Let’s be real—mobile strategy games are a dime a dozen these days, but Era of Glory? That one actually stuck with me. Not because it reinvented the genre (it didn’t), but because it somehow nailed the balance between hardcore tactical planning and casual pick-up-and-play sessions. That mix has made it a sleeper hit, especially in the U.S., where it’s quietly crept into the top charts on both iOS and Android.

Now, if you’ve been playing even for a week, you already know the grind is real. Resources, gems, speed-ups—they vanish. Which is exactly why redeem codes are so valuable. These little freebies are the lifeline for players who don’t want to pour money into the game every weekend just to stay competitive.

So here’s what you’re getting in this guide:

• A regularly updated list of active Era of Glory codes for 2026
• Step-by-step instructions on how to redeem them (yes, even if you’re on iOS)
• A tracker for expired codes so you don’t waste time
• Real, practical ways to find new codes faster

I’ve been keeping tabs on this game since early 2025, so what you’re reading isn’t just a regurgitation of dev posts. It’s based on what actually works in practice.

What is Era of Glory?

If you haven’t played yet—or maybe you just installed it and you’re still figuring out what’s going on—Era of Glory is a historical real-time strategy game with some MMO elements baked in. Think Clash of Clans meets Civilization, but set during the Age of Exploration.

You’re managing a base, building armies, forging alliances, and slowly expanding across a stylized map that mixes PvE conquest with PvP territory wars. There’s a definite military sim vibe to it, though it leans more fun than realistic.

From what I’ve seen in U.S. gaming circles (Reddit, Discord, even TikTok), its player base has been growing steadily—especially since Tap4Fun pushed harder with U.S. marketing in Q3 of 2025. That’s when I started noticing more American players showing up in global chat and alliance wars.

The gameplay loop is pretty standard for the genre:

1. Build your base
2. Upgrade key structures
3. Train your troops
4. Attack or defend in skirmishes
5. Participate in limited-time events or seasonal campaigns

What sets it apart is its slightly slower pacing and a more tactical unit system. You can’t just spam troops and win. Or, well—you can try. But that’s how you burn through resources in a week and end up begging your alliance for help.

Latest Working Era of Glory Codes (January 2026 Update)

Here’s what you came for. I double-checked these codes as of January 17, 2026, so they’re still valid (for now).

Note: Codes are case-sensitive, and most of them expire without warning—usually tied to monthly events or seasonal promos.

From what I’ve noticed, most codes give a mix of gems and some kind of resource boost, though occasionally they’ll throw in a commander chest or a teleport. Keep in mind: some of these are single-use per account and region-locked (I learned that the hard way with the Lunar Event ones).

How to Redeem Era of Glory Codes on Mobile

This part confused me at first—mainly because the code section is weirdly buried in the settings. Here’s the step-by-step, based on what I do on my Android, though it’s pretty much identical on iOS.

Step-by-step:

1. Open Era of Glory and wait until your city fully loads.
2. Tap your profile icon (top-left corner).
3. Hit Settings → then scroll down to Redeem Code.
4. Type in the code exactly as listed (caps included).
5. Hit Confirm and check your in-game mail for the rewards.

Now, here’s something I didn’t realize early on: you can’t redeem a code twice, even if it’s tied to a new event. If it says “invalid,” it might just mean you’ve used it before—or it’s expired.

If you’re getting weird error messages like “Code Not Found” or “Try Again Later,” it usually means the server hasn’t recognized the batch yet. I’d wait an hour and try again before giving up.

Expired Codes: What No Longer Works

I started tracking these after burning way too much time trying to use old codes from Reddit posts that hadn’t been updated in months. So yeah—here’s a quick archive of codes that used to work but don’t anymore.

Most of these were tied to seasonal promos or launch events, so don’t expect them to get reactivated. I’ve noticed Tap4Fun rarely reissues the same code more than once.

How to Get More Codes: Tips and Sources

Alright—if you’re serious about playing Era of Glory without throwing real money at it every other day, keeping up with new codes is essential. They don’t announce them in-game all that often, which means you need to be proactive.

Here’s what’s worked for me:

1. Follow the official Facebook and X (Twitter) pages

They post codes there randomly—usually tied to events or patch notes. Sometimes it’s hidden inside an image or video post (I’ve missed more than a few that way).

2. Join the official Discord server

That place is chaotic, but they have a codes channel that’s updated faster than anywhere else I’ve seen. I keep it muted, but I check in once a week.

3. Watch U.S. YouTubers and streamers

A few mid-size creators (like @MobileTacticsYT and @Tap4FunTricks) get early access to exclusive promo codes for their audience. They’re usually only valid for 48 hours, though, so timing matters.

4. Check Reddit threads (r/EraOfGloryGame)

It’s hit or miss, but sometimes players post fresh codes there even before they show up on socials. Just make sure the timestamp is recent.

Final Thoughts

Here’s the thing about Era of Glory: It rewards consistency more than cash. Sure, you can pay your way to the top—but if you’re smart about resource management and keep up with these free codes, you’ll stay competitive without spending a dime.

I’ve hit top 200 in my server without buying a single pack—and honestly, it’s mostly because I don’t ignore the little stuff, like codes and dailies. That, and I learned not to waste speed-ups on barracks upgrades. But that’s a different rant.

If you’re playing in 2026 and want to stay ahead?
Bookmark this page. I’ll be updating it every week, or whenever Tap4Fun drops a fresh promo.

And hey, if you find a code I missed—drop it in the comments. I’ll verify it and add it with credit. Let’s keep each other winning.
