Now, if<br>the twar is an adjusted level twar, then the value of a kil<br>is flat out assumed to be worth 20 points (what was 19+1).  This<br>reduces the point value for +10 wars from 29 points per kill<br>to 20.<br><br>Secondly, winners of a twar used to get twice their level in bonus<br>points just for surviving.  So, again, in a +10 war that would be<br>(19+10)*2.  That has also been reduced to a flat +20*2 (duh, 40).<br><br>These two bove changes do NOT take effect if it is a normal level<br>twar, but since no one plays those, that doesn't really matter now,<br>does it?<br><br>Thirdly, I have completely redone the algorithm that balances<br>teams.  It's considerably more complex now than it used to be and <br>instead of just being based on this week's twar<br>score for this character it's based on many things including <br>character age, level, twarscore, and some values from ALL of your<br>characters.  Yes, that means veteran players who create new characters<br>to twar with for the first time will have a higher ranking (internally)<br>than a true newbie but that's precisely what we were going for.<br>Nettika divised this algorithm and I approve of it for testing.<br><br>Finally, given all the decrease total point values of high<br>twars now I have increased the EXP value of points by 50% (OMG!)<br>and money by 50% or something similar... i can't recall :).<br>So that of course means that low level twars (19+1) are now<r>worth a lot more and 19+10 twars are probably worth close to<br>what they were before.<br><br> - Razzy.<br><br><br><br>[[Category:Changes_Board]]
