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.
