Idle Ages / Ages / Neo-Assyria
Neo-Assyria is age 12 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 911 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 12 of 40 |
|---|---|
| Date | 911 BCE |
| Legendary | Ashurbanipal |
| Automation | Needs Libbali-sharrat at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Ashurbanipal, Sennacherib, Naqia, Libbali-sharrat |
Ashurbanipal 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
Ashurbanipal, the last great king of Assyria, could read and write in several dead languages - rare for any king. He collected over 30,000 clay tablets into the Library of Nineveh, preserving the Epic of Gilgamesh for us to find 2,500 years later. His empire was the largest the world had yet seen.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Sennacherib rebuilt Nineveh into "the palace without rival," with parks, orchards, and aqueducts carrying mountain water 50 kilometers to the city. Some scholars argue his gardens, not Babylon’s, were the real Hanging Gardens. The Bible remembers his siege of Jerusalem; his own annals boast of shutting its king in "like a bird in a cage."
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Naqia rose from obscurity to become the most powerful woman in the Assyrian Empire, mother of one king and grandmother of another. She built palaces, commanded oaths of loyalty in her own name, and steered succession politics for three reigns - all without ever holding the crown herself.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Common Manager, level 5
Libbali-sharrat appears beside her husband Ashurbanipal in the famous Garden Party relief, sharing wine under grape vines - the only known Assyrian artwork of a king and queen dining together. Her name means "the Inner City is queen," and she traded letters with princesses as an equal.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6. Levelling Libbali-sharrat to 5 is what automates Neo-Assyria.
