The '''Early Middle Ages''' (often shortened to EMA) is the fourth age the player progresses through, and allows of technologies and building styles characterized by the predominant use of wood in the structures (e.g. [[Frame House]]s and [[Clapboard House]]s).

Starting with the decline of the Western Roman Empire, it is preceded by the [[Iron Age]] and followed by the [[High Middle Ages]]. This period suffers a population decline, a decline of trade, and increased immigration. The period has been labeled the "Dark Ages", a characterization highlighting the relative scarcity of literary and cultural output from this time.
