A report from our special correspondent.
Experience
The first news relates to experience. Combat experience (XP) and magic experience (XPm) will amalgamate. From now on, we will speak simply of XP, which is obtained using the following formula:
New XP: = (XP + XPm)/10
In addition, one adds 2 and divides by 10.
Why divide by 10? Because that adapts better to the scale that we want to use.
Thus all sheep will have up to 20 levels. Magic levels will no longer have meaning because one will speak simply about brawler level 7 or magician level 15. It will be the same system of levels.
We will return to this a little later.
Characteristics
The characteristics: Strength, Constitution, Appearence, Sociabiliy and Intelligence are preserved. On the other hand the old
Reflexes characteristic has been renamed.
Dexterity is the new name given to the old characteristic known as
reflexes.
Remainder the characteristics of the sheep from now on are noted on 20 and either out of 5. The sheep starts with characteristics of a neighbouring value of 10 instead of zero.
A sheep having in the past a force of 4/5 will now have a force of 14/20.

Fights
- One can now fight in the arena simultaneously with several sheep
- 2,3 or 4 players are possible on the battlefield
- Possible team game
Levels
As described earlier, each character and animal in the game have from now on a level between 1 and 20. This level reflects their experience. Lambs begin their life as Beginners at level 1.
Sheep Levels
These will be known in future as
level stages in the life of a sheep:
- The 1st level is reached when a name is given to a lamb.
- The 2nd level is reached at 20 kilos (choice of class).
- The 3rd level is reached at 45 kilos (the horns grow).
- The 4th level is reached at 60 kilos (adulthood, reproduction).
- The 5th and final level is reached between 80 and 90 kilos after passing a test.
Important: all sheep are from now on able to fight from the first level, it's not necessary to reach 20 kg. The classes Brawler, Studious or Sociable (in the past called characteristics) can still only be selected at 20 kilos, however.
The Old Magic
The old magic is always used to amalgamate the 2 systems.
However the battle spells do not use mana anymore, magic XP is not used in combat along with level.
The magic potions sold at the sheepfold doubtless will acquire a double role, firstly in the magic cave to give more mana, secondly in combat. We do not have really precise details yet on this subject.
