Only thing I wonder about is sentry. You only need 1/1.3 sentry spy ratio to sab? And you can get a 40% spy boost by going elves, but no way to boost sentry. RIP losing sabbers xD

I'm reading that differently.
If it's 1:1.3 that means you can only sab people 1.3x your spy. So if I have 100B sentry, someone would need 76.92B to sab me. At 1:1.6, they'd need 62.5B and at the end of Beta with 1:2 you'd only need 50B. The chance acts almost like a 53.8% universal boost to sentry with respect to sabs (obviously not for recons/scanning).
Also the elf boost dropped a tad. So overall it's easier to lose sabbers everything else being equal.

Same. I looked and had 2,500 Gold and 2,021 turns or something, and then I refreshed and had 2,001 turns and 180 Gold. I haven't get a chance to buy anything, lol.

With 100m spy you could sab up to 200m.
Now with the 1/1.3 ratio you would need 110m spy before going elves and being able to sab 200m sentry (200/1.3 = 153.85 153.85/1.4 = 109.89) Even without the sentry bonus sentry is more powerful.
Overall the races seem pretty balanced now, only the undead kinda suck. I already used my first race change lol

Is this a text bug or has this in the meantime been changed?

max should be 12800. Most likely it is a typo
50 => 100 => 200 => 400 => 800 => 1600 => 3200 => 6400 => 12800

Start of Age Package
Race Bonuses
Upgrades, Clicking & Misc
Attacking
Sabotage & Recon
Changes have been made in literally all 5 so far:
No more 5m starting gold,
Number of bonuses changed from 2 to 1 per race,
A new spy upgrade was added halfway,
Attack turns count was off at first,
Unlimited commander changes for a week,
....
Now don't get me wrong, it's good that stuff is changing and happening, and definitely appreciate all the hard work from you guys.
My criticism is relatively simple though: didn't we just have a half year of beta to correctly implement these changes? I was not expecting any major changes, so I adapted my tactics to the description of the situation. I am not really that salty about the 5m starting gold removal, but for me that one in particular was a major change. The additional covert level for me (#1 spy at the time) was a pretty big deal as well. I would not even have noticed if someone didn't tell me.
If stuff is not critically broken in a 'real' era, I suggest leaving it and let players work with the new reality (even if different than planned on beforehand). Now it feels like we're actually playing a second beta round.

The starting gold was removed due to a bug not removing the gold when players did not spend it. We could not continue to let certain players gain an advantage so it was removed.
Race bonus changes were changed at the start of the age in the break between the age end and restart. I did state that what was in the beta was not all going to go into the first Era.
Same with your last 2 points. The changes were tested on the test server before the game started and unfortunately some changes didn’t work as they should. With ash having work commitments all changes/bugs were fixed when it was possible and when we were told about them.
The Era 1 code has been archived and saved and we are now working on Era 2. No more changes will be made to Era 1 unless absolutely needed (clicking still needs a tweak).
I also did state that bugs/changes would be fixed when needed. Sure we would have liked a perfect start but things happen. Atleast we are able to fix them now.
The new spy upgrade was also implemented in the downtime for some reason it didn’t function as it should so it was fixed because it was a bug.

I would also suggest getting 100% facts as well please, any of those can be countered perfectly legit;
No more 5m starting gold - Removed due to a glitch - glitch fixed (check)
Number of bonuses changed from 2 to 1 per race - Please be aware of prior updates before Era starts, this was posted 12 hours before the new Era....
A new spy upgrade was added halfway - There was always meant to be 16 levels and 1 week into a 3 month age is not half way. - glitch fixed (check)
Attack turns count was off at first - Another glitch - glitch fixed (check)
Unlimited commander changes for a week - Another glitch. - glitch fixed (check)
-- 4 Glitches fixed in a span of 5 days. Normally these *never* get fixed.
Next time, we will leave it full of glitches and bugs for everyone to abuse willingly. We are sorry you feel that way but also suggest you take more notice. Most complaints/feedback we have received is 70% due to players not realising where changes are posted or prior updates are listed.
We have GUA; Current
Changelog; https://www.kingsofchaos.com/changelog.php (also posted on main page)
IRC, Discord & Whatsapp; Always updates are posted.
We are extremely transparent.
Nothing else *will* change during this Era *unless it is a bug, glitch or a fault in the code that needs to be rectified*.

I know the reasoning for changing the clicking, since this is not a Beta and it wasn't a bug/exploit it shouldn't have been done until next Era

It was a bug, every age there is always an issue with the recruiter/clicking. This era it was meant to be 2x and it was bugged and needed fixing. Mind you if we had to wait for previous admins to fix the issue it would have taken a while or even not fixed at all.
Also we are not midway through this era, we are less than 2 weeks into it so it was a bug that we actually had time to fix and make right.

I really like the low Unit Production and shocked no ranker yet complained (likely because we're too early in the age/era and no wars yet), as a noob raider I needed 5K at least to sustain in wars and that's not going to happen even when you Max click daily.
Great stuff and I cannot wait for a good war to test this but there will be tears for sure I guess. =)

I really loooove how the "recon again" button after a failed recon is on the exact same spot as the "Raid" button is when you hit the 25 a day limit. So there you are hitting recon a few times in a row (and failing to get a successful recon) and then suddenly you hit the daily limit and you raid the player...

great idea. have the buttons do stuff that is not what they say .. eg: the raid button actually does a recon, the attack button actually does a raid. the recon button does a sab, etc. then change them for tomorrow. the send one spy, actually sends 25. the send a message button will delete your account. great chaos.

I mentioned this in the Public Recruiters forum, but I think it was the wrong place. (Sorry about that!)
Just came back after (10....15 years?!) break from the game after having a dream about Kings of Chaos (I'm not kidding) and pleasantly surprised to see part of the community going strong. And no less, my favourite sab-meistro Bon has now taken over the game and wants to usher it into a glorious new era (or at least keep it alive and kicking for the wonderful community...truly..I'm delighted and actually happy about playing again hearing this news).
However, who's bright idea was it to replace the recruiter icons with LETTERS?! Like...who do I have to beg to in order to get this changed. I used to find clicking so therapeutic and now it just drives me insane. Particularly since the C and O and N and H look so similar. I spend like 10 times as much time 'clicking' as I do selecting pictures of fire hydrants. Can we please change it back to the numbers as it was before? If I understand correctly, there is no longer an infinite clicking environment and instead you just click through the list twice and you're done. Given this change in click culture, can we also revert back to the numbers...please....for this old timer? ;_;

Can we at least have N, H, O and C removed and replaced with F, L and X? ^_^;
I think a few morons using auto clickers for a few thousand links is probably worth the comfort for the masses playing fair. I just want my therapeutic click-sessions back please :<3:

No matter, I shall fight for clicking justice! I hear we have new owners now and that any of our dreams are possible.
Bon, I beg of you, lets find a better captcha set for clicking (preferrably back to numbers
)
