Age of Origins Elite War
Age of Origins Officers Guide
Please note, this is a work in progress and will continue to update as time allows. There is a lot here as you can see!
The Basics - Age of Origins Advanced Guide
This guide is going to be detailed and pretty long. I will link out to other resources on the site to help catch you up to speed. I will assume you have an idea of what you're doing and if you don't keep researching the site until you understand it.
I will assume you are a free to play (f2p) player. This isn't exactly F2P because if you want to play I think you need to unlock the second building queue (more on this later). It's $5, just buy a gift card to support me for Apple Appstore or Android Google Play Store and move on (Thanks!). This will be helpful if you're going to spend too but you have to understand that you will need to grind. I play this game hours everyday.
Prep - Doing Your Homework! - Age of Origins Advanced Guide
When you start, you will need to understand where the nation is at in the overall globe. You will be playing against these nations in the future so the older the nation, the more time you will have had to grow. You will need to have a game started so you can monitor when the new world/nation is available.
Creating Farms
I love farms and have over 35 of them right now. Not sure how to make a farm, use our Create New Farm Guide.
I would recommend playing on a computer and using MEmu. Download it now and get started, it will change your life! Now that you have determined which nation you are going to play in. (you can share the game to another phone and install fresh for some extra perks). Now it's time to determine how many farm accounts you want. I would have 4-6 farms for oil, 4-6 farms for food, 4-6 farms for steel, and 4-6 farms for minerals. Don't forget about your main account. Yes this is could be 16-24 accounts. You will want some farms, TRUST ME! Maybe not to this extent but they are extremely valuable. When I started it was 2 farms and then grew that to 15 farms within 1 week. Wish I had this guide when I started and I will reference it when I start a new game. Other things you need is 1 gmail account for 2 farms with Google Play Games to bind. So let's create 8 new gmail accounts. Make the username something easy to remember.

Download the game on one instance of MEMu and get it all ready to play with your [email protected] account logged in too. Once it's ready you will want to clone the the instance 16 times. You may need a new computer to handle the load, mine is decent. Don't start the tutorial until you have 6 instance of the game running at the same time. You can use the Synchronizer tool to have 1 game control the other 5 instances. Depending on how good your computer is you can increase or decrease the number of instances. I can have 8 instances running at a time, I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core and 32GB of RAM. We aren't really using the graphics card for this. The 9th instance I start to have computer issues. Here's a guide on how to tweak your MEMu instances so you can run more at one time!
Starting the Game - Age of Origins Advanced Guide
Go through the tutorial and please note that the first account is your main account. This will be determined by which hero drops for you. Start awakening your titan early as possible. Save your speeds. Join an active alliance. Follow the Dooms Day Recovery Plan. Once the tutorial is over you will want to bind the email and Google Play Game accounts so we don't lose all this work. Instance 1 can bind email to [email protected] and bind to Google Play Games. Instance 2 will use the same email address but will add a period and the email will go to instance 1 email. Instance 2 can bind email to [email protected] (which sends email to [email protected]) and you can use Google Play Games with [email protected]. Now do this for the remaining instances until you have 16 ready to go! I needed to do this in 3 'waves'. It's important to do the exact same steps for each instance in the wave so they are identical and using the Synchronizer. You need to decide if you are going to join an alliance or create your own. At a minimum, there will be 2 alliances, 1 for you main account and active players. The 2nd alliance will be for farms. It's your choice if you create or join one. You may want to create an alliance as the request for help and helping give you a huge boost across all accounts. The main alliance, you want to make sure there's a good spender and building out alliance buildings quickly to get perks and elite mines etc.
The Golden Hammer provides the extra queue and don't buy that until we determine when which account is the main. In your Doomsday Recovery Plan there is a Use Elite Recruit 1 times. Don't use the 1 recruit! Always do the x9 Recruit 10 times as this gives you 1 free recruit. Use 9 and get the 10th free! This will determine which account is primary and who the full fragment hero will be. The main account you want a purple hero (like Major Morgan or a Warefare purple hero). Continue the Doomsday Recovery Plan on the farm accounts and the soon to be main account. Save all your items until there's an Event that will give you perks to complete it, this is huge and will give you a boost. Like the City Upgrade Event which give you 15 days to get to city level 16, it is possible to do in a F2P. There is an Explore Quest for Lucy and wait till you see this in your Quest. Do not Explore yet! You can do surgery items now. Save mutant items, save elite recruits, and anything you'll use for a Quest. I would star up the blue hero, Ginger, to get the construction boosts. Make sure she's assigned. Complete the tower defense quests for extra perks. Don't use Commander Skills until you know what is a farm vs main account. You may want to do the Development path all the way through Harvest on your main account too. You will want to change your Commander name and your avatar for your main account. You will want to change the Commander name for all your farm accounts. I like to change 1 letter of the alphabet for each of my farms. This way everyone knows it's yours and a farm. Click the specials and all the free items. This will change daily and need to gather those.
You need to plan ahead for what buildings you need to upgrade to get to the next city level. Use that second queue to upgrade and stay ahead. Here's a chart for what's required for each city level. You will also need to keep progressing through the Doomsday Recovery Plan at the same time.
City level 7 has the Infected Exploration 1 times. Recommend finding the path that has 3 white envelopes or purple envelopes for normal recruit orders or elite recruit orders. This is for new commanders! Don't do the apartus heal until there's a quest to do it. Use normal recruit orders as I don't think there is a quest for it. Don't fuse blue or purple heros/commanders.
Distribution Center or exchange centers. Main account you won't use green and most blues so you can sell those off (buy Tifa or warfare heroes or recruiting or gathering purples too. You may need to use Butterfly depending on luck) . Farm account use Jesse and Godfather. Recommend purchasing Officer Skills Chest.
Quest to training Officer level 10, I would do Ginger and can reset that later if desired.
Alliances - check the power rankings and find someone that is going to spend. You want to see there are some heavy spenders in the your world or all of this goes to waste! The first or second day you should be players at level 20, this is a good sign and people are spending. The alliance ranking at the beginning isn't that important the first week. If the world doesn't look good like no spenders or lots of fighting early, it might be time to start in a new world. Make sure to check this out before buying the hammer on your primary account.
Build up houses and explore ruins to build up prosperity.
You want to keep the Academy researching non-stop and building queues going non-stop.
Gathering resources is good but always leave 1 of each resource type and leave the titan in the city.
I would wait to buy the Golden Hammer until the 2nd day. Is the nation progressing faster than you and spending money? If yes, then time to buy! Buy this gift card and help us out. It doesn't cost you anything!
I believe the math works out and if you do 18 elite orders you should be guaranteed 1 purple hero. There is some fancy close out the game and retry again if you got a purple hero and it might drop another one. I'm not sure if there's enough evidence to support this.
City level 9 and farms to city level 10. City level 10 you can start placing flags. At the beginning, you have to place flags with gold. Alliance Buildings. R4 uses Alliance Points. Follow the City Level Guide Requirements
Daily Request - do as much as possible and you may not be able to reach the last chest till a little further in the game.
Speeding builds? Be mindful and use your speeds and wait a minute or two.
Infinite Zombies unlocks at city level 10. Buy Armament when on discount, good use of gold. Check armament daily for deals. Check out Infinite Zombie Guide. Only spend on Friday when the week restarts. Then use auto.
Events Drag Racking Trials - create the team and get passive bonus. Disassemble all cars you aren't using. Day 1 will be hard. Day 2 with elite recruits and officer XP might be able to do.
Titan Power Boost Event - now is the time to use mutant meat! Some good rewards here.
City level 13 opens up the workshop and now you can make T5 troops!
