~ Game Changes, Age 9 Edition ~

1. Operations

Boze get minimum 0.5% gains instead of 1%

2. Fame Bonus

Fame will give 1 % extra offence for each 1000 fame. (Same as the population bonus, maximum is 50% = 50,000 fame)

3. Heritage Bonus

Doubled fame bonus from heritage

Heritage land bonus becomes exponential:
1000 = ~570 acres
2000 = ~780
5000 = ~1300
10000 = 2000
P.S. heritage still only applies when the ruler dies due to age.
