How To Advance Ages In Age of Mythology Retold

Understanding how to progress through the ages is fundamental to success in Age of Mythology Retold. This guide will walk you through each age advancement, from the Archaic Age all the way to unlocking the Titan Gate. Learn the resource requirements, building prerequisites, and god selection process for each transition.

Archaic Age to Classical Age Advancement

The Town Centre is your primary building for advancing through ages. You’ll notice at the top of your screen the current age you’re in—starting with the Archaic Age. To advance to the Classical Age, locate and click the age advancement button in the Town Centre interface.

The Classical Age advancement requires 400 meat and takes 60 seconds to complete. Make sure you have this resource gathered before initiating the upgrade. Once you’ve confirmed you have enough meat, you’ll be prompted to select a minor god.

As the Greeks, you can choose from three minor gods: Eva, Athena, or Hermes. Each selection grants you specific mythical units, unique god powers, and exclusive technologies. Review these benefits carefully before making your choice, as this will shape your military and economic strategy for the Classical Age.

Classical Age to Heroic Age Advancement

Progressing from Age 2 to Age 3 introduces a new requirement: you must first construct either an Armory or a Market before you can advance to the Heroic Age. This building prerequisite ensures you have the proper infrastructure in place.

Once your Armory or Market is completed, the Heroic Age advancement requires 500 gold and 800 meat. This represents an increase in resource costs compared to the Classical Age transition. After gathering these materials, you’ll again select a minor god to unlock their associated benefits for this age.

Heroic Age to Mythic Age Advancement

The jump from Age 3 to Age 4 requires constructing a Fortress before you can advance to the Mythic Age. Building a Fortress is a significant commitment, as it demands substantial resources and construction time.

The Mythic Age advancement costs 1,000 meat and 1,000 gold—double the resources needed for the Heroic Age. This steep increase reflects the power spike and strategic importance of reaching the final age. Once again, you’ll select a minor god to complete your advancement.

Unlocking the Titan Gate

After reaching the Mythic Age, you have the option to pursue the Secrets of the Titans. This special advancement grants you a powerful god power that enables the placement of the Titan Gate—the ultimate military structure in Age of Mythology Retold.

Summary

Age advancement in Age of Mythology Retold follows a clear progression path, with each transition requiring increasing resource investments and building prerequisites. Start with the Town Centre in the Archaic Age, then unlock the Armory or Market for the Heroic Age, and finally construct a Fortress to reach the Mythic Age. Remember that resource costs escalate significantly at each step, so plan your economy accordingly. Don’t forget to carefully select your minor gods at each age transition, as their unique units, powers, and technologies will directly impact your gameplay strategy moving forward.
