How long is a game round?

A game round’s length depends on how fast players on the server reach the final area and completes the end event. This is a process that will at least take a few months depending on the scenario. When there are no villages left to capture in the final area or if the time is mature enough, the game round might start to round off by itself.

Can I unbind my civilization from the server?

You can, at any time, unbind your civilization from a selected server, but then you will not get the greater rewards and achievements that are given out at the end of the game round. Due to this, it is worth playing a full game round until it’s finished even if it is going bad towards the end.

To unbind your civilization from a server simply go to your account settings in the top menu and choose to unbind your civilization from the settings. You will have to type in your password in order to confirm.

How does one game round differ from another?

Game rounds have different scenarios and end events. Currently there is only one scenario - The Ancient race, in the game. The game will be slightly different depending on how long the game round has been going on when you join it. When you join a game you will always be placed in the starting zone called Green Fields where other players match your strength.
