WI not happened OTL events changed chronological ages lenght

I think that the tricky part with ages ids that before a certain period, the world isn't united enough that what's going on in one part of the world really applies to another. As such, I think that before about the 15th or 16th century, each region would have to have it's own ages.

Whatever the current age is, I'd say that it started with the American Civil War if I had to put a year to it- That was the war in which tight formation and lines of battle oficially became a bad idea, a major sign of people defining themselves less around bloodlines and more around ideologies, an dthe approximate beginning of recording technology (photographs and sound recordings). Aye, it's mostly symbolic, but so is the fall of Rome.
