Stick War is a strategy game where players command an army of stick figure soldiers in a bid to conquer a cartoon-style map divided among several warring factions. Players begin by building their base and managing resources such as gold, which is mined by workers. Strategic resource management is key as players allocate manpower between mining gold and training units. The military units vary from swordsmen and archers to wizards and giants, each with unique abilities and costs. Players must balance their army’s composition and respond dynamically to enemy tactics, deploying their forces across the battlefield to seize control of enemy territories and defend their own base.
