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.
