I was absolutely shocked when I saw this, this is so awesome in so many ways. It resembles Age of Empires but much better graphics.

Age of Empires has this thing where you can upgrade your empire to the Castle age or Imperial Age I wonder if this game has that?

This game also features a similar system, but it's more sophisticated.

Really? where can I read about it. AOE has the in game advance empire thing going where you can upgrade your entire empire to the next level I thought it was pretty cool.

I'm not sure I would call the system more sophisticated than AoE, it is very similar. There are three phases; Village, Town and City which work similarly to the AoE series, unlocking units, buildings and technologies. The idea behind only having three is that the first age in AoE tended to be quite limited so in 0 A.D. the aim is to make the village phase more significant with it being more like the second age in AoE2/AoM in terms of available units.
