Ages

Overview

A standard match progresses through Dark Age, Feudal Age, Castle Age and Imperial Age. Advancing unlocks additional units, buildings and technologies, often through a civilization-specific landmark or age-up system.

Use in play

Balance the resources spent on aging with the army and defenses needed to survive the transition.

Age-up decisions

Each Age advances access to later units, buildings and technologies. Most civilizations age up by constructing one of two Landmark choices, so the choice changes both the immediate position and the options available afterward. Compare the landmark effect with the resources, army and map control you can protect during the transition.
