Age Advancement Update
Hello everyone!
We are beyond excited to announce the delivery of "The Age Advancement Update," the first part of our roadmap! 🎉 But that's not all this update is packed with tons of new features and countless bug fixes to enhance your overall game experience! 😉
[h3]What is the Age Advancement?[/h3]
Our game now features an age advancement system reminiscent of the classics, designed to keep strategy fresh and engaging. Here's a quick overview of the system:
🔥 Age I: Focuses on building a strong foundation with basic economy and resource gathering.
⚔️ Age II: Introduces military expansion and resource optimization.
🏰 Age III: Unlocks the full potential of your armies and all game mechanics for maximum strategic depth.
Each age introduces new buildings, units, and technologies to support your evolving strategy and playstyle.

[h3]Our Approach to Balancing[/h3]
We wanted to ensure progression is both flexible and fun! There are no mandatory building requirements to advance ages meaning you can develop your own strategies without being forced down a specific path. However, we’ve implemented some building limits per age to maintain early-game balance and ensure fair competition.
