should be typed:
The Lost Era
you listed it twice.
good call, it is my favourite.
I'm not totally in agreement with Ward but, what he is saying prolly has merit.
but I just like this one the best.

The Dawn of Civilization (can leave out 'The' if you want...)
Dawn of an Empire
The Birth of a Dynasty
Etc.
However, if the point of the game is just war between existing civilations, then you'd probably want something more like:
The Guardian of the Kindred (although that's a little more local than a whole empire...)
Alt: The Guardian of the Realm, Dominion, etc.
Unless it's more of an offensive type (you are the attacker), then it would be different still. Just remember...thesaurus.com is your friend.

I guess it's what the point of the game is. If it is to build a civilization, then you would probably want something denoting that, such as:The Dawn of Civilization (can leave out 'The' if you want...)
Dawn of an Empire
The Birth of a Dynasty
Etc.

I've always preferred single-word titles. Multiple words tend to constrain each others' meanings.

'Empire' or 'Capitol'I've always preferred single-word titles. Multiple words tend to constrain each others' meanings.

From my limited study of human history, it seems that the spilling of blood is a prerequisite for the establishment of nations. And in my somewhat warped view of the world, the whole process reminds me of agricultural cycles of sowing/harvesting.
So, with those two ideas together, someone could make the case that the blood of tyrants, innocents, and defenders are the seeds of civilization.
Along those lines something like . . .
Seeds of Empire
or
Harvest of War
And, if you can find a way to get another word and a colon in there, that would really help sales.
;)

Maybe you can try something a bit deeper, like a play on concepts.From my limited study of human history, it seems that the spilling of blood is a prerequisite for the establishment of nations.

Thats okay for like a future kind of game when people grow people but it doesnt have that taste when you put together and farming word with a strong word like War and Empire agriculture cant compare to those words. But hey thanks for your opinion man.
