The Age of Convergence
For centuries, the realms fought as isolated powers.
Each race guarded its traditions.
Each kingdom shaped war in its own image.
That era is over.
As conflicts stretched on and old playbooks became predictable, the world adapted.
Magic wove into steel.
Doctrine replaced impulse.
Power no longer flowed from a single source, but grew through alignment.
In this age, strength is created where paths converge.
Races no longer fight in isolation.
Their philosophies now shape the battlefield.
When a kingdom aligns its forces under shared doctrine, the fight changes:
- Armies move with purpose
- Spells strike harder
- Defenses hold longer
- Opponents lose control
Dragons return not as spectacle, but as pressure.
They disrupt economies, drain resolve, and force hard choices until they are answered.
Ambition sharpens leaders.
Mastery matters again.
Generals, mystics, saboteurs, and engineers leave a lasting impact on every conflict.
This is an age where:
- Choices compound
- Coordination wins
- Neglect is punished
Victory belongs not to the loudest blow, but to the kingdom that aligns its strengths and exploits its moment.
Core Mechanics & Modifications
- Defects no longer ignores kingdom wall if 22 provinces or above.
War Doctrines (Battle Doctrines)
- Each race contributes a Battle Doctrine that applies kingdom-wide during War.
- Doctrine strength scales with the number of provinces of that race, up to a defined cap.
Global Parameters (Applies to All Races)
- Base Value: 1.5% – 2.0%
- Increment: +0.5% per province of that race
- Maximum Cap: 5.0% – 7.5% (race-dependent)
Design Guardrails
- No Battle Doctrine may exceed 7.5% total effect.
- Increment values never exceed 0.5%.
- Caps are designed to be reached at 10–12 provinces, not earlier.
- Additional provinces beyond the cap do not increase doctrine strength.
Massacre Changes
- Massacre will revert to normal base gains and no longer do 3x damage in War.
Out of War Attack Penalty Updates
- When targeting a Kingdom that is less than 85% of both your Land and Networth:
- Battle Gains: –10%
- Military Casualties: +10%
- Honor Gains: –25%
- Attack Time: +20%
Dragons
Dragons are stepping out of autopick territory. Next age, several dragons have been reworked to hit harder, punish sloppy execution, and better define their role on the battlefield. Whether you’re breaking sustain, choking recovery, or forcing mistakes, each dragon now offers a clearer reason to be chosen and a real consequence if ignored.
