Latest update
Patch 1.0.5 status
Reviewed Sep 4: Patch 1.0.5 restored Save/Load in the UI. It applies to games played from that version onward, so older saves still need caution.
TroubleshootingSave/load after Patch 1.0.5
If the Load button is still missing or a save does not return, update Steam first, confirm the full app, then test with a throwaway session.
Plan your next move
A practical guide map for every early decision
Start with the beginner route, then jump directly to the system slowing down your settlement.
Core system
Resources and Economy
Read Food, Materials, and Gold as a connected system, then diagnose whether production, demand, or delivery is the real bottleneck.
Strategy
Settlements and Trade
Plan what each settlement should provide, connect local needs, and use trade links without creating fragile dependencies.
Planning
Buildings and Upgrades
Choose upgrades for the problem in front of you: missing capacity, weak production, or an overloaded delivery route.
Progression
Advancements and Great Temple
Understand how regional development feeds long-term progression and when the Great Temple should become part of your plan.
Logistics
Roads and Guardtowers
Connect settlements deliberately, protect important routes, and avoid paying for infrastructure that does not solve a current need.
Current info
Release and Demo Status
Check what is playable, where the Steam demo lives, and which official pages to use when availability or features change.

How the game fits together
Build locally, connect regionally, advance deliberately
A Little Age is a minimalist real-time strategy and settlement-building game by Benerot. You grow a region through local settlements, resource production, delivery links, roads, protection, and long-term advancement.
The useful question is rarely just what to build next. Strong play comes from reading local demand, deciding which settlement should produce what, and expanding only when the network can carry the extra load.
