| **The Late Ages** have 30 different [[nations-la|nations]] to choose from; ironically, the proportion of humanity in them is only **around three-fifths**, but their presence is firmly felt in most of the rest as well. Technology has improved some more, but only by trace amounts over what was available in some areas in the Middle Ages; the great progress of these times has been in the proliferation of said tech, and of knowledge in general. This has coincided with a greater decline in the power of magic, attributed to both the exhaustion of previous wells and the "un-focusing" of talents. Some new forces have established themselves in the absence or decay of the old, but only time will tell if they make a dent. | **The Late Ages** have 30 different [[nations-la|nations]] to choose from; ironically, the proportion of humanity in them is only **around three-fifths**, but their presence is firmly felt in most of the rest as well.

| By this point, almost all of the "good" land has dropped into the hands of the "civilized" independents, who are now better-armed and better-armored on average than before. The tribes, with their obsolete technology (but still-useful magic) are now marginalized, along with most of the non-humans of no important faction; aside from the little people, anyway, who have abandoned their magic but gained a stronger footing than before. The dogmen are now completely extant outside of [[andramania-la|Andramania]], and their space in the caves has been taken by the Pale Ones (ironically //not// [[agartha-la|extinct]]) and the goblins [[jomon-la|Jomon]] defeated. Underwater, the Tritons have spread wide in the chaotic civil wars that let [[Erytheia-la|Erytheia]] come to be, wiping out the Kulullus and almost-completely destroying Merrows; their reach largely ends at the depths, however, where wicked mages have co-opted them and [[atlantis-la|frogmen]] //still// hold sway. | By this point, almost all of the "good" land has dropped into the hands of the "civilized" independents, who are now better-armed and better-armored on average than before.

| Starting populations in the Late Ages are higher than in the Middle Ages; in Dominions 5, they were said to be 20% higher, thus 50% higher than in the Early Ages. The default Magic Site rate is **45**, however; this is 18.18% lower than in the Middle Ages, and 30.77% lower than in the Early Ages. | Starting populations in the Late Ages are higher than in the Middle Ages; in Dominions 5, they were said to be 20% higher, thus 50% higher than in the Early Ages.
