Age of War: war strategy across the ages

About Age of War

Age of War is a strategy and battle game where you send out troops from different ages to fight the other side. Your goal is to defeat the rival base by managing your units well.

The game is built around the idea of evolving: as you progress you can call on troops from different eras, which changes the balance of every fight. It is simple to understand but full of tactical choices, because you must decide which troops to send and when. It runs in your computer browser with no downloads, and it is great for short rounds of real-time strategy.

It is a comfortable option for a quick few-minute round as well as for a longer session, and you can try again as many times as you like to improve your result.

Tips and tricks: Age of War

Do not send every troop at once: keep a steady flow to hold your defence.
Answer each enemy unit with one that can stand up to it instead of always sending the same type.
Reaching a stronger age changes fights, so prioritise that evolution when you can.
Protect your base: losing ground early makes it hard to recover later.
