Utopia Time

Each event in Utopia is dated in Utopian Time.

Utopian Chronology

Time in Utopia moves differently to the real world. Each Age consists of Days, Months and Years. The start of each Utopian Day is called a tick.

    1 Utopian Day = 1 Hour
    1 Utopian Month = 1 Day
    1 Utopian Year = 1 Week

Before Age begins, there is a Freeze time. The Age starts at January 1, Year 0 with Protection until February 1, Year 0. As a rule Age continues 8..14 Utopian Years.

Time in Utopia is synchronized with time in real world. Each Utopian Day begins in XX:00. Utopian Month changes at 18:00 GMT+0 timezone.

Typical Utopian data format:

• February 5 of YR4

Tick

Tick is an unique unplayable time between every Utopian Days, when most of bonuses and penalties are applied to Province.

During the tick mana and stealth recover, people are born and die, armies and wizards are trained, inhabitants consume bushels and money, banks emit gold coins, etc.

Note that there is an order of operations for each Tick. Below, I attempt to order them:

• Buildings are built first at the beginning of the tick and will affect the below:

• Income is generated
• Food is generated
• Peasant growth
• Wizard growth
• Drafting occurs

Questions:

• Does “-“ count as a tick for Patriotism or not (effectively, it seems to be the case that a spell that says 18 days is then really 19, which is kind of disorienting).
