spells.

* Produces 12 Runes Per Day

=== Thieves Dens ===

Thieves Dens are the lair of all the thieves in your province, serving as the place where they practice their obscure and dark skills. Thieves Dens will increase the success rate of thievery operations you conduct as well as lowering your thief losses. Thieves Dens are a must for all Thieves.

* Lowers Losses in Thievery Operations by % * 3.6 (capped at 90%)
* Increases Thievery Effectiveness by % * 3

=== Watch Towers ===

While your own thieves can protect your land against enemy thieves, a little extra protection is never a bad thing. People assigned into Watch Towers will screen your borders and can catch thieves attempting to conduct operations in your province.

* % * 2.0 Chance of Catching Enemy Thieves
* Reduces damage caused by Enemy Thieves by % * 2.5

=== Universities ===

Universities increase your scientist generation rate and allow your scientists to produce books more effectively.

* Increase spawn rate of new scientists by % * 1.5
* % * 1 Higher Generation of Science Books
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Libraries ===

Libraries increase Science Efficiency.

* % * 1 Higher Science Efficiency
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Stables ===

Stables are the buildings where your peasants breed your war horses, strong horses sent in combat and increasing the offensive strength of the troop mounting them. Nevertheless, horses do not participate in defense, and you obviously cannot send more horses in combat than you have actual troops!

* Produces 2 Horses Per Day
* Holds 80 Horses

=== Dungeons ===

Prisoners caught in combat are held captive in your dungeons. A dungeon can only hold a limited number of prisoners.

While imprisoned, prisoners will be assigned to province duties, providing you some extra gold. For more detailed information on how much gold they generate, please go to [[Economy]] for the income formula or go to [[Military]] for an additional definition of Prisoners.

Deserting troops will fill dungeons first, if any space is available, before being completely lost.

* Houses 30 Prisoners of War

== Retired buildings ==
* Shipyards: 1.5% chance of creating a boat, holds 5 boats per shipyard. 1 boat was needed per 100 troops sent to attack someone on another island.
* Taverns: Lowered Draft costs and Mercenary costs.
* Plazas: Employed extra Peasants.
* Strongholds: Increased OME (now Training Grounds).
* Mines: Produced a certain number of gold per acre.
* Schools: Increase production of Science Books.
* Laboratories: Increase scientist spawn rate.
* Guard Stations: Decreases Land and Resource Losses when Attacked by % * 2

==Construction==

Note that construction speed is rounded at .5 That means if the build time is 15.49, then it is rounded down to 15. If it is 15.5, it will be rounded up to 16. For a double speed build, assuming normal construction is 15.49, the speed build time will be 15.49/2 = 7.745 = rounded up to 8 hours.

Relations

2026-07-12T06:29:25Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a83

[[Military#Understanding_Attacks|Attacking]] another kingdom affects the relations between the two kingdoms.

By continually attacking, your kingdom's conflict level against the opposing kingdom will the hostile meter, thereby changing the relation type; first from '''Normal''' to '''Unfriendly''', and then '''Hostile'''.

There are five relation types, each of which have various benefits and penalties.
* Note: The hostile relations decay after 96h without war <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>

= Relation Types =
Each kingdom will have differing relations amongst one another in the world of Utopia. How these relations evolve (or fall apart) will be dependent on the history, conflict level, and diplomatic abilities of the Monarchs and their Stewards. You can see your relation with any given kingdom by viewing their respective [[Kingdom]] page. It is indicated as such:
<div class="formula-box">
Their Attitude Towards Us : XX<br>
Our Attitude Towards Them : YY<br>
</div>

== Normal ==
*No effects, except:
*When out of war <sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>, targeting a kingdom that is less than 85% your Land and Net Worth, the following penalties apply:
**Battle Gains: -10%
**Military Casualties: +10%
**Honor Gains: -25%
**Attack Time: +20% <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

This is the default relation between all kingdoms from the start of the [[Age]]. '''Normal''' relations will resume after a '''War''' or '''Ceasefire''' ends.

== Unfriendly <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Unfriendly'' is the first elevated stage of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, granting access to additional hostile actions.

When the [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]] reaches '''15 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance changes to '''Unfriendly''' toward the target kingdom. This unlocks stronger offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]].

=== Effects ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:70%; text-align:center;"
|+ '''Effects When Your Kingdom is Unfriendly Towards Another'''
|-

|-
| +1.5% || –2.5% || +2.5% || –1% || +1%
|}

== Hostile <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Hostile'' is the second level of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, marking a major escalation in aggression.

When the [[Hostile Meter]] reaches '''30 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance becomes '''Hostile''' toward the target kingdom. Dropping below this threshold returns relations to '''Unfriendly'''. Hostile status unlocks powerful offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]], including [[Mystics#Meteor_Showers|Meteor Showers]], and reduces mana and stealth costs for hostile actions to **2%**.

=== Effects ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:70%; text-align:center;"

|}

=== Summary ===
Hostile relations represent a significant step toward open conflict, offering access to devastating hostile operations and spells. This stage is often a precursor to full-scale War.

== Ceasefire ==
==== Agreed Ceasefire ====
Also known as a '''Non Aggression Pact''' (as seen on the opposing kingdom page and when targeting with spells/ops).
* Prohibits any [[Attacking & Defending|Attacks]], Spells, or Ops between opposing kingdoms
* Annuls [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]]
* Minimum duration of 1 [[Utopia Time| Utopian Month]]
* Can be enforced for a max of 3 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Years]]

Both Monarchs and Stewards can send, accept, and break Ceasefires. Once accepted, the Ceasefire agreement cannot be broken for the next 24 hours, though the Monarch or Steward can choose to extend this date no further than 3 weeks.<br> While a Ceasefire is in effect, no hostile actions will be allowed between the two Kingdoms.

==== Forced Ceasefire ====
Defensive Force Ceasefire reintroduced with the following changes:
* DFCF becomes available when all of the following are met:
** The kingdom is 45 points (in-range) or 30 points (out-of-range) below the aggressor on the hostility meter
** The aggressor has not been given Hostile status
** No attacks have been made against the aggressor for 3 ticks
** The kingdom is lower in both Land and Networth than the aggressor
** '''Cannot FCF until 3 ticks of Hostile have occurred''' <sup> NEW* </sup>
* DFCF will incur a penalty if within War Range of the aggressor (15% NW or Land)
** Penalty will be a loss of 1.75% Honor and 1.75% Science.
** There is no penalty incurred for DCFC if out of War Range of the aggressor
** Penalty will have a warning popup, as to not be done accidentally
* DFCFd duration will be for 48 hours before it can be cancelled by either kingdom
<br><br>
Hostile meter will now decay after 48 hours of going hostile, decay rate will ramp with meter points





[[Relations#End-of-War_Ceasefire|End-of-War Ceasefire]] has slightly different effects and conditions.

== War ==
War begins when a kingdom ''declares War'' on a Hostile kingdom '''OR''' if the maximum hostility level is reached by both Kingdoms.

In order to declare War, a Kingdom must:
* have received Attacks from at least three unique provinces on either side (except if Monarch/Stewards grant Hostile Operations)
* be in Range (more than 85% and less than 117.64% of its Net Worth or Land when declaring up, but must be in range for BOTH LAND and NET WORTH when declaring down.)<sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>
* be ''at least'' '''Unfriendly''' with the opposing Kingdom, '''AND''' that Kingdom must be '''Hostile''' with your Kingdom

''In instances where both kingdoms are '''Hostile''', the Kingdom with fewer meter points will receive the [[Relations#Starting_a_War|"button"]] and be able to declare while. When 60 points are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare''

''If 180 points are reached by both Kingdoms, War automatically starts.''

Wars last a minimum of 2 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Months]] (48 hours) after declaration.

A Kingdom can only War one other Kingdom at a time.

Honor and Land gains are higher in War than out of War.

=== Immediate Effects ===
* War overrides relations with all other kingdoms. Upon leaving War, '''Normal''' relations will resume. While in War, there is a decay of two hostility points per [[Time_in_Utopia|Utopian Month]] or 1/5th of the Meter, whichever is greater.
* Provinces created in War will be in [[Protection]] for 72 days and start with zero soldiers and zero credits.
{{H3|Benefits}}

* Mana & Stealth costs for offensive spells/ops reduced to 2%

* Unlocks [[Thievery#Propaganda|Propaganda]] and [[Thievery#Sabotage_Wizards|Sabotage Wizards]] Operations
* Unlocks [[Mystics#Amnesia|Amnesia]] and [[Mystics#Expose_Thives|Expose Thieves]] Spells

{{H3|Penalties}}
*[[Mystics#Paradise|Paradise]] cannot be cast (except during EoWCF)
*600% Exploration Costs

=== After 12 Hours ===
{{H3|Benefits}}
*-15% Attack Time

=== After 24 Hours ===
{{H3|Benefits}}
*-80% Gains, Military Casualties and Effectiveness for Spells and Operations to and from other Kingdoms (this fades in from War start)

=== Fake War ===
Any informal or formal agreements made between kingdoms in regards to warring must abide by the Code of Conduct. Violations may cause the war to be deemed a Fake War. Fake Wars are subject to actions by the game operators. As the determination for a Fake War is made on a case-by-case basis by the game operators, the exact punishment may vary.

Ways a War can be faked (Please note, this is just an idea and not a comprehensive list):
*Requesting specific people be targeted by opposing Kingdom or accepting to action a request from the opposing Monarch
*Non-aggression pact during War of any duration and at any time
*Attempts to manipulate War-Win rankings using friends to initiate multiple Wars
*Agreement to trading Acres for a War Win
*"Ending" a war before minimum war duration

Punishments may include (Again, not a comprehensive list):
*Removal from the End of Age rankings for both kingdoms
*Deletion and temporary ban of players making the agreement
*Removal of war wins
*Monarchs of both Kingdoms deleted
*Removal of any gains of the Fake War from all Kingdom members (even if they were unaware of the Fake War)

=== Province Creation ===
Provinces created/reset during War will start without Soldiers, Military & Building Credits.

= Starting a War =
Once the '''Hostile''' relation status has been reached by one kingdom, the Monarch of the least hostile Kingdom will receive the option to Declare War as long as their own relations with that Kingdom are at a minimum of '''Unfriendly'''. This "War Button" appears on the Relations Page under the War tab. If both kingdoms have reached '''Hostile''' relations status, the kingdom with fewer points (while under 60 points) will have a "Declare War" button. When both kingdoms reach 60 points, the button will be available to both. Once the button is pressed certain effects are immediately applied; others slowly take effect, rising to their maximum potential over a 24 hour period.

= Ending a War =
Only the Kingdom's Monarch (or Steward) is able to end a war. This is accomplished in one of two ways: Mutual Peace or Withdrawal. Either choice results in an end-of-war ceasefire.

=== Mutual Peace ===
This option requires consent by both parties and simply settles the war with no winner. This is an excellent option when both kingdoms simply lose interest in the war or find it more beneficial to simply move on.

''Both kingdoms receive:''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional land to each province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production
* 1 additional War Score point

=== Withdrawal ===
Once the Minimum Time limit is reached (48 Ticks), either Kingdom can Withdraw from War. Withdrawals can occur if the Withdrawing Kingdom has not committed any Attacks within the past 2 Ticks.

War will also automatically end (a Kingdom will automatically Withdraw) if their Net Worth drops below 66% of the opponent's Net Worth on the first Tick this condition is satisfied. This will only occur after a minimum of 48 Ticks.

''The Withdrawing Kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production

''The Withdrawing Kingdom incurs the following '''penalties''':''

* 5% of the Kingdom's Land will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom
* 5% of the Kingdom's Honor will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom

=== Victory ===
A Kingdom is victorious when its opponent withdraws from War. This is also called Surrendering. A Kingdom can only Withdraw if it makes no Attacks for 2 consecutive Ticks. It can then Withdraw on the 3rd Tick. Dragons, Aid, Thievery Operations and Magic Spells do not affect a Kingdom's ability to Withdraw.


''After War, the winning kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of Median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 36 ticks of Production
* +50% advancement towards the next Scientist
* Land bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, subtracted from each Province then transferred and distributed evenly
* Land bonus equal to 10% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, distributed prioritizing smallest Provinces in the Winning Kingdom
* Honor bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Honor at the end of the War (subtracted from each province then transferred and distributed evenly), plus 200 Honor per Province
* Recognition on Kingdom Page based on the number of Wars achieved
* 2 additional War Score points
* War rewards are scaled by Kingdom's province count at the beginning of war.

'''Note:'''<br>
* Each additional War Win achieved will increase War Win bonuses (that are not transferred) by 5%, capped at 50% larger than baseline bonus.<br>
* War Win bonus will incur a 5% stacking penalty for each Province below 25, calculated at War start - max 25% reduction.
* At the conclusion of the age, Kingdoms will be awarded bonus War Score points for every Kingdom that they defeated in War, based on the defeated Kingdoms' total War Wins (if any). An additional provision of points will be granted for every Kingdom warred but not defeated, based on the total War Wins of those Kingdoms (if any), a Mutual peace counts as a loss in this instance.
* War Score will incur a 4% stacking penalty for each missing Province below maximum, calculated for each individual War, this penalty carries over to EoA adjustment, full points only awarded full Kingdoms.
* Defeating a kingdom 10% bigger in Net Worth at declaration awards the victor with an additional 30% Honor and 10% Science Books

=== End-of-War Ceasefire ===
After a War ends, neither Kingdom may have any Relations for an [[Utopia Time|Utopian Month]] and are automatically placed in a 24 hour End-of-War Ceasefire. During the ceasefire both Kingdoms remain in War relations, thus retaining the protection benefits while rebuilding. After 24 hours, the Kingdoms have the choice either to end the Ceasefire or to wait up to an additional 72 hours (96 hours total). This choice is independent of the other Kingdom.

''During this ceasefire, both sides benefit from:''

* Building Efficiency automatically restored to 100% if below 100%
* All Land currently out with armies at War end returns home immediately
* All Military Units currently out on Attacks against the War opponent return home immediately
* Negative Spell effects and Riots are removed
* Any Provinces affected by Plague it removed instantly
* Instant Population growth of 20% of maximum if you are under 50% of your maximum Population
* +1000% Birth Rate (minimum 500) for the first 24 Ticks
* Explore penalty reduced to 300% and explore time reduced by 50% for Provinces below Kingdom Median (including incoming explored Acres)
* Access to Paradise spell
* Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering EoWCF

'''Note:'''
* All Credits (Specialist or Building) will be lost upon exit of End of War Ceasefire
* Learn and Amnesia will return books over 48hrs, even if war ends.

= Out-Of-Range War Benefits =
There are no benefits for a War that was conducted outside of War Range (85%-117.64%). Neither winner or loser will gain Training or Building Credits and their Land and Troops will not instantly return (they will return at normal time).

= War Forum =
Shortly after declaring War, a temporary Forum is created. This is known as the War Forum.

In the War Forum Provinces from either Kingdom can interact by starting new threads or posting in existing ones.

Provinces are expected to interact respectfully and obey the Code of Conduct. Any offending material can be removed by either Kingdom's Monarch or Steward.

*War Recovery
**In CF, +200% increase in birth rates (from +50%)
**Extending post war CF to 48 hours, monarch can opt out of the CF at any point after 24 hours have passed (each monarch can decide on his own - both kingdoms don't have to stay)
[[Age 51]]
*The End Of War Ceasefire period is extended to 72 hours but can now be exited after 12 hours with no daily honor loss in war
[[Age 52]]
*End of War Ceasefire period can be extended up to 4 days
[[Age 54]]
*The war declaration range for kingdoms will be changed to 25% smaller or 33% larger
*War will end automatically if your opponents networth drops to 50% of yours. This will only occur after a minimum of 7 days of warring and is calculated on tick.
*A war ending will grant, for both kds:
**All land currently out with armies at war end returns home immediately.
**Instant population growth of 20% of your max pop if you are under 50% of your max pop
**+500% Birthrate
**30% reduction in training costs of all troops.
**Draft cost reduced 50%

**+10% honor taken from the opponents honor pool
**100 books of science per acre based on your median province
**3 times your median provinces acres in spec credits
**Free building credits to the total of your current unbuilt acres
[[Age 55]]
*Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.
*The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
*Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
*Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
[[Age 56]]
*Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.
[[Age 57]]
*In War the minimum gains will be reduced by 50%
[[Age 64]]
*War wins
**Acre reward capped at 20k
**Selecting land as a bonus will also result in a smaller honor bonus and vice versa.
[[Age 67]]
*50 books per acre of science (based on median province size) granted to both kingdoms
*An additional 150 BPA added to the winner
*Wizard training doubled in end of war ceasefire
[[Age 68]]
*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.
*End of War ceasefire: Maximum time reduced to 72 hours. Double wizards removed.
*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.
[[Age 71]]
*The War Win bonus choice of 'Land' or 'Honor' will be removed. All War Wins will yield a single bonus, which will be an increased amount of both Land and Honor. Similar to the minimum land bonus, a minimum honor bonus will also be added.
*Immediately upon entering End of War Cease-Fire any provinces affected by plague will have it removed instantly.
*Additionally, upon entering End of War Cease-Fire, the losing kingdom will receive 50% of their land as free building credits, while the winning kingdom will receive 150% of their land as free building credits. We would like to stimulate the ability for both kingdoms to recover from war such that both the losing kingdom has a better chance at coming out of war recovered and ready to fight again and more importantly, the winning kingdom has an opportunity to defend their land better upon exiting war.
[[Age 72]]
*WW Chart Chains - In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdoms, we have altered the formula to provide additional WW points (scaling from the current if the kingdom you war is outside of the top 50 for land, honor, NW, and warwins) to double the current points.
*WW Bonus - Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdompage based on the number of WW points they achieve. Each additional 'tier' that they obtain will also increase their WW bonus -- land, honor, credits, etc -- by 10%. This is capped at a WW bonus that is 50% larger than the baseline bonus.
*Finally the WW bonus will scale with kingdom size under 20 provinces to reduce the potential for abuse with kingdoms that remain intentionally small in the number of provinces.
*The War Win bonus will also include a provision of additional land to every province's individual explore pool in both kingdoms, this is mainly aimed at helping provinces that are destroyed in war to have a chance to grow back to a functional size.
*WAR - Exploration during eowcf will have reduced cost penalties (from 500% to 250% of normal cost).
*Propose War - Kingdoms will have the diplomatic option to Propose War to enemies in range and start war instantly instead of via attacks
[[Age73]]
*Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
*War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
[[Age 74]]
*Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.
*War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
*EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
*Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
[[Age 75]]
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
*War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
*War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
*Force Cease-Fire - There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
**The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
**The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
**The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
**If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
**The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
**There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
[[Age 76]]
*During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
[[Age 77]]
*The 10% reduced attack time granted instantly on War Declare will be removed
*Attack speed reduction from war will slide in up to -25% over 12 ticks
[[Age 78]]
*Auto Cease-Fire - The mechanic that allows a smaller Kingdom to automatically enter into a 7 day cease-fire with a larger Kingdom that has a large meter disparity will be removed
*War
**The amount of unique provinces required to attack from each Kingdom will be increased from 2 to 3 in order to declare war
**MAP reduction from War will be reduced by ~25%, this means that gains on a province with max MAP will be lower than they currently are
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Population growth will be increase from +500% to +1000%
**There will be a minimum peasant growth per tick of 500
[[Age 79]]
*There will remain a requirement of at least 3 provinces within a Kingdom to perform operations on the opposing Kingdom for War to be declared
*An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
*To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
*A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
**a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;
**b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
**c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender
**d) Aggressor has been Hostile with defender for at least 3 ticks.
*If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
*War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
*If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Birth Rate will be increased by current effects only for the first 36 hours
**Troop/Thief cost reduction will be removed
**All credits (Specialist/Build) will be lost upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire
**A small amount of science will be awarded to the winner
[[Age 81]]
*War
**War Range is now, low end 85% up to ~117.64% (1 / .85)
**Auto Surrender will be possible after 5 days of war instead of 7 when opponent is 50% or less networth
**Learn attack effects while in war will be increased from 4% to 8%
**Out of range wars will yield war points based on relative size at the war start and scale accordingly, for example:
**Example: 84.9% range = 100% points
***80% range = 85% points
***75% range = 65% points
***65% range = 20% points
***< 65% range = 0 points
*Force Cease-Fire
**If you are in war range (85-117.64%) when activating a Forced Cease-Fire your Kingdom will lose up to 3% honor at 95%+ and scale linearly to 1.5% at the bottom of the range (85%)
**This honor will be lost by the Kingdom pressing Force CF, it will not be transferred to the opponent Kingdom
[[Age 82]]
*War
**War declare range is now: (X * .85) to (X / .85)
**War win acre minimum bonus will be reduced to 2500 acres (from 4000)
*Force Cease-Fire
**Only kingdoms under 85% size can force CF with an aggressor (same requirements for time and attacks remain)
**Aggressor kingdoms can force CF after 24 hours of no attacks in kingdom news
[[Age 83]]
*War
**War win acre maximum bonus will be introduced and set to 10000 acres
*Force Cease-Fire
**This mechanic will no longer cancel dragons that have been started

[[Age 115]]
*DFCF Updated

[[File:Age 115 Dragons Cards.jpeg|center|link=]]

'''Dragons''' are creatures that help to disrupt the target Kingdom.

[[Politics|Monarch]] and [[Politics|Stewards]] can choose which Dragon type and the target Kingdom.

When Dragon project is chosen and started, provinces can donate money and food for funding.

When the Dragon is sent to an opposing kingdom, it will wreak havoc on their lands. The Dragon will continue to do so for two full months (48 ticks) or until slain by the enemy kingdom's forces.

==<span style="color: #FFC300">Dragon's Behavior==


* Troops will slay a dragon at their respective strength. Every soldier sent will destroy strength in the amount of its offense. If a soldier is 3/0, it will cause 3 damage per soldier towards the slaying of the dragon. If your elite is 14/4, it will cause 14 damage per troop towards the slaying of the dragon (before slay modifiers). <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

* Troops sent to slay dragon are unaffected by any spells that increase unit damage, percent or flat rate increase such as [[Mystics#Bloodlust|Bloodlust]] or [[Mystics#Aggression|Aggression]]

* All provinces can boost their dragon slaying strength by investing in '''Valor''' science.

* Thieves, Wizards and Prisoners '''cannot''' be used to slay a dragon.

* Some races or personalities may receive a bonus to dragon slaying strength of all troops (including soldiers).

* Dragons will fly away on their own on the dawning of the 3rd (third) Utopian month; having lasted for a total of 48 utopian days.

* Dragons send range is from 20% smaller to 25% larger in relation to kingdoms net worth. Dragon send range will be removed when targeting a Kingdom you are at war with.

* Monarchs and Stewards have the option to start a dragon project. Once a dragon project is started a Fund Dragon menu link will appear in the navigation area for all qualified provinces to help funding the dragon project. When fully funded, only the '''Monarch''' or '''Steward(s)''' will have the ability to send the dragon.

* Provinces in protection may not fund or slay a dragon.

* Once a kingdom receives a Dragon, a menu link will appear in the affected players navigation area allowing them access to the Slay Dragon section.

* A dragon will automatically be cancelled upon the commencement of a '''EOWCF'''. Dragons are automatically cancelled when a regular ceasefire or forced ceasefire happens.

Revival: /* Changelog */

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a82

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

**Illuminate Shadows (Paladin Only) - Provide target with -20% damage from thievery operations (moderate/high difficulty;moderate duration)
**Wrathful Smite (Paladin Only) - Attacks against province while this spell is active will result in higher casualties for the attacker (moderate difficulty;low/moderate duration)
**Divine Shield (Paladin Only) - Increase magic defense of target (will stack with Magic Shield;low/moderate difficulty;moderate duration)
*Sorcery
**Magic Ward (Unf Only) (Paladin Only) - Increase target's spell cost in runes by 25% for duration (moderate difficulty)
**Barrier of Integrity (Unf Only) (Paladin Only) - Stops all drafting that would normally take place in target province (moderate/high difficulty;very short duration)
[[Age 73]]
*Mana Costs - Flat cost - 3% self spell, 3% offensive spell (2% with relations) & 2% flat rate for all Paladin self spells on others & Ritual Spell casts will also be a flat cost of 2%
*Paladin Spells - Increase all Paladin only spell durations
*Paladin Self Spells - The formula used to calculate success rate will be adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require Paladins to have WPA but the new formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their Paladins. In other words, a significant increase in the success rate of Paladin spells, although you still need WPA it won't be as significant a part of the formula as previously.
*There will be a new spell used specifically for Ritual destruction. The spell will be in the upper tier of difficulty and will reduce strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x on 5 different provinces. Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.
*Elite Longevity - Elite losses via NightStrike will be closer to losses of Specialists seen now. Elites that go into retraining from Nightmare will also increase closer to that of specialists. Propaganda has also seen an increase to elite damage closer to that of Specialists. Military Casualties will be unchanged
[[Age 74]]
*Inspire Army/Paladin's Inspiration - Both of these spells are capable of being cast on a Province, however, while PI is cast it's effects will prevail until it wears off. Therefore, the bonuses from each of these spells will not stack, only 1 will be applied if both are present.
*Some Paladin Only spell durations tweaked slightly higher
*Nature's Blessing - The chance to cure plague will be increased to 1/3 up from 1/5
[[Age 75]]
*Some Paladin Only spell durations adjusted slightly higher
*All Instant Sorcery Spells will have damage reduced by 5%
*A slight reduction in damage will be made on the effectiveness of operations performed the farther out of range a province is (this will be affected in both directions, small vs large and large vs small)
[[Age 76]]
*Support spells will no longer have the possibility of exploding wizards
[[Age 77]]
*Expose Thieves will only become available with Unfriendly relations
*Support Spells - Success formula will be tweaked slightly to be more difficult in extreme range scenarios
[[Age 78]]
*Amnesia
**Will be WAR only
**Will reduce the effectiveness of target science, base reduction per cast is currently planned ~.5-.9% further affected by RNG and other factors, reduced science effectiveness will be removed upon entering End of War Cease-Fire
[[Age 79]]
*Amnesia - The minimum effectiveness reduction from this spell will be increased
[[Age 80]]
* Bloodlust effects are now:
**+20% Offensive Military Efficiency
**+15% Enemy Military Casualties
**+30% Own Military Casualties
[[Age 81]]
*Ghost Workers will reduce the amount of jobs needed to be filled for maximum Building Efficiency by 15%
*There is a new category referred to as Support
**Support Spells are the only spells that can be cast on Kingdom Mates (if your race/personality has the ability)
**Having the ability to cast Support Spells on Kingdom Mates does NOT grant access to ALL of these spells
**Support Spells are:
***Minor Protection, Greater Protection, Fertile Lands, Magic Shield, Mystic Aura, Nature's Blessing, Love and Peace, Builder's Boon, Inspire Army, Patriotism, Scientific Insight, Illuminate Shadows, Wrathful Smite, Invisibility, Aggression, Animate Dead

† - this is a stacking chance per Tick, not Production

== Classes of Buildings ==


=== Capacity Buildings ===

These buildings simply create space for you, and are '''not''' impacted by efficiency issues. Homes, for example, provide additional space for peasants.

=== Flat Rate Buildings===

This type of building provides a set amount of a particular resource. These buildings need many employees to be fully effective. These buildings '''are''' impacted by building efficiency. An example is a Tower which creates a set number of runes each day.

=== Percentage-based Buildings ===
The majority of Utopian buildings are percentage-based. These buildings provide an effect based on the portion of your land covered by it. For example, having 10% of your land as Banks will increase your income by a certain percentage. Like flat-rate buildings, these also require employees to provide full effects. In addition, each additional building you construct will be less effective. The numbers listed in this section would be for the first building you construct. Your Internal Affairs Advisor will help you to understand the benefits of your land. Unless otherwise specified, these buildings have a maximum effect of 25 times the number listed below. With normal [[Growth|building efficiency]], this maximum is reached by dedicating 50% of your land to that building.

== The Buildings ==

=== Barren Land ===

Barren lands are not an actual building. These are simply available acres - gained by exploration, the Paradise spell or attacks - in your province that can be built up with real buildings as described below. Nevertheless, barren lands can still hold a few people and produce a very small amount of food every day.

* Increases your maximum population by 15 (built land has a base capacity of 25)
* Produces 2 Bushels per Day

=== Homes ===

While every built up acre of land already houses people – which means Homes are not a necessity for a province – you may find yourself wanting more population. Homes give your citizen more place to live, and also increase your natural birth rates. Furthermore, Homes employ no peasant and will thus overall help you fill all the jobs in your province.

* Increases your maximum Population by 10 (on top of the 25 that a completed Building provides, for a total of 35)
* Generates 0.3 extra Peasants per Tick (30% stacking chance to gain a Peasant per Home)
**Affected by Chastity
* Employs no one
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Farms ===

Farms are one of the most important buildings in your province, and also a vital one. Every day, each of your people will eat 0,25 bushels, and each Farm produces 60 bushels per day. Watch your food supplies very carefully, because otherwise starvation might deplete your population rather fast!

* Produces 60 Bushels Per Day

=== Mills ===

Exploration is one of the main ways of growing in Utopia, and building Mills will help you to send out expeditions at cheaper cost. Furthermore, Mills will also improve your builders skills, making building construction slightly less expensive.

* Decreases Building Costs by % * 4 (Max of 100%)
* Reduces exploration gold expenses by % * 3
* Reduces exploration soldier cost by % * 2

=== Banks ===

Banks are one of the major sources of income in Utopia along with tax collection. Every day, each Bank you own will produce some gold. Furthermore, your Banks all work together at improving your tax collection facilities, increasing further your global income.

* Generates 25gc per day
* Increases Income by % * 1.5

=== Training Grounds ===

Maintaining a good offense is important for all attackers, and Training Grounds bolster that by providing an enhanced training to all your offensive troops. This allows them to fight more efficiently in combat, thus increasing your overall attacking power.

* Increases Offensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5
* Training Time reduced by % * 1

=== Armouries ===

Armouries improve your military training process, allowing you to train your soldiers to advanced levels at a cheaper cost. Armouries also facilitate your peasant enrolment process and diminish your military maintenance costs.

* Decreases Draft Costs by % * 2
* Decreases Daily Wages by % * 2
* Decreases Military Training Costs by % * 1.5

=== Military Barracks ===

Military Barracks are another military-oriented building. The employees of the Barracks are in charge of your military logistics, and a well-equipped army will reach the enemy land faster, making yourself less vulnerable to attacks while your troops are out on a campaign.

* Lowers Attack Time by % * 1.5
* Reduced Mercenary costs by % * 2

=== Forts ===

Forts provide a superior protection to the troops held in garrison in your province, increasing your overall defensive strength against attacks. Maintaining a good defense is important if you want to keep your acres and resources safe.

* Increases Defensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5

=== Castles ===

Unlike Forts, Castles will not make you less vulnerable to attacks. Nevertheless, they will effectively protect your land, resources and honor, making the enemy’s attacks against your province less efficient.

* Decreases Resource (Land, Gold, Food, Runes) Losses when Attacked by % * 2
* Decreases Honor Losses when Attacked by % * 2

=== Hospitals ===

Having a good military power is important, and keeping your soldiers healthy is vital in order to achieve this. By deploying Hospitals in the battlefields, you will significantly lower the casualties suffered by your troops in combat. Furthermore, your medics will work at curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]] if your province ever catches it.

* Decreases Military Casualties by % * 3
* % * 3 Daily Chance of Curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]]
* % * 2 Increased Birth Rate

=== Guilds ===

Unlike all your other units, either the military footmen or the thieves, wizards are not trained by using gold. Your ascendant wizards will have to go through intensive studies in Guilds before being able to serve you properly. They are an absolute necessity for Mages.

* Trains 0.02 Wizards per Tick (2% stacking chance to train a Wizard per Guild)
* Determines and Increases Spell Duration (capped at 20% Guilds)
* Increases Self Spell and Ritual success chance

Guilds also increase the duration of your Self and Offensive Spells.<br>
Guilds are unaffected by BE (Building Efficiency) for the purposes of calculating Spell Duration or Wizards trained.

=== Towers ===

Towers are massive buildings that are used in order to channel mystic energies produced by the Earth into small stones called runes. Runes are then expended by your wizards while casting magic spells.

* Produces 12 Runes Per Day

=== Thieves Dens ===

Thieves Dens are the lair of all the thieves in your province, serving as the place where they practice their obscure and dark skills. Thieves Dens will increase the success rate of thievery operations you conduct as well as lowering your thief losses. Thieves Dens are a must for all Thieves.

* Lowers Losses in Thievery Operations by % * 3.6 (capped at 90%)
* Increases Thievery Effectiveness by % * 3

=== Watch Towers ===

While your own thieves can protect your land against enemy thieves, a little extra protection is never a bad thing. People assigned into Watch Towers will screen your borders and can catch thieves attempting to conduct operations in your province.

* % * 2.0 Chance of Catching Enemy Thieves
* Reduces damage caused by Enemy Thieves by % * 2.5

=== Universities ===

Universities increase your scientist generation rate and allow your scientists to produce books more effectively.

* Increase spawn rate of new scientists by % * 1.5
* % * 1 Higher Generation of Science Books
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Libraries ===

Libraries increase Science Efficiency.

* % * 1 Higher Science Efficiency
* Not affected by Building Efficiency

=== Stables ===

Stables are the buildings where your peasants breed your war horses, strong horses sent in combat and increasing the offensive strength of the troop mounting them. Nevertheless, horses do not participate in defense, and you obviously cannot send more horses in combat than you have actual troops!

* Produces 2 Horses Per Day
* Holds 80 Horses

=== Dungeons ===

Prisoners caught in combat are held captive in your dungeons. A dungeon can only hold a limited number of prisoners.

While imprisoned, prisoners will be assigned to province duties, providing you some extra gold. For more detailed information on how much gold they generate, please go to [[Economy]] for the income formula or go to [[Military]] for an additional definition of Prisoners.

Deserting troops will fill dungeons first, if any space is available, before being completely lost.

* Houses 30 Prisoners of War

== Retired buildings ==
* Shipyards: 1.5% chance of creating a boat, holds 5 boats per shipyard. 1 boat was needed per 100 troops sent to attack someone on another island.
* Taverns: Lowered Draft costs and Mercenary costs.
* Plazas: Employed extra Peasants.
* Strongholds: Increased OME (now Training Grounds).
* Mines: Produced a certain number of gold per acre.
* Schools: Increase production of Science Books.
* Laboratories: Increase scientist spawn rate.
* Guard Stations: Decreases Land and Resource Losses when Attacked by % * 2

==Construction==
===Construction Time===

Note that construction speed is rounded at .5 That means if the build time is 15.49, then it is rounded down to 15. If it is 15.5, it will be rounded up to 16. For a double speed build, assuming normal construction is 15.49, the speed build time will be 15.49/2 = 7.745 = rounded up to 8 hours. For 14.9 though, it will be 14.9/2 = 7.45 = rounded down to 7 hours.

[[Military#Understanding_Attacks|Attacking]] another kingdom affects the relations between the two kingdoms.

By continually attacking, your kingdom's conflict level against the opposing kingdom will the hostile meter, thereby changing the relation type; first from '''Normal''' to '''Unfriendly''', and then '''Hostile'''.

There are five relation types, each of which have various benefits and penalties.
* Note: The hostile relations decay after 96h without war <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>

= Relation Types =
Each kingdom will have differing relations amongst one another in the world of Utopia. How these relations evolve (or fall apart) will be dependent on the history, conflict level, and diplomatic abilities of the Monarchs and their Stewards. You can see your relation with any given kingdom by viewing their respective [[Kingdom]] page. It is indicated as such:

**Honor Gains: -25%
**Attack Time: +20% <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

This is the default relation between all kingdoms from the start of the [[Age]]. '''Normal''' relations will resume after a '''War''' or '''Ceasefire''' ends.

== Unfriendly <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Unfriendly'' is the first elevated stage of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, granting access to additional hostile actions.

When the [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]] reaches '''15 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance changes to '''Unfriendly''' toward the target kingdom. This unlocks stronger offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]].

== Hostile <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Hostile'' is the second level of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, marking a major escalation in aggression.

When the [[Hostile Meter]] reaches '''30 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance becomes '''Hostile''' toward the target kingdom. Dropping below this threshold returns relations to '''Unfriendly'''. Hostile status unlocks powerful offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]], including [[Mystics#Meteor_Showers|Meteor Showers]], and reduces mana and stealth costs for hostile actions to **2%**.

=== Summary ===
Hostile relations represent a significant step toward open conflict, offering access to devastating hostile operations and spells. This stage is often a precursor to full-scale War.

== Ceasefire ==
==== Agreed Ceasefire ====
Also known as a '''Non Aggression Pact''' (as seen on the opposing kingdom page and when targeting with spells/ops).
* Prohibits any [[Attacking & Defending|Attacks]], Spells, or Ops between opposing kingdoms
* Annuls [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]]
* Minimum duration of 1 [[Utopia Time| Utopian Month]]
* Can be enforced for a max of 3 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Years]]

Both Monarchs and Stewards can send, accept, and break Ceasefires. Once accepted, the Ceasefire agreement cannot be broken for the next 24 hours, though the Monarch or Steward can choose to extend this date no further than 3 weeks.<br> While a Ceasefire is in effect, no hostile actions will be allowed between the two Kingdoms.

==== Forced Ceasefire ====
Defensive Force Ceasefire reintroduced with the following changes:
* DFCF becomes available when all of the following are met:
** The kingdom is 45 points (in-range) or 30 points (out-of-range) below the aggressor on the hostility meter
** The aggressor has not been given Hostile status
** No attacks have been made against the aggressor for 3 ticks
** The kingdom is lower in both Land and Networth than the aggressor
** '''Cannot FCF until 3 ticks of Hostile have occurred''' <sup> NEW* </sup>
* DFCF will incur a penalty if within War Range of the aggressor (15% NW or Land)
** Penalty will be a loss of 1.75% Honor and 1.75% Science.
** There is no penalty incurred for DCFC if out of War Range of the aggressor
** Penalty will have a warning popup, as to not be done accidentally
* DFCFd duration will be for 48 hours before it can be cancelled by either kingdom
<br><br>
Hostile meter will now decay after 48 hours of going hostile, decay rate will ramp with meter points





[[Relations#End-of-War_Ceasefire|End-of-War Ceasefire]] has slightly different effects and conditions.

== War ==
War begins when a kingdom ''declares War'' on a Hostile kingdom '''OR''' if the maximum hostility level is reached by both Kingdoms.

In order to declare War, a Kingdom must:
* have received Attacks from at least three unique provinces on either side (except if Monarch/Stewards grant Hostile Operations)
* be in Range (more than 85% and less than 117.64% of its Net Worth or Land when declaring up, but must be in range for BOTH LAND and NET WORTH when declaring down.)<sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>
* be ''at least'' '''Unfriendly''' with the opposing Kingdom, '''AND''' that Kingdom must be '''Hostile''' with your Kingdom

''In instances where both kingdoms are '''Hostile''', the Kingdom with fewer meter points will receive the [[Relations#Starting_a_War|"button"]] and be able to declare while. When 60 points are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare''

''If 180 points are reached by both Kingdoms, War automatically starts.''

Wars last a minimum of 2 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Months]] (48 hours) after declaration.

A Kingdom can only War one other Kingdom at a time.

Honor and Land gains are higher in War than out of War.

=== Immediate Effects ===
* War overrides relations with all other kingdoms. Upon leaving War, '''Normal''' relations will resume. While in War, there is a decay of two hostility points per [[Time_in_Utopia|Utopian Month]] or 1/5th of the Meter, whichever is greater.
* Provinces created in War will be in [[Protection]] for 72 days and start with zero soldiers and zero credits.

=== After 24 Hours ===
{{H3|Benefits}}
*-80% Gains, Military Casualties and Effectiveness for Spells and Operations to and from other Kingdoms (this fades in from War start)

=== Fake War ===
Any informal or formal agreements made between kingdoms in regards to warring must abide by the Code of Conduct. Violations may cause the war to be deemed a Fake War. Fake Wars are subject to actions by the game operators. As the determination for a Fake War is made on a case-by-case basis by the game operators, the exact punishment may vary.

Ways a War can be faked (Please note, this is just an idea and not a comprehensive list):
*Requesting specific people be targeted by opposing Kingdom or accepting to action a request from the opposing Monarch
*Non-aggression pact during War of any duration and at any time
*Attempts to manipulate War-Win rankings using friends to initiate multiple Wars
*Agreement to trading Acres for a War Win
*"Ending" a war before minimum war duration

Punishments may include (Again, not a comprehensive list):
*Removal from the End of Age rankings for both kingdoms
*Deletion and temporary ban of players making the agreement
*Removal of war wins
*Monarchs of both Kingdoms deleted
*Removal of any gains of the Fake War from all Kingdom members (even if they were unaware of the Fake War)

=== Province Creation ===
Provinces created/reset during War will start without Soldiers, Military & Building Credits.

= Starting a War =
Once the '''Hostile''' relation status has been reached by one kingdom, the Monarch of the least hostile Kingdom will receive the option to Declare War as long as their own relations with that Kingdom are at a minimum of '''Unfriendly'''. This "War Button" appears on the Relations Page under the War tab. If both kingdoms have reached '''Hostile''' relations status, the kingdom with fewer points (while under 60 points) will have a "Declare War" button. When both kingdoms reach 60 points, the button will be available to both. Once the button is pressed certain effects are immediately applied; others slowly take effect, rising to their maximum potential over a 24 hour period.

= Ending a War =
Only the Kingdom's Monarch (or Steward) is able to end a war. This is accomplished in one of two ways: Mutual Peace or Withdrawal. Either choice results in an end-of-war ceasefire.

=== Mutual Peace ===
This option requires consent by both parties and simply settles the war with no winner. This is an excellent option when both kingdoms simply lose interest in the war or find it more beneficial to simply move on.

''Both kingdoms receive:''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional land to each province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production
* 1 additional War Score point

=== Withdrawal ===
Once the Minimum Time limit is reached (48 Ticks), either Kingdom can Withdraw from War. Withdrawals can occur if the Withdrawing Kingdom has not committed any Attacks within the past 2 Ticks.

War will also automatically end (a Kingdom will automatically Withdraw) if their Net Worth drops below 66% of the opponent's Net Worth on the first Tick this condition is satisfied. This will only occur after a minimum of 48 Ticks.

''The Withdrawing Kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production

''The Withdrawing Kingdom incurs the following '''penalties''':''

* 5% of the Kingdom's Land will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom
* 5% of the Kingdom's Honor will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom

=== Victory ===
A Kingdom is victorious when its opponent withdraws from War. This is also called Surrendering. A Kingdom can only Withdraw if it makes no Attacks for 2 consecutive Ticks. It can then Withdraw on the 3rd Tick. Dragons, Aid, Thievery Operations and Magic Spells do not affect a Kingdom's ability to Withdraw.


''After War, the winning kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of Median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 36 ticks of Production
* +50% advancement towards the next Scientist
* Land bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, subtracted from each Province then transferred and distributed evenly
* Land bonus equal to 10% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, distributed prioritizing smallest Provinces in the Winning Kingdom
* Honor bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Honor at the end of the War (subtracted from each province then transferred and distributed evenly), plus 200 Honor per Province
* Recognition on Kingdom Page based on the number of Wars achieved
* 2 additional War Score points
* War rewards are scaled by Kingdom's province count at the beginning of war.

'''Note:'''<br>
* Each additional War Win achieved will increase War Win bonuses (that are not transferred) by 5%, capped at 50% larger than baseline bonus.<br>
* War Win bonus will incur a 5% stacking penalty for each Province below 25, calculated at War start - max 25% reduction.
* At the conclusion of the age, Kingdoms will be awarded bonus War Score points for every Kingdom that they defeated in War, based on the defeated Kingdoms' total War Wins (if any). An additional provision of points will be granted for every Kingdom warred but not defeated, based on the total War Wins of those Kingdoms (if any), a Mutual peace counts as a loss in this instance.
* War Score will incur a 4% stacking penalty for each missing Province below maximum, calculated for each individual War, this penalty carries over to EoA adjustment, full points only awarded full Kingdoms.
* Defeating a kingdom 10% bigger in Net Worth at declaration awards the victor with an additional 30% Honor and 10% Science Books

=== End-of-War Ceasefire ===
After a War ends, neither Kingdom may have any Relations for an [[Utopia Time|Utopian Month]] and are automatically placed in a 24 hour End-of-War Ceasefire. During the ceasefire both Kingdoms remain in War relations, thus retaining the protection benefits while rebuilding. After 24 hours, the Kingdoms have the choice either to end the Ceasefire or to wait up to an additional 72 hours (96 hours total). This choice is independent of the other Kingdom.

''During this ceasefire, both sides benefit from:''

* Building Efficiency automatically restored to 100% if below 100%
* All Land currently out with armies at War end returns home immediately
* All Military Units currently out on Attacks against the War opponent return home immediately
* Negative Spell effects and Riots are removed
* Any Provinces affected by Plague it removed instantly
* Instant Population growth of 20% of maximum if you are under 50% of your maximum Population
* +1000% Birth Rate (minimum 500) for the first 24 Ticks
* Explore penalty reduced to 300% and explore time reduced by 50% for Provinces below Kingdom Median (including incoming explored Acres)
* Access to Paradise spell
* Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering EoWCF

'''Note:'''
* All Credits (Specialist or Building) will be lost upon exit of End of War Ceasefire
* Learn and Amnesia will return books over 48hrs, even if war ends.

= Out-Of-Range War Benefits =
There are no benefits for a War that was conducted outside of War Range (85%-117.64%). Neither winner or loser will gain Training or Building Credits and their Land and Troops will not instantly return (they will return at normal time).

= War Forum =
Shortly after declaring War, a temporary Forum is created. This is known as the War Forum.

In the War Forum Provinces from either Kingdom can interact by starting new threads or posting in existing ones.

Provinces are expected to interact respectfully and obey the Code of Conduct. Any offending material can be removed by either Kingdom's Monarch or Steward.

=Changelog=

*War Recovery
**In CF, +200% increase in birth rates (from +50%)
**Extending post war CF to 48 hours, monarch can opt out of the CF at any point after 24 hours have passed (each monarch can decide on his own - both kingdoms don't have to stay)
[[Age 51]]
*The End Of War Ceasefire period is extended to 72 hours but can now be exited after 12 hours with no daily honor loss in war
[[Age 52]]
*End of War Ceasefire period can be extended up to 4 days
[[Age 54]]
*The war declaration range for kingdoms will be changed to 25% smaller or 33% larger
*War will end automatically if your opponents networth drops to 50% of yours. This will only occur after a minimum of 7 days of warring and is calculated on tick.
*A war ending will grant, for both kds:
**All land currently out with armies at war end returns home immediately.
**Instant population growth of 20% of your max pop if you are under 50% of your max pop
**+500% Birthrate
**30% reduction in training costs of all troops.
**Draft cost reduced 50%
*Winning a war will grant the following:
**+10% honor taken from the opponents honor pool
**100 books of science per acre based on your median province
**3 times your median provinces acres in spec credits
**Free building credits to the total of your current unbuilt acres
[[Age 55]]
*Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.
*The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
*Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
*Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
[[Age 56]]
*Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.
[[Age 57]]
*In War the minimum gains will be reduced by 50%
[[Age 64]]
*War wins
**Acre reward capped at 20k
**Selecting land as a bonus will also result in a smaller honor bonus and vice versa.
[[Age 67]]
*50 books per acre of science (based on median province size) granted to both kingdoms
*An additional 150 BPA added to the winner
*Wizard training doubled in end of war ceasefire
[[Age 68]]
*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.
*End of War ceasefire: Maximum time reduced to 72 hours. Double wizards removed.
*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.
[[Age 71]]
*The War Win bonus choice of 'Land' or 'Honor' will be removed. All War Wins will yield a single bonus, which will be an increased amount of both Land and Honor. Similar to the minimum land bonus, a minimum honor bonus will also be added.
*Immediately upon entering End of War Cease-Fire any provinces affected by plague will have it removed instantly.
*Additionally, upon entering End of War Cease-Fire, the losing kingdom will receive 50% of their land as free building credits, while the winning kingdom will receive 150% of their land as free building credits. We would like to stimulate the ability for both kingdoms to recover from war such that both the losing kingdom has a better chance at coming out of war recovered and ready to fight again and more importantly, the winning kingdom has an opportunity to defend their land better upon exiting war.
[[Age 72]]
*WW Chart Chains - In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdoms, we have altered the formula to provide additional WW points (scaling from the current if the kingdom you war is outside of the top 50 for land, honor, NW, and warwins) to double the current points.
*WW Bonus - Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdompage based on the number of WW points they achieve. Each additional 'tier' that they obtain will also increase their WW bonus -- land, honor, credits, etc -- by 10%. This is capped at a WW bonus that is 50% larger than the baseline bonus.
*Finally the WW bonus will scale with kingdom size under 20 provinces to reduce the potential for abuse with kingdoms that remain intentionally small in the number of provinces.
*The War Win bonus will also include a provision of additional land to every province's individual explore pool in both kingdoms, this is mainly aimed at helping provinces that are destroyed in war to have a chance to grow back to a functional size.
*WAR - Exploration during eowcf will have reduced cost penalties (from 500% to 250% of normal cost).
*Propose War - Kingdoms will have the diplomatic option to Propose War to enemies in range and start war instantly instead of via attacks
[[Age73]]
*Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
*War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
[[Age 74]]
*Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.
*War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
*EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
*Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
[[Age 75]]
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
*War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
*War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
*Force Cease-Fire - There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
**The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
**The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
**The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
**If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
**The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
**There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
[[Age 76]]
*During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
[[Age 77]]
*The 10% reduced attack time granted instantly on War Declare will be removed
*Attack speed reduction from war will slide in up to -25% over 12 ticks
[[Age 78]]
*Auto Cease-Fire - The mechanic that allows a smaller Kingdom to automatically enter into a 7 day cease-fire with a larger Kingdom that has a large meter disparity will be removed
*War
**The amount of unique provinces required to attack from each Kingdom will be increased from 2 to 3 in order to declare war
**MAP reduction from War will be reduced by ~25%, this means that gains on a province with max MAP will be lower than they currently are
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Population growth will be increase from +500% to +1000%
**There will be a minimum peasant growth per tick of 500
[[Age 79]]
*There will remain a requirement of at least 3 provinces within a Kingdom to perform operations on the opposing Kingdom for War to be declared
*An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
*To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
*A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
**a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;
**b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
**c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender
**d) Aggressor has been Hostile with defender for at least 3 ticks.
*If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
*War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
*If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Birth Rate will be increased by current effects only for the first 36 hours
**Troop/Thief cost reduction will be removed
**All credits (Specialist/Build) will be lost upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire
**A small amount of science will be awarded to the winner
[[Age 81]]
*War
**War Range is now, low end 85% up to ~117.64% (1 / .85)
**Auto Surrender will be possible after 5 days of war instead of 7 when opponent is 50% or less networth
**Learn attack effects while in war will be increased from 4% to 8%
**Out of range wars will yield war points based on relative size at the war start and scale accordingly, for example:
**Example: 84.9% range = 100% points
***80% range = 85% points
***75% range = 65% points
***65% range = 20% points
***< 65% range = 0 points
*Force Cease-Fire
**If you are in war range (85-117.64%) when activating a Forced Cease-Fire your Kingdom will lose up to 3% honor at 95%+ and scale linearly to 1.5% at the bottom of the range (85%)
**This honor will be lost by the Kingdom pressing Force CF, it will not be transferred to the opponent Kingdom
[[Age 82]]
*War
**War declare range is now: (X * .85) to (X / .85)
**War win acre minimum bonus will be reduced to 2500 acres (from 4000)
*Force Cease-Fire
**Only kingdoms under 85% size can force CF with an aggressor (same requirements for time and attacks remain)
**Aggressor kingdoms can force CF after 24 hours of no attacks in kingdom news

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

Relations

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a81

[[Military#Understanding_Attacks|Attacking]] another kingdom affects the relations between the two kingdoms.

By continually attacking, your kingdom's conflict level against the opposing kingdom will the hostile meter, thereby changing the relation type; first from '''Normal''' to '''Unfriendly''', and then '''Hostile'''.

There are five relation types, each of which have various benefits and penalties.
* Note: The hostile relations decay after 96h without war <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>

= Relation Types =
Each kingdom will have differing relations amongst one another in the world of Utopia. How these relations evolve (or fall apart) will be dependent on the history, conflict level, and diplomatic abilities of the Monarchs and their Stewards. You can see your relation with any given kingdom by viewing their respective [[Kingdom]] page. It is indicated as such:
<div class="formula-box">
Their Attitude Towards Us : XX<br>
Our Attitude Towards Them : YY<br>
</div>

== Normal ==
*No effects, except:
*When out of war <sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>, targeting a kingdom that is less than 85% your Land and Net Worth, the following penalties apply:
**Battle Gains: -10%
**Military Casualties: +10%
**Honor Gains: -25%
**Attack Time: +20% <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

This is the default relation between all kingdoms from the start of the [[Age]]. '''Normal''' relations will resume after a '''War''' or '''Ceasefire''' ends.

== Unfriendly <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Unfriendly'' is the first elevated stage of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, granting access to additional hostile actions.

When the [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]] reaches '''15 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance changes to '''Unfriendly''' toward the target kingdom. This unlocks stronger offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]].

=== Effects ===

|}

== Hostile <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Hostile'' is the second level of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, marking a major escalation in aggression.

When the [[Hostile Meter]] reaches '''30 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance becomes '''Hostile''' toward the target kingdom. Dropping below this threshold returns relations to '''Unfriendly'''. Hostile status unlocks powerful offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]], including [[Mystics#Meteor_Showers|Meteor Showers]], and reduces mana and stealth costs for hostile actions to **2%**.

=== Summary ===
Hostile relations represent a significant step toward open conflict, offering access to devastating hostile operations and spells. This stage is often a precursor to full-scale War.

== Ceasefire ==
==== Agreed Ceasefire ====
Also known as a '''Non Aggression Pact''' (as seen on the opposing kingdom page and when targeting with spells/ops).
* Prohibits any [[Attacking & Defending|Attacks]], Spells, or Ops between opposing kingdoms
* Annuls [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]]
* Minimum duration of 1 [[Utopia Time| Utopian Month]]
* Can be enforced for a max of 3 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Years]]

Both Monarchs and Stewards can send, accept, and break Ceasefires. Once accepted, the Ceasefire agreement cannot be broken for the next 24 hours, though the Monarch or Steward can choose to extend this date no further than 3 weeks.<br> While a Ceasefire is in effect, no hostile actions will be allowed between the two Kingdoms.

==== Forced Ceasefire ====
Defensive Force Ceasefire reintroduced with the following changes:
* DFCF becomes available when all of the following are met:
** The kingdom is 45 points (in-range) or 30 points (out-of-range) below the aggressor on the hostility meter
** The aggressor has not been given Hostile status
** No attacks have been made against the aggressor for 3 ticks
** The kingdom is lower in both Land and Networth than the aggressor
** '''Cannot FCF until 3 ticks of Hostile have occurred''' <sup> NEW* </sup>
* DFCF will incur a penalty if within War Range of the aggressor (15% NW or Land)
** Penalty will be a loss of 1.75% Honor and 1.75% Science.
** There is no penalty incurred for DCFC if out of War Range of the aggressor
** Penalty will have a warning popup, as to not be done accidentally
* DFCFd duration will be for 48 hours before it can be cancelled by either kingdom
<br><br>
Hostile meter will now decay after 48 hours of going hostile, decay rate will ramp with meter points





[[Relations#End-of-War_Ceasefire|End-of-War Ceasefire]] has slightly different effects and conditions.

== War ==
War begins when a kingdom ''declares War'' on a Hostile kingdom '''OR''' if the maximum hostility level is reached by both Kingdoms.

In order to declare War, a Kingdom must:
* have received Attacks from at least three unique provinces on either side (except if Monarch/Stewards grant Hostile Operations)
* be in Range (more than 85% and less than 117.64% of its Net Worth or Land when declaring up, but must be in range for BOTH LAND and NET WORTH when declaring down.)<sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>
* be ''at least'' '''Unfriendly''' with the opposing Kingdom, '''AND''' that Kingdom must be '''Hostile''' with your Kingdom

''In instances where both kingdoms are '''Hostile''', the Kingdom with fewer meter points will receive the [[Relations#Starting_a_War|"button"]] and be able to declare while. When 60 points are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare''

''If 180 points are reached by both Kingdoms, War automatically starts.''

Wars last a minimum of 2 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Months]] (48 hours) after declaration.

A Kingdom can only War one other Kingdom at a time.

Honor and Land gains are higher in War than out of War.

=== Immediate Effects ===
* War overrides relations with all other kingdoms. Upon leaving War, '''Normal''' relations will resume. While in War, there is a decay of two hostility points per [[Time_in_Utopia|Utopian Month]] or 1/5th of the Meter, whichever is greater.
* Provinces created in War will be in [[Protection]] for 72 days and start with zero soldiers and zero credits.

{{H3|Benefits}}
*-15% Attack Time

=== After 24 Hours ===
{{H3|Benefits}}
*-80% Gains, Military Casualties and Effectiveness for Spells and Operations to and from other Kingdoms (this fades in from War start)

=== Fake War ===
Any informal or formal agreements made between kingdoms in regards to warring must abide by the Code of Conduct. Violations may cause the war to be deemed a Fake War. Fake Wars are subject to actions by the game operators. As the determination for a Fake War is made on a case-by-case basis by the game operators, the exact punishment may vary.

Ways a War can be faked (Please note, this is just an idea and not a comprehensive list):
*Requesting specific people be targeted by opposing Kingdom or accepting to action a request from the opposing Monarch
*Non-aggression pact during War of any duration and at any time
*Attempts to manipulate War-Win rankings using friends to initiate multiple Wars
*Agreement to trading Acres for a War Win
*"Ending" a war before minimum war duration

Punishments may include (Again, not a comprehensive list):
*Removal from the End of Age rankings for both kingdoms
*Deletion and temporary ban of players making the agreement
*Removal of war wins
*Monarchs of both Kingdoms deleted
*Removal of any gains of the Fake War from all Kingdom members (even if they were unaware of the Fake War)

=== Province Creation ===
Provinces created/reset during War will start without Soldiers, Military & Building Credits.

= Starting a War =
Once the '''Hostile''' relation status has been reached by one kingdom, the Monarch of the least hostile Kingdom will receive the option to Declare War as long as their own relations with that Kingdom are at a minimum of '''Unfriendly'''. This "War Button" appears on the Relations Page under the War tab. If both kingdoms have reached '''Hostile''' relations status, the kingdom with fewer points (while under 60 points) will have a "Declare War" button. When both kingdoms reach 60 points, the button will be available to both. Once the button is pressed certain effects are immediately applied; others slowly take effect, rising to their maximum potential over a 24 hour period.

= Ending a War =
Only the Kingdom's Monarch (or Steward) is able to end a war. This is accomplished in one of two ways: Mutual Peace or Withdrawal. Either choice results in an end-of-war ceasefire.

=== Mutual Peace ===
This option requires consent by both parties and simply settles the war with no winner. This is an excellent option when both kingdoms simply lose interest in the war or find it more beneficial to simply move on.

''Both kingdoms receive:''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional land to each province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production
* 1 additional War Score point

=== Withdrawal ===
Once the Minimum Time limit is reached (48 Ticks), either Kingdom can Withdraw from War. Withdrawals can occur if the Withdrawing Kingdom has not committed any Attacks within the past 2 Ticks.

War will also automatically end (a Kingdom will automatically Withdraw) if their Net Worth drops below 66% of the opponent's Net Worth on the first Tick this condition is satisfied. This will only occur after a minimum of 48 Ticks.

''The Withdrawing Kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production

''The Withdrawing Kingdom incurs the following '''penalties''':''

* 5% of the Kingdom's Land will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom
* 5% of the Kingdom's Honor will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom

=== Victory ===
A Kingdom is victorious when its opponent withdraws from War. This is also called Surrendering. A Kingdom can only Withdraw if it makes no Attacks for 2 consecutive Ticks. It can then Withdraw on the 3rd Tick. Dragons, Aid, Thievery Operations and Magic Spells do not affect a Kingdom's ability to Withdraw.


''After War, the winning kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of Median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 36 ticks of Production
* +50% advancement towards the next Scientist
* Land bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, subtracted from each Province then transferred and distributed evenly
* Land bonus equal to 10% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, distributed prioritizing smallest Provinces in the Winning Kingdom
* Honor bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Honor at the end of the War (subtracted from each province then transferred and distributed evenly), plus 200 Honor per Province
* Recognition on Kingdom Page based on the number of Wars achieved
* 2 additional War Score points
* War rewards are scaled by Kingdom's province count at the beginning of war.

'''Note:'''<br>
* Each additional War Win achieved will increase War Win bonuses (that are not transferred) by 5%, capped at 50% larger than baseline bonus.<br>
* War Win bonus will incur a 5% stacking penalty for each Province below 25, calculated at War start - max 25% reduction.
* At the conclusion of the age, Kingdoms will be awarded bonus War Score points for every Kingdom that they defeated in War, based on the defeated Kingdoms' total War Wins (if any). An additional provision of points will be granted for every Kingdom warred but not defeated, based on the total War Wins of those Kingdoms (if any), a Mutual peace counts as a loss in this instance.
* War Score will incur a 4% stacking penalty for each missing Province below maximum, calculated for each individual War, this penalty carries over to EoA adjustment, full points only awarded full Kingdoms.
* Defeating a kingdom 10% bigger in Net Worth at declaration awards the victor with an additional 30% Honor and 10% Science Books

=== End-of-War Ceasefire ===
After a War ends, neither Kingdom may have any Relations for an [[Utopia Time|Utopian Month]] and are automatically placed in a 24 hour End-of-War Ceasefire. During the ceasefire both Kingdoms remain in War relations, thus retaining the protection benefits while rebuilding. After 24 hours, the Kingdoms have the choice either to end the Ceasefire or to wait up to an additional 72 hours (96 hours total). This choice is independent of the other Kingdom.

''During this ceasefire, both sides benefit from:''

* Building Efficiency automatically restored to 100% if below 100%
* All Land currently out with armies at War end returns home immediately
* All Military Units currently out on Attacks against the War opponent return home immediately
* Negative Spell effects and Riots are removed
* Any Provinces affected by Plague it removed instantly
* Instant Population growth of 20% of maximum if you are under 50% of your maximum Population
* +1000% Birth Rate (minimum 500) for the first 24 Ticks
* Explore penalty reduced to 300% and explore time reduced by 50% for Provinces below Kingdom Median (including incoming explored Acres)
* Access to Paradise spell
* Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering EoWCF

'''Note:'''
* All Credits (Specialist or Building) will be lost upon exit of End of War Ceasefire
* Learn and Amnesia will return books over 48hrs, even if war ends.

= Out-Of-Range War Benefits =
There are no benefits for a War that was conducted outside of War Range (85%-117.64%). Neither winner or loser will gain Training or Building Credits and their Land and Troops will not instantly return (they will return at normal time).

= War Forum =
Shortly after declaring War, a temporary Forum is created. This is known as the War Forum.

In the War Forum Provinces from either Kingdom can interact by starting new threads or posting in existing ones.

Provinces are expected to interact respectfully and obey the Code of Conduct. Any offending material can be removed by either Kingdom's Monarch or Steward.

*The End Of War Ceasefire period is extended to 72 hours but can now be exited after 12 hours with no daily honor loss in war
[[Age 52]]
*End of War Ceasefire period can be extended up to 4 days
[[Age 54]]
*The war declaration range for kingdoms will be changed to 25% smaller or 33% larger
*War will end automatically if your opponents networth drops to 50% of yours. This will only occur after a minimum of 7 days of warring and is calculated on tick.
*A war ending will grant, for both kds:
**All land currently out with armies at war end returns home immediately.
**Instant population growth of 20% of your max pop if you are under 50% of your max pop
**+500% Birthrate
**30% reduction in training costs of all troops.
**Draft cost reduced 50%
*Winning a war will grant the following:
**+10% honor taken from the opponents honor pool
**100 books of science per acre based on your median province
**3 times your median provinces acres in spec credits
**Free building credits to the total of your current unbuilt acres
[[Age 55]]
*Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.
*The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
*Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
*Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
[[Age 56]]
*Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.
[[Age 57]]
*In War the minimum gains will be reduced by 50%
[[Age 64]]
*War wins
**Acre reward capped at 20k
**Selecting land as a bonus will also result in a smaller honor bonus and vice versa.
[[Age 67]]
*50 books per acre of science (based on median province size) granted to both kingdoms
*An additional 150 BPA added to the winner
*Wizard training doubled in end of war ceasefire
[[Age 68]]
*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.
*End of War ceasefire: Maximum time reduced to 72 hours. Double wizards removed.
*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.
[[Age 71]]
*The War Win bonus choice of 'Land' or 'Honor' will be removed. All War Wins will yield a single bonus, which will be an increased amount of both Land and Honor. Similar to the minimum land bonus, a minimum honor bonus will also be added.
*Immediately upon entering End of War Cease-Fire any provinces affected by plague will have it removed instantly.
*Additionally, upon entering End of War Cease-Fire, the losing kingdom will receive 50% of their land as free building credits, while the winning kingdom will receive 150% of their land as free building credits. We would like to stimulate the ability for both kingdoms to recover from war such that both the losing kingdom has a better chance at coming out of war recovered and ready to fight again and more importantly, the winning kingdom has an opportunity to defend their land better upon exiting war.
[[Age 72]]
*WW Chart Chains - In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdoms, we have altered the formula to provide additional WW points (scaling from the current if the kingdom you war is outside of the top 50 for land, honor, NW, and warwins) to double the current points.
*WW Bonus - Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdompage based on the number of WW points they achieve. Each additional 'tier' that they obtain will also increase their WW bonus -- land, honor, credits, etc -- by 10%. This is capped at a WW bonus that is 50% larger than the baseline bonus.
*Finally the WW bonus will scale with kingdom size under 20 provinces to reduce the potential for abuse with kingdoms that remain intentionally small in the number of provinces.
*The War Win bonus will also include a provision of additional land to every province's individual explore pool in both kingdoms, this is mainly aimed at helping provinces that are destroyed in war to have a chance to grow back to a functional size.
*WAR - Exploration during eowcf will have reduced cost penalties (from 500% to 250% of normal cost).
*Propose War - Kingdoms will have the diplomatic option to Propose War to enemies in range and start war instantly instead of via attacks
[[Age73]]
*Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
*War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
[[Age 74]]
*Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.
*War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
*EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
*Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
[[Age 75]]
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
*War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
*War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
*Force Cease-Fire - There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
**The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
**The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
**The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
**If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
**The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
**There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
[[Age 76]]
*During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
[[Age 77]]
*The 10% reduced attack time granted instantly on War Declare will be removed
*Attack speed reduction from war will slide in up to -25% over 12 ticks
[[Age 78]]
*Auto Cease-Fire - The mechanic that allows a smaller Kingdom to automatically enter into a 7 day cease-fire with a larger Kingdom that has a large meter disparity will be removed
*War
**The amount of unique provinces required to attack from each Kingdom will be increased from 2 to 3 in order to declare war
**MAP reduction from War will be reduced by ~25%, this means that gains on a province with max MAP will be lower than they currently are
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Population growth will be increase from +500% to +1000%
**There will be a minimum peasant growth per tick of 500
[[Age 79]]
*There will remain a requirement of at least 3 provinces within a Kingdom to perform operations on the opposing Kingdom for War to be declared
*An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
*To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
*A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
**a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;
**b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
**c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender
**d) Aggressor has been Hostile with defender for at least 3 ticks.
*If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
*War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
*If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Birth Rate will be increased by current effects only for the first 36 hours
**Troop/Thief cost reduction will be removed
**All credits (Specialist/Build) will be lost upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire
**A small amount of science will be awarded to the winner
[[Age 81]]
*War
**War Range is now, low end 85% up to ~117.64% (1 / .85)
**Auto Surrender will be possible after 5 days of war instead of 7 when opponent is 50% or less networth
**Learn attack effects while in war will be increased from 4% to 8%
**Out of range wars will yield war points based on relative size at the war start and scale accordingly, for example:
**Example: 84.9% range = 100% points
***80% range = 85% points
***75% range = 65% points
***65% range = 20% points
***< 65% range = 0 points
*Force Cease-Fire
**If you are in war range (85-117.64%) when activating a Forced Cease-Fire your Kingdom will lose up to 3% honor at 95%+ and scale linearly to 1.5% at the bottom of the range (85%)
**This honor will be lost by the Kingdom pressing Force CF, it will not be transferred to the opponent Kingdom

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a80

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

== The Spell Book: Self Spells ==

Listed here is a short reference guide to each of the spells available that can be cast on yourself. Any restrictions on use will be listed under the name.

Almost all the spells that provide bonuses for certain activities (like speeding up building construction etc.) need to be cast before the activity is initiated / ordered to reap the benefits of the spell.

Overpopulation

2026-07-12T06:10:12Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a80

Welcome to the Overpopulation Wiki page! If you're here, you are already deep into the mechanics of the game.

Overpopulation occurs when your Total Population exceeds your Maximum Population. Population information can be viewed in your Affairs of the State page under:
* "Total" for current total population and
* "Max Population" for the maximum amount of population your province can hold.

Overpopulation is a mechanic often used in War. During war, heavily overpopulating a province by taking away a lot of its land can trigger effects that will limit a province's effectiveness. Below are some of the effects and triggers of Overpopulation:

=Effects and Triggers for Overpopulation=

Note that the below effects stack:

== Level 1: Population Exceeds Max Population (a.k.a Peasant Desertion) ==
When your current total population is larger than your max population, your peasants will leave and no new peasants will be born.

* Peasants leave at a rate of 10% of total peasants or the amount you are overpopulated by, whichever of the two is lower.
* The minimum number of peasants that will leave is 10.

== Level 2: Population exceeds Max Population by 15% (a.k.a. Military Desertion) ==
When your current total population is larger than you max population by 15%, everything in Level 1 will occur. In addition, your military shuts down, resulting in your army refusing to attack. Lastly, your troops, including thieves, will begin to desert. Troops both at home and out on an attack are affected by desertion.

* Desertions max at ~5.8% of total military population per tick (desertions do not start at 5.8%, they scale up to ~5.8% when extremely overpopulated).
* Desertions due to overpopulation will remove soldiers first, up to a maximum of 100% of the total desertions (as of Age 88).
* All troops, except soldiers (who follow a different rule), desert at approximately the same rate, regardless of whether they are at home or out on an attack. (i.e. same % of offensive specs, defensive specs, and elites will desert).
* Deserting troops are calculated one military pool at a time (offensive specs, defensive specs, elites). When you have soldiers, soldiers will replace as much of the overpopulation for a military as possible, one pool at a time, so it is possible for the deserting troop % of offensive specs, defensive specs, and elites to not be the equivalent.
* Deserting troops will fill dungeons first, if any space is available, before being completely lost.

== Level 3: Population exceeds Max Population by 30% (a.k.a. Rioting) ==
When your current total population is larger than you max population by 30%, everything in Level 1 & 2 will occur and in addition, your peasants will riot.

* Your income is reduced by 50%.

== Level 4: Population exceeds Max Population by 40% (a.k.a. Thieves on Strike) ==
When your current total population is larger than you max population by 40%, everything in Level 1, 2, & 3 will occur and in addition, your thieves will refuse to work.

* Cannot perform any Thievery Operations.

== Extra Effect: Military Population Exceeds Max Population (a.k.a Military on Strike) ==
When your current military population is larger than you max population, your army will refuse to attack. This mechanic is separate from the above levels.
(i.e. a province that has 10k max pop and 10.5k military will not be in desertions or have any other effect other than the military will refuse to attack, unless they are also above 15% overpop due to peasant+wizard count)

* Cannot use your army to attack.

==Changelog==
[[Age 78]]
*Desertions due to overpopulation will no longer remove soldiers first
*Desertions due to overpopulation will remove army home and away, as opposed to currently only removed army hme
*Desertions due to overpopulation will remove significantly less population per tick
[[Age 79]]
*Desertions due to overpopulation WILL remove soldiers first, up to a maximum of 50% of the total desertions
*Desertions due to overpopulation per tick will increase
[[Age 80]]
*Peasant desertions will increase (roughly +50%)
*The rate at which troops desert from armies away will be reduced by 25%

Revival: /* Change Log */ added a80

Sciences are the study of knowledge and create our pathway into the future. By studying the laws that govern our being and understanding the effects of these laws, we can strengthen ourselves in all that we do. The mystery of magic and thievery, our military prowess, even our methods of production can all be enhanced through the power of study with an investment in time devoted to those fields. The students of our province will lead us into the future with your careful direction.

Mastering the Arts & Sciences makes your people stronger, smarter, and more efficient. You can grow in strength without growing in size.

Details on the benefits of different sciences can be found below.

[[Age 62]]
*Gains science will be removed and replaced with a base military efficiency science bonus which will scale similarly to Population science.
[[Age 63]]
*Military Science: More points now required for the same effect
[[Age 64]]
*Extreme, Rushed, Intensive and Accelerated cost reduced
[[Age 69]]
* The new science system is introduced.
**Books of science and learning have been removed. You can no longer invest in science to create books, nor allocate them to different sciences. As a consequence, books no longer contribute to net worth, and book are no longer given as part of end of war bonuses.
**Instead of books, each province starts out with about 18 scientists, each of whom are are assigned to a random category of science, but which you can reassign at will. Every province has a chance of having a new scientists emerge on each game day, such that an average province will have about 80 - 120 by the end of the age, depending on mods. You will get a message in your province news whenever a new scientist emerges. Scientists do not take up population space.
**Each scientist makes an impact on the the science they are assigned to, such as + population or + food. The impact that each scientist makes mainly depends on their level: novice make a small impact, graduates make a larger impact and professors make double the impact of novices. The total impact of scientists is capped, depending on the science category. You would need about 120 professors to cap out every kind of science.
**Scientists skill up the longer you leave them assigned to the same science category, and drop back down to novice whenever you reassign them. It takes 72 game days (3 real days) to level up to graduate, and 168 game days (one real week) to reach professor. The number of game days required for each scientist to reach the next level is displayed on the science page.
**Scientists also make a contribution to net worth based on their skill level. Every game day of experience that your scientists have is valued at 2.6gc, meaning that 100 professors would contribute about 44K gc.
**Learns attacks are now replaced with Abduct attacks, which capture a number of random Scientists from your opponent. These scientists are captured intact with their experience, allocated science and name.
**The Amnesia spell has also been updated to make your opponent’s scientists lose a number of game days worth of experience. For some this will delay them reaching the next level, while it will effectively demote some others to the previous level.
**Fountain of Knowledge previously increased book production for a while. This spell is now gone, and is replaced by the Revelate spell. The revelate spell increases the probability of a new scientist emerging on each affected game day by 30% while it is cast.
**The Spy on Science op has been updated, and will steal a report on the total number of scientists assigned to each science type, along with their total effect (but you cannot steal specifics like how many professors there are).
**Libraries, used to create a bonus towards every science effect, including the science of tools, which in turn created a bonus on each land type except libraries, since that would mean that libraries and tools would have a circular effect on each other. **Libraries are now gone, along with the circular effect of libraries on other types of buildings. Knowledge of tools, which helps building efficiency, is governed solely by how many scientists you have allocated to it.
**A new building type, Laboratories, now helps generate more Scientists, increasing the probability that a new scientist will emerge on any given game day.
**Schools used to provide a home for books, having a dual effect of reducing the cost of producing books and protecting books from learn attacks. Schools are now gone. In their place are Universities, which provide refuge for Scientists from Abduction attacks.
**In short, laboratories help create scientists, while universities keep them safe from abduction and amnesia.
**The Sage personality previously had special advantages with books. Sages are still somewhat protected from learn attacks and enjoy sole access to the amnesia spell, but instead of their land spontaneously generating books, their scientists are 30% smarter. Instead of their books being protected from Learn attacks, their scientists have 50% reduced losses on Adbuct attacks. Also, instead of starting with more books, they start with 10% extra scientists.
**The Fortified stance previously had the effect of capping the research rate on books. This has now been changed. While in fortified, all scientific progress stops, as you have cut yourself off from the world. During fortified no new scientists will emerge, and your existing scientists will not progress in skill level.
[[Age 70]]
* Professors experience capped at 72 hours (a maxed-out professor will provide ~624gc Networth). Tools cap increased from 15% to 20%, housing and military cap from 10% to 15%, food from 100% to 200%, channeling from 100% to 125%. Additional scientist rank added: Recruit.
**Higher initial scientists
**Abduct rate boosted
**Spawn rate boosted
**Spawn rate increases each tick you do not get a scientist
**Laboratories boosted
**Revelate will double spawn rate
**Additional scientist rank Recruit- no effects, takes 6 hours to move up to Novice
**Professors will not accumulate experience past 72 hours
**Caps on some science categories modified along with impact of professors etc.
**Alchemy: 30%
**Tools: 20%
**Population: 15%
**Food: 200%
**Military: 15%
**Channeling: 125%
**Crime: 100%
**Magic sci will buff wizard production and wpa. Yes, this means it will not buff rune production.
[[Age 71]]
*Scientist Recruit rank reduced from 6 hours to 3 hours
*Scientist Spawn rate lowered slightly
*Food Science will now be Production Science, and it will increase both Food and Rune production
*Production Science maximum will be 120%, down from 200%
*Magic Science will no longer increase Wizard Production
*Approximately +50% Scientists will be required to reach maximum effects (We want there to be a strategic choice as to what science effects you have by reducing the spawn rate & increasing required scientists to reach max)
[[Age 72]]
*Scientists are generated on a flat ratio (7.5) similar to wizards instead of via RNG.
[[Age 73]]
*Science Caps - Science will no longer have a hard maximum for all categories. The purpose of this is to allow players more freedom to make your province unique and provide further bonuses to the areas you choose. Science will scale in a linear fashion similar to Age 72 up to the previously stated maximums as normal. Once this point is reached additional scientists will yield diminishing returns.
[[Age 74]]
*You can now choose which category your next scientist will spawn into (random is also an option)
*Scientist Experience will now show on your Science page and in the Spy on Sciences. This will allow for calculation of scientist networth to ultimately provide a method for determining wizard population. We feel that Wizards should have some mystery and require a bit of knowledge and pursuit to discover rather than have accurate information handed out in a single successful operation.
[[Age 75]]
*Scientist Max Networth will be adjusted
[[Age 76]]
*The number of scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories: 35.
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories at 35
[[Age 77]]
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories reduced from 35 to 30
*Scientist spawn rate will be increased by roughly 30%
*Scientist Networth will be reduced by roughly 35%
[[Age 78]]
*Science System
**Definition 'Category': A group of science types
**Definition 'Type': A specific kind of science that provides a bonus, i.e. Population Science
**Science effects will NOT be based on land size
**Science Types will be split into 3 major Categories (Economy, Warfare, Arcane Arts)
**Scientists will generate naturally, similar to the way they generate now, except much slower (Laboratories will increase scientist generation rate)
**Scientists will create books per tick
**Scientists get assigned to a Category (random or chosen)
**Scientists can progress in experience level which will increase book per tick generation
**Scientist experience will be based on how many books they have produced, not the amount of time they have been in a category
**Scientists can be re-assigned to a different category, but lose their experience (book / tick production will revert back to the starting level) similar to current system (there will be no Recruit period where they don't generate any books, they will generate books upon the first tick in whichever category they are in)
**Schools will increase book per tick generation, but will only increase production in a single Category, there will be a drop down menu to choose in which Category you want increased generation
**Books can be allocated to any science Type within the Category they have been produced
**Science effects will be diminishing returns starting from 0
**SoS will show unallocated books and total science effects / books / scientists (and level)
**Scientists will not have a networth value
**Books will have a networth value TBD (allocated and unallocated will be the same value)
**Allocated books will go into effect instantly, instead of learned over time, we refer to this as the hoyaah principle
*Science types are split into three categories:
**Economy:  
***Housing: Population bonus
***Tools: Building Efficiency bonus 
***Production: Rune & Food production bonus 
***Alchemy: Income bonus
***Bookkeeping: Wage reduction  
***Artisan: Construction time reduction
**Warfare:
***Siege: Attack gains bonus
***Tactics: Offensive Military Efficiency
***Valor: Military train time reduction & Dragon slaying bonus
***Heroism: Draft speed increase & draft cost reduction
***Strategy: Defensive Military Efficiency
**Arcane Arts:
***Crime: Thievery Effectiveness bonus (TPA)
***Sorcery: Wizard Effectiveness bonus (WPA)
***Shielding: Reduction of Enemy Thievery and Magic instant operation damage
***Invocation: Ritual cost reduction
***Cunning: Increase Damage of your Thievery and Magic instant operations
[[Age 79]]
*Scientists will generate faster
*Science effects will be adjusted
*Book generation rate will be reduced
*Artisan will include a reduced construction cost
*Inactive provinces will not produce books
[[Age 80]]
*Science effects will be adjusted (more detailed information will be provided in graphs)
*Book generation rate will be reduced
*Military Train Time science affects the train time reduction in an odd way and will be adjusted to be more intuitive

[[Age 115]]
*Resilience Multiplier decreased to 0.04401 from 0.0489
*Artisan Multiplier decreased to 0.04302 from 0.0478
*Finesse Multiplier decreased to 0.08685 from 0.0965

Dragons

2026-07-12T06:09:04Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a80

[[File:Age114 Dragons Title.png|center|link=]]
[[File:Age 115 Dragons Cards.jpeg|center|link=]]

'''Dragons''' are creatures that help to disrupt the target Kingdom.

[[Politics|Monarch]] and [[Politics|Stewards]] can choose which Dragon type and the target Kingdom.

When Dragon project is chosen and started, provinces can donate money and food for funding.

When the Dragon is sent to an opposing kingdom, it will wreak havoc on their lands. The Dragon will continue to do so for two full months (48 ticks) or until slain by the enemy kingdom's forces.

==<span style="color: #FFC300">Dragon's Behavior==


* Troops will slay a dragon at their respective strength. Every soldier sent will destroy strength in the amount of its offense. If a soldier is 3/0, it will cause 3 damage per soldier towards the slaying of the dragon. If your elite is 14/4, it will cause 14 damage per troop towards the slaying of the dragon (before slay modifiers). <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

* Troops sent to slay dragon are unaffected by any spells that increase unit damage, percent or flat rate increase such as [[Mystics#Bloodlust|Bloodlust]] or [[Mystics#Aggression|Aggression]]

* All provinces can boost their dragon slaying strength by investing in '''Valor''' science.

* Thieves, Wizards and Prisoners '''cannot''' be used to slay a dragon.

* Some races or personalities may receive a bonus to dragon slaying strength of all troops (including soldiers).

* Dragons will fly away on their own on the dawning of the 3rd (third) Utopian month; having lasted for a total of 48 utopian days.

* Dragons send range is from 20% smaller to 25% larger in relation to kingdoms net worth. Dragon send range will be removed when targeting a Kingdom you are at war with.

* Monarchs and Stewards have the option to start a dragon project. Once a dragon project is started a Fund Dragon menu link will appear in the navigation area for all qualified provinces to help funding the dragon project. When fully funded, only the '''Monarch''' or '''Steward(s)''' will have the ability to send the dragon.

* Provinces in protection may not fund or slay a dragon.

* Once a kingdom receives a Dragon, a menu link will appear in the affected players navigation area allowing them access to the Slay Dragon section.

* A dragon will automatically be cancelled upon the commencement of a '''EOWCF'''. Dragons are automatically cancelled when a regular ceasefire or forced ceasefire happens.

*Gains Throttling will be significantly more effective - Once the meter variance between Kingdoms is 50 points, each point over 50 will reduce gains by 1% up to a maximum of 75% at a variance of 125 meter points. Max meter will remain at 150
[[Age 74]]
*Meter Throttling - Adjusted to reduce operation damage against Kingdoms that have gains throttled on you. Also there will be a reduction to throttling that occurs within declare range
[[Age 79]]

2026-07-12T06:05:41Z

Revival: /* Changelog */

'''Kingdom Rituals''' (KR) are a new mechanic introduced in [[Age_72|Age 72]] that serves as a kingdom-wide bonus. The [[Politics|Monarch]] or [[Politics|Steward]] can begin a ritual.

==Kingdom Ritual Page==

The Kingdom Ritual page will also display various information such as:
*current active KR type and strength
*current mana level and the rune cost to cast on the ritual
*the activation efficiency of the ritual currently being cast

For enemies: an active Kingdom Ritual will be displayed via Spy on Throne, where you will see which KR is active and current strength

==<span style="color:#FFC300">Types of Kingdom Rituals</span>==

There are 7 kinds of Kingdom Rituals:

==Completing A Ritual==

To complete the ritual, the Kingdom must successfully cast the ritual spell a minimum of 3 times the number of Provinces in the Kingdom (minimum 15 provinces for this calculation) within 48 hours of the ritual being started. <br>

A Ritual can be overcasted, for increased effects.<br>

<div class="formula-box">
Ritual Effectiveness = 1 + (2*SQRT( X - MAX(45,KD_provs*3) )) /100
</div>

where X = number of ritual casts, when X ≥ 3 times the number of Provinces in the Kingdom

A ritual's strength diminishes by .25% per tick.

The ritual spell has a difficulty similar to the most difficult self-spell, a very expensive rune cost (Cost Multiplier 6) and costs 2% Mana per cast.<br>
A successful ritual will last for a minimum of 48 (if destroyed by Abolish Ritual) and a maximum of 120 hours. While only one ritual can be active, another one can be started before the active ritual ends, very similar to Dragons. Once the ritual is completed, the previous ritual will be replaced.

==Destroying A Ritual==

Rituals are destroyable via the [[Mystics#Abolish_Ritual|Abolish Ritual]] spell. This spell reduces the strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. Abolish Ritual can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times — in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0%, you would need to cast the spell 10 times on 5 different provinces.

Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.

===Changelog===
[[Age 72]]
*Kingdom Rituals (KR) are a new mechanic that serves as a kingdom-wide bonus.
**The Monarch or Steward will select one of 3 rituals the kingdom will begin (similar to the starting of a dragon)
**To complete the ritual the Kingdom must cast a new 'ritual spell' 100 times within 48 hours of the ritual being started
**The ritual spell will have a very expensive rune casting cost; and have a difficulty similar to the most difficult self spell
**A successful KR will last for 120 hours
**Only one KR can be active, another KR can be started before the active KR ends, very similar to Dragons. Once the KR is completed, the previous KR will be replaced
**All users will have a KR page; only on this page you will have the KR spell available to help initiate the KR
**The KR page will also display various information such as: current KR status (type and strength), whether a new ritual is being cast, how many more successful casts are necessary
**For enemies: an active KR will be displayed via Spy on Throne, where you will see which KR is active and current strength
**There are three kinds of KRs:
***Barrier - Increases defensive TPA and WPA by 25%; reduces gains via attacks against the kingdom by 10% (similar to Guard Stations); +10% DME
***Affluent (WAR ONLY, not EOWCF) - Increases income by 25%, Birth Rate by 20%, and draft speed by 25%
***Onslaught - Increases OME by 10% and enemy casualties on your offensive attacks by 15%
**Note: The Affluent KR can be initiated and completed at any time regardless of your stance (relations) however, if it is active and you are NOT in war you will receive no effects from it.
[[Age 73]]
*Rituals Length - Rituals will have a minimum length of 48 hours (120 max remains)
*Ritual Life - Rituals will now be destroyable. There will be a new spell used specifically for Ritual destruction. The spell will be in the upper tier of difficulty and will reduce strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x on 5 different provinces. Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.
*Rituals updated
[[Age 74]]
*Reduced to 80 casts
*Mana cost will actually be 2% instead of 3% (this was left out of Age 73 code but is now in place for Age 74)
*Rituals updated
[[Age 75]]
*Ritual Strength (will be renamed to Effectiveness for purposes of clarity) is active and affecting the bonuses received from the Ritual
*Ritual will no longer 'require' 80 casts to complete (although 80 will provide the full strength of bonuses listed)
*Once the Ritual is started it can be 'completed' at any time after 40 successful casts by the Monarch pressing a new button to Activate the Ritual immediately based on the number of successful casts at that time
*The Monarch or Steward can see the effectiveness of the ritual as it is being cast
*Ritual will automatically cast on the expiration of 48 hours and effects will be based on the number of successful casts at that time
*Ritual strength(effectiveness) will scale based on the amount of casts: 40-80 casts is a linear growth from 40% to 100% effectiveness (accurate); over 80 casts will have diminishing returns.
*Abolish Ritual will remain in its current state (50 casts overall required to destroy enemy ritual)
*Ritual Casts will be displayed on the Throne so that you know how 'strong' the base effect of the Ritual is
*Rituals updated

[[Age 62]]
*Gains science will be removed and replaced with a base military efficiency science bonus which will scale similarly to Population science.
[[Age 63]]
*Military Science: More points now required for the same effect
[[Age 64]]
*Extreme, Rushed, Intensive and Accelerated cost reduced
[[Age 69]]
* The new science system is introduced.
**Books of science and learning have been removed. You can no longer invest in science to create books, nor allocate them to different sciences. As a consequence, books no longer contribute to net worth, and book are no longer given as part of end of war bonuses.
**Instead of books, each province starts out with about 18 scientists, each of whom are are assigned to a random category of science, but which you can reassign at will. Every province has a chance of having a new scientists emerge on each game day, such that an average province will have about 80 - 120 by the end of the age, depending on mods. You will get a message in your province news whenever a new scientist emerges. Scientists do not take up population space.
**Each scientist makes an impact on the the science they are assigned to, such as + population or + food. The impact that each scientist makes mainly depends on their level: novice make a small impact, graduates make a larger impact and professors make double the impact of novices. The total impact of scientists is capped, depending on the science category. You would need about 120 professors to cap out every kind of science.
**Scientists skill up the longer you leave them assigned to the same science category, and drop back down to novice whenever you reassign them. It takes 72 game days (3 real days) to level up to graduate, and 168 game days (one real week) to reach professor. The number of game days required for each scientist to reach the next level is displayed on the science page.
**Scientists also make a contribution to net worth based on their skill level. Every game day of experience that your scientists have is valued at 2.6gc, meaning that 100 professors would contribute about 44K gc.
**Learns attacks are now replaced with Abduct attacks, which capture a number of random Scientists from your opponent. These scientists are captured intact with their experience, allocated science and name.
**The Amnesia spell has also been updated to make your opponent’s scientists lose a number of game days worth of experience. For some this will delay them reaching the next level, while it will effectively demote some others to the previous level.
**Fountain of Knowledge previously increased book production for a while. This spell is now gone, and is replaced by the Revelate spell. The revelate spell increases the probability of a new scientist emerging on each affected game day by 30% while it is cast.
**The Spy on Science op has been updated, and will steal a report on the total number of scientists assigned to each science type, along with their total effect (but you cannot steal specifics like how many professors there are).
**Libraries, used to create a bonus towards every science effect, including the science of tools, which in turn created a bonus on each land type except libraries, since that would mean that libraries and tools would have a circular effect on each other. **Libraries are now gone, along with the circular effect of libraries on other types of buildings. Knowledge of tools, which helps building efficiency, is governed solely by how many scientists you have allocated to it.
**A new building type, Laboratories, now helps generate more Scientists, increasing the probability that a new scientist will emerge on any given game day.
**Schools used to provide a home for books, having a dual effect of reducing the cost of producing books and protecting books from learn attacks. Schools are now gone. In their place are Universities, which provide refuge for Scientists from Abduction attacks.
**In short, laboratories help create scientists, while universities keep them safe from abduction and amnesia.
**The Sage personality previously had special advantages with books. Sages are still somewhat protected from learn attacks and enjoy sole access to the amnesia spell, but instead of their land spontaneously generating books, their scientists are 30% smarter. Instead of their books being protected from Learn attacks, their scientists have 50% reduced losses on Adbuct attacks. Also, instead of starting with more books, they start with 10% extra scientists.
**The Fortified stance previously had the effect of capping the research rate on books. This has now been changed. While in fortified, all scientific progress stops, as you have cut yourself off from the world. During fortified no new scientists will emerge, and your existing scientists will not progress in skill level.
[[Age 70]]
* Professors experience capped at 72 hours (a maxed-out professor will provide ~624gc Networth). Tools cap increased from 15% to 20%, housing and military cap from 10% to 15%, food from 100% to 200%, channeling from 100% to 125%. Additional scientist rank added: Recruit.
**Higher initial scientists
**Abduct rate boosted
**Spawn rate boosted
**Spawn rate increases each tick you do not get a scientist
**Laboratories boosted
**Revelate will double spawn rate
**Additional scientist rank Recruit- no effects, takes 6 hours to move up to Novice
**Professors will not accumulate experience past 72 hours
**Caps on some science categories modified along with impact of professors etc.
**Alchemy: 30%
**Tools: 20%
**Population: 15%
**Food: 200%
**Military: 15%
**Channeling: 125%
**Crime: 100%
**Magic sci will buff wizard production and wpa. Yes, this means it will not buff rune production.
[[Age 71]]
*Scientist Recruit rank reduced from 6 hours to 3 hours
*Scientist Spawn rate lowered slightly
*Food Science will now be Production Science, and it will increase both Food and Rune production
*Production Science maximum will be 120%, down from 200%
*Magic Science will no longer increase Wizard Production
*Approximately +50% Scientists will be required to reach maximum effects (We want there to be a strategic choice as to what science effects you have by reducing the spawn rate & increasing required scientists to reach max)
[[Age 72]]
*Scientists are generated on a flat ratio (7.5) similar to wizards instead of via RNG.
[[Age 73]]
*Science Caps - Science will no longer have a hard maximum for all categories. The purpose of this is to allow players more freedom to make your province unique and provide further bonuses to the areas you choose. Science will scale in a linear fashion similar to Age 72 up to the previously stated maximums as normal. Once this point is reached additional scientists will yield diminishing returns.
[[Age 74]]
*You can now choose which category your next scientist will spawn into (random is also an option)
*Scientist Experience will now show on your Science page and in the Spy on Sciences. This will allow for calculation of scientist networth to ultimately provide a method for determining wizard population. We feel that Wizards should have some mystery and require a bit of knowledge and pursuit to discover rather than have accurate information handed out in a single successful operation.
[[Age 75]]
*Scientist Max Networth will be adjusted
[[Age 76]]
*The number of scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories: 35.
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories at 35
[[Age 77]]
*Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories reduced from 35 to 30
*Scientist spawn rate will be increased by roughly 30%
*Scientist Networth will be reduced by roughly 35%
[[Age 78]]
*Science System
**Definition 'Category': A group of science types
**Definition 'Type': A specific kind of science that provides a bonus, i.e. Population Science
**Science effects will NOT be based on land size
**Science Types will be split into 3 major Categories (Economy, Warfare, Arcane Arts)
**Scientists will generate naturally, similar to the way they generate now, except much slower (Laboratories will increase scientist generation rate)
**Scientists will create books per tick
**Scientists get assigned to a Category (random or chosen)
**Scientists can progress in experience level which will increase book per tick generation
**Scientist experience will be based on how many books they have produced, not the amount of time they have been in a category
**Scientists can be re-assigned to a different category, but lose their experience (book / tick production will revert back to the starting level) similar to current system (there will be no Recruit period where they don't generate any books, they will generate books upon the first tick in whichever category they are in)
**Schools will increase book per tick generation, but will only increase production in a single Category, there will be a drop down menu to choose in which Category you want increased generation
**Books can be allocated to any science Type within the Category they have been produced
**Science effects will be diminishing returns starting from 0
**SoS will show unallocated books and total science effects / books / scientists (and level)
**Scientists will not have a networth value
**Books will have a networth value TBD (allocated and unallocated will be the same value)
**Allocated books will go into effect instantly, instead of learned over time, we refer to this as the hoyaah principle
*Science types are split into three categories:
**Economy:  
***Housing: Population bonus
***Tools: Building Efficiency bonus 
***Production: Rune & Food production bonus 
***Alchemy: Income bonus
***Bookkeeping: Wage reduction  
***Artisan: Construction time reduction
**Warfare:
***Siege: Attack gains bonus
***Tactics: Offensive Military Efficiency
***Valor: Military train time reduction & Dragon slaying bonus
***Heroism: Draft speed increase & draft cost reduction
***Strategy: Defensive Military Efficiency
**Arcane Arts:
***Crime: Thievery Effectiveness bonus (TPA)
***Sorcery: Wizard Effectiveness bonus (WPA)
***Shielding: Reduction of Enemy Thievery and Magic instant operation damage
***Invocation: Ritual cost reduction
***Cunning: Increase Damage of your Thievery and Magic instant operations
[[Age 79]]
*Scientists will generate faster
*Science effects will be adjusted
*Book generation rate will be reduced
*Artisan will include a reduced construction cost
*Inactive provinces will not produce books

[[Age 115]]
*Resilience Multiplier decreased to 0.04401 from 0.0489
*Artisan Multiplier decreased to 0.04302 from 0.0478
*Finesse Multiplier decreased to 0.08685 from 0.0965

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a79

Unlike your fabled land of Earth, the citizens of [[Utopia]] truly believe in and have witnessed the powers of magic. From the deadly plagues to the amazingly fertile land, so much has happened on this planet that cannot be explained away by science or nature. As ruler of your lands, you have access to some of the most amazing magical spells ever known. Below, I will try to explain to the best of my ability the powers of these spells and how to make magic your friend. For more in-depth information on each Spell, check [[Magic Formulas]].

=== Essentials: Runes, Wizards, and Guilds ===
Spells require [[Runes]], [[Military|Wizards]], and [[Growth|Guilds]] to be cast. [[Growth|Towers]] produce runes every hour, which are consumed with each spell. Wizards are naturally trained by your Guilds. Like all of the other individuals across your lands, they come from your [[Military|peasantry]] and reduce your number of available [[Economy#Peasants|workers]]. Be careful not to hold too many Wizards or you may be sacrificing your peasantry, [[Military|Thieves]], or [[Military]]. At any time, you can release Wizards back into the peasantry or simply shut down additional training. Your Wizards maintain a Mana level which determines whether or not they can cast Spells. This rating rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast a Spell. Your Wizards will not cast Spells without at least a 5% Mana level. Casting Spells is not without risks. Failed attempts can result in explosions and kill a small portion of your Wizards.

=== Rune Generation ===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Runes Generated =</b> (( Towers * 12 * Race Land Effect Mod * Personality Land Effect Mod * Building Efficiency ) + ( Land * Land Rune Generation )) * Production Science * [[Honor#Effects|Honor Mod]] * Ritual Mod * Stance Mod
</div>
* Each tick, 1.2% of the total Runes in storage will decay.

=== Determining Success ===
To cast a spell, you must have [[Growth#Guilds|Guilds]], wizards and mystic [[Runes]]. For spells cast upon yourself, success is based on your Guild percentage and your Building Efficiency - the more guilds you have, the better you will do. For spells cast upon others, the success is based on your relative wizard population, measured as Wizards Per Acre (WPA), modified by the racial bonuses or penalties and your knowledge of Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared to an enemy, the better your success. However, there is always a great deal of chance in every spell. Furthermore, the duration of all spells is greatly impacted by your Guild percentage.

For support spells, the formula used to calculate success rate is adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require the caster to have WPA but the formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their support caster. In other words, although you still need WPA it won't be a very significant part of the formula.

=== Duration of Spells ===
The duration of successful spells is affected by:
* The nominal duration of that particular spell, which differs for each spell.
* The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no additional effect for amounts over 20%.
* The relative networth of the two provinces.
* The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.
Additionally, there is an element of randomness.

One quarter of the nominal duration of a spell is always contributed to the final cast time. A scaling factor made up of the % guilds, relative net worth and current relations then governs the contribution of another quarter of the nominal duration. Finally, the remaining half of the nominal duration is contributed to the final cast time, scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

For example, given a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days:
* with a scaling factor of 100% (meaning both provinces have the same net worth, are in war, and the caster has 20% or more guilds), the final cast time will be in the range of 12-24 days.
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 0% (e.g., the cast has no guilds), the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days).
* in a situation with a scaling factor of 50%, the final cast time will be 6 days (25% of 24 days) + 3 days (25% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%) + 0-6 days (random number out of 50% of 24 days multiplied by scaling factor of 50%), which equals 9 - 15 days in total.

=== Cost of Spells ===

All spells cost mana, which the province will regenerate each Utopian day up to a maximum of 100%. Once your mana falls below 5% you are unable to cast any more spells until your mana regenerates.

The costs of spells are:

* Self Spells - 3%
* Offensive Spells (without relations) - 3%
* Offensive Spells (Hostile relations) - 2%
* [[Ritual]] Spells - 2%
* Support Spells on others - 2%
* Successful received Support Spells - 2%

=== Restriction & Limits ===
Certain spells are designated Unfriendly, Hostile or [[Relations#War|War]] Only spells -- Because of the destructive nature of these spells, they can be cast only against provinces which have at least a certain level of relations with your kingdom. In addition, you will find that many of these spells are more effective during heightened relations conditions.
<br>

Spells are divided into two categories, as listed below:

*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_self_spells|Self Spells]]
** Some Self Spells can be cast on kingdom members by certain [[Races and Personalities|Races]]. These spells are known as Support Spells. Success is based on the caster's WPA and relative networth to the target, and the duration of these spells is based on target's guilds. The list can be found [[Magic_Formulas#The Spell Book|'''here''']].
**The caster gains honor from kd mates whom they cast support spells on. Those getting cast on lose honor when having a support spell casted on them, ~0.1%.
*[[Mystics#The_Spell_Book:_the_offensive_spells|Offensive spells]]

There are 3 possible outcomes of casting a spell. It can be successful, it can fail, or it can fail and some wizards may die.

*Successful message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!
*Fail message: Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us.
*Dying wizards message: "Leader name", something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!

Please note that Duration is in real time, spell messages are in [[Utopia Time]].

== The Spell Book: Self Spells ==

Listed here is a short reference guide to each of the spells available that can be cast on yourself. Any restrictions on use will be listed under the name.

*Vermin: Removed.
*Gluttony: New - Increases food required by 25%.
[[Age 69]]
*The Amnesia spell has also been updated to make your opponent’s scientists lose a number of game days worth of experience. For some this will delay them reaching the next level, while it will effectively demote some others to the previous level.
*Fountain of Knowledge previously increased book production for a while. This spell is now gone, and is replaced by the Revelate spell. The revelate spell increases the probability of a new scientist emerging on each affected game day by 30% while it is cast.
*New spell: Blizzard
**Reduces the building effectiveness of a province by 10%, does not stack, medium cost and difficulty, short duration.
[[Age 70]]
*Blizzard duration increased
[[Age 71]]
*Revelation will increase scientist spawn rate by 30%, down from 100%
*Revelation duration will be lowered
*Blood Lust will provide +10% Offensive Military Efficiency & +15% Higher Military Losses for the caster & +10% Military Losses for the enemy
*Anonymity will no longer destroy honor during war
[[Age 72]]
*Paradise - will still consume explore pool, will be available only to Mystic or Rogue personality (Not Faery)
*Inspire Army is no longer a baseline spell, it is being replaced by a Paladin Only spell called Paladin's Inspiration and has ~25% increased effects (low difficulty;moderate/high duration)
*New Spells:
**Scientific Insights (Paladin Only) - This spell will increase the science effectiveness of target province by +10% (moderate difficulty/short duration)
**Illuminate Shadows (Paladin Only) - Provide target with -20% damage from thievery operations (moderate/high difficulty;moderate duration)
**Wrathful Smite (Paladin Only) - Attacks against province while this spell is active will result in higher casualties for the attacker (moderate difficulty;low/moderate duration)
**Divine Shield (Paladin Only) - Increase magic defense of target (will stack with Magic Shield;low/moderate difficulty;moderate duration)
*Sorcery
**Magic Ward (Unf Only) (Paladin Only) - Increase target's spell cost in runes by 25% for duration (moderate difficulty)
**Barrier of Integrity (Unf Only) (Paladin Only) - Stops all drafting that would normally take place in target province (moderate/high difficulty;very short duration)
[[Age 73]]
*Mana Costs - Flat cost - 3% self spell, 3% offensive spell (2% with relations) & 2% flat rate for all Paladin self spells on others & Ritual Spell casts will also be a flat cost of 2%
*Paladin Spells - Increase all Paladin only spell durations
*Paladin Self Spells - The formula used to calculate success rate will be adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require Paladins to have WPA but the new formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their Paladins. In other words, a significant increase in the success rate of Paladin spells, although you still need WPA it won't be as significant a part of the formula as previously.
*There will be a new spell used specifically for Ritual destruction. The spell will be in the upper tier of difficulty and will reduce strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x on 5 different provinces. Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.
*Elite Longevity - Elite losses via NightStrike will be closer to losses of Specialists seen now. Elites that go into retraining from Nightmare will also increase closer to that of specialists. Propaganda has also seen an increase to elite damage closer to that of Specialists. Military Casualties will be unchanged
[[Age 74]]
*Inspire Army/Paladin's Inspiration - Both of these spells are capable of being cast on a Province, however, while PI is cast it's effects will prevail until it wears off. Therefore, the bonuses from each of these spells will not stack, only 1 will be applied if both are present.
*Some Paladin Only spell durations tweaked slightly higher
*Nature's Blessing - The chance to cure plague will be increased to 1/3 up from 1/5
[[Age 75]]
*Some Paladin Only spell durations adjusted slightly higher
*All Instant Sorcery Spells will have damage reduced by 5%
*A slight reduction in damage will be made on the effectiveness of operations performed the farther out of range a province is (this will be affected in both directions, small vs large and large vs small)
[[Age 76]]
*Support spells will no longer have the possibility of exploding wizards
[[Age 77]]
*Expose Thieves will only become available with Unfriendly relations
*Support Spells - Success formula will be tweaked slightly to be more difficult in extreme range scenarios
[[Age 78]]

</div>

* Note: War Attack Speed phases in to -15%, after 12 hours of War have passed.
* There is a net worth value adjustment for attack times. This adjustment compares your net worth to the net worth of the province you are planning to attack. If these are close to each other the base attack times as given below are used. If the net worth differs, then the base attack time is multiplied, so your attack time is longer. This does not affect intra-KD attacks or in War.

====Base Attack Time====
The base attack time is 14 hours. This is the value all calculations are based upon.

====Minimum Offense to Win====
To guarantee a win, you must send Mod Offense that is at least 1 greater than the defender's Mod Defense.

On Conquest attacks, the minimum Offense to win is 51% of the opponents Defense.

==Attack Gains==
For Attacks that target and capture Resources (Traditional March, Conquest, Plunder, Learn), the Gains are calculated as follows:
<div class="formula-box">

</div>
* Resources are defined as: Land, Gold Coins, Food, Runes, Science Books
* Land attacks (except Ambush) also reward Military Credits (target's Defense Points *.008 * relative NW * Military Credits mod) and Building Credits (Acres captured * 0.4 * relative NW * Building Credits mod).
* Raze ignores all modifiers except Relations, [[Multi-Attack_Protection_(MAP)|Multi-Attack Protection]] and the Attack Time Adjustment Factor.
* Massacre ignores most Resource Gains modifiers, except RPNW, RKNW, Relations, [[Multi-Attack_Protection_(MAP)|Multi-Attack Protection]] and the Attack Time Adjustment Factor; Massacre is affected by Massacre Damage mod.
* Ambush ignores all modifiers except increased/decreased Ambush Battle Losses mod.

===Province Networth Factor===
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Relative Province Networth </b>(rpnw) = Targets Networth / Self Networth<br>
<b>Province Networth Factor =</b> ''DEPEND'' ( rpnw ) :<br>

</div>
'''NOTE''': RKNW is based on the Average Province size of the Kingdom.<br>
'''NOTE''': RKNW factor protection slightly increased in [[Age 112]].

===Attack Time Adjustment Factor===
Adding or subtracting hours modifies the Gains (based on your Attack Time), as follows:

===Attack Type===
====Traditional March====
Base gains are 12% and are capped at 20% of your Acres or your opponent's Acres, whichever is smaller.

====Ambush====
Will return 50% of the Acres lost in the attack. Unaffected by Gains modifiers. Inflicts 15% increased Military Casualties.

====Plunder====
Base gains are 50% gold, 60% food and 60% runes. Max gains is 1.75x base (67.5% gold, 81% runes/food). Military Casualties on Plunder defense are reduced by 50%.

====Learn====
Steals ~2.5% <sup>[[Age 111]]</sup> of target's allocated Books. Out of War Learns will no longer capture unallocated books at a greater rate. <sup>[[Age 110]]</sup><br>
During War, Learn temporarily removes ~35% <sup>[[Age 109]]</sup> of total allocated Science Books, these return over 48 Ticks.<br>
Military Casualties on Learn defense are reduced by 50%, except during war. <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

====Raze====
Destroys a portion (~5%) of the target's Land. In War, this attack only destroys ~30% Buildings.

====Conquest====
Base gains are 6.8% land for a full hit, Gains are decreased in proportion to the relative Offense sent vs. target's Defense.<br>
Available only within 5% Net Worth range outside Hostile/War, unless attacker has access to Enhanced Conquest.

====Massacre====
Base gains are 9.5% peasants, 7.5% Thieves and 5% Wizards. Efficiency increased roughly 2x during War. <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

==Defending==
<div class="formula-box">
<b>Raw Defense =</b> (Defense Specs * Def Spec Points) + (Elites at Home * Elite's Defense) + (Soldiers * Sold Def Points * [[Mystics#Aggression|Aggression]]) + [[Mystics#Town_Watch|Townwatch]]<br>
<b>Mod Defense =</b> ''MAX'' ( Raw Defense * Defensive Military Efficiency , Land )
</div>

===Minimum Defense===
All land is protected by a minimum of 1 defense per Acre.<br>
Opponent needs one offense to break your defense<br>
This '''does not apply''' to Intra-Kingdom attacks.

==Military Casualties==
Base Military Casualties are 6.5%-8.5% on Offense, 5%-6.5% on Defense.

</div>

[[Age 75]]
*Abduct - Gains reduced
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength

Multi-Attack Protection (MAP)

2026-07-12T06:02:36Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a79

Multi-Attack Protection ('''MAP''') (formerly known as Gangbang Protection '''GBP''') is a game mechanism introduced which aims to increase the protection conferred to Provinces which have been recently hit.<br>
Current MAP Status/Level can bee seen under Affairs of the State.<br>
Failed Attacks also increase the MAP of the defender, based on relative Offense sent/Defense, linearly scaling from 0 to half the amount of MAP generated on a successful Traditional March.

==Effects of MAP==
* The more MAP on your Province, the less an Attack will gain from you - all other variables being equal.
* Increases Military Efficiency.
* Reduced Military Casualties equal to Gains reduction
* MAP rounds off to the nearest percentage (eg. it can be 20% or 21% but not 20.5%)
* MAP is almost negligible in War.

==Attacking MAP Change==

===Land Attacks===
<div class="formula-box">
A land attack (Traditional March, Raze or Conquest) increases the MAP rating by 2.75 * Percent of Targets land taken.
</div>

For example if a target is attacked for 120 of its 1000 acres (12%) its MAP/GBP rating will increase by(12% * 2.75 = 33%) 33 points, taking it from 0% to 33% if previously un hit - enough to put it into the 'moderately hit' section.

===Non-Land Attacks===
<div class="formula-box">
Non-Land Attacks (Plunder or Massacre) increase the MAP/GBP rating by 0.06 * Current Gains OOW<p>
Learn increases the MAP/GBP rating by 0.12 * Current Gains OOW
</div>

For example if a target with a MAP rating of 20% (and thus Gains OOW of 80%) which is hit for a Plunder, it will boost its GBP by (0.06 * 80% = 4.8% rounded off) 5% to 25%.



==MAP Decay==
*MAP rating naturally decreases every Tick by an amount dependent on the current MAP rating as shown in the above table. For example if the MAP rating is currently 59% (heavily hit), on the next hour change it will decrease by 2% to 57%.

*MAP also decays whenever the province with MAP makes an attack. 

==Military Effectiveness==
<div class="formula-box">
MAP gives a bonus to Military Effectiveness equal to the MAP rating / 7.5
</div>

For example if the MAP rating of a province is 59% (heavily hit) their ME is boosted by (59 / 7.5 = 7.9%) 7.9% - ie. 1.079 times it's current rating.

==Changelog==
[[Age 76]]
*Multi-Attack Protection (MAP) - Will no longer increase from failed attacks
[[Age 79]]
* MAP change in war will be adjusted to roughly be in the middle of where it was in Age 77 and Age 78

Relations

2026-07-12T06:01:34Z

Revival: /* Changelog */ added a79

[[Military#Understanding_Attacks|Attacking]] another kingdom affects the relations between the two kingdoms.

By continually attacking, your kingdom's conflict level against the opposing kingdom will the hostile meter, thereby changing the relation type; first from '''Normal''' to '''Unfriendly''', and then '''Hostile'''.

There are five relation types, each of which have various benefits and penalties.
* Note: The hostile relations decay after 96h without war <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>

= Relation Types =
Each kingdom will have differing relations amongst one another in the world of Utopia. How these relations evolve (or fall apart) will be dependent on the history, conflict level, and diplomatic abilities of the Monarchs and their Stewards. You can see your relation with any given kingdom by viewing their respective [[Kingdom]] page. It is indicated as such:
<div class="formula-box">
Their Attitude Towards Us : XX<br>
Our Attitude Towards Them : YY<br>
</div>

== Normal ==
*No effects, except:
*When out of war <sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>, targeting a kingdom that is less than 85% your Land and Net Worth, the following penalties apply:
**Battle Gains: -10%
**Military Casualties: +10%
**Honor Gains: -25%
**Attack Time: +20% <sup>[[Age 114]]</sup>

This is the default relation between all kingdoms from the start of the [[Age]]. '''Normal''' relations will resume after a '''War''' or '''Ceasefire''' ends.

== Unfriendly <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Unfriendly'' is the first elevated stage of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, granting access to additional hostile actions.

When the [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]] reaches '''15 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance changes to '''Unfriendly''' toward the target kingdom. This unlocks stronger offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]].

=== Effects ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:70%; text-align:center;"

|}

== Hostile <sup>[[Age 112]]</sup>==
''Hostile'' is the second level of diplomatic tension between kingdoms, marking a major escalation in aggression.

When the [[Hostile Meter]] reaches '''30 hostility points''', the aggressor kingdom’s stance becomes '''Hostile''' toward the target kingdom. Dropping below this threshold returns relations to '''Unfriendly'''. Hostile status unlocks powerful offensive [[Mystics#The Spell Book: Offensive Spells|Spells]] and [[Thievery]], including [[Mystics#Meteor_Showers|Meteor Showers]], and reduces mana and stealth costs for hostile actions to **2%**.

=== Summary ===
Hostile relations represent a significant step toward open conflict, offering access to devastating hostile operations and spells. This stage is often a precursor to full-scale War.

== Ceasefire ==
==== Agreed Ceasefire ====
Also known as a '''Non Aggression Pact''' (as seen on the opposing kingdom page and when targeting with spells/ops).
* Prohibits any [[Attacking & Defending|Attacks]], Spells, or Ops between opposing kingdoms
* Annuls [[Hostile Meter|Hostility Meter]]
* Minimum duration of 1 [[Utopia Time| Utopian Month]]
* Can be enforced for a max of 3 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Years]]

Both Monarchs and Stewards can send, accept, and break Ceasefires. Once accepted, the Ceasefire agreement cannot be broken for the next 24 hours, though the Monarch or Steward can choose to extend this date no further than 3 weeks.<br> While a Ceasefire is in effect, no hostile actions will be allowed between the two Kingdoms.

==== Forced Ceasefire ====
Defensive Force Ceasefire reintroduced with the following changes:
* DFCF becomes available when all of the following are met:
** The kingdom is 45 points (in-range) or 30 points (out-of-range) below the aggressor on the hostility meter
** The aggressor has not been given Hostile status
** No attacks have been made against the aggressor for 3 ticks
** The kingdom is lower in both Land and Networth than the aggressor
** '''Cannot FCF until 3 ticks of Hostile have occurred''' <sup> NEW* </sup>
* DFCF will incur a penalty if within War Range of the aggressor (15% NW or Land)
** Penalty will be a loss of 1.75% Honor and 1.75% Science.
** There is no penalty incurred for DCFC if out of War Range of the aggressor
** Penalty will have a warning popup, as to not be done accidentally
* DFCFd duration will be for 48 hours before it can be cancelled by either kingdom
<br><br>
Hostile meter will now decay after 48 hours of going hostile, decay rate will ramp with meter points





[[Relations#End-of-War_Ceasefire|End-of-War Ceasefire]] has slightly different effects and conditions.

== War ==
War begins when a kingdom ''declares War'' on a Hostile kingdom '''OR''' if the maximum hostility level is reached by both Kingdoms.

In order to declare War, a Kingdom must:
* have received Attacks from at least three unique provinces on either side (except if Monarch/Stewards grant Hostile Operations)
* be in Range (more than 85% and less than 117.64% of its Net Worth or Land when declaring up, but must be in range for BOTH LAND and NET WORTH when declaring down.)<sup>[[Age 113]]</sup>
* be ''at least'' '''Unfriendly''' with the opposing Kingdom, '''AND''' that Kingdom must be '''Hostile''' with your Kingdom

''In instances where both kingdoms are '''Hostile''', the Kingdom with fewer meter points will receive the [[Relations#Starting_a_War|"button"]] and be able to declare while. When 60 points are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare''

''If 180 points are reached by both Kingdoms, War automatically starts.''

Wars last a minimum of 2 [[Utopia Time|Utopian Months]] (48 hours) after declaration.

A Kingdom can only War one other Kingdom at a time.

Honor and Land gains are higher in War than out of War.

=== Immediate Effects ===
* War overrides relations with all other kingdoms. Upon leaving War, '''Normal''' relations will resume. While in War, there is a decay of two hostility points per [[Time_in_Utopia|Utopian Month]] or 1/5th of the Meter, whichever is greater.
* Provinces created in War will be in [[Protection]] for 72 days and start with zero soldiers and zero credits.

=== Fake War ===
Any informal or formal agreements made between kingdoms in regards to warring must abide by the Code of Conduct. Violations may cause the war to be deemed a Fake War. Fake Wars are subject to actions by the game operators. As the determination for a Fake War is made on a case-by-case basis by the game operators, the exact punishment may vary.

Ways a War can be faked (Please note, this is just an idea and not a comprehensive list):
*Requesting specific people be targeted by opposing Kingdom or accepting to action a request from the opposing Monarch
*Non-aggression pact during War of any duration and at any time
*Attempts to manipulate War-Win rankings using friends to initiate multiple Wars
*Agreement to trading Acres for a War Win
*"Ending" a war before minimum war duration

Punishments may include (Again, not a comprehensive list):
*Removal from the End of Age rankings for both kingdoms
*Deletion and temporary ban of players making the agreement
*Removal of war wins
*Monarchs of both Kingdoms deleted
*Removal of any gains of the Fake War from all Kingdom members (even if they were unaware of the Fake War)

=== Province Creation ===
Provinces created/reset during War will start without Soldiers, Military & Building Credits.

= Starting a War =
Once the '''Hostile''' relation status has been reached by one kingdom, the Monarch of the least hostile Kingdom will receive the option to Declare War as long as their own relations with that Kingdom are at a minimum of '''Unfriendly'''. This "War Button" appears on the Relations Page under the War tab. If both kingdoms have reached '''Hostile''' relations status, the kingdom with fewer points (while under 60 points) will have a "Declare War" button. When both kingdoms reach 60 points, the button will be available to both. Once the button is pressed certain effects are immediately applied; others slowly take effect, rising to their maximum potential over a 24 hour period.

= Ending a War =
Only the Kingdom's Monarch (or Steward) is able to end a war. This is accomplished in one of two ways: Mutual Peace or Withdrawal. Either choice results in an end-of-war ceasefire.

=== Mutual Peace ===
This option requires consent by both parties and simply settles the war with no winner. This is an excellent option when both kingdoms simply lose interest in the war or find it more beneficial to simply move on.

''Both kingdoms receive:''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional land to each province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production
* 1 additional War Score point

=== Withdrawal ===
Once the Minimum Time limit is reached (48 Ticks), either Kingdom can Withdraw from War. Withdrawals can occur if the Withdrawing Kingdom has not committed any Attacks within the past 2 Ticks.

War will also automatically end (a Kingdom will automatically Withdraw) if their Net Worth drops below 66% of the opponent's Net Worth on the first Tick this condition is satisfied. This will only occur after a minimum of 48 Ticks.

''The Withdrawing Kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 24 Ticks of production

''The Withdrawing Kingdom incurs the following '''penalties''':''

* 5% of the Kingdom's Land will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom
* 5% of the Kingdom's Honor will be lost and transferred to the Winning Kingdom

=== Victory ===
A Kingdom is victorious when its opponent withdraws from War. This is also called Surrendering. A Kingdom can only Withdraw if it makes no Attacks for 2 consecutive Ticks. It can then Withdraw on the 3rd Tick. Dragons, Aid, Thievery Operations and Magic Spells do not affect a Kingdom's ability to Withdraw.


''After War, the winning kingdom receives the following '''benefits''':''

* 3 times your median Provinces Acres in Specialist Credits
* Free Building Credits to the total of 200% of Median Province total Land at the end of the War
* A provision of additional Land to each Province's individual Explore Pool
* Science Books bonus equal to 36 ticks of Production
* +50% advancement towards the next Scientist
* Land bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, subtracted from each Province then transferred and distributed evenly
* Land bonus equal to 10% of the losing Kingdom's total Land at the end of the War, distributed prioritizing smallest Provinces in the Winning Kingdom
* Honor bonus equal to 5% of the losing Kingdom's total Honor at the end of the War (subtracted from each province then transferred and distributed evenly), plus 200 Honor per Province
* Recognition on Kingdom Page based on the number of Wars achieved
* 2 additional War Score points
* War rewards are scaled by Kingdom's province count at the beginning of war.

'''Note:'''<br>
* Each additional War Win achieved will increase War Win bonuses (that are not transferred) by 5%, capped at 50% larger than baseline bonus.<br>
* War Win bonus will incur a 5% stacking penalty for each Province below 25, calculated at War start - max 25% reduction.
* At the conclusion of the age, Kingdoms will be awarded bonus War Score points for every Kingdom that they defeated in War, based on the defeated Kingdoms' total War Wins (if any). An additional provision of points will be granted for every Kingdom warred but not defeated, based on the total War Wins of those Kingdoms (if any), a Mutual peace counts as a loss in this instance.
* War Score will incur a 4% stacking penalty for each missing Province below maximum, calculated for each individual War, this penalty carries over to EoA adjustment, full points only awarded full Kingdoms.
* Defeating a kingdom 10% bigger in Net Worth at declaration awards the victor with an additional 30% Honor and 10% Science Books

=== End-of-War Ceasefire ===
After a War ends, neither Kingdom may have any Relations for an [[Utopia Time|Utopian Month]] and are automatically placed in a 24 hour End-of-War Ceasefire. During the ceasefire both Kingdoms remain in War relations, thus retaining the protection benefits while rebuilding. After 24 hours, the Kingdoms have the choice either to end the Ceasefire or to wait up to an additional 72 hours (96 hours total). This choice is independent of the other Kingdom.

''During this ceasefire, both sides benefit from:''

* Building Efficiency automatically restored to 100% if below 100%
* All Land currently out with armies at War end returns home immediately
* All Military Units currently out on Attacks against the War opponent return home immediately
* Negative Spell effects and Riots are removed
* Any Provinces affected by Plague it removed instantly
* Instant Population growth of 20% of maximum if you are under 50% of your maximum Population
* +1000% Birth Rate (minimum 500) for the first 24 Ticks
* Explore penalty reduced to 300% and explore time reduced by 50% for Provinces below Kingdom Median (including incoming explored Acres)
* Access to Paradise spell
* Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering EoWCF

'''Note:'''
* All Credits (Specialist or Building) will be lost upon exit of End of War Ceasefire
* Learn and Amnesia will return books over 48hrs, even if war ends.

= Out-Of-Range War Benefits =
There are no benefits for a War that was conducted outside of War Range (85%-117.64%). Neither winner or loser will gain Training or Building Credits and their Land and Troops will not instantly return (they will return at normal time).

= War Forum =
Shortly after declaring War, a temporary Forum is created. This is known as the War Forum.

In the War Forum Provinces from either Kingdom can interact by starting new threads or posting in existing ones.

Provinces are expected to interact respectfully and obey the Code of Conduct. Any offending material can be removed by either Kingdom's Monarch or Steward.

=Changelog=
[[Age 42]]
*War
**Removing NW based attack times in war (as in genesis)
**On war declaration, attack time reduction will jump to -10% immediately, then phase to -20% (previously 0% then -15%)
**War phasing will be reduced to 12 hours (from 24 hours, this does not apply to protection which is still 24h)
*War Recovery
**In CF, +200% increase in birth rates (from +50%)
**Extending post war CF to 48 hours, monarch can opt out of the CF at any point after 24 hours have passed (each monarch can decide on his own - both kingdoms don't have to stay)
[[Age 51]]
*The End Of War Ceasefire period is extended to 72 hours but can now be exited after 12 hours with no daily honor loss in war
[[Age 52]]
*End of War Ceasefire period can be extended up to 4 days
[[Age 54]]
*The war declaration range for kingdoms will be changed to 25% smaller or 33% larger
*War will end automatically if your opponents networth drops to 50% of yours. This will only occur after a minimum of 7 days of warring and is calculated on tick.
*A war ending will grant, for both kds:
**All land currently out with armies at war end returns home immediately.
**Instant population growth of 20% of your max pop if you are under 50% of your max pop
**+500% Birthrate
**30% reduction in training costs of all troops.
**Draft cost reduced 50%
*Winning a war will grant the following:
**+10% honor taken from the opponents honor pool
**100 books of science per acre based on your median province
**3 times your median provinces acres in spec credits
**Free building credits to the total of your current unbuilt acres
[[Age 55]]
*Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.
*The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
*Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
*Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
[[Age 56]]
*Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.
[[Age 57]]
*In War the minimum gains will be reduced by 50%
[[Age 64]]
*War wins
**Acre reward capped at 20k
**Selecting land as a bonus will also result in a smaller honor bonus and vice versa.
[[Age 67]]
*50 books per acre of science (based on median province size) granted to both kingdoms
*An additional 150 BPA added to the winner
*Wizard training doubled in end of war ceasefire
[[Age 68]]
*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.
*End of War ceasefire: Maximum time reduced to 72 hours. Double wizards removed.
*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.
[[Age 71]]
*The War Win bonus choice of 'Land' or 'Honor' will be removed. All War Wins will yield a single bonus, which will be an increased amount of both Land and Honor. Similar to the minimum land bonus, a minimum honor bonus will also be added.
*Immediately upon entering End of War Cease-Fire any provinces affected by plague will have it removed instantly.
*Additionally, upon entering End of War Cease-Fire, the losing kingdom will receive 50% of their land as free building credits, while the winning kingdom will receive 150% of their land as free building credits. We would like to stimulate the ability for both kingdoms to recover from war such that both the losing kingdom has a better chance at coming out of war recovered and ready to fight again and more importantly, the winning kingdom has an opportunity to defend their land better upon exiting war.
[[Age 72]]
*WW Chart Chains - In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdoms, we have altered the formula to provide additional WW points (scaling from the current if the kingdom you war is outside of the top 50 for land, honor, NW, and warwins) to double the current points.
*WW Bonus - Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdompage based on the number of WW points they achieve. Each additional 'tier' that they obtain will also increase their WW bonus -- land, honor, credits, etc -- by 10%. This is capped at a WW bonus that is 50% larger than the baseline bonus.
*Finally the WW bonus will scale with kingdom size under 20 provinces to reduce the potential for abuse with kingdoms that remain intentionally small in the number of provinces.
*The War Win bonus will also include a provision of additional land to every province's individual explore pool in both kingdoms, this is mainly aimed at helping provinces that are destroyed in war to have a chance to grow back to a functional size.
*WAR - Exploration during eowcf will have reduced cost penalties (from 500% to 250% of normal cost).
*Propose War - Kingdoms will have the diplomatic option to Propose War to enemies in range and start war instantly instead of via attacks
[[Age73]]
*Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
*War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
[[Age 74]]
*Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.
*War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
*EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
*Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
[[Age 75]]
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
*War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
*War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
*Force Cease-Fire - There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
**The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
**The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
**The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
**If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
**The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
**There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
[[Age 76]]
*During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
[[Age 77]]
*The 10% reduced attack time granted instantly on War Declare will be removed
*Attack speed reduction from war will slide in up to -25% over 12 ticks
[[Age 78]]
*Auto Cease-Fire - The mechanic that allows a smaller Kingdom to automatically enter into a 7 day cease-fire with a larger Kingdom that has a large meter disparity will be removed
*War
**The amount of unique provinces required to attack from each Kingdom will be increased from 2 to 3 in order to declare war
**MAP reduction from War will be reduced by ~25%, this means that gains on a province with max MAP will be lower than they currently are
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Population growth will be increase from +500% to +1000%
**There will be a minimum peasant growth per tick of 500
[[Age 79]]
*There will remain a requirement of at least 3 provinces within a Kingdom to perform operations on the opposing Kingdom for War to be declared
*An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
*To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
*A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
**a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;
**b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
**c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender
**d) Aggressor has been Hostile with defender for at least 3 ticks.
*If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
*War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
*If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
*End of War Cease-Fire
**Birth Rate will be increased by current effects only for the first 36 hours
**Troop/Thief cost reduction will be removed
**All credits (Specialist/Build) will be lost upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire
**A small amount of science will be awarded to the winner

<p>When a party hits <b>15 points</b> they become Unfriendly to the Kingdom which they hit/opped. Hostile status requires <b>30 points</b> to achieve.
</p><p>If both Kingdoms reach Hostile relations, the kingdom with fewer meter points may declare war. When <b>60 points</b> are reached by both Kingdoms, either one can declare.
</p><p>On the first of each Utopian Month, both hostility meters decay by <b>one fifth (20%) or 3 points, whichever is greater</b>.
</p>
