Age of War 2 Units
- Support
Not too cheap, yet efficient, these units can provide you with long range attacks. Especially useful when you provide full upgrades to their damage and rane. Support units are best to fight with Anti-Armor units.
- Infantry
All around players, the cheapest units in the game. Infantry is best for killing enemy support units.
- Anti Armor
Useful units that will be your solution to heavy Armored units.
- Armored
Armored units are definitely strongest but you will have to upgrade your base on each level to produce them – on start of each age these units are locked. To produce Armored units on a first level (dinosaurs) you will have to build Dino hut in your Upgrade menu.
During the game play you can only have maximum 10 active units. You should also remember about units queue – maximum 5 units of the same kind can be build simultaneously. If you would like to have more units you should try Age of War 2 cheats.
Upgrades during the gameplay
Upgrades are crucial part of the Age of War 2 game. There are several types of upgrades:
- Armored units unlock upgrade (mentioned above)
- Money upgrades – which will increase the factor of income from each killed enemy, the higher this upgrade is the more money you will earn
- Unit upgrades - damage upgrades, range upgrades for support units and armor upgrades for others)
- Turrets upgrades – which will let you improve your turrets range and damage
Ages of war
Each "Age of War" is unique and has it's own rules. The best way to know them is to play Age of War 2. Each age has it's own units (units on modern ages costs a lot more), special attacks and design. To evolve to next age you will have to get enough XP points. When you finally evolve to the next stage your units and armor are upgraded.
Here is the sequence of Ages of War:
- Prehistoric era
- Spartan age
- Egyptian age
- Medieval age
- Renaissance age
- Modern age
- Futuristic age.
The last age is specific – you can produce the only unit which is not available for your enemy – God’s Wrath.
Special attacks
Unlike in Age of War 1 specials are not so useful.... because you have to pay for it not only with special attack renewal time but also with xp points. Use of special attacks depends on the tactics that you choose, I prefer to keep xp points to go to next ages faster (in the right moment).
Turrets
Using turrets was crucial in Age of War 1, in Age of War 2 turrets are useful on first stages – but remember: everything depends on your strategy, if you prefer to be strong on defense you should invest your money here.
Age of War 2 tips and tricks and how to's
- Do not use specials to often – it use a lot of XP points, it’s better to invest in turrets and defence. It’s not applicable to the last Age of War – Futuristic age – on that stage you can use special as often as you like, simply, you will not need XP points to evolve anymore…
- The simplest strategy is to have strong defense lines and wait for the enemy. Enemy often uses special abilities (like meteorite rain or "Zeus' Anger") and lost a lot of XP points. A wise player will use that and get advance to the next "Age of War" instead. It will bring you new, stronger and better units and you will have the possibility to finish the game faster.
- If you can't win on first stages – try to evolve to the last stage, then you will be able to produce God's Wrath unit which will definitely finish the job.
- Choose your upgrades wisely – especially on medium and hard difficulty level it is crucial to have a strategy of evolution. In many opinions on hard level it's good to have turrets and money upgrades done in first step. Instead of losing money for infantry that will be surely defeated it's better to have good defense .
- Anti Armor units are helpful... but it's not wise to lose money for them.
- While your enemy evolves to next ages you can keep on playing with first/second one. Specially if you have strong defense lines (turrets) and you can hold enemy away from your base. Remember – the higher the age the higher the cost will be, so while you are still on first stage and your enemy is on second you will get more money from each kill (see Age of War 2 walkthrough video).
- I love to play Age of War 2 (and win) on Egyptian age – the support unit there (ancient Egyptian priest) is my favorite unit which does the job perfectly in range attack.
- I don't like to play on medieval age – archers and footmans are the "weakest link" in the Age of War 2 game.
