778 Information Piece: Wulin Arrives (1/2)

Chapter 778 – Information Piece: Wulin Arrives

Based on the setting by Gaia, a Grade 1 Prefecture could have five sect dojos, a Grade 2 Prefecture 10 sect dojos, and a Grade 3 Prefecture 15.

At for Capital City grade, one could have 25 sect dojos.

What needed to be mentioned was that a sect dojo was different from a sect. Although a sect dojo could appear in imperial cities or player territories, the various sects or factions needed to appear in the wilderness first based on the dynasty.

A sect dojo was only the warmup version of a sect and only taught basic stuff.

Shanhai City was now a Grade 3 Prefecture so Ouyang Shuo could choose 15 sect dojos. He would choose the five clans for sure. As for the remaining 10 slots, he would need to ponder about it.

Long Spear Sect, Baji Sect, and Five Tiger Sect had relationships with Shanhai City, so he naturally needed to choose them. Next would be Xingyi Sect, Five Phoenix Blade Sect, Medicine King Sect, Zihui Sword Sect, and Sichuan Tang Sect; these five huge sects.

As for the remaining two slots, Ouyang Shuo chose Xiaoyao Sect and Haiwai Sect.

Ouyang Shuo did not choose randomly. All these sects were ones that could possibly cooperate with Shanhai City. If he had chosen incompatible ones, it would be a waste.

Other territories were probably choosing sects in the same manner.

...

Apart from the four huge update points, there were five more relatively smaller updates.

5: Raise of troop movement speed.

Due to the player territories expanding, too much time was spent on moving troops. Gaia had decided to increase the basic movement speed of troops by five times.

This meant that be it infantry, cavalry, navy, or even grain transport troops, all their movement speeds were raised by five times. A month long trip would only require a few days now.

Not only that, if one had territory buffs and general buffs, it would work off this base that had been increased by five times.

Hence, this could result in a six to seven times increase in traveling speed. Hence, the ten times increase in game map area had been solved.

At a future suitable time, Gaia would probably increase this once more, totally nerfing the teleportation tactic of players.

As for how this new update would affect the Battle of Yunnan, Ouyang Shuo was not too sure about it.

At the very least, it could quicken the pace at which Baiqi's left troops took down Mengding Prefecture, and it would not be anything good for Yunnan City-State. After all, Yunnan City-State relied heavily on the teleportation tactic.

6: Removal of territory land area stat.

The stat in the territory stat bar did not match the true size of a territory. This situation was not limited to Shanhai City and most territories were like that.

Hence, Gaia decided to remove this stat.

7: Slow down the construction speed of buildings.

The construction speed in game had special speed buffs, making it faster than in real life. A house in real life that needed half a year to build could be completed in just a few days in the game.

This update slowed down this building speed; this would increase the construction time of each building by at least three times and even five times for some.

What it slowed down was not only construction of buildings but also the construction speed of ships, cannons, and the like. Previously, the turreted ships built by Shanhai City shipyards needed at most half a month to reach completion.

Now it probably needed more than that, even close to two months.

This would definitely be a huge blow to the shipbuilding industry and cause a huge impact, largely reducing production.

This move was also to make the game closer to reality. Moreover, it increased the costs of production of territories. It would be a huge challenge, especially to the basic infrastructure of the territory.

Lords needed to continuously climb up the technology tree and raise the construction efficiency.

This act by Gaia was truly thought out well.

8: Modifying the alliance settings.

Territories that have already joined alliances or formed City-States could not form alliances with anyone outside. For example, the cooperation between Yanhuang Alliance and Yunnan City-State would not be allowed.

Similarly, Shanhai City would not be able to ally with members outside of Shanhai Alliance unless the member in question joined the Shanhai Alliance. Otherwise, they would be breaking the rules.

For example, the Mediterranean Alliance that Shanhai City had built as well as the Shanhai City-Phoenix Alliance all broke the rules.

As for the alliances that were already formed, Gaia did not take any action as these were formed prior to the time it pushed out the new rules.

9: Unlocking more building and crafting technology.
