Hittites is age 7 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 1650 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 7 of 40 |
|---|---|
| Date | 1650 BCE |
| Legendary | Suppiluliuma I |
| Automation | Needs Henti at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Suppiluliuma I, Puduhepa, Muwatalli II, Henti |
Suppiluliuma I 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
Suppiluliuma I rebuilt a collapsing kingdom into a superpower that humbled Egypt and Mitanni. His power grew so great that a widowed queen of Egypt - likely Tutankhamun’s - wrote asking to marry one of his sons. He sent a prince; the prince was murdered on the road, and the two empires marched to war.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Puduhepa, a priestess who became the Hittites’ great queen, co-ruled for decades and corresponded with pharaohs as an equal. Her royal seal stands beside her husband’s on the Treaty of Kadesh - the first peace treaty in history - making her one of the first women to sign international law.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Muwatalli II met Ramses II at Kadesh in the largest chariot battle ever fought - some 5,000 chariots. Ramses covered his temple walls with claims of victory, but Muwatalli kept the city and the border. The stalemate produced the world’s first surviving peace treaty.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare Manager, level 5
Henti, great queen beside Suppiluliuma I at the empire’s height, managed the royal court and cult duties of a realm stretching across Anatolia. Then she vanishes from the record - likely exiled when a new queen arrived - a quiet mystery of palace politics 3,300 years old.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add. Levelling Henti to 5 is what automates Hittites.
