Age 6 - 'Balance of Power'
Age 6 is titled 'Balance of Power'. It will begin at 12 AM, Wednesday, November 26, 2008.
Changes from Age 5.
Hero Changes
- Archmages now act as triple their level when casting spells (instead of double their level)
- Thieves now act as triple their level when spying (instead of double their level)
- Merchant's at-home economy bonus has been boosted to 25% from 20%
- Paladins that are at home now give a +25% casualty reduction, up from +10%
- The Strength and Vitality attributes are now less effective at low levels and more effective at high levels. They now obey the following equation:
- 7*(attribute points)^1.62
- Hero starting stats have been altered. They will now be as follows:
- Archmage: 2 strength, 4 vitality, 8 knowledge, 10 wisdom
- Merchant: 2 strength, 8 vitality, 4 knowledge, 10 economics
- Paladin: 8 strength, 4 vitality, 2 knowledge, 10 wielding
- Thief: 5 strength, 5 vitality, 5 knowledge, 10 thievery
God Changes
- Frey's god power now increases farm food production by 15 per 1,000 GP, down from 20 per 1,000 GP
- Thor no longer receives 2 free points of Strength per level, and instead starts with 2 levels of Discipline.

- The iron ore cost of Frigg's handmaidens has been reduced to 400 from 500
- Fenrir now gets a +5% population bonus
- Jormungandr's Leviathans now gain 5 offensive power per 1,000 GP, up from 4 last age
Miscellaneous Changes
- Items only hang around the kingdom marketplace for 72 hours now, down from 7 days
- Attackers can find 1 to 2 attribute points when attacking now, similar to how explorers can find attribute points when exploring
- Experience gains from exploration have been tweaked. They are now much higher when your city is small and much lower when your city is large (compared to previous ages).
- Divine Learning's effectiveness has been doubled
- Gefjun's Blessing now increases population growth rate by 3%, up from 2% last age
- Also, I will really really try to get more quests in the game this age. I'll be posting on the suggestions forum a bit over the next couple days.
- Finally, I'll be doing a bit of advertising this age. Be nice to the newbies ;)
- The research area "Intelligence" has had its name changed to "Discipline"
