Age 114 — The Age of Convergence

  • WoL Age 114 Open: 25 January 2026 22:00
  • WoL Age 114 Start: 28 January 2026
  • WoL Age 114 End: TBC

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.

Victory belongs not to the loudest blow, but to the kingdom that aligns its strengths and exploits its moment.

Core Mechanic Changes

War Doctrines

Each race contributes a War Doctrine that applies kingdom-wide during War. Doctrine strength scales with the number of provinces of that race, up to a defined cap.

  • Base Value: 1.5% · Increment: +1.0% per province · Maximum Cap: 7.5%
  • Avian caps at −5.0% (reached at 5 provinces); all others cap at 7.5% (reached at 7 provinces)
  • Additional provinces beyond the cap do not increase doctrine strength.

Defects

Defects no longer ignore the kingdom wall if the kingdom has 22 or more provinces.

Massacre

Massacre effectiveness in War is now 2× (down from 3×).

Learn and Plunder

Enemy military kills from Learn and Plunder attacks are reverted to normal troop kills in War.

Out of War Attack Penalty
