COMMANDER ORIENTATION
The war manual
Stickwar Command is a real-time lane strategy game. Your army keeps moving while you decide where each next unit belongs.
Five rules of command
Build income
Train Miners early. Each Miner adds gold every battle cycle, giving you room to field stronger squads.
Choose a lane
Tap a lane on the battlefield before training. Spread threats or stack one path to create a breakthrough.
Build formations
Swordwrath absorbs pressure, Archidons fire behind them, and Speartons lead the final monument assault.
Protect your monument
Enemy units damage your monument after crossing the field. Intercept them before they reach your side.
Break theirs first
Win by reducing the enemy monument to zero. A mixed force can survive long enough to finish the job.
STARTER PLAN
Two Miners, a shield line, then arrows.
A stable opening is usually stronger than rushing one expensive unit. Mine first, place Swordwrath in the center, and reinforce a threatened lane with Archidons.
