			'''Heads-up:''' Realm 4 is built around alliances. Territory, Riftwake and the alliance structures all need one. Pirates are far stronger and pay less per raid, and [[Relics]] and monuments are rarer from expeditions, so the biggest rewards come from territory and Riftwake.

New page

= Realms Overview =
Realms define the core progression structure of Per Regna.

Rather than endlessly scaling numbers within a single universe, the game is divided into structured stages called Realms. Each Realm introduces new mechanics, deeper strategy, and additional galaxies while preserving player progress.

Realms ensure:

* Steady complexity growth
* Strategic evolution
* Controlled power scaling
* Long-term replayability
* Separation between early and advanced systems

----

== Purpose of the Realm System ==
The Realm system was designed to solve several progression challenges common in MMO strategy games:

=== 1. Prevent Early Overwhelm ===
New players are not exposed to:

* All mechanics at once
* High-tier ships immediately
* Complex diplomatic systems
* Extreme PvP pressure

Systems unlock gradually.

=== 2. Maintain Long-Term Depth ===
Instead of infinite stat inflation, Realms introduce:

* New mechanics
* New celestial structures
* New strategic layers
* New resource tiers

=== 3. Controlled Power Curve ===
Each Realm:

* Caps early exponential growth
* Introduces new scaling ceilings
* Prevents older players from permanently dominating new ones

=== 4. Strategic Evolution ===
Your empire evolves through phases:

* Foundation
* Expansion
* Strategic warfare
* Prestige dominance

----

== What Is Ascension? ==
Ascension is the transition from one Realm to the next.

You ascend when:

* You reach the required Realm Score
* You manually trigger ascension from your profile

=== What Happens During Ascension ===

* All colonies move to a new galaxy in the next Realm
* Ships transfer with you
* Resources transfer with you
* Research remains unlocked
* Progression systems expand

Ascension is not a reset. It is an expansion into a more advanced universe layer.
----

== Multiple Galaxies per Realm ==
Each Realm contains its own galaxy cluster.

When you ascend:

* You enter a new galaxy group exclusive to that Realm
* Lower Realm players cannot interact with higher Realm players
* The economy and competition are contained within each Realm

This creates:

* Balanced competition
* Realm-specific political ecosystems
* Controlled economic scaling
* Distinct strategic metas per Realm

Future expansions may introduce:

* Additional galaxies within a Realm
* Realm-specific events
* Inter-galactic competitive modes

----

----

== Realm 1 – Foundation ==
Realm 1 focuses on:

* Economic growth
* Core fleet mechanics
* Basic expeditions
* Pirate PvE
* Learning energy and resource balance

Design Philosophy:

* Safe environment
* Low punishment
* Structured onboarding

Key Characteristics:

* No complex alliance warfare
* No faction diplomacy
* Controlled PvP pressure

Purpose: Build player confidence and understanding.
----

== Realm 2 – Expansion ==
Realm 2 introduces social and cooperative systems.

New systems include:

* Moons
* Trading system
* Rally expeditions
* Alliance contribution mechanics
* Advanced asteroid harvesting
* Iridium & Silicium-tier economy
* Player Classes with Monuments

Design Philosophy: Shift from solo growth to coordinated play.

Strategic Shift:

* Resource competition increases
* Diplomacy begins to matter
* Economic optimization becomes important

----

== Realm 3 – Strategic Era ==
Realm 3 introduces dynamic political gameplay.

Major unlocks:

* Warp Gates
* Pirate Factions
* Contested asteroid nodes
* Escalating pirate retaliation
* Elerium-tier economy

Design Philosophy: Introduce meaningful conflict and territory strategy.

Strategic Themes:

* System control
* Reputation management
* Advanced fleet composition
* Risk vs reward expansion

Realm 3 marks the shift from growth to control.
----

== Realm 4 – Prestige Era ==
Realm 4 represents endgame strategic mastery.

New mechanics:

* Legendary expeditions
* Mega alliance raids
* Prestige rewards
* Relics
* Full contested high-value nodes

Design Philosophy: Reward mastery, coordination, and dominance.

Strategic Focus:

* Large alliance coordination
* High-risk, high-reward warfare
* Political influence
* Prestige recognition

Realm 4 is designed for veteran empires.
----

== Realm Score ==
Realm Score determines ascension eligibility.

It reflects:

* Economic development
* Fleet value
* Research progress
* Expansion achievements

Realm Score ensures players:

* Progress naturally
* Cannot rush advanced systems prematurely
* Experience each Realm phase fully

----

== Design Decisions Behind Realms ==
The Realm system was intentionally designed to:

* Avoid permanent snowball dominance
* Prevent early burnout
* Encourage cooperation before conflict
* Introduce mechanics in layers
* Separate casual and hardcore play phases
* Keep late-game content aspirational

Realms are not seasons. They are evolutionary layers of the same empire.
----

== Strategic Impact of Realms ==
Realms affect:

=== Economy ===
Each Realm introduces new rare resources.

=== Fleet Meta ===
Ship composition changes between Realms.

=== Political Landscape ===
Alliances reform and restructure each Realm.

=== Risk Scaling ===
Higher Realms introduce higher consequence systems.
----

== Long-Term Vision ==
Future design direction for Realms includes:

* Additional galaxy clusters per Realm
* Realm-exclusive seasonal events
* Inter-Realm competitive rankings
* Realm-based achievements
* Realm historical leaderboards

The Realm system ensures Per Regna remains:

* Structured
* Competitive
* Evolving
* Balanced across years of growth

----''In Per Regna, power is not gained in a single leap. ''It is earned across Realms.
