Every modifier this season applies

A season is a pure function of the world seed and the day. It takes no wallet, no spend and no account input, so every lord on a world gets the same weather on the same day — winter cannot be bought away and summer cannot be bought early. On the live weather clock a season holds for 7 real days.

What that means at the field

Summer: a farm's food output once this season's multiplier is applied. Base rate is 2 food per second per level, and the Intro Era multiplies every figure below by a further 2.5×.

Every figure above is generated from the shipped game code — the same constants and formulas the running game uses — and regenerated whenever the balance changes. Nothing on this page is hand-typed.

Iron Realms is an original work of fantasy strategy. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any other game or franchise, and “Iron Realms” is a working project name rather than necessarily the final title. Its lore, names and artwork are original or used under CC0/CC-BY/OFL licences (see the in-game Credits). The community section also hosts unofficial fan tributes — quizzes and diversions made for fun, not part of the game — which name other fictional worlds under their own labels and are likewise not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to their rights holders.
