For a complete listing of kingdom changes with this release, reference all 32 kingdom setups at the forum post "MMXXII - Maelstrom in 2022" with the topic "New Kingdom Setups". Here's the link:  https://kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/show...3#pid80883

New Trait:

Evil
Most complex trait in the game, may summon undead troops, troop maintenance at 25% discount, Rule of Law cost is 0, conquered pop centers provide extra food/gold bonus, kingdom reactions lowered to hostile when evil initially controls a region, etc. More information provided on the kingdom setup.

New Wizard Balancing:

Wizard Level Progression
Raising a wizard to a higher level now uses a flat base rate for all levels, plateau costs at three “premium” levels: pwr-3 costs +10,000 more gold, pwr-5 costs +30,000 more, and pwr-7 costs 60,000 more. Example at: http://www.kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/s...7#pid80877

Combat Spell Damage Reduction
Spell density, which increases spell damage based upon the target’s size, is dropped in favor of new combat spells that scale damage more appropriately for a wizard’s level. Example at: http://www.kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/s...9#pid80879

New Features:

Immortality
Only rulers and special figures (kings, queens, regents, consuls, demon princes) may become immortal. Some kingdoms are naturally immortal and stat the game as the undying eternal (e.g., Ancient Ones, Demon Princes, Fairy Queen). Rulers of other kingdoms may become immortal by reading a magical Scroll of Immortality (see Spell #525 Create Magic Item).

Immortality provides the primary benefit of being immune to agent assassinations. An immortal may be kidnapped, though they cannot be executed as prisoners. Any escape attempt by an immortal is always successful due to a guard being infatuated by the legendary figure.

Other powers of immortals are:
1) An immortal knows when another kingdom has attempted to enamor a region that he is substantial or better in
2) An immortal knows who sent a raven, agent recon, or scry (artifact or falconry) to a kingdom-controlled pop center
3) An immortal’s majestic presence allows wizards in their kingdoms to exceed their max assured limit by two levels
4) An immortal has a higher chance of escaping capture by an opposing military group when their capital falls (similar to a Secret Passages building effect)

Rare Resource: Mithril
The valuable and rare resource mithril may only be acquired through periodical “gold rush” events that become available throughout the game. Watch for Universal broadcast notices on your kingdom turn report that indicate that a new ore deposit was discovered by prospectors. The first five turns of the game will be somewhat weighted to trigger such an event, then normal chances for subsequent turns.

Every kingdom will start with at least 100 mithril ingots, however the Dwarven kingdom will start with 250 mithril ingots. This is to ensure that at least a minor scroll may be created during the course of the game with the new standardized 5th level spell: Create Magical Item. Every kingdom will also start with a number of miners/prospectors that are necessary to mine and collect the valuable mithril. The more miners/prospectors that your kingdom has, the more mithril that will be collected during these special events.

Whenever the relevant Universal broadcast message is shown on your turn report, you may move your miners/prospectors to the specified map area of the new deposit. Ore deposits may occur anywhere on the map, including water areas and those with an already constructed pop center (e.g., deposit was found underneath the city). An Universal broadcast message will be displayed when the ore deposit is depleted.

Mithril will be collected by your miners and deposited into your kingdom’s treasury vault during the food/gold production stage. The amount of mithril collected is determined by the number of your kingdom’s miners/prospectors.

All miners start the game at your capital and they may be moved up to 10 areas away with a special movement order (under the Kingdom tab). During an Ice Age, that range is reduced to 5 areas though double mithril is awarded. Beware, however, traveling across the land may be dangerous for the miners/prospectors health. Alamaze is a perilous realm of warring factions that may pose a threat to their survival (also, a stray Troll may eat them). Additional miners may be acquired through the order Hire New Emissary, and you may recruit as many of them as you like for your kingdom, if that is your strategy.

The benefits of mithril for your kingdom are many. Mithril may be melted down for its magical properties to craft items such as scrolls and artifacts. Under the work of a master craftsman, mithril may be refined to enhance your groups’ weapons and armor. Mithril may also become a requirement for constructing special high-end buildings and fortifications. Also, powerful spells that necessitate mastery of the arcane arts may require mithril as a spell component. Mithril is a rare and valuable resource. Use it wisely.

The amount of mithril that a kingdom will have at any given moment will be displayed in Section III Economics of your kingdom turn report. Your kingdom’s miners/prospectors and current map location will also be shown in that section. Mithril may be traded between kingdoms and may be stolen through theft, so you may want to take certain precautions into consideration regarding this valuable resource.

Relevant orders for mithril:
  #215 Unilateral Transfer
  #216 Trade Gold For Mithril
  #217 Trade Mithril For Gold
  #352 Move Miner/Prospector
  #510 Hire New Emissary (for more miners)
  #525 Create Magical Item
  #965 Steal Food/Gold/Mithril

Rare Resource: Gunpowder
Gunpowder is generated by having a Laboratory building constructed at a kingdom-owned pop center. The greater the number of Laboratories in the kingdom, the more gunpowder will be manufactured each turn. Gunpowder is used for crafting Explosive Devices that agents use to increase damage when sabotaging pop center defenses. Gunpowder is only available for the Alchemist wizard kingdom (e.g., Saruman using this explosive to damage Helm’s Deep wall).

Scrolls
Available for all kingdoms, scrolls may be crafted with the 5th level wizard spell, Create Magical Item (see below for more information), scrolls have instant effect when crafted (benefits are immediately applied).

Potions
Available only for the Alchemist kingdom, potions provide multiple benefits: Healing Salve (removes 5% attrition for all brigades in group), Poison Flask (damages another kingdom’s food supply by an extra 10% per flask), Preservation Jug (prevents all food spoilage), Rejuvenation Cream (fully restores High Priestess’ health).

Mithril Armor & Weapons
Provides bonus to offense/defense during battles, only available for Dwarves and Elves, replaces improved armor/weapons

• Scroll of Defense (+5,000 PC) – requires 1,500 mithril, adds to pc defense of group location
• Scroll of Escape (Wizard Avoids Assassins) – requires 1,500 mithril, casting wizard immune to all assassination attempts that turn
• Scroll of Insect Swarm (Regional Food) – requires 1,200 mithril, causes permanent -10% food production in all pop centers of group’s location/region

Quality: Special
• Scroll of Fabrication (Ballista Tower) – requires 2,000 mithril, constructs Ballista Tower to pc of group location, Ballista Tower benefits: +2,000 defense, removes bonus from flying attackers (e.g., Red Dragon +20% vs pc), and a brigade of ogres, trolls, or hill giants (lowest experience) is killed prior to combat due to the tower’s extreme missile range
• Scroll of Immortality (Ruler) – requires 5,000 mithril, ruler becomes permanently immune to death
• Scroll of Pot Luck (Random) – requires 500 mithril, random chance of receiving something beneficial (25% for 20,000 gold, 25% for 40,000 food, 25% for 1,500 mithril, 25% for +1 influence)

Modified Actions:

Modified spell: wall of flame (and pit fiend immolation) is no longer reduced with shield, anti-magic, and similar protections so damage is closer to 25% of opposing group strength

Modified spell: ward spell and resist magic trait will no longer prevent conjure prestige or enhance king’s aura (was interfering with increasing one’s own influence)

Modified trait: no duplicate artifacts are shown for turn 0 foreknowledge results

Modified order: following were changed to include mithril: unilateral transfer, hire figure (for mithril miners), agent steal food/gold/mithril

Modified order: agent recon report (at end of file) now displays brigade number and abbreviation (was just the number of brigades), not all troop types will be displayed however, those that remain hidden are special brigades like Chameleons as well as Wood Elves (in Forests)

Modified order: agent assassinate ldr/wiz and trail group no longer requires exact map location when going against hidden pc’s (just need to be 10+ level agent)

Modified order: ruler name change on turn 1 no longer counts towards your influence limit (now free like group transfers)

Deprecated order: flying with Order #727 (specify single map area, teleport 7 areas away) was removed from the game. All flying groups, either as natural flyers like dragons or enhanced with artifacts, are considered flying at all times. That means, you’ll have to specify a normal movement order rather than just a single map area as with the former Order #727, and terrain costs are calculated as normally in your movement order.

Cosmetic Improvements:

Added secondary kingdom image on title page

Split Section IV into two (one magic, other agents/misc)

Added new Seapower section for ship-to-ship battles, enhancements

Added new graphic images throughout to break up monotony and provide better clarity

In general, the kingdom turn report was upgraded with images to break up the monotony of reading the old "dot matrix" block of text for results. This makes the kingdom turn report easier to read and to improve its appearance.

                      913 learn regional reaction
                      914 learn king’s influence

2) Adjust Player Aid calculators – Red for less than 25% success, Orange for 25-66%, Yellow for 67-109%, and Green for 110+.

3) Treat fights on the water with a PC square as land fights (as Sea terrain), excluding the use of ships. Ships can still intercept against non-flying troops on the way to a water PC, but not against flying troops.

4) The Atlantean and Pirate kingdoms now have a special ability to automatically detect other kingdoms’ seapower in all seas. This will be listed on their kingdom turn report.

5) Uncap the number of ships on a sea. Allow people to build as many ships as they like, but only the first 12 give revenue with the merchant trading vessel (order #711).

6) The Revelation spell will have the following changes:
  • Not permitted before turn 20
  • Currently, a 6th level spell, will make it 8th level
  • Restricted for only Supremacy/Mastery magic trait kingdoms
  • The Revelation spell will still be available for Pagan games (where no divinations are allowed) to follow the same convention as for the Unveil Popcenter/Group spells (#751/858)
7) Remove the requirement of a Bazaar to build a Forge, Granary, Port, and Thieves Guild.

8) Remove the requirement of a Granary to build a Port. Port’s food/gold costs to construct the building are doubled.

9) Changes to the Immortal state of a ruler:
  • An agent with a weapon-classed artifact that successfully assassinates an Immortal will kill the Immortal. This will be similar to how an agent with a weapon-classed artifact can kill an immortal lich/wraith/nazgul figure. If the agent’s assassination attempt is successful against the Immortal, there is a 50% chance that the artifact is destroyed in the process.
  • The escape order for an Immortal hostage is no longer automatic, but has a +50% chance of success.
  • The +2 bonus to wizard development is removed for all Immortal kingdoms
10) Only Demon Princes, Ancient Ones, and the Fairy Queen start the game as Immortals.

11) Remove the Magic Susceptible (Battle) trait from the Tyrants.

12) Remove the requirement for specific leaders to recruit troops.

13) New order Remove Group Figure (Order #20) that allows the removal of leaders/wizards from a group early in the turn. This order will effectively kill the leaders/wizards for the kingdom. This new order will not count towards the order limit for the turn (much like the transfer orders).


Miscellaneous Changes:

1) Add red text on the GUI to indicate errors. Error messages are now displayed in a second window.

2) Expand the window of orders for improved visibility. Expanded downward.

3) For the online order entry website, a special order Add Fake Resources (Order #2) that will allow the user to enter expected gold income from trade or capturing PCs.

4) Change the rule of law that puts a tax on kings to instead give good and neutral kingdoms 0% (no tax) and evil kingdoms pay 10% (as a tax penalty).

5) New spell Teleport Figure (Spell #829) that allows wizards to teleport emissaries, agents, priestesses to a kingdom-owned popcenter. Only kingdom-owned figures may be teleported that are moveable (not Kings, Queens, Regents, Consuls, or Fools). Figure must be within 3 areas from the wizard’s group location in order to cast the spell. Moving the figure closer to the wizard’s group to be within 3 areas is possible in the same turn due to the execution order sequence (i.e. #350 or #720 executes before #829). Destination range is entire map but popcenter must be kingdom-owned (not sanctuary or grove). The teleporting figure will bypass and not be blocked by enemy groups residing at the popcenter (since the figure is being teleported). Note that slept, warded/blessed, or those with magic resistance/immunity will still be teleported by this spell, but not imprisoned figures. This may become a good combo with the Conceal Emissary spell.

6) Standing order changes: Increase the base standing orders by 2 for all kingdoms (from 4 to 6).

7) Increase Kingdom customization from 10 to 20 points Added a 3rd row on the order entry website page to accommodate the additional point total (otherwise, players won’t be able to reach their full 20 pts). However, due to Columns G thru J are only 2 characters wide, the customization codes were changed to be only 2 character wide as well. So, a code like C20 was converted to D1 or such.

Here is the current Orders file format regarding field widths. As everyone can see, accommodating up to 9 columns would put us in the 2-character wide lengths. So, the customization codes had to change.

  ORDERS_ORDER_NUM_LENGTH =  3
  ORDERS_COLUMN_A_LENGTH  = 20
  ORDERS_COLUMN_B_LENGTH  = 20
  ORDERS_COLUMN_C_LENGTH  = 20
  ORDERS_COLUMN_D_LENGTH  =  5
  ORDERS_COLUMN_E_LENGTH  =  6
  ORDERS_COLUMN_F_LENGTH  =  5
  ORDERS_COLUMN_G_LENGTH  =  2
  ORDERS_COLUMN_H_LENGTH  =  2
  ORDERS_COLUMN_I_LENGTH  =  2
  ORDERS_COLUMN_J_LENGTH  =  2

8) The Glyph of Protection defense bonus is increased from 7,000 to 15,000


Map (Snapshot) Changes:

1) The kingdom icon for controlled regions will become more transparent and easier to see.

2) A new icon will be displayed for Mithril mines when they appear on the map.

3) Whenever an artifact is discovered by a kingdom (e.g., high priestess divination), that information will be displayed in a new section on the kingdom turn report.


Troop and Faction Changes:

1) New order Disband Group (Order #30) will remove all leaders, wizards, troops, and artifacts from a group and convert it into an empty and inactive group. The disband order will kill off and destroy these items from the game., though artifacts are transferred to the capital. This new order will not count towards the order limit for the turn (much like the transfer orders).

2) The number of troop types within a group will increase from 10 to 15 slots.

3) The number to recruit companion brigades will increase from 3 to 7 brigades per turn (total among all groups).

4) Decrease leader promotions by 25% (less likely to advance to a higher level).

5) Legendary Castles are now limited to only 2 per region.

6) The Magic Resist (Battle) kingdom trait was changed from 33% resistance to being a 33% reduction in harmful magic spell damage (not reducing it to zero during battle).


Other Items:

1) Deathknight kingdom plague ability is adjusted to 10% census loss if 7+ kingdom named brigades exist in the group. Message now shows the number of civilians killed to reflect the deadliness of the evil plague. [Also changed the text message for the magical regional spells of Famine, Bounty, Plague, Raise Census to do the same]

2) Forgotten kingdom adjustments:
  • Beholder eye beams raised to Lvl 5 (turns 0-9), Lvl 10 (turns 10-19), Lvl 15 (turns 20-29), Lvl 20 (turn 30+)
  • Reduce the emissary rebel/usurp penalty from -15% to -5%
  • Spells added to kingdom: Cold Darkness, Plague, Famine
      [Yes, that's a 20th level eye beam attack from turn 30. Good luck all!]

3) Lycan kingdom adjustments: troop gain is limited to 3 brigades per battle

4) Troop brigade experience bonuses are reduced: Elite from 75% to 40%, Veteran from 25% to 15%.

5) Giant kingdom loses traits Dynasty, Seafaring, Trackers

6) Lycan kingdom loses trait Magic Resist (Death)

7) Removal of Cunning trait from non-agent style kingdoms (Cimmerians, Gnome, Illusionist, Free Traders, Lizard Men, Nomad)

8) Added Dynasty trait to Elven kingdom

9) Reduce all mithril costs from spell 525 to be reduced in half to make them more affordable.

10) Corrected Conceal Emissary spell (# 349) to match its spell description (in that only kingdom-specific figures may be concealed by this spell, not other kingdoms)

11) Added name of the ruling noble that was assassinated than just saying, “A Ruler was assassinated”. Same for captured (group conquering a pc), kidnapped, or killed (execute hostages). Immortals are noted as such as well. The reason for this change is to engage the players more within the game’s events that are outside their control, in that other events are happening around them as well. Besides, a ruling noble within the realm would be famous enough that word of his/her demise would get around.

12) Added the new Old Man Games, LLC logo. Also, changed all the Enlightened Age Entertainment names on the order entry website to Old Man Games, LLC.

13) Added influence value on Political page of order entry website.

14) Updated the Rulebook (latest version at v1.8)
