The overall strategy is a cycle, and it works like this. You let the enemy send units across the map and then use your Special on them. Then you send out a group of your troops to take out the remaining enemies. Your troops will cross the board and eventually die, and you wait. Your enemy will send more enemy units across the map, and you repeat the process until you can upgrade to the next age. When releasing the unit, it’s good to release a melee unit (or two) followed by a set of ranged units for support.
Stone Age - Club Man $15, Slingshot Man $25, Dino Rider $100 - Combos: Dino Rider + Slingshot Man, Club Man (x2?), Slingshot Man x2 - the Special isn’t very effective here. It kills about half the guys across the screen, but not all.
Middle Age - Sword Man $50, Archer $75, Knight $500 - Combos: Knight + Archer, Sword Man + Archer x3 - the Special here rains arrows down, killing almost all guys on the screen. It is quite a bit more effective than the previous one. Be sure to use your special before you buy your level upgrade.
Gunpowder Age - Dueler $200, Mousquettere $400, Canoneer $1000 - Combos: Canoneer + Mousquettere x3, Dueler (x2?) + Mousquettere x3 - the Special here gives a bonus to all units on the screen instead of attacking everyone. It sucks. Canoneer + 3 Mousquetteres are very effective. Send them in wave after wave. Be sure not to use your special when you’re about to evolve to the next age. Also don’t send out any more waves to prepare for filling the whole screen with enemies and killing them with the Special for the next age.
Modern Age - Melee Infantry $1500, Infantry $2000, Tank $7000 - Combos: Melee Infantry + Infantry x50 - Rows and rows of infantry will take out any enemies fastest. Lead them off with a Melee Infantry and then just keep the regular infantry coming. The special normally kills all enemies, but sometimes misses dramatically. When you get in close, roll a tank in the mix to push through to their defenses and take out some of their base.
Future Age - God’s Blade $5000, Blaster $6000, War Machine $20000, Super Soldier $150000 - Combos: God’s Blade + Blaster x50, War Machine + Blaster x50, Super Soldier + Blaster x50 - Finish them off with wave after wave. The special here is super effective and kills everyone so lure them in and use it. Keep sending just enough troops to beat them back to their base and give you enough time to rechange the Special. You’ll be victorious in no time! Remember that the Blasters work like the Infantry in the previous age. Chain them up and they are super effective.
