Has any information released about a transition mecanic between the ages? 

Just one Click to transit from Rome (Classical Age) to Khmer (Middle Age) seems rather underwhelming from a gamepoint perspective. There has to be more. 

I hope you guys come up with something interesting regarding the transition between Ages and Cultures. Uprsings, Civil Wars, Invations, etc. 

From what i understood thats it

Idont think its required to have more than that

i have no clue

Era stars

Well, it's a game, so I don't really mind about how work the transition for the moment. For me, this abstraction is necessary, because we will go from a culture to a radically different one sometimes.

"What if, Aztecs became a sort of Edo society with Samurai" (Hissho vibe).

But I must admit, than I like your ideas. If later, the game is extended, working on transitions, with events for exemple (?), seems an interesting idea.

I'm sure there will be a little more pizzazz than there is currently in the finished game: given this is kind of the main 'feature' of the whole game it needs a little more than a button press and some buildings changing skins.

However, I even imagine a unique video showing each culture turning into each other one would be a bit too expensive, and whilst your ideas sound really fun, I think they're probably outside the scope of the game at launch. Fingers crossed they do get added!

I just played the stadia opendev beta (available between 21/10/20 and 28/10/20) and I really like the fame and culture transition ideas. I just wanted to share one thought.

It would make more sense to me that if you want to transition from let's say a science focused culture to a military focused culture that you have to obtain some fame or era star(s) related to military. It would also make sense to me that if you, in a certain era are playing let's say a science focused culture that you have to obtain some fame or era star(s) related to science before you can transition.

What if the reason you are selecting a culture is because you're really behind in that category and want to fix it? It wouldn't make sense to require you to get a star before that then.

I just find it a bit strange that your culture can transition to a military focused culture when you have very little military experience. I'm talking about a feeling of earning your particular transition. It's just a thought. It might indeed make shifting plans with the culture transition slower, which will probably also be part of the fun.

Just imagine that there's a coup or something where a really powerful leader caused sweeping changes. No one knew who Macedon was until Alexander the Great came along and started a major conquest spree.
