About Fifth Age
The end of the Fifth Age is near. Civilization has collapsed, the power of the Gods wavers, and even the edges of Creation fray.
You play as one of many Gods, struggling for power and recognition in this dying world, for it is said that he with sufficient Destiny will survive to rule the Sixth Age.
Hey! Listen!
This game is all kinds of beta. It is incomplete, sometimes buggy, and does not have very comprehensive instructions for play.
Once you've signed up and logged in, please refer to The Library for an overview of basic game mechanics. A more formal tutorial will be created later.

hello, Fifth Age!
I know very few people are still coming by here, but I had some news that maaayyyyy be important.
I've got an idea for a game that's a kind of "Fifth Age 2", borrowing a lot of ideas from Fifth Age, but also adding a lot of other ideas...
Fifth Age hasn't been worked on in a long time - in my mind, it's rather abandoned - so if this other idea gets off the ground, I will probably replace the current Fifth Age site with it.
IF THIS HAPPENS, I'll copy all the current accounts to the new system, and do my best to move over characters, but a lot of the concepts in the current Fifth Age simply wouldn't translate.
I do want to emphasize that this is a rather large "if". given my track record creating new games, I'll probably half-develop something, and never post it anywhere. (PsyPets is really good at demanding my attention 
and I'm still struggling to give even "The Ruins of" any attention...)
so: we'll see! if I get this idea off the ground and into some kind of game form, I'll definitely let you guys know... those of you left

new spell: Thunderhead Helix
it's a wind/water level 60 spell, and it's essentially free damage (with a high cooldown time).
I worry about it a little.
I thought this up while I was twiddling my thumbs during PsyPets downtime

Butterfly Sanctuaries! (and a couple little UI changes)
Butterfly Sanctuaries have been implemented... I think. at the very least, they don't appear to have broken battles but, since I have no Butterfly Sanctuaries, and am not well-equipped to hack myself a few when away from home (I'm out visiting people for Christmas, etc), I have not been able to test them... at all
Let me know if things break, of course
ALSO: a few UI things... Treasures have been broken into two pages, which is probably not enough: "Ranked Treasure" and "Usable Treasure", which are both terrible names. I will work on this more later, but the idea is to generally sort out items so that they are easier to work with.
Treasures are also now sorted so that the newest ones appear on top, rather than on the bottom.
Finally, when applying a Rune, it won't show you all the items that aren't Weapons, because why the hell should it show you all those things? It shouldn't. So now it doesn't. It also shows you the % chance of breaking even for equipped items, even though you can't apply them to those items.
And that is all for now

obnoxious fix to arena
a lot of vassals were unable to sign up for arena events that were element-specific. I tracked down the problem and fixed it... but looking at the bug, it should have been affecting all vassals for all time... that is, we should never have been able to sign up vassals for element-exclusive events, but clearly we have... so... I don't know
well, the point is, they are fixed. yay. we can go sign up all our vassals

fix related to equipment that give +Tactics
the page for editing tactics was not working if you picked a Tactic that was above your base allowed Tactics, before including equipment. For example, if you were allowed 5 Tactics - 1 due to an equipment - it would let you edit strategies 1 through 4, but not 5. this is because it was applying equipment bonuses AFTER checking that you were asking for a strategy within the number you had, rather than before. this has been fixed.
