December 2012 - Attack weapon damage reduction

A discussion was had about having less damage done to weapons when attacking much weaker opponents, discussed HERE for details.
. As a result, the following re-work was implimented to hopefully make attack weapon damage less when farming weaker accounts.
The following change was implimented:

• When attacking opponents with a defence 90-100% of your attack power, you take 100% normal weapon damage.
• When attacking opponents with a defence 40-90% of your attack power, you take 50-100% normal weapon damage respectivly.
• When attacking opponents with a defence 0-40% of your attack power, you take 50% normal weapon damage.

July 2012 - Covert Re-Work

A discussion was had about the seemingly over-powered covert attacks, discussed HERE for details.
. As a result, the following re-works were implimented to hopefully make attacks more useful, and covert attack less over-powered
The following changes were implimented:

• Defenders can now see what weapons are destroyed in sabotage attacks against them.
• Defenders how have a 10% chance of discovering the enemy if their covert power is at least half the enemies cover power
• Covert and AntiCovert power have been reduced to about 1/4th what they used to be
• Successful sabotage attempts (covert power up to 2x the enemies AC) will result in a 0-5% loss of spies sent
• Successful sabotage attempts (covert power more than 2x the enemies AC) will have a 0-5% loss of spies send, with a chance (increasing the higher you are, up to 50%) of loosing 25% of your spies send (there can only be so many spies in a realm without arousing suspicion.
• Failed sabotage attempts will result in 50% of the attackers spies being killed by the enemy.
• If the weapons are so low, that 2% loss would result in no weapon loss, but you have covert power difference more than the weakest weapons strength, you will always destroy at least one weapon

June 2012 - New Market System

An open market system has now been unleashed on the game.
You can trade with other players, but will not know whom you are trading with. Will it be friend, or foe...

Also, the more trades you complete, the more trade slots you have to put up.
The number only counts if you trade more than your daily Unit Prodiction. This works as follows:

• Start off with 2 trade slots
• Complete 4 trades of exchanges over your UP, 3 trade slots
• Complete 9 MORE trades (13 total) of exchanges over your UP, 4 trade slots
• Complete 16 MORE trades (29 total) of exchanges over your UP, 5 trade slots

Feb 25th, 2009 - Covert Mission Changes

Costs to recon missions have been reduced for all sides.
• Attackers may loose either 0-5 percent on a successful mission or 5-10 percent on a failed mission (down by 5 percent from 5-10 and 10-15).
• Defenders percents have also been lowered by 5 to match those of the new attacking percents.
The chances of being detected during a successful recon mission have also been reduced by 15 percent.

Recon mission reports have been adjusted.
• Now show both covert and anti covert skill and units.
Sabotage has now been adjusted as well.
• a 5 percent chance to be detected during a sabotage despite your relative covert strengths, this 5 percent chance is only active so long as your target has more than 5 anti covert units trained.
