Better Than Wolves is organized into distinct "Ages" that represent different stages of the player's technological progress. Each Age in turn may be organized into separate Tiers that represent separate tasks that the player must achieve in order to progress to the next.
The Age of Wood is where most of the functionality of Better Than Wolves currently resides. It is separated into several distinct Tiers that represent various stages of development that you will need to achieve to fully progress through the Age. Overall, the Age of Wood represents the player's first attempts to automate various aspect of his existence through the construction of wood-based mechanisms.
