Idle Ages / Ages / Qin Dynasty
Qin Dynasty is age 28 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 221 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 28 of 40 |
|---|---|
| Date | 221 BCE |
| Legendary | Qin Shi Huang |
| Automation | Needs Zhao Ji at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Qin Shi Huang, Li Si, Zhao Ji, Meng Jiangnu |
Qin Shi Huang 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
Qin Shi Huang unified the warring states into the first Chinese empire in 221 BCE. He standardized the script, coinage, and roads, began the Great Wall, and was buried with the Terracotta Army of thousands of clay soldiers.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Li Si, chancellor of Qin, was the architect of its legalist state and its unified script. He helped forge the empire, then joined a fatal succession plot after the First Emperor died, and the dynasty unraveled within years.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare Manager, level 5
Zhao Ji rose from a dancer to queen and then queen dowager of Qin, mother of the First Emperor. Her intrigues at the young empire court became the stuff of scandal and legend.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add. Levelling Zhao Ji to 5 is what automates Qin Dynasty.
Common
Meng Jiangnu searched the Great Wall for her conscripted husband. Learning he had died and been buried within it, she wept so bitterly that a section of the Wall collapsed to give up his bones.
Raises the output of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6.
