Aetas

Build through the ages

Aetas is a real-time strategy game for PC about growing a settlement into an army. You begin with a town center, four workers and a forest. Gather wood, build farms around a mill, put up walls and train soldiers as you advance through seven ages, from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age. Spearmen become halberdiers, and archers become riflemen.

Advancing quickly brings stronger soldiers, while waiting gives you time to build a stronger economy. Once you reach the Bronze Age, you choose one of six civilizations. Northern peoples field berserkers, Steppe forces use horse archers, and Mediterranean armies hold the line with hoplites. Each civilization has a unique unit and a power you can use once per match, such as calling in troops, revealing a new gold vein or making every villager work faster.
