Army of Ages

What Army of Ages offers

Army of Ages puts a human force against an alien hive in a side-on technology battle. Workers gather water that becomes gold, buildings produce combat units, and new ages unlock different equipment. Its linked economy, production and enemy-base objective are close to the decisions that define Stick War.

The close connection is an army-versus-base contest: fund or recruit units, combine battlefield roles and choose when to defend or press towards the opposing side.

How to play

Use the current game's visible recruitment and army-order controls. Follow its tutorial for selecting units, spending resources and directing the battle.

Watch the economy and frontline together. A new recruit needs time and a useful role, while future income needs the current force to keep it safe. Begin with a modest production plan that you can understand, then observe which part of the first clash needs more support.

A useful first strategy

Keep the production economy active while preparing the next age. A building that creates troops is useful only if the rest of the force gives those troops time to contribute. Before an era change, think about the immediate army you can afford afterwards, not only the later technology it promises.

Separate an investment from an immediate response. A stronger economy can support the next army, but it will not automatically stop the threat already at the base. Likewise, sending every available unit forward can leave no recovery plan if the push fails. Give each spending decision a reason.

Improve the next attempt

After a battle, note which role disappeared first and where the advance stopped. Keep the useful part of the formation and change one weakness at a time. The alternative may share stick figures or a base objective without belonging to the official Stick War series; learn its own unit rules and command interface rather than importing a native-game build order.

Use the rules and options displayed by Army of Ages itself. A related game can feel familiar while changing its goals, progression or input details. Begin with the ordinary activity, notice what one deliberate action changes, and build the next decision around that result.
