The Golden Age is the fourth and final Age in Age of Empires Online.
Gameplay[]
- It comes after Silver Age.
- The only new building available for construction in this age is the Wonder.
- The most powerful units and all the champion unit upgrades become available, along with the final tier of military training and economic technologies, if the civilisation has access to them.
- During this age, players are often limited by the comparatively high cost of upgrades, which require almost the same quantity of resources as Wonders do.
- With Gold Mines depleting, using Caravans or Merchant Transports often becomes vital in this stage.
- It is often in this age that a player will invest in a more specific strategy.
- Requires exactly 75 seconds to research if you do not have any research speed increase bonuses.
- Requires 70 seconds to research in Champion Mode.
- Researched at the Town Center for the Greek, Celtic, Persian, and Norse Civilizations and the Ziggurat for the Babylonian Civilization. Egyptian Civilizations need to build the Temple of Ptah to advance to the Golden Age.
- Base cost is 1000 food, 1000 wood, 1000 gold and 600 stone for either the research or the respective building (200 more of each in Champion Mode).
- Celtic Civilisations need to build 20 houses before they can advance. On the other hand, they age up faster and cheaper than the rest (1200 food, 1200 gold, 600 stone)
- You can use this age after level 15.
- Increases the build limit on Town Centers by one for a total of four, making it possible to reach the population cap of 200.
