Victory Conditions
The primary objective is to destroy the enemy base's statue (or core structure). Successfully destroying the enemy statue wins the level or battle; conversely, if your own statue is destroyed, it results in defeat.
Resource Gathering
- Core resources are Gold and Stone.
- Train “Miner” units to gather resources.
- Resources are used for soldier recruitment, tower construction, and technology upgrades.
Unit Production and Control
- Use gold to train various combat units (e.g., Swordsmen, Archers, Mages) at your base.
- Globally command your army to switch between offensive and defensive postures (retreat to defend or advance proactively).
Combat Mechanics
- Battles proceed automatically, but strategic deployment and unit composition are crucial.
- Units possess counter-relationships (e.g., Archers deal ranged damage; Shield Bearers absorb heavy damage).
- Unit attributes (attack, health, defense, etc.) can be enhanced through upgrades.
Strategy and Tactics
- Balance economic development with military expansion: Over-mining invites ambushes, while reckless recruitment leads to resource depletion later.
- Victory hinges on optimal troop composition and leveraging terrain advantages.
Resource Management and Development
One of the game's core objectives is effective economic management. You must train miners to extract gold and stone, steadily accumulate resources, and use them to recruit soldiers, construct defenses, and upgrade key technologies.
Build and Command Your Army
You must assemble a formidable army of stickmen comprising various units like swordsmen, archers, and wizards, then engage enemies through meticulous strategic deployment.
Balance Offense and Defense
While launching proactive assaults on enemy bases, you must also maintain vigilant defenses to protect your core statue or base from destruction.
Conquer Hostile Empires
In Campaign Mode, your narrative objective is to overthrow the oppressive “Red Empire,” liberate enslaved peoples, and ultimately achieve the grand goal of unifying the continent or securing a war victory.
