[@LokiLeo789] It is not a jump. So far, most of the players are kinda guiding the timeline of their posts by these big global events, like the Horde attack and the the Realta attack, what is in topic here is to just give more breathing space between these events so people who RP civs have the proper time frame to justify certain things as right now, it has been only a few decades between the Phantasmagoria, which helped to kickstart culture, and the current Realta attack. In general, this has led, in my opinion, to an overuse of characters who are just savvy as hell and talk like civ players planning a tech run (at least in my posts) and rough explosions of discoveries instead of a more natural growth that would be justifiable if we could have that century-wide timeframe more easily.
