Players will need to get as much Prestige as possible to win in Ara: History Untold. It is important to enter a Golden Age because, during these periods, Prestige generation increases by 25 percent. This means that if gamers were nearly done researching Philosophy, which would normally grant them 100 Prestige, but they entered a Golden Age right before completing the research, they would receive an additional 25 Prestige.

Golden Ages only last for 10 tens in Ara: History Untold, and gamers who want to take their city planning to the next level need to time their Triumph construction and more valuable research to coincide with this time so they can get as much Prestige from them as possible.

A good way to ensure players finish the construction of a Triumph during a Golden Age is by rushing the city project before the 10 turns come to an end.
