Idle Ages / Ages / Egypt New Kingdom
Egypt New Kingdom is age 8 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 1549 BCE. 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 8 of 40 |
|---|---|
| Date | 1549 BCE |
| Legendary | Ramses II |
| Automation | Needs Hatshepsut at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Ramses II, Nefertiti, Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut |
Ramses II 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
Ramses the Great ruled for 66 years, fathered around 100 children, and covered Egypt in colossal statues of himself. After fighting the Hittites to a draw at Kadesh, he signed the earliest peace treaty whose text survives - a copy hangs at the United Nations today.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Nefertiti stood beside Akhenaten through Egypt’s religious revolution, worshipping the sun disk Aten. Her painted bust, found in a sculptor’s abandoned workshop, became one of the most recognized faces of the ancient world. Some scholars believe she briefly ruled as pharaoh herself.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Tutankhamun was a minor king who died at nineteen - and became the most famous pharaoh of all, because his tiny tomb was the only royal one found nearly intact. The golden mask, the treasures, the "curse" headlines of 1922: Tut gave the modern world its image of ancient Egypt.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare Manager, level 5
Hatshepsut ruled as pharaoh for two decades around 1470 BCE, the most successful woman ever to hold the title. She sent trade expeditions to the land of Punt and built the breathtaking terraced temple at Deir el-Bahri. Her successor tried to erase her from every monument - and failed.
Raises the output of their own age. Every level doubles what they add. Levelling Hatshepsut to 5 is what automates Egypt New Kingdom.
