Thanks to the simplicity of the mechanics for siege weapon bonuses, I was able to make a [plain] observation of the spy level values.  Your CA value is based on this:  1 point per spy.  This is then multiplied by 2^spylevel.  So...if you have 3 spies and level 3 spy skill, your CA is 24.  Simple enough...unless you're an elf.  Then you can add 25%.  This may seem ordinary...but if you spy on someone, you can now [easily] figure out their CA, even though you didn't get it in the report.  Sorry if this takes the magic out of watching that number balloon...

Did you already post in the new members thread?  If no, better do it and formally declare your existence.

Ah, of course, that makes perfect sense...thanks! Smiley  I was wondering why my CA was hard to figure out, but I forgot that I was an elf, so I have 25% more...at least now I can calculate what I'll get next time I upgrade...

Oh, and Kingneb1000 already did post in the new members thread...I saw him there...:cool:

104,000?  Sweet!  Hope I can get that eventually...That means that someone needs CA 10, and more than 100 spies...Shocked

I think 3 months, but we all know Age1 lasted way over the time planned!  We'll just have to wait and see.  Cheesy

I don't think Age 2 will last only 3 months. If that were the case the makers would be working on it as we speak. Getting a site like this to work perfectly with no bugs take a lot of time and they can't really start on  new age if this one isn't working properly. They are going to keep fixing bugs and stuff until it runs as smooth as possible, then start work on the next age.

Just my opinion.
