Catch-up mechanics

From Aether Kingdoms Wiki

There are several catch-up mechanics in Aether Kingdoms to help you out when starting later

  • More resource production
    • Village resource fields start at level 3 + 1 every 14 days.
    • Newly claimed tiles start with resource fields at level 1 + 1 every 14 days.
  • Faster second village
    • 200 Culture per day after the first day, up to 5000. You need 4000 to settle a second village.
    • Free Settlers unit after 24 days, so you can settle a new village right away.
  • Faster research
    • Early science costs go down significantly. The first 2 tiers after 28 days, then 1 tier per 28 days.
  • Faster development
    • 2 Builders per day after the first day, to help speed up anything you build.
    • Every week Aether gets more valuable. You get more resources per Aether, and buying units with Aether is cheaper too.
