Ulgara seasons: a 12-week universe and weekly rounds

Ulgara's universe is seasonal. Every season lasts 12 weeks and everyone starts from the same line. This guide explains how a season runs, the weekly ranking rounds and the rewards that carry over between seasons.

Why seasons?

In universes that never end, the gap between veterans and newcomers never closes. In a seasonal universe everyone starts from scratch on the same day, and a player who arrives mid-season can still compete at once in the weekly rounds.

Season phases

The Season screen shows the week, the phase and the time left. The phases are Dawn (week 1), Expansion (week 3), War (week 7) and Galactic Core (week 11).

Weekly ranking rounds

Every 7 days in a season a weekly round closes. A weekly round resets nothing: your planets, fleet and research stay exactly as they are.
The weekly ranking is by the points you gained that week, so a newcomer can reach the top too.
When a round closes rewards arrive automatically: dynasty points and a resource pack from your own output on your home planet. The winner carries the title "Commander of the week" until the next round.
Even outside the top 40, everyone whose score grew gets a small pack.

Score and rankings

Your score comes from the resources you spend on buildings, research, ships and defences: 1 point per 1,000 resources.
The rankings have Weekly, Total, Economy, Research, Fleet and Achievement tabs; each table shows the top 40 players.
Achievements count what you do during the season; in the achievement ranking you can compete without PvP.

Season end and dynasty

When the season ends you earn dynasty points and titles by your ranking: the top 100 overall, the top 10 in achievements and members of the top 10 alliances are rewarded.
Dynasty points and titles are saved to your account, carry over between seasons and give no power.
The new season opens after a break week. Meanwhile the closed universe stays playable; its results are final.
In the new season you start from scratch with a new home planet.
