1.Explosive Launch Success
$11 million/month in revenue post-launch, averaging $500 k/day in global earnings
In China alone, the game reached nearly ¥100 million (≈ $13.9 million) in under a month, with peak daily earnings around ¥6 million (~$834 k)
Over 5 million downloads worldwide in early launch stages —a testament to the strong 4X/RTS pedigree.
These figures show how the game hit the ground running—meaning plenty of early achievements ripe for the taking by active players.
2. Understanding Core Mechanics & Stats
Hero Stats & Progression
Every hero stats are defined by Might, Armor, Strategy, and Siege:
+0.15% per point to troop stats (attack/defense, strategy, siege), doubling to +0.3% for skill effects
Max hero level is 120, with leveled heroes granting 51 talent points to customize builds
Star/medal rankings further enhance base stats, unlocking powerful bonus effects .
Synergy & Lineups
Pair heroes with matching military specialty: 2 heroes = +20% stats, 3 heroes = +30%
Focus on same unit type (archers, cavalry, etc.) to gain up to +15% bonus
Gear synergy matters—equip hero-specific gear for maximum boost .
Mastering these systems accelerates achievement milestones—like “win a battle with X heroes fully leveled” or “reach hero level 120.”
3. Achievement Pacing & Examples
While Age of Empires Mobile’s achievement tracking stats aren’t public, insights from Age of Empires IV show:
Only ~55% of players complete the tutorial achievement.
~50 % earn a basic Landmark victory
For the mobile version, using focused hero builds and completing milestone tasks—leveling heroes, winning skirmishes, earning gear—can help you stand out in an achievement–hungry player base.
4. Beginner Strategy: Steps to Fast Success
Daily hero XP: Fight barbarians and claim XP tomes via events/quests . Unlock talents early (e.g., “Field Battle XP +5‑15%”).
Perfect lineups: Target synergy from day one—matching specialties & unit types.
Gear up: Prioritize equipment that boosts hero offense/defense.
Complete milestones: Aim for hero levels (e.g. Level 60, 100, 120), star upgrades, and signature skill max.
Alliance & events: Joining an active alliance gives boosts and gear rewards.
Resource focus: Gather efficiently—plenty of guides show players pulling in over 25 M resources/day
—to fund upgrades and march capacity.
This roadmap speeds you through typical achievement checkpoints like star milestones, hero max-levels, and battle victories.
5. Why It Matters: Data-Driven Growth
Mobile strategy games rely on four key metrics: Acquisition, Engagement, Retention, Monetization. By focusing on progression and achievement, you’re reinforcing:
Engagement: keeping your DAU/MAU high.
Retention: unlocking achievements encourages returning play.
Monetization-friendly progression, without pay-to-win shortcuts.
In other words, fast progression isn’t just satisfying—it’s smart.
