Næste age er på vej og Mehul satser på at starte den ca. midt i januar. Den 11. Utopia age vil ikke bringe de store gameplay ændringer med sig, men en derimod en masse tweaks.
Blandt andet vil Honor systemet få en orden overhaling selv om Mehul mener at det skal være en mulighed først at gå efter Honor og derefter nw/land.


The next age will likely begin mid-to-late January, so we wanted to start getting feedback on areas that need work for the next round. This round will most likely feature mostly changes in game balance, rather than an array of new features and such. We would like to add a few new spells and/or thievery operations, though.

There are obviously several basic areas of gameplay: Economics, War, Magic, Thievery, Building balance, Honor, Race balance, etc. Please feel free to post areas that you think need work and any suggestions you may have.

Specifically on Honor, many people have complained about the loopholes and such. A new system has to be developed for gaining / losing honor, and the bonuses will have to be changed (specifically, the Population bonus). However, the concept is exactly what we had envisioned. Instead of simply playing for Networth, players have shown this round that its possible to play for Honor, which then can be used to build networth in the long-run. What we now have to do is ensure that people only get Honor for taking risks and accomplishing something. (For example, only giving honor if you attack someone 90% of your size with a regular attack, etc)

Since we’re still in the early stages here, we’ll primarily listen to your feedback right now and then come up with a list of potential areas and changes we feel are appropriate. To us, just as important as the specific suggestions are the logic that they are based on.

Many users have posted great suggestions and ideas over the past two months. However, we tend not to focus on these ideas until late in a round to see how everything plays out. Please feel free to re-post some of your older ideas to get discussions flowing again.

Thanks,
Mehul


Da Mehul ønsker massere af feedback så er det jo med at komme i gang. Frem med alle guldkorne.
