Stick Wars
Updates
What changed in the game, newest first.
01 — Changes
-
Wide maps, trees, hills and mud
Four new maps up to 80 m wide: Wide plains, Forest, High ground and Swamp. Trees block troops and bullets until blasts or flames fell them, ranged units shoot farther from a hill, and mud slows every walker. The field now has color: green trees and hills, brown mud, blue water.
-
No more steering by double-click
Double-clicking the field no longer takes over a unit, so quick clicks to deploy stay deploys. G over one of your units still steers it.
-
Full screen
A full-screen button at the top right of the title screen and of every match, also in Settings.
-
Match speed
Matches against the bot and the sandbox run at 1×, 2× or 3× with the speed button at the top right or the X key.
-
Six maps
Twin roads, River crossing, Outposts, Mountain pass and Three lanes join the open field. Maps open as you level up, and Rotation plays a different one every match.
-
Outposts and guard posts
Mini bases on the road pay energy, shoot back and let their holder deploy there. While a side holds its guard post, its base takes no damage.
-
Air strike
A plane carpets a wide area with bombs. It unlocks at level 20 and reloads apart from the missile.
-
Kamikaze drone
The drone no longer shoots: it dives into the nearest enemy and explodes.
-
Steer a unit yourself
On a computer, press G over one of your units or double-click it, then walk it with W A S D. Matches against the bot and the sandbox.
-
Pause, results and setup
The pause card opens How to play, settings and live statistics without leaving the match, and can step aside to look around. Results come in tabs with Continue after a classic match. Match setup keeps map, field length and army size apart.
-
Bigger armies
Matches and friend rooms can run 100, 150, 200 or 300 population per side.
-
Health bars, barricades and the armored car
Health bars sit over the head in every view, barricades lie across the road instead of along it, and the armored car is redrawn as a wheeled vehicle with an autocannon.
-
Light theme first, visitor counts
The game starts in the light theme (Auto still follows your device) and in your browser's language. The title screen shows how many people are playing now and how many have visited.
