Age of Merry Mayhem
The bells are ringing. The razes are singing. The war drums jingle, the soldiers jangle, and somewhere in the distance… someone’s setting fire to an orc's stables. The Age of Merry Mayhem has arrived — where wars meet with large amounts of ale, and no one’s entirely sober. Between flying avians, heavily bearded dwarves mistaken for Santa, and over‑eager generals yelling “just one more massacre before dinner!”, Utopia plunges into the most wonderful time of the year. Be quick, be bold and for goodness sake — don’t spill your warm cider on the war map. The bells are ringing. The razes are singing. Let the festive carnage begin. In the spirit of merry times during **24 December → 1 January**, there will be a rotating global modifier affecting all players.
Festive Boost Week (Global Rotating Buff)
