The entire civilization tech trees are being completely revamped very soon! This is will have a huge impact to the game.

We're making these changes because there have always been quite a few concerns we’ve wanted to address. The biggest issue was that unlocking units as you leveled was a slow and painstaking process. Because so many units required technology points, it took a significant amount of time to unlock a basic arsenal of available units. This essentially meant that players were only using Spearmen for the first few levels, which led to uninteresting gameplay.

We don't believe that there's much value in a slow introduction to the unit roster. As a result, once you reach a new Age, all of the available units will be immediately unlocked for free.



Excited? Read the entire article, and join the discussion on the official forum!

More info about the alliances have been revealed.


The Alliance Wars are a brand new, team-based competition for level 40 players. It revolves around three Alliances: The Delian League, The Council of Imhotep, and The Legion of Carthage. Each Alliance is fighting for dominance, and only one can come out on top! Choose your Alliance wisely - the benefits of each are unique.

The Delian League – Capital: Delos
The League is a confederacy of Greece states that meets at the island of Delos. Their leader, Archimedes, is a mathematician and engineer who wins his battles through economy and trade.
Passive Bonuses (not active in PvP): Gather Rate, Cheaper Buildings, Building Health

The Council of Imhotep – Capital: Farafra Oasis
The Council of Imhotep is headed by the famed vizier Imhotep, a polymath skilled in architecture, engineering, and medicine. Those working alongside Imhotep wish to elevate their civilization through the use of technology and usher peace through religion.
Passive Bonuses (not active in PvP): Cheaper Research, Unit Health, Cheaper Priests

The Legion of Carthage – Capital: Carthage
The Legion of Carthage is headed by Hannibal, the famous general who crossed the Alps to invade Italy. His legion enforces its power through brute strength and massive numbers.
Passive Bonuses (not active in PvP): Damage, Train Time, Food Gathering

From now on, we get a chance to ask away some questions to the developers! Here is some more info about it:

While any question is welcomed there are a few things we simply cannot answer:
We cannot answer what we do not know.
Want to ask us what the exact date for the Summer Update is? We cannot tell you because we do not know. (It is still in the depths of testing.)
There is some information that we are not going to share.
Want to know what the next Civ is? That is something we are not yet willing to share. (Why take all that teasing fun away from AOEO Trajan?)
There are some things we cannot share due to business constraints.
Want to know how much money we are making per civ? Sorry, we simply cannot reveal that information.

So what CAN you expect an answer for?
Want to know why a civ was not adjusted in the latest balance patch? Ask away!
Want to know how we decide which civ to do next? Ask away!
Want to know if we are putting in a specific feature request? Ask away!
Want to know why one feature was given priority over another? You guessed it... ask away!
