Era War
Lead your tribe from the Stone Age to the Future in a side-scrolling lane battle: train troops, build turrets, evolve five eras and destroy the rival base.
Era War is a side-scrolling base battle where your tribe grows up through history. Gold buys troops that march along a single lane toward the rival base, and every enemy you defeat pays gold and experience. Fill the XP bar and press Evolve to leap ahead: Stone Age club brutes and dino riders give way to bronze hoplites and war bulls, castle knights, steam-powered walkers and finally hover tanks and laser bots. Each age changes the scenery, your fortress, your turrets and your special attack.
Battles are about timing and counters. Melee troops beat ranged ones, ranged units shred heavy ones and heavies flatten melee lines, so watch what the rival sends and answer it. Build up to three turrets on your base, upgrade them as you evolve, hold your army near home while you save up, then release a meteor shower, arrow storm, firebomb barrage, airship drop or orbital beam on the enemy line. The rival AI trains, evolves, builds turrets and fires its own specials, and four difficulty levels add more income, tougher troops and smarter counter-picks. If a war drags past ten minutes, a sudden siege starts wearing both bases down.
Era War suits players who like lane strategy with a quick pace. Tip: evolve as soon as you can afford it, because one era ahead beats a crowd of older troops.
How to play
Train troops with the unit buttons; they march toward the rival base and fight automatically. Defeating enemies earns gold and XP. Spend XP to evolve into the next of five eras for stronger units, turrets and a new special attack. Buy turrets and extra turret slots to defend your base, and use Hold to keep troops near home. Destroy the rival base before it destroys yours.
