HORRIFIC game. He who "evolves" first wins. And the computer evolves first regardless of strategy. In a game that is essentially equal parts, any single advantage should tip the scales to a can't-win or can't-lose scenario. The "fire from the sky" special will always tip the scales so greatly in favor of the player rather than the computer, you can't lose. EXCEPT that the game "cheats" by having the computer work under different rules/conditions (i.e. they gain XP faster than you do.)

Deeply flawed. If you only get XP by killing (I watched and you don't get XP by creating), and you create a turret that just kills, you should ALWAYS evolve before the computer. Yet, he evolved well before I could. 1/5

honestly the game itself is not that hard, just very long. The second and third installments (age of war 2 and army of ages) feel a lot more progressive, but if you want to win do turret strat then save up for a f*ck ton of super soldiers (special unit in last age). That wins you the game :D (on normal)

For people still confused about how to win quickly, prioritise getting turrets ASAP they do loads of damage and if you have two on your base early game you can just deploy melee troops to tank the damage from the enemies while your turrets pick them off.

If not for the achievement, I wouldn't play this. Ultimately, even if you play it near perfectly, you'll just ultimately have the enemy move to the next age immediately after you, nulling any advantage you might have. Ultimately, if you don't lose, you'll just grind up the tower and kill all of the enemies before they get close to your base, waiting a quarter of an hour so you can spam enough super soldiers to get close to them. Unless this game was a piece on the futility of the war...it quickly devoids itself of fun.

Am I missing something...? I've tried a variety of tactics, including the tips in the comments, and still spend my entire run trading blows with the enemy and never dealing any damage to their base. Honestly, with how long a run takes I wouldn't have bothered playing so many times except that it's a badge in a quest. Length alone should put that badge into Hard territory.

I feel like the medium badge shouldnt be a medium badge. 20 minutes and im still just basically trading money with the enemy, on normal mode

I came here to get this last taste of nostalgia before flash is gone, this game will always have a place in my heart.

If you want to win in harder or impossible stay on the cave age and keep on making club men. Buy egg turrets as fast as you can until the military age, then get military turrets, then you are home free.
Play as normal until the final age and build 4 max ion cannons then buy supersoldiers after a few minutes
