Prelude: World 14

[TwentyThree]

• Backwater: Decreased max effects from 24% to 6%.
• Center of Learning: Decreased max effects from 15% to 6%
• Fecund Earth: Decreased max effects from 30% to 6%
• Founding Mythos: Decreased max effects from 30% to 15%
• Gamekeeping: Decreased max effects from 45% to 15%
• Heraldic Swan: Decreased max effects from 225% to 150%
• Land of Milk & Honey: Decreased max effects from 15% to 6%
• Local Cuisine: Decreased max effects from 15% to 4.5%
• Marriage of the Sea: Decreased fish quality bonus from 45% to 15%. The speed bonus effect to ships now applies to all ships while actually in the Realm, rather than always to ships built in the Realm. Ships in the realm now travel (up to) 24% faster, quite simply.
• Mountain Tradition: Decreased max effects from 15% to 3%
• Myth of the Bull: Decreased max effects from 30% to 6%. (Update text: Specific animals -> Livestock)
• Woodland Realm: Decreased tree/bush growth speed bonus from 15% to 3%. Decreased quality bonus to forest animals and forage from 7.5% and 15% to 6% flat.

Wouldn't it be better to reconsider bonuses or remove kingdoms at all? They are pretty useless with new values, but still idols and menhirs are hella expensive to build.
I mean, kingdom requires goal to exists, people maintaining kingdom need a goal to go for, kingdom dwellers need a reason to stay in kingdom or otherwise help enemy kingdom to take their territory.
With this changes kingdoms would be worthless to put efforts into, and to fight for provinces.

I'd agree, but when I consider the sheer effort people put into different games for, like, a 3% buff, this is still worth all the work. Especially if everybody pitches in somehow.

Still mandatory buffs, nothing has really changed just smaller numbers

True for ores, for instance, if only qualities will be equalized, otherwise absolutely worthless when you can find both 100 and 500q ore in lvl 9.

Still mandatory buffs, nothing has really changed just smaller numbers

They even wasn't mandatory before

Still mandatory buffs yes but something very key has changed.

Now the buffs won't propel you forward nearly as far, nearly as quick.... Mandatory, but less relevant is still better than Mandatory and more relevant.

Start world 14 in winter.

Trust me.

No, why the fuck would you want this? 800 of the 1000 players will quit on day one and the world will be dead from the start.

old graphics please

Plus, you know, the whole idea of prepping for winter would be useless. The first winter is always the hardest to prepare for. And people wouldnt be able to prepare a cellar for iceblocks their first winter, gotta have those sorbet's man. Summer is hot.

old graphics please

They would have to come up with like 1000+ models and textures for all of the new stuff in Hafen and the old graphics were worse
