Campaigns are a collection of scenarios which are completed in a linear fashion. The game features four single-player campaigns in which the player is required to complete specific objectives. Advancement between ages is researched at the Town Center and each advancement brings the player new technologies, weapons, and units. These are the Stone Age (Mesolithic/Paleolithic), Tool Age (Neolithic/Chalcolithic), Bronze Age and Iron Age.

A major component of the game is the advancement through four ages. Each civilization has technologies unique to them, so that no civilization possesses all the technologies possible within the game. Twelve civilizations are available, each with individual sets of attributes, including a varying number of available technologies and units. Resources must also be preserved, as no new resources become available as the game progresses, meaning if you cut a tree down, the tree will not grow back. To ensure victory, the player must gather resources in order to pay for new units, buildings and more advanced technologies.
