Idle Ages / Ages / Constantinople
Constantinople is age 37 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 330 CE. You unlock it with coins the ages below it earned. From there it produces on its own cycle, with its own upgrade costs and its own four heroes.
| Position | Age 37 of 40 |
|---|---|
| Date | 330 CE |
| Legendary | Constantine the Great |
| Automation | Needs Eusebius of Caesarea at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Constantine the Great, Helena, Fausta, Eusebius of Caesarea |
Constantine the Great raises every age you own at once. The other three raise this one. All four carry a piece of written history that unlocks as you level them.
Legendary
Constantine won the Roman empire in a series of civil wars, ended the persecution of Christians, and on 11 May 330 CE dedicated a rebuilt Byzantium as his new capital. The city kept his name for the next sixteen centuries.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Helena was an innkeeper’s daughter who became the mother of an emperor and then Augusta in her own right. In her seventies she travelled through the eastern provinces founding churches, and tradition credits her with finding the cross in Jerusalem.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare
Fausta was the daughter of one emperor, the wife of another, and the mother of three more. She was named Augusta in 324 CE at the height of Constantine’s power, and two years later she died at his order in circumstances the sources will not explain.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Common Manager, level 5
Eusebius was bishop of Caesarea and the first real historian of the Christian church, gathering documents nobody else thought to keep. He also wrote a life of Constantine, which is why so much of what we know about the founding of Constantinople comes through him.
Raises the output of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6. Levelling Eusebius of Caesarea to 5 is what automates Constantinople.
