Each game of Utopia is broken up into separate Ages.

Each Age is unique, because every Age has different rules (game mechanics and races abilities), it is unwritten rule, that something changes. So new Age is not restart only.

An Age is usually 3 months long.

After the Age ends the game servers are reset and each province reverts back to its starting size in a new location.

Details: Utopia Time

Relations:

• It is unclear how War looks at early Ages. We know they existed.
• We know exactly that at least since 5th Age were Multi-Kingdom Wars. It was needed just to declare a War to any Kingdom (any size). Other participants could join the War.
• We don't know if multi-kingdoms were limited by maximum or not. At least at 11th Age (A. of Nobility) War was limited to 5 participants (also limited size).
• We have poor information about Peace. Peace existed at least from 11th Age, and there is evidence it exists since beginning.
• Peace was looked like Peaceful Stance, you declare intention, but only for one/several Kingdoms and have benefits from this.
• If both Kingdom was in Peace, both of them have Binding Peace, which has same effect as Non-Aggression Pact now-days
• At the Age of Valour rules changes. Multi-Kingdoms Wars were abolished.
• Since that Age (Age of Valour) Kingdom could declare a new relation - Hostile (only 3 Hostile per one time at one Kingdom was permitted). War become automatically if both Kingdoms were active enough
• At the Age of Tranquility Kingdom could have one Hostile one time only.
• Next Age (Age of Turmoil) Peace can declare only for Hostile Kingdom
• At Age of War rules changes once more. Classical now, only less unfriendly Kingdom could declare War (if one of them is at Hostile, second - minimum Unfriendly) and no need to declare Hostile
• This 29th Age Peace was upgrade to Ceasefire. Also Unfriendly appeared.
• Next Age (Age of Unity) Stances appeared. Normal, Peaceful, Fortified and Aggressive
• At the Age of Conspiracy removed Peaceful Stance was removal
• It looks like conditions of End War never changes

Politics:

• Politics looks like now mostly in all Ages: need to have more than 50% of Kingdom Networth or been elected by maximum votes, not less then 35%
• First Kingdom Heads were prudish, so they call them-self Regents
• At Sixth Age Heads begin call them-self King or Queen (Monarch in common case).
• At Age of Conflict, minimum % to be elected changes to 60%
• Since next Age (Age of Nobility) minimum % was changed to 50%, and have lead minimum 2 votes from anybody else.

Dragons:

• We have too low information in was almost unwritten anywhere
• At least since 3rd Age Dragons exist. The Head of Kingdom start the Project against Kingdom. There were no species, just one Dragon and only solders could kill him.
• At the Age of the Dragon system changed: there are several species of Dragon: Ruby Dragon, Emerald Dragon, Sapphire Dragon and Gold Dragon. And both specialists and solders could kill him

Age's Names:

• At World of Legend was 4 unique named Ages: as Generation, Revolution, Awakening and Call to Arms
