Thutmose

Strategic Use

The numeric advantage on Thutmose — villagers gather 8% more wood from trees. — looks modest in isolation but converts into a real edge once your civilization is operating at full production tempo.

Pair this advisor with a strong economic civilization so the bonus throughput isn't bottlenecked by resource shortages or population cap pressure.

Treat Thutmose as a build-defining choice rather than a flex pick — that's where the advisor delivers its full value.

Lore & Etymology

The name Thutmose is rooted in the Multi-civilization tradition — mixed historical tradition spanning multiple cultures — giving the advisor a thematic identity even when used outside their associated civilization.

Other Epic Advisors

If you want Epic-tier alternatives that take your build in a different direction than Thutmose, these advisors offer distinct strategic angles:

• Hatshepsut — Age IV, combat focused
• Nannus — Age IV, economy focused
• Elder — Age II, utility focused
• Arash — Age IV, military focused
• Sekhet — Age IV, military focused

Timing Within Age I

The opening Age I phase is where focused players gain ground; an advisor like this one helps small advantages snowball into a fast Age II.

How to Obtain Thutmose

Players targeting Thutmose should focus on the Epic-reward quest sequences in their faction storyline. Random drops also occur but are less reliable.
