Marble Age

Marble Age: Remastered For Mac Osx

takes place mainly in Greece starting in 3000 BC, and playing through to 305 AD. That is 3305 years of constructing buildings, discovering technologies, and getting citizens to come to your city. In addition, players must handle diplomacy in order to make friends with other cities or go to war with them. Along the way, gamers can expect to be invaded by cities and unfriendly enemies. Although diplomacy is important, so too is having a strong army. Historical events happen throughout the game which will require choices to be made. The historical events happen as time advances. These events may either be beneficial for your budding civilization, or can be to your detriment, but there is always a choice still has to be made for each. If an enemy is on your border the choice might be to go to war with them or to pay tribute. Each choice that is made will determine how the citizens feel about it or it could cause an early end to the game. Citizen favor could go up or down and as in the case of paying tribute to an enemy such as Persia or Rome, it could wreck your economy for a while. Going to war when your city is not ready could abruptly end the game if your army - including allies - is not ready or able to defend! Generally, the minor bad effects like paying tribute will continue for a number of turns with 10 seeming to be a common number.

We All Have to Start Someplace

Age:
When Marble Age is first started, the player must choose the city they want to use. There are three different cities and they all come with completely different strengths and weaknesses. Other bonuses can be chosen as well. The three are Athens, Corinth, and Sparta. Athens specializes in diplomacy, so they have strong diplomats and government. Corinth's specialty is the ability to generate money and they are experts at trade. We all pretty much know what Sparta is all about from learning about them in history class. Sparta specializes in building strong armies and war fighting so chose carefully. Each city choice comes with an easy, medium, or hard setting; however, the settings really don't seem to effect game difficulty a whole lot. When I first started, I picked Sparta and a warning message popped up informing me that “Playing this Polis is harder and recommended only for more experienced players”. I reconsidered my choice and went back to picked Athens figuring it might be best in order to learn the game. Difficulty level seems to be governed more by city choice rather than the included difficulty levels. One major aspect of the game is in no way controlled by any setting in that historical events in the game can suddenly end your game and there's nothing you can do about it other than to try again.
After a city is chosen the game asks if you want to play a tutorial. After accepting, I began playing the tutorial. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like gameplay was any different than non-tutorial play. There did not appear to be anything that spelled out the basic features for a newbie to just jump right in. Although I chose to play through a tutorial, I only realized that I was playing the tutorial after a message popped up asking if I was ready to advance out of the tutorial. As a result, the tutorial option seems to be somewhat non-existent and on the weak side. Having said that, the game is easy enough to learn without the tutorial. In the beginning the lack of knowing the basics did kind of have me scratching my head though wondering what I should do next.

Hey, It's My Turn Now!


Like Sid Meier's Civilization, each turn early on advances the game 100 years. Time advances a hundred years for several turns and as more tasks need to be done a smaller number of years pass with each click of the next turn button. As the empire matures there will be a lot of things to do and as the end date gets closer, the years that pass with each turn will be lessened accordingly. It probably takes about 300 turns or so in total to get all the way to the end of a game with a win. Having to advance turns is a nice feature because time is not passing while you are thinking about what to do next like in other strategy games of this kind. There's no need for a pause button which makes me think of days gone by.
Marble Age in my opinion is the lite version of games such as Civilization, Age of Empires and others but players should not dismiss it for that reason. It does have a lot to offer. I was big into those titles in the past because I liked the complexity, the detail and figuring out the best actions to take based on what needed to be accomplished. Marble Age is more of a resource gathering title and it lets you pick game difficulty simply by choosing a city. These days I don't have a lot of time to be spending on complex strategy games that might take a month to complete. Marble Age might be less complex in some areas but game play that is based upon historical events is a rather novel approach. Marble Age: Remastered is a game that uses the same historical data model from the original Marble Age with the addition of new content and updated game play. The result is more of a casual experience for gamers who prefer a simpler and less complex strategy model. As a result, the game is easy to get in to and offers a gentle learning curve.

This this the guide for completing Marble Age: Remastered on hard difficulty with maximum result in minimum turns (200/200 on turn 270 for Athens, 190/190 on turn 246 for Sparta and Corinth).

The basic mechanics

  1. Focus your efforts
    • The essence of the game is the correct choice of the next goal (opening a key technology, construction of a building, etc.) and achieving it in the shortest possible way. After that, the next goal is selected. Don’t go in all directions at once. If your current goal is a technology, maximize your culture in all reasonable ways.
  2. Develop your economy
    • If there is no clear goal for a certain period, then perform general economic development. The approximate algorithm is as follows. Maximize the population until you reach the limit. If there are enough jobs for everyone, raise the population limit. If it’s not enough, do buildings to create new workplaces.
  3. Avoid famine
    • It’s usually necessary to keep the population from falling, because even a small negative population growth can lead to starvation and a sharp reduction in the population. For example, if at this stage your priority is culture, keep enough farmers so that the population does not decrease, and put the rest of the workers on culture. Also, you should usually keep the money stock greater than 0 (avoid bankrupcy).
  4. Attract settlers
    • The exception to rule 3 is the mechanics of attracting settlers. Attraction occurs when you buy a population limit and a lot of workplaces for farmers that cannot be processed by our current population (and also provided that the assimilation of previous settlers is completed). In this case, at the beginning of the next turn, as a result of the arrival of immigrants, our population will be equal to about 60% of the farmers’ limit, regardless of the current population. Therefore, on this move, completely remove all farmers and move them to other jobs.
  5. Don’t produce resources over limit
    • After reaching the population limit, keep the necessary number of farmers to maintain the population (rule 3), and redistribute the rest to other jobs. The same applies to the army and the fleet limit.
  6. Don’t forget your ships
    • If you produce a fleet, place newly produced ships on the trade routes at every turn.
  7. Don’t lose merchants
    • Merchants are lost when the trade disappears (if the relationship with the city falls below 2). It is necessary to monitor this and remove merchants from the city in time. Be sure to remove merchants from all cities before the unification of Greece.

Athens – 1st stage. Dorian invasion (T1 – T30)

  • The key to pass this challenge: not later than T29 you need to complete the task to increase the population to 150 (this gives +30 warriors) and open the Physical Training technology (this will allow you to produce several extra warriors to repel the attack).
  • To do this, sequentially set and complete the following goals:
    • Discover technologies: Craft – Farming – Mythology – Mining – Pottery. During this period maximize the Culture
    • Settlers attraction. Maximize Production until you accumulate 50 hammers. Then simultaneously build Houses and Gardens. On the next turn your population becomes 34. It does not matter how much it was before. Therefore, until this moment, don’t grow population at all.
    • Discover technologies: Kilning – Physical Training. And at the same time grow population up to 150. Workers’ priority: Culture > Population > Production. This goal must be completed not later than T29.
    • Training of a sufficient number of warriors to repel the attack. You need to accumulate strength 33. If necessary, build a Gymnasium.
  • T30 – repel the Dorian attack. Select “Exterminate captives”. After repelling the attack immediately ally Larissa by 2 envoys.
  • City appearance: Sparta and Knoss from the game start, T15 – Corinth, T30 – Larissa
  • Scouting: T11 – Peloponnese, T21 – Thessalia

Athens – 2nd stage. Persian invasion (T30 – T52)

  • The key to pass this challenge: not later than T51 conduct 3 alliances (this gives +200 warriors)
  • Sequentially set and complete the following goals:
    • Discover technologies: Education – Trade – Eloquence – The art of negotiation – Marble processing. Maximize Culture. Simultaneously produce the required number of hammers and build the Library and the Marble quarry. After discovery of the Eloquence and accumulation of sufficient amount of money ally Sparta (usually it’s about T35).
    • Second settlers attraction. Maximize Production, the secondary priority is Culture. At this stage you need to discover the Legislation and build the Market. Then discover Water supply, accumulate 2000 hammers and simultaneously build the Well and the Field. On the next turn your population becomes 360.
    • Alliance with Pella. Worker priorities: Money, then Population. The alliance must be conducted not later than T51 (you recieve 200 warriors). If Corinth attacks us, stop the attack by an envoy.
    • In parallel with the previous task, prepare the defense. You need to discover Reinforcements and build the Walls not later than T51. If there is enough culture, also discover the Seamanship to unlock merchants.
  • The Persians attack on T52. Choose “Prevent the crossing” (you need 2.8T Greece strength).
  • City appearance: T45 – Pella
  • Scouting: T31 – Epirus, T41 – Macedonia, T51 – Cretan Sea

Athens – 3rd stage. Further play on Greece map (T52 – T133)

  • The game becomes more flexible. The priority is economic development.
  • Approximate order of technologies: Wheel – Writing – Mathematics – Irrigation – Democracy – Monuments – Mechanic – Civilian reserves – Tactical formations – the rest in arbitrary order
  • Approximate order of buildings: Fountain – Barn – Road – Academy – Agora – Marble workshop – Drill field – the rest in arbitrary order
  • City appearance: T60 – Rhodes, T80 – Ephesus, T89 – Sardis, T120 – Troy, T130 – Miletus
  • Envoys. Ally Corinth, Knoss (not later than T94), then the rest of the cities as you accumulate envoys and money
  • Merchants. After the first merchant appears, start trading with Corinth (buy hammers). Gradually raise the number of purchased hammers to 8000.
  • Challenge “Alexander the Great” (T67)
    • From T57 to T66 send to Macedonia all the troops produced and the part of the population that does not have workplaces. On T66 send money, increasing the probability of passing the challenge.
  • Challenge “The rise of Rome” (T90 or T95)
    • Rome attacks on T90. You can postpone it to T95 giving 20K gold.
    • For the victory you need to accumulate approximately 30K strength including allies.
    • The main work is done by the allies, to which Corinth and Knossos must be added by this time.
    • Produce a certain amount of army to increase the strength to the required level. To do this, you must discover Tactical formations and build a Drill field.
  • Challenge “Skythian invasion” and the unification of Greece (T90 – T132)
    • After successfull completion of the first 4 challenges, the most difficult part is over. Gradually develop, explore all technologies, build all buildings, ally all cities, accumulate money and army needed to defeat the Scythians.
    • All problems with money are solved by building the Athena’s statue (+500K gold per turn). Don’t delay this too much.
    • Accumulation of the resources is very easy. At the end, you will have to spend a dozen moves waiting for Miletus and the Scythians.
    • The Scythians come at T132. Pay them money until their strength is reduced to the level where you can attack them. 5.4M of gold should be enough.
    • After that, take back all merchants from trade routes and unite Greece. For maximum game score, choose the Republic.
    • Accumulated scouts, envoys, merchants, generals, settlers remain when you move to the world map, so it’s better not to waste them.

    • After that, immediately build Gardens and Field and rapidly restore the population
  • Challenge “Hun invasion” (T169 – T189)
    • On T169 give them 4,4M + 4,7M + 5,1M + 5,4M + 5,8M = 25,4M gold. You may do it some later but it will be more expensive
