I doubt utopia was built on top of the pomisance engine since it's from swirve. | ||

Just for your information, don't make more than ONE ACCOUNT. There's a script that auto kills all countries who log on with the same ip. If you and your brother for isntance play the game on seperate accounts with the same ip, message wrath of god (the purple admin account) explaining your situation so you dont get banned. This game is really chaotic and aggressive so find alliances FAST! | ||

Here's a snippet from the spell casting one: Crystal Ball Returns strategic information on your enemy's empire. Fireball Destroys 3% of your enemy's military units. Spell Shield Reduces damage from spells by 2/3. Storms Destroys 9.12% of your enemy's food and 12.65% of their cash. Lightning Strike Destroys 3% of your enemy's Mana Wrath of Demons Destroys 3% of every of your enemy's buildings as long as they have at least 15 of that type. Cornucopia Creates (Wizards * health * 70 * (1 + (Mage Towers/Land) * (Racial_Magic_Bonus)))/30 Grains. This value is also multipled by an empire size modifier -- increasing ammounts for smaller empires, decreasing for larger. Tree of Gold Creates (Wizards * health * 70 * (1 + (Mage Towers/Land) * (Racial_Magic_Bonus))) dollars. This value is also multipled by an empire size modifier -- increasing ammounts for smaller empires, decreasing for larger. Open Time Gate Opens a gate into the other time periods. Close Time Gate Closes an open time gate to other time periods. Magic User Fight Does battle with your magic users. If successful, you gain 7% of their occupied land, 10% of their undeveloped land, lose 9% of your Wizards, and destroy 6% of your enemy's Wizards. If unsuccessful, you suffer a 10% loss and your enemy suffers a 5% loss. Embezzlement Steals 10% - 15% of your enemy's cash and gives it to you. Advance to Next Era Advances you from the past to present or present to future. | ||

Your goblins are supposed to fight like 5 year old girls. There was a thread about this, how many 5 year olds can you take down in a sealed room? Well it turns out that everyone underestimates the 5 year olds. In all honesty, my growth is nothing special, as people get more experienced they'll figure out how to attack and defend more efficiently, making it much more dificult for temps and I to grow as fast. Since temps and I are the only ones who have a bit of experience playing, we're usually head and shoulders above the competition, as our attack logs note, we rarely hit on others but each other. Temps was 8 mill networth this morning after he knocked me down to 6 mill and stole half my land, people started msging me about it so I spent my turns and got it right back. Depending on who spent their turns last, will determine which one of us is ahead of the other. Don't worry, by the time the server reset rolls around friday the competition for #1 will be much stiffer, and I doubt i'll even b top 5 since I have no alliances and everyone's out to get me. | ||

BTW, that snippet does not include any stats on what is required or the mechanics behind era changing. It also, (and the whole rest of the help section) does indicate exactly what health does. That is why I asked those 2 questions. Can you ask your friend? Since he did not write it anywhere in his help section... | ||

My friend didn't write this game, it's OPEN SOURCE, he's just running it on his server, excellent documentation is included about everything, I don't know how come you can't find the [game guide] link on every page. Health is your readiness to fight. %90 health means your army fights at %90 efficiency. The rest of the spell page explains EXACTLY what the formula is and the exact ratios your need to cast every single spell. Every page has a game guide link that explains everything in detail. | ||

the more troops you have, the more it costs per turn. if you keep about 1/3rd markets out of total land then you should be making money. | ||

I'm not sure how the server reset is going to work on friday. The changes we want to make will take a bit of coding and I won't have a second of spare time to work on it until thursday night assuming I don't go out. I doubt temps (what a lazy bum!) will mod anything either. If I can get some free time at stage tommorrow I can start coding, but don't count on it. I have to rebuild an entire schema that got corrupted the awesomepossum account has been unfrozen for your attacking pleasure. I won't be playing it anymore, so feel free to rob it blind for the land. | ||

the spells help section has utility spells mixed with attack spells, subsequently giving the wrong ratios and making it needlessly confusing. | ||

I'm looking into that, I'm playing a pure mage and looking for bugs, balance issues, etc. Attack spells are mixed in with utility spells because they both need to meet a certain ratio to successfully work. Attack spells then have additional calculations to determine if they work against an opponent. I do agree though, it is very confusing. To cast offensive spells they'll only show up on the bottom of the war page and utility spells only on the the spell page. I think I've found a big issue with casting advanced utility spells, like abusing "time hopping" and gates by only needing 1 wizard to successfully cast them. If anyone else has stumbled across any bugs please pm me. | ||

It seems almost random if my spells will work sometimes I will cast the same spells like 10 times in a row and they will work then with no extra land or loss in wizards/health I will try casting the same spell just for it too fail repeatedly mabey iam just missing something. Time gate is a utility spell. Your chance to cast it successfully depends on how many wizards you have per tower, or whatever the hell building produces them. | ||

Well, race switching strategies don't work in this game as far as I know (but feel free to prove me wrong, hehe) so you shouldn't switch period. The beta is almost up, so you're better off not switching at all. Remember, all races can reach number one, even the seemingly useless goblins | ||

Sure you get more mages per turn, but you need a hell of a lot more mages to cast anything properly. Try this, make %10 of you land towers, after 100 turns, eliminate half of your towers. You should be able to cast all the harder spells now. | ||
