Age of Merry Mayhem
The bells are ringing. The razes are singing.
The war drums jingle, the soldiers jangle, and somewhere in the distance… someone’s setting fire to an orc's stables.

The Age of Merry Mayhem has arrived - where wars meet with large amounts of ale, and no one’s entirely sober. Between flying avians, heavily bearded dwarves mistaken for Santa, and over eager generals yelling “just one more massacre before dinner!”, Utopia plunges into the most wonderful time of the year.

Be quick, be bold and for goodness sake - don’t spill your warm cider on the war map. The bells are ringing. The razes are singing. Let the festive carnage begin. In the spirit of merry times during the 24th December to 1st Janaury there we will be a rotating global modifier affecting all players.

Festive Boost Week (global rotating buff): Each day between 24 Dec – 1 Jan, apply one global modifier from a short list. This list will be hidden, but could include (not limited to):

+20% Income
+20% BE
+30% Production
-25% Training Cost

Core Mechanics & Modifications
Unique Abilities (UA)

Cooldowns reduced to 23 Days (was 24).
Any activated ability with a duration of 1 Day now lasts 2 Days.
Any Unique Ability that provides a bonus to the province as a result of a successful attack:
If the attacker is at war, the target must be in the kingdom they are at war with for the ability bonus to trigger.
Bonuses cannot stack — if triggered again, the duration simply renews (e.g., 3 Days left on +Sabotage Damage → now 6 Days left, not double the bonus).
Keep in mind the definition of “Successful Attack.”
These bonuses appear on your Throne page, similar to spells, with a countdown timer.
Enemies viewing your SoT/CB can also see these active bonuses.

War Declarations
When attempting to declare war against a Kingdom that is less networth than your Kingdom, the target Kingdom must be considered in-range for both land and net worth to be a war candidate.

New Out-of-War Attack Penalties When targeting a kingdom that is less than 85% of both your Land and Networth, the following modifiers apply:

Battle Gains: –10%
Military Casualties: +10%
Honor Gains: –25%

War Bounty
When defeating a Kingdom that was > 10% larger in Networth at war declaration, the victor gains +30% additional Honor and +10% Science Books
