Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not recommended — game mechanics, strategic complexity, and fantasy combat are inappropriate for preschool children.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Generally not recommended — younger children will struggle with the resource-management and real-time decision-making; if allowed, require close adult supervision and stick to single-player with simplified goals.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

May be appropriate with parental guidance — players can enjoy campaigns and learn strategy, but supervise online interactions and limit playtime; consider disabling online multiplayer for younger players.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Appropriate with standard guidance — teens can handle the strategy and competitive modes; remind them about online safety, moderation settings, and optional purchases.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Appropriate — full strategic features, multiplayer and DLC are suitable for older teens and adults; encourage responsible spending and safe online behavior.
