The Bronze Age is the third ancient civilization generator that provides Ideas in the game.

In this age, humans started using bronze to make their tools, and began pioneering new forms of learning like math, writing, and medicine.

In-Game Description[]

"Following the Neolithic Age, the Bronze Age is marked by the increase in (what else?) the use of smelted bronze. During this period some civilizations developed early systems of writing, centralized governments, organized warfare, medicine, and religion."

Design[]

The Bronze Age generator is an anvil with a hammer and a bar of presumably Bronze with sparks flying out.

Nail 20%

"Sumerians and Egyptians are among the first to forge simple, square nails out of bronze.The pin-shaped fasteners–soon available in a range of sizes and forms–revolutionize carpentry by making structures, ships, tools, and other objects sturdier."

Papyrus 20%

"In Egypt's Nile delta, the stems of an aquatic grass are processed into stiff white fabric. Papyrus makes strong sails, ropes, and floor mats. But, above all, its use as a portable writing surface spreads the new material far and wide."

"Start with sand. Mix in ash and limestone. Apply furnace until intensely hot. This process creates glass–a clear, hard, brittle substance that's used to make everything from cups to windows. Advances in glassmaking lead to the creation of mirrors and telescopes."

"Numerical values like 61, 601, and 6001 are confusing to compute until Babylonians invent a double-wedge symbol that marks a null position. In Maya and Hindu cultures, zero will become an integral concept in mathematics."
