The new Magic Victory Rework focuses on the binding of Golden Ancient Wonders to eventually cast the Age of Affinity Spells. Tier 3 tomes now require 3 Affinity Points to be unlocked.This means that players can choose more lower level tomes without slowing down their progress towards higher level tomes.
Instead of needing 2 tomes of the previous tier, you just need a certain number of tomes of any tier. Different skills inside of a tome can still differ in cost as they did previously. This adds a modifier on the knowledge cost.
Individual skills in a Tome now have a skill level (Adept, Intermediate or Expert). Every Tome afterwards has an additional +1000 knowledge cost per skill. 1st Tome, General Research and Culture Research: 250. The base knowledge cost of skills for tomes are as follows:. The general Knowledge cost of Tome skills is increased, especially near the mid and late game Tomes. Every new Tome you unlock will have an increased knowledge cost of skills compared to the Tome before, regardless of what Tier the Tome or the skill is. Instead of the tier of the skill determining the cost, the knowledge cost is now based on the amount of Tomes you have collected so far. The way knowledge costs are determined for skills in Tomes has changed. Please keep letting us know what you think of the game and what you want to see come next, your comments are always welcome!
