Game Changes

Submitted by Kol on Thu, 04/21/2011 - 00:44

The changes put in two days ago, all of which resulted from player requests, are:

  • 5 kingdoms per user allowed in Trood.  Don't forget, they all go in a single user account.  No person is allowed more than one user account except deity exceptions, which have to be asked for and don't appy to Trood anyway.
  • GM messages should now last 45 days since the last edit before they get deleted.  Previously it was 14 days.
  • Spy mods for several races changed.  This was mostly people thought halflings should spy better, and I agree completely.  I moved some others around that seemed odd.  New and (old) mods are:  Halflings: 3.4 (1.6), Gnolls: 2.5 (5.0), Gnomes: 1.1 (1.5), Leprechauns: 2.5 (1.0).
  • Dark elves can now sap themselves even when they are fully spell-abused by outside parties.  The sap turns into a Drain, as usual.

Changes from a couple of weeks ago, all of which were also the result of player input, are:

  • Vampire resistance to Heal, Divine Prayer, and Resurrection were increased.
  • Werewolf resistance to Purgatory was decreased.  It is still higher than Vampires' resistance to the spell, but now lower than for other races.
  • Resistance to Sirens' Call and Warp Lightning was reduced.
  • Amount of land gained in military attacks was reduced somewhat.
  • The radio button for OM purchases was moved to the left to make it more compatible with play on mobile devices.
  • Mana Sap and Mana Drain can now be done on allies without giving a retal, but Mana Sap is turned into Mana Drain when done this way.  Mana Sap on yourself or allies from a scroll or artifact is turned into Mana Drain, so you can't battery mana that way.

The server went down due a bug of Gaea's Love. Somebody used it without any food and caused a division by zero. This has been fixed. The following gnome changes have been suggested by Fang. Blame him, not me, if you are affected in a negative way.

  • Gnomes produce war machines at 200% base instead of 300%.
  • Gnome food mod has been reduced to 1.7 (instead of 2).
  • Gaea's Love has a cap of 5 food per population.
  • The gnomisch Gaea's presence special now only uses 1/10 the mana.
  • Bugfix for Gaea's Love that resulted in division by zero.
  • Small layout change (bars).

The following updates just happend in the gameserver:

  • Fix to allow Sunki reset
  • Fix for bug caused by duration CA/CW found in the unknown, which prevented kingdoms from moving
  • Dark Rituals now works correctly from artifacts, scrolls, and your own mana.  The spell is intended only to give mana up to your population, which is generally useful for low-mana races.
  • The power of spells coming out of artifacts with duration greater than one is now corrected; previoulsy artifacts had the same power per turn regardless of the duration used in the artifact.
  • Mana Sap was removed as a backfire from artifacts.
  • Weapons and Armor now cost half as much gold to build.
