Idle Ages / Ages / Neo-Babylon
Neo-Babylon is age 17 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 626 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 17 of 40 |

| Date | 626 BCE |
| Legendary | Nebuchadnezzar II |
| Automation | Needs Adad-Guppi at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Nebuchadnezzar II, Amytis, Nabonidus, Adad-Guppi |
Nebuchadnezzar 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
Nebuchadnezzar II made Babylon the largest city on Earth, with the Ishtar Gate glazed in blue and, legend says, the Hanging Gardens built for a homesick queen. The Bible remembers him as the conqueror of Jerusalem; Babylon remembered him as its greatest builder.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Amytis, a Median princess, married Nebuchadnezzar II to seal an alliance between empires. Legend says she grew homesick for her green mountain homeland, so the king built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon - terraces of trees in the desert - to console her. Historians still argue whether they existed; the story outlived the city.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare
Nabonidus, the last king of Babylon, was history’s first archaeologist: he excavated ruined temples, dated them from old inscriptions, and displayed his finds. He vanished into the Arabian desert for ten years, leaving his son Belshazzar in charge - and returned just in time to lose the empire to Cyrus.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Common Manager, level 5
Adad-guppi was a priestess of the moon god in Harran who lived to 104 years old and raised her son Nabonidus to become the last king of Babylon. Her tomb inscription, written in her own voice, tells a century of Mesopotamian history as one woman’s life.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6. Levelling Adad-Guppi to 5 is what automates Neo-Babylon.
