Medals are a resource whose main purpose is to unlock victory expansions. The number of medals needed to unlock next expansion increases with each expansion that has already been purchased. The cost of each victory expansion can be viewed here.
Uses
Medals can be used for:
- Buying expansions for your city.
- Buying extra attempts for the Guild Expeditions.
- Negotiating in the Guild Expeditions.
- Paying crew members for Arctic Harbor and Oceanic Terminal.
- Unlocking defending armies and placing sieges in the All Ages province of the Guild vs. Guild map.
Getting Medals
Special Buildings
Many special buildings produce medals. Some produce them automatically and must be collected after certain amount of time (usually 24 hours). Some special production buildings give medals as an option to be produced in a similar manner as production buildings produce supplies. Some special buildings might give medals randomly as one of the possible rewards, for example the Wishing Well.
The amount of medals produced depends on the age of the building. Therefore the medals production will increase when the building is advanced to the next age with the Renovation Kit or the One Up Kit.
Great Buildings
Many of the Great Buildings also produce medals. The amount of medals depends on the level of the Great Building. Those buildings are listed below:
| Building | Medals produced | |
|---|---|---|
| Colosseum | Provides  10 medals at level 1 and 35 medals at level 10. After level 10 additional 2-3 additional medals are gained with each level. Colosseum is considered as a bad option for medal production considering its large footprint.
|
| Deal Castle | Provides 40 medals at level 1 and 170 medals at level 10. After level 10 additional 9-16 additional medals are gained with each level.
|
| Gaea Statue | Provides 127 medals at level 1 and 367 medals at level 10. After level 10 additional 30 or less additional medals are gained with each level. The amount lessens with higher levels.
|
| The Blue Galaxy | Provides 140 medals at level 1 and 414 medals at level 10. After level 10 additional 33 or less additional medals are gained with each level. The amount lessens with higher levels.

The medals earned from random rewards increase when the player progresses through the ages. For exact amounts see Random Quest Rewards.
Daily Challenges also have a chance of rewarding medals.

Incidents
Common and uncommon incidents have a chance to reward medals. Also the amount depends on the players age. For exact amounts see Incident Rewards.
