Hello fellow Mytheans,
Welcome to the Age of Gambit!
This age brings important performance improvements, gameplay fixes and a first look at Mythea’s developing new interface.
Here is everything you need to know about the Age of Gambit.
Improved Server Performance
A major focus has been reducing server lag during periods of heavy activity, particularly at the beginning of wars.
Several significant improvements have been made behind the scenes:
- Faster access to game data through a new in-memory cache
- Fewer processing locks, allowing more player actions to run simultaneously
- Earlier release of locks after actions are completed
- Optimised database queries
- A new event-sourcing system that should process changes more efficiently and provide a clearer audit trail for resolving problems
Server performance will continue to be monitored throughout the age, with further improvements made where needed.
Servants and Sitting
Players will no longer be able to sell or aid Servants while sitting another province.
Servants are now linked properly to individual player accounts, and interacting with them while sitting could produce unexpected results. If you need to manage your Servants, you must first stop sitting.
Rebuild Stance
The rebuild cooldown now has its own dedicated timer.
This timer will be displayed on the Kingdom page, making it much easier to see exactly when the rebuild stance will become available again.
Kingdom Influences Fix
An issue that incorrectly added extra thievery power to operations through Kingdom Influences has now been fixed.
A big thank you to Sephiroth for persistently reporting and helping to identify this problem.
Race, Personality and Advisor Changes
Following player feedback, there will be no general race or personality balancing changes this age.
There is, however, one change to the Halfling advisor, the Loyal Servant. Its minimum operation success rate of 25% could make an opponent’s high TPA far less effective than intended.
This bonus has therefore been removed and replaced with:
−25% Thief Cost
Ranking Charts
The new ranking charts are undergoing final validation and are expected to be released before the beginning of the age.
Try the New Mythea Interface
A new version of the Mythea game interface is now ready for wider testing.
It is still under development, but it has reached a stage where players can begin using it and providing feedback. You can try it here:
Help Us Find Bugs
If you encounter a bug or experience any problems during the age, please report them through one of the following channels:
- The Development Forum
- A private message to Admin
- The Mythea Discord server
Problems can only be investigated and fixed once they have been reported, so please provide as much information as possible.
