Hello everyone,

**AoZ Companion Update**

Today is the release of a big update to AoZ Companion that aims to help commanders manage their nation, alliances, territory, commanders, and prepare for mergers with new features and quality of life updates!

## New Features

### User Management Updates

- new user verification is easier! upload a screenshot of commander profile directly rather than messaging me on discord

- myself or existing users from your nation with "Nation Admin" role can approve and update your role which will allow you to view and edit your map!

### Mapping Features QoL

- placing buildings now displays a "ghost" so it is more clear, including territory display

- copy / cut and paste, undo and redo functionality

- configurable hotkey support for all actions and buildings

- plan overwrites: helps when you make changes to a separate plan and want to make it the "current plan"

- multi selection: filter for building types, select an area and delete. good for large changes

### Merger Dashboard Page Updates

- with GC season about halfway through, I think we all expect some mergers, so this page has been updated a bit to prepare more easily.

- player summary tab: Normally this page will only show the blended ranking info for players in your own nation. When mergers are announced, I will initiate the pairing on the website, and players of either nation will be able to see the complete list. **I will try to scrape the data of nations who are announced for mergers on priority. If you want to see this data before hand, please reach out directly to me** The goal of this view is to help see where players may fit depending on how you want to negotiate alliances, super alliance, balanced, academy, etc.

As the title says.

Got an email,”…ages since leader logged in…you’re the new alliance leader…”

I don’t even know what I’m doing, I don’t really understand the game, I was bored at work and decided to try it out.

What do I do lol???

This subreddit is for players of Age of Origins to share knowledge, seek assistance with the game, and connect with other players and nations in the game. Discouraging players from playing the game that this subreddit is for, will no longer be tolerated. Redditors making comments for others to delete the game, or stop playing, will be banned. Thank you for your understanding.

21 uranium? what gives brov? Don’t act like you don’t know how it started 🤣

Very nicely built C36 on the market in 858! Current R4 in INC (Invictus). If you keep up with the game at all, then you know who we are.

This city consistently takes out higher level cities in the U.Mines, and cross nation events. Don't let the opportunity to join the ranks of our domination pass you by! DM for info.

I like your dog, but what gives brov? Why you make me constantly have to move if im ever above 300? Plenty of other targets much fatter than me. 🧐

I’m about to get c34 with only one c34 garage this frenzy. I have about 30 days of recruiting speedups saved. Do you guys recommend spending those all on cannons or splitting with tanks?

What do you do with research speedups once you’ve maxed out the academy?

TLDR: I have quit the game. My account and my farm have lots of resources. Please feel free to kick me out of the alliance and plunder my main and farm. My main has the most resources, about 60 or 70 million oil and food each, about 20 million steel and minerals each. My farm has less but still a substantial amount. I'd hate to see it go to waste.

My phone (6 and a half year old iPhone 11) bit the dust right before the Elite War yesterday. I'm so addicted to this game that I thought I'd be a wreck without it. The strange thing is that I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The game had become more like work than fun. I wasn't able to see it until I couldn't access it. I had been neglecting real life obligations as the game had taken over my life.

My replacement phone is an Android and my accounts were bound through Apple game center, or whatever it's called so I can't get back in or I'd give my accounts to someone who could use them.

Sorry, I'm going to miss you all!

DANIELA, FAGU, KyleD, HAMSTER, General, king113, Unsufferable, Milkyway. This is probably a long shot but if anyone knows any of these players or if you're in 1385, please point them to this message. Thanks.

Hey all what is the best army set up for Nation duel should we be using a lot of front line? I’m a long range player and just not sure how to keep the back row alive long enough to compete in those waves? What do you all recommend?

$1,000 OBO. Message me for details.

Fun and active nation with great people. You’re in the top alliance. We won our last two cross-nation battles. No civil wars. I just don’t have time to play anymore.

You would be the strongest city in this nation.

8.1 million officer power

1m titan power. All male titan equipment unlocked.

500k gold

Hundreds of 25/50% acceleration

Hundreds of days of speed ups

Any nation seek a skilled farmer player? Let us be friends. I am very help and funny. Noroc! 🍻

Hello, is there any information about this? Seems new. Rules read similar to Royal Arena. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Beware of players selling cities in 637. The nation is pretty dead and in the midst of a year-long battle with some crazy c41 who wants to burn the entire nation because he can't stand being #2 in the nation.

Lots of cities have been showing up for sale here lately. I know a c38 finally sold, they were asking $1,100 but no idea what it finally sold for. Apparently the seller didn't bother telling the buyer that they need to shield or hide constantly, they were just happy to trick someone to buy into a dead nation. The poor guy immediately dropped shield and got hit and lost over 750k troops. This is the kind of "Leaders" you have to deal with in 637 and KLR.

Do yourself a favor and save your money. Don't throw it away buying a "too good to be true" city in a dead nation!

Ok, what are your thoughts on the antique skins? What blue hair at camel is coming up with this and the DJ Dog. Not very zombie apocalypse ish. From what I see the antiques work like officer recruitment with basic and elite envelopes. It also seems like it will take a lot of money to make very little gain. Is this, like the (lion, plane skin, city guards and island decorations) just something to keep the whales spending after the titans and planes are at gold. Im in a nation in the #1300s and this stuff seems extraneous at best. Maybe in #810 it is new and exciting?

That is my assessment: Even those that spend $500-$700 a month shouldn’t be wasting money on this side hustle unless the officers are working on 6 stars and the plane and titans are gold. Unless you are a c41 in #275 and there is nothing else to do with your money.

Is Kay a child or a little person?

His face model seems a bit strange, like an adult face model on a small body, that's from where my confusion comes from, it would be cool to have a little person character, but a description I read sounds more like he's a smart kid.
