All Games Reset (16th Sept 2012) - Includes Changelog

[Kaz]

I've been meaning to do this for a couple of weeks.

As soon as I post this, I will start the process of resetting all 3 games. This reset will take a bit longer than usual because a lot of code changes are also going to happen.

There has been some testing done on these new changes for the last month or two, but there may well be a few bugs that slipped through the net.

[Kaz]

I am almost ready to put the games live again.

The random races for this age will include the new Fae race in all games :

conquest = ALL
bloodbath = Centaur & Fae
domination = Vampire & Fae

Fae have been added in order to ensure consistency between the roleplay and troop types of Sidhe. Those of you who pick a random race and end up with Sidhe, will find that the names of your troop types have been changed. Other than that, the stats and strengths are as you would expect. The old Sidhe troop names (along with a couple from elsewhere) are now in the Fae race.

There have also been a couple of changes to the troop names for Elemental. Elemental troops are now all fire/smoke/shadow, Fae troops include water and wind elementals. Droben are the only rock/earth elementals now.

Edited the troop types for Sidhe

T1. Spellswords - Sidhe who specialise in weapons and offensive magic
T2. Enchanters - Sidhe who specialise in enchantments
T3. Shamens - Sidhe who specialise in natural and healing magic
T4. High Mages - Sidhe who are masters of sorcery and greater magic
T5. Tricksters - Sidhe who specialise in illusionary magic and can hide themselves from the senses of other sidhe

Summon (Angelique) : Magical Spellswords
