How many turns do you like each age to last, roughly?
In the context of the original game, that doesn't focus on any specific age. A total game time of somewhere between 400-600 turns.
There will be more things to manage as the game goes on, and movement is increased too, so things happen quickly in the later eras. It also helps to think about the things you can do in each age.
Ancient:
- Before monarchy, with a tyranny city limit of 10-16 to push against. It's all about the first cities and early expansion.
- This is the amount of time you like to be using units like warriors, hoplites, archers, slavers and coracles. And constructing buildings like city walls, granaries, shrines. Wonders like Pyramids, Ramayana etc...
Classical:
Catapults...
Middle Ages:
Knights...
Renaissance:
Gunpowder, ocean faring...
Industrial:
Industrial revolution, factories...
Modern:
