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

• Last born races were Gnomes and Dark Elves - appeared only at 36th age. Both of them lives 14 ages only. Less than anyone else.
• Undead appeared thrice and extincted twice - more than anyone else.

Personalities:

• The significance Personalities before the Era of Mystery was unknown, so Personalities didn't exist before

• At the Age of Rebirth The General was eliminated. 8 together.
• At the Age of the Scholar Freak was eliminated too. But the Artisan appeared. 8 together.
• At the Age of Rebirth Artisan was gone. Instead him Cleric appeared. 8 together.
• Cleric survived till Age of Light. But Artisan return. 8 together.
• Next Age (Age of Distinction) War Hero was upgrade to Tactician.
• So, Cleric was live 2 Ages only.
• Artisan is only one, who reappeared.

Islands:

• At the First Generation at the World of Legend existed 17 islands.
• Since beginning Islands was divided by Ocean. Nobody without boats could attack any province from outside Island.
• At the next Age already existed 25 islands.
• Next, Third Age have 35 islands
• At the Fifth age number of islands grow till 40.
• Next Age World of Legend has 45 islands.
• Finally, at Seventh Age were 49 islands
• This Seventh Age Ocean was already dried, so only rivers divide islands. Shipbuilding was forgotten. Horses become more useful than boats.
• Far far away, at the Age of Kings number of islands was cut till 40 island.

Science:

• Since beginning existed Alchemy, Tools, Housing, Food, The Art of War, Crime & Deceit, Channelling.
• At the Sixth Age was added Medicine study.
• Medicine studied only 3 ages till Age of Chaos, next Renaissance Age this discipline was forbidden forever.
• At the Age of Courage The Art of War was shortened to Military
• Since New Code, Age of Change Crime & Deceit was shortened to Crime

Nobility:

• There is evidence, that Nobility was absent at First Generation and Second Age, but this is unclear
• At least since Third Age fame was in Utopia
• At Renaissance Age fame was modernized to Honor
• Finally at Age of Nobility Titles were discovered and List of Titles at once assumed modern view
• Benefits of Honor/Fame was changed too frequently

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

Age's Names:

• At World of Legend was 3 unique named Ages: as Generation, Revolution and Awakening
• 5 Ages was named as an Era
• Rest of ages were named as Age
