- Renaissance Age
- Industrial Age
- Modern Age
Advancement Requirements
Advancing to a new age requires meeting certain criteria:
- Resource Thresholds: Accumulating specific amounts of various resources
- Building Requirements: Constructing certain buildings
- Technology Prerequisites: Researching specific technologies
Age-Specific Requirements
Bronze Age
To advance from Stone Age to Bronze Age:
- Resources: Specific thresholds of food, wood, stone, and knowledge
- Buildings: At least 2 huts, 1 farm, and 1 mine
- Technology: Bronze Working research completed
Iron Age
