Server

server is an independent game instance of Aether Kingdoms. Each server has its own map, economy, and player rankings, and runs for a fixed period until a win condition is met. Progress and resources are not shared between servers; a player may participate in multiple servers simultaneously.

Each server has a speed multiplier that scales resource production, construction times, and research durations. A speed-2 server runs at twice the pace of a standard server. The speed of a server is fixed at launch and displayed in the server selection screen.
