Gold and food are used for constructing units and researching technologies. Stone is used for the construction of castles, towers, stone walls, and after the first patch, used in the construction of town centers as well. Wood is used for building and repairing most structures, used to create farms to provide food resources, and the production of ships, siege engines, and range units such as the various types of archers, and the skirmisher units. There are four types of resources, all of which are required to advance through the ages: wood, food, gold, and stone. Any unit having a higher elevation than the one it is attacking receives an attack bonus. The isometric rendered landscape features different elevations of terrain. The player has the power to order them to move or attack (all units except for trade carts, transport ship and trade ships), construct new buildings, gather necessary resources ( villager units), and perform a range of other tasks, such as repair damaged buildings or garrison inside castle or town center for safety. The player directly controls villagers, which are the most important economic unit in the game. Once the user has reached the Imperial Age, they gain access to all the upgrades, units, and buildings that may be built and researched for their specific civilization. Finally, the user can reach the Imperial Age, which is reminiscent of the early years of the Renaissance. The next age is the Castle Age, in which the powerful castle may be built, and used to produce powerful units including the unique unit of each civilization. After a short time, the user gains the ability to advance to the Feudal Age, where more upgrades, buildings, and units become available. The game begins in the Dark Ages, where very few buildings and units are available. The player has control over a society and guides them through four "ages".
