Hi @raulramirez91, thanks for this report. I had a look at the recorded game and checked the Game Summary; it seems that the Ending Age was set to _Exploration Age_, so there would have been no way to advance in Age. Did you encounter this issue in a Ranked Match?

Please note the screenshot is displaying a separate issue where the map is not displayed within the Game Summary for recorded games.
