Default Race Age

What effect does the race's age have? Any?

Sadly, racial age does not have any effect on the game. So bad.

If you can think of a good way to give an effect while still keeping games fair during multiplayer, please mention it to Aaron!

The Q&A page on Malfador's site claims that experience gives "minor bonuses"; unfortunately, these bonuses are so minor that no-one's ever been able to figure out what they are.

Moral bonus ? The race leader is proud of his followers and play with more vigor and attention and crush all younger races on PBW

Your race experience points were originally supposed to offer you some advantage. I don't think it was ever implemented. Another one of those 'planned' things. Maybe he will get to it before SE V, maybe not.

67. When i create a new race it has the status of newborn and has no experience. Does the status change when i play some games with that race, and do i get experience points to buy new abilities?

Yes, when you play with an empire, they will gain experience. You can then save the empire at the end of your game so that you can use in future games. The experience points determine your race's age and give you minor bonuses in different areas.
That is all that MM has said about it that I know of.
