Jason

Build Application

Slotting Jason into your Age IV advisor slot tells your opponent you're investing in military; the bonus (hetairoi veteran can be trained at the fortress) is most impactful in extended matches where stat compounding matters.

Map type strongly influences value — open maps with frequent skirmishes reward different advisor archetypes than closed boom-heavy maps.

Most published deck-building guides include Jason or a comparable military-focused advisor for similar reasons: predictability and clean stacking.

Recommended Companions

Within the military archetype, several advisors layer cleanly with Jason. Players running a focused military build often rotate one of these as a second slot:

• Sekhet (Common, Age IV) — Elephant Archers cost 15% less Gold
• Nynetjer (Rare, Age III) — Desert Archer Master can be trained at the Fortress
• Zhubin (Epic, Age III) — Royal Guard Champion can be trained at the Fortress

Age IV Context

Late-game Age IV advisor slots reward players who have already built strong economies and just need a final efficiency push to close out the match.

Where to Get Jason

Uncommon advisors like Jason are widely available — early empire store purchases, beginner empire quests, and starter booster packs all yield this tier.

Uncommon-Tier Alternatives

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

• Hatshepsut — Age IV, combat focused
• Thoth — Age II, economy focused
• Leonnorios — Age I, combat focused
• Sostrate — Age III, construction focused
• Bolgios — Age III, construction focused

Name Origin

Lore-wise, Jason aligns with the Norse cultural sphere (Viking-era Scandinavia), one of the named factions playable in Age of Empires Online.
