New this test are, here are the details:

INTERFACE

Various interfaces are reviewed in order to adjust to the new features:

-the page meadows
-the public record of equestrian center
- The registration page board

We invite you to discover them!

PRICE OF PENSIONS

Insofar equestrian centers can offer their residents a variety of services that improve the daily horse or economies of equus, prices of pensions increased.

The minimum price for a day's board in a center is 20 equus. The maximum price is 200 equus. To you to offer rates that match what you offer as benefits to your residents.

If your prices are too expensive compared to what you offer, your center will remain empty. If your rates are low then you offer the full range of potential benefits, your center may be filled but you will find it harder to get into your costs.

In addition to choosing a maximum repurchase, as director of riding, you must also define a minimum. This minimum is set by default to three days, except in the case where you have set a maximum of one day (if you have Spring and VIP account).

Visit the office in your riding to make the desired changes.

SUPPRESSION OF BUSINESS

Trades disappear in order to make some space for new features.

Here are the implications breeder side:

<Salary is no longer perceived.
<Instead, each player receives a privilege of the rich farmer who has 100 equus per day.

Here are the implications riding side:

It is no longer possible to engage employees and they do not count for prestige.

- Litter is automatically changed if they have enough stock.
- The equipment provided by the equestrian center depend on their presence in the inventory of the center.
- The price of lessons depends solely on the prestige of the residents.

-> See more new "Prestige equestrian centers" for more information.


LITTER BOX AND

The quality of the box and litter, in addition to impact the prestige of the center, provide certain benefits to boarding horses.

box

The quality of the box of your riding affects the moral awakening of your horse over a box is good quality, the better his moral awakening.

A horse lying 22h maximum wakes up with:
- +1 Morale compared to the previous day with a maximum of 90% if it is in a box 1 *
- +2 Morale compared to the previous day with a maximum of 95% if it is in a box 2 **
- 3 morale compared to the previous day with a maximum of 100% if they are in a box 3 ***

Received the penalty if the horse is lying down after 22h is smaller when the box is better.

litter

The concept of cleanliness is removed. Against by the quality of the litter box for your equestrian center provides an advantage in energy and influence the loss of morale when the horse spends time at the box.

And bedding linen provide more energy and will lose less moral than straw bedding when your horse spends box. If the box has no litter (for the equestrian center had none in stock), it will gain very little energy and will lose a lot of morale.

The litter of wood chips is removed. If you had wood chips in stock or in your box, they were replaced by straw.

To make all this easier to access and manage the interface of the page box was reviewed and merged with the page boarders.

EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY

On your desktop, a table lists all that can be offered to residents and the amount you have in inventory.

As the director of an equestrian centre you can manage the tack and food that you offer your boarders.

On your office page, a table lists all the things that can be offered to your boarders as well as how much you have left in your inventory.

The minimal required amount to offer tack or food to your boarders is shown in a bubble when you hover your mouse of each item. From the moment you have enough stock you can chose what you wish to make available to your boarders.

If your stock of items becomes insufficient due to the consumption of your boarders, their availability is automatically disabled. Make sure to keep an eye on your stocks!

Check out your Equestrian centre’s office page.

As equestrian centres can now offer a multitude of services to their boarders to improve their comfort or make substantial savings on their expenses, it is only logical to increase the boarding fees.

The minimal fee for a day in an equestrian centre is 20 equus. The maximum price is 200 equus. Up to you to offer rates that correspond to what you are offering to your boarders.

If your rates are too high compared to the benefits you offer, your equestrian centre will remain empty. If your rates are too low compared to those same benefits you may have your boxes full of boarders but empty pockets.

On top of selecting a maximum boarding length, as equestrian centre director, you must also determine a minimal length. This minimal length is set to three days as a default, except if you have defined a maximum boarding length of a single day. (If you have spring and the VIP account).

Check out your Equestrian centre’s office page to make the necessary modifications.

The jobs are removed to make a little bit of space for new features.

Here is what it implies on the breeder’s side :

You don’t need to look for a job any longer.
Therefore you don’t get paid a salary
As a replacement, each player receives a Wealth Privilege that offers 100 equus per day.

Here is what it implies on the equestrian centre’s side :

You can't hire players as employees anymore and they don’t count for the prestige any longer either.

Bedding changes itself as long as you have enough bedding (Thank you invisigroom!)
The tack made available by the equestrian centre depend on the stock in the inventory
The price of lessons is exclusively based on the boarders’ prestige.

The quality of the boxes and their bedding, as well as having an impact on the prestige, provides certain advantages to the horses that board with you.

Boxes

The quality of the boxes of your Equestrian Centre influences the morale of your horse when he wakes up; the better the quality of a box, the better your horse’s morale in the morning.

A horse put to bed at 22:00 at most twill wake up with:
- +1 of moral compared to the previous day with a maximum of 90% if he slept in a 1* box
- +2 of moral compared to the previous day with a maximum of 95% if he slept in a 2** box
- +3 of moral compared to the previous day with a maximum of 100% if he slept in a 3*** box

The penalty a horse receives when he is put to bed after 22:00 is smaller if the box is of higher quality.

Bedding

The notion of cleanliness is removed from the game. On the other hand, the quality of box bedding gives an energy
Advantage and will influence the loss of morale when a horse spends time in his box.

For instance flax bedding will give more energy and will make your horse lose less morale than straw bedding when he spends time in his box. If the box doesn’t have bedding (because the EC is out of stock_, he’ll win very little energy and will lose a lot of morale.

Woodchip bedding is removed. If you had any in stock in your inventory or in your boxes, they will be replaced with straw bedding.

To make this simpler to access and easier to manage, the interface of the box page has been reviewed and merged with the boarder’s page.

The prestige for equestrian centres is reviewed in detail to fit the new features and to be simpler to understand. We also introduce a comfort rating.

The comfort rating

An important element of equestrian centres’ prestige is the comfort rating. It takes into account the various elements that can provide comfort to a horse and the make your EC an enjoyable place to live for your boarders.

Here is the constrained list:

• The size of the boxes
• The quality of the bedding
• The presence of improvements in each box ; for the moment the only one is the shower.

• The availability of food for your boarders:
- Fodder
- Oats
- Carrots
- Mashes

• The availability of tack for your boarders, as well as it’s quality.
- Saddles
- Bridles
- Saddle pads
- Polo wraps
- Bonnet

This tack has to be bought in the Equestrian centre store for the moment. Later you will be able to produce it in your equestrian centre.

The Prestige

The global prestige of the equestrian centre depends on various sub-prestige ratings.

• The comfort rating.

• Meadow prestige which groups:
- Meadow fertility
- Meadow size

• The equestrian centre’s capacity prestige:
- The number of boxes, with an optimum amount of 100.
- The occupancy level, with an optimum amount of 50% occupied boxes. An occupied box is a box that contains a horse at the moment of the daily update.

• The boarder prestige that is based on the level of each horse’s best skill compared to the best horse on the game in that specific skill.

• The prestige of the equestrian centres’ competitions that depends on the skill level of the horses that register in your competitions.

Divine horses count for the occupancy level for the boxes; however they don’t count for the boarder’s prestige.

The prestige for lessons disappears. From now on the prices of lessons and the skill gains they offer depend directly on the boarder’s prestige. The total prestige of the equestrian centre doesn’t count for them any longer.

We invite you to go to your equestrian centre’s office page to learn more and discover a few indications that will help you bring improvements to your equestrian centre.
