🧠Getting Started
New commander roadmaps, first-week priorities, and the fundamentals of surviving the zombie apocalypse.
Age of Origins hands new commanders a tutorial, a handful of free upgrades, and then very little direction. The first two weeks decide more about your account than the two months after them, because the mistakes are cheap to make and expensive to undo — a Main Hall pushed too fast leaves you with a level 20 city and level 12 defenses, and a wrong nation choice follows you until you spend real money to leave it.
These guides cover the opening: what to build, what to ignore, which of the game's dozen currencies actually matter early, and how to read the difference between progress and the appearance of progress. Start with the beginner's hub for the map of the whole game, then the first week roadmap for a day-by-day plan.
If you are still deciding whether the game is for you — or you arrived from one of the ads — the honest breakdown of the ads versus the real game is the page to read before you invest a month in a server.
