Age of War is a legendary and iconic 2D real-time strategy game that takes you on a journey through human history. In this unblocked classic, you must defend your base from the enemy while simultaneously building an army to destroy theirs. The unique twist is that you can evolve your civilization through five different ages, from the stone age to a futuristic era.
The gameplay of Age of War is a constant tug-of-war. You automatically generate gold, which you use to train different types of units and to build defensive turrets. The key strategy is to find the right balance between offense, defense, and saving up for the next evolution. Evolving to the next age is a massive power spike, unlocking much stronger units and turrets. However, it costs a lot of experience points (earned from defeating enemies), leaving you vulnerable while you save up. This long-term strategic planning is a different kind of challenge from the single-screen puzzles of Cat Trap. The goal is to overwhelm the enemy and destroy their base.
Use the menus at the top of the screen to train units and build turrets. Your units will automatically march towards the enemy base. Use your special ‘rain of fire’ type ability at a critical moment. Earn experience points from fighting. When you have enough, click the ‘Evolve’ button to advance to the next age. Destroy the enemy’s base to win.
In the early ages, a mix of infantry and ranged units is very effective. Do not neglect your turrets; building a few can make your base much harder to destroy. Knowing when to use your powerful special ability can turn the tide of a major battle. Try to time your evolution for right after you have defended against a large enemy wave.
Use your mouse to click the buttons to train units, build turrets, and use special abilities.
The game progresses through five distinct ages: the Stone Age (with cavemen and dinosaurs), the Castle Age (with knights and catapults), the Renaissance Age (with cannons), the Modern Age (with tanks and soldiers), and finally, the Future Age (with giant robots and laser towers).
Yes, it is one of the most famous examples of the genre, also known as a ‘tug-of-war’ strategy game. The objective is to manage your resources to create a stream of units that is stronger than your opponent’s stream.
It can be, especially on harder difficulties. The AI is very good at managing its resources and will punish you if you make a strategic mistake, like trying to evolve at the wrong time.
