Idle Ages / Ages / Sassanid Persia
Sassanid Persia is age 35 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 226 CE. 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 35 of 40 |
|---|---|
| Date | 226 CE |
| Legendary | Ardashir I |
| Automation | Needs Murrod at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Ardashir I, Shapur I, Adur-Anahid, Murrod |
Ardashir 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
Ardashir I defeated the last Parthian king at Hormozdgan in 224 CE and was crowned king of kings at Ctesiphon two years later, founding the Sasanian empire. His rock reliefs show the crown handed to him by the god Ahura Mazda, a claim no Parthian had made.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Shapur I fought Rome for thirty years and in 260 CE captured the emperor Valerian alive, an event he had carved into cliff faces across Persia. His long inscription at the Ka’ba-ye Zartosht lists his realm, his victories and the members of his house.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare
Adur-Anahid was a daughter of Shapur I and held the highest rank a Sasanian woman could hold, queen of queens. She is named in her father’s great inscription at the Ka’ba-ye Zartosht, which is how we know her at all.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Common Manager, level 5
Murrod was queen to Ardashir I and the mother of Shapur I, who named her in his inscription at the Ka’ba-ye Zartosht among those for whom offerings were to be made. Little else about her survives, which was the ordinary fate of a Sasanian queen.
Raises the output of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6. Levelling Murrod to 5 is what automates Sassanid Persia.
