First to beat this classic flash game wins.

[@Tanekoshima]

Waterflame was the king of soundtracks back in the heyday of Newgrounds. I remember messaging him asking to use his Space Pirates track for a school project (programming a game on Scratch for extra credits physics class) and he was so nice! He let me use it and even asked if I wanted a seamless loop version - I had no clue what "seamless loop" meant back then, but I still appreciated how nice he was. Nice to see Aggy and the gang playing some nostalgic games.

[@jajasking9652]

As someone Who plays geometry dash, i agree

[@maygardens]

still get this song stuck in my head sometimes out of nowhere

[@Tanekoshima]

@@maygardens Doo doo, doo dooroo doo doo, doo dooroo doo doo, doo dooroo dooroo doo, doo dooroo dooroo

@@Tanekoshima Ah yes, that is carved into my memories.

[@outwithayang7153]

Nice to see you've finally found your niche as a classic flash streamer.

[@DiegoSouto-fy9su]

Must be hard for a streamer/youtuber to pivot to a new thing successfully once their thing starts petering out in terms of views. Seems like the ones with the most longevity don't have a specific thing their audience numbers depend on, they have some sort of cult of personality where people will just watch whatever they're doing.

[@Misdr01d]

This helped me so much in school it's not even funny

[@HiFisch94]

I would've hated school if I couldn't play this with my friends at the computer room 😂

[@antobono64]

Right this got me a b plus about the evolution from dinosaurs to future halo guys

[@riddler6436]

I remember playing this non stop when I was 10 or so years old. Definitely didn't expect to see you play this, even in my wildest dreams.

[@Whirlso]

Age of war bring back many old memories

[@HiFisch94]

Man, 40min in and it's still frustrating seeing him get hurt because he just doesn't build his units before he gets hit. Love it!

[@ttakuyaki]

Yeah man I'm 10 mins in and it's infuriating fr why does he wait so much😭😭

[@SageStudiesGunnarFooth]

Watching him send units out too late and not catch them at max turret distance has me screaming at the TV 😂

[@OverlordAshley]

I'm losing it seeing him not spam units like wtf dude xD look what your enemy is doing, DO IT AS WELL 😂

[@michaelbeeche6130]

I mean he probly hasn’t played it before

[@trisfaleel]

It's just that he has the slowest reaction speed ever to the point where its frustrating

[@krishnansubramoni7801]

That was fun. Made me play it too. I'm glad I found the winning strat by myself. Would definitely love to see more old classic flash games from you guys ❤

[@Powersd451]

Hard to believe nobody brought up the exploits you can do by abusing the pause function. You can pause/unpause the game by hitting space bar, and there are at least 3 different ways to abuse it to your advantage: -Your Special still recharges while the game is paused. -Units' attack animation is interrupted and reset when you pause, but turret animations and cooldowns aren't. Because of that, you can simply spam pause/unpause to make units unable to finish their attacks, while turrets are still able to shoot them. (Musketeers are the exception, while walking their shots hit on frame 1. If an enemy musketeer is walking and in firing range, every unpause will make them fire a shot, melting your units and base.) -Your units still get trained while the game is paused. This makes it even easier to stack a bunch of units to the very left to gang up on enemy units that have reached your base. If a bunch of enemy units are at your base, spamming a couple of ranged units while the game is paused does wonders. It's probably better to ban using this, but I'm just shocked nobody, including chat, seemed to know about it.

[@outwithayang7153]

Iirc the cheese I used back in the day was the musketeer one. Got a line of my own musketeers and you could spam pause to take down everything in front of you.

[@igorporfiirio4915]

Also, if you pause during your special (meteors or arrows) the screen will keep shaking, wait for it to stop and unpause so the projectiles all fall at the same time, this way they hit most enemies for sure.

[@FurnaxIkki]

Holy shit memories unlocked. I remember the strategy I'd use, especially on harder difficulties, was to set up as many defenses as possible while staying in the Caveman period and spam basic infantry over and over again. Trying to keep up with the arms race against the computer was for chumps. You just survived until you had enough EXP banked to go from cavemen to the future era immediately, and then you built four turrets so you could win the attrition fest. And now that I have clicked ahead in the video I'm happy to see how things have stayed true.

[@TheShadow7771]

Didn't know I needed 2 hrs of a grown man malding at age of war today, but it's much appreciated! I echo the requests to play stick wars next, it has some neat strats

[@Evandr7]

The age of war flash game is my Roman empire. This makes me irrationally happy.

[@Elagabalus711]

God I forgot how much I loved this game as a kid. Such nostalgia.

[@gyro_moment4759]

Age of war is so goated. The song too is also beautiful

[@flashbacker8935]

moment i saw this vod immedietly sparked some core memories and had to join u in ur trials. It was TOO funny how often chris would say smthin right before I suffered it like cant have any leaks lmao. great vod, hope to catch ya live next time!

[@ShreddinDwarf]

Man the og of flash games

[@Oakshield2]

Newgrounds and Kongregate never die

[@ice_sick]

What a throwback. I'm doing my dooty and dropping a like and hitting the bell.

[@Gilithis]

It's funny how so many people seem to have found this game back in highschool lmao. This game and Bloons were incredible for their time honestly. Kingdom rush and epic battle fantasy were also really good but not as many of my friends played those ones.

[@tUrtlekUsh]

every chris shares a single brain cell we are one

[@Gnylos]

As a chris, agreed.

[@shadowsib6949]

Nearly choked after Aggy had the worst bombing in history. That couldn't have whiffed harder if it tried. 😂

[@KNerolo]

I am serious; the soundtrack of this game is my alarm clock song for over 8 years and I never was sad awaking to this

[@Aarones-wv6hf]

Absolute classic game from my childhood

[@hanniballahr94]

God that music takes me back...

[@AsterSea]

Holy fuck! Core memories unlocked with this one 🔑

[@LootGoblinPenny]

The fact that this is over two hours is crazy

[@LeChickenSan]

I played along this stream, beat the game about 1 hour in cause I found out you can just stay on 1st age, you make an egg turret and spam cave mans, dont even need to special until age 3 ranged units come into play, when u have enough exp for age 4 you upgrade straight to it in 1 go, you buy 4 double machine guns right away, then you just upgrade them to ion cannons on age 5 and its gg, the computer cant do anything else anymore cause ion cannons are broken and hit the whole map, spawn killing enemy units and he doesnt build his own turrets only spams units so u can spam your normal soldiers in and win

[@izisvi]

[@MrMerchman]

Age of war 1 & 2 are my favourite flags games of all time, so good

[@akumatensei5466]

This should have been on main honestly

[@hyrulezomby6828]

I loved this game when I was younger, just set up 3 turrets and watch as everything dies lol.

[@asdergold1]

Maaaaaan I remember this and Age of War 2. (Even if it was easier) Now many more come to mind as well. So much good and fun stuff I'd probably take over most games from the last 10 years.

[@Legoman775]

the OG flash game

[@asparagusoffice]

where were you during the Paleolithic Hyper War

[@mathmoril]

this game is amazing, and I loved playing it as a child, so here i am for the vid, hoping you did it justice (:

[@clemens8715]

This game and feudalism carried my childhood.

The music is what kept me playing

[@justinroser6833]

WOOOOO AGE OF WAR, THAATS A THROW BACK

[@blakeshyre759]

Missed this game, great memories, that and stick wars!

[@MrPilooface]

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the music

[@davidthomasmearns1826]

I thought for sure the strategy was going to be the special meter continuing to fill after you pause the game takes a bit longer but you cant fail if you just keep dropping meteorites

[@Guiden-jp9tz]

Made me wanna play this again. Just beat impossible and am back to see what y'all come up with.

[@ArCSelkie37]

Fuckin hell, I was literally playing this on a whim like a week or two ago. This shit was my childhood.

[@BarlioneManobolge]

I remember i had so much Waterflame music on my Ipod nano in middleschool. And there was one kid that tried to convince me that Skrillex was better.

[@broccolin]

I remember playing this game as a kid

2:14:35 You’ve been gnomed!!!

[@serialBLEACHexpert98]

Bruh

[@LeChickenSan]

bro I watched the speedrun for this and u legit just spam slingshots at the start and win, its like 30 seconds, I was quite surprised ngl

[@ryanweinburger135]

Miragine War. Similar idea, but completely sifferent aesthetic. That's the one my buddies and I would always play, although Age of War is a classic too.

[@MrTiemos]

Age of War, AdventureQuest, DragonFable, and RuneScape(2007, now called Old School RuneScape) were my go-to back then. If there wasn’t any internet connection or the school computers were in restricted mode, Pinball or Solitaire.

[@denzy3929]

First time playing this game at impossible diff is the worst idea ever 😂

[@KanyeT1306]

Got to agree with Astro, backseating rules seem a little crazy strict these days. Also just inconsistent. Did the guy at 1:40:50 get banned for suggesting staying on age 2? I've seen others get timedout for significantly less. Is it just dependant on whether or not Aggy wants the suggestion in the moment or not? I never played this game, I used to download non-flash games and play them from my 256GB USB at school lol. Great to see you guys race this though, it curious to see how quickly people learn.

[@mattevans1643]

Ya'll should totally do Oregon Trail.

[@prizma45]

imagine watching this in 1x speed

[@dominik230996]

best game ever :D i used to play this for hours as a kid.

[@hynekeff8236]

They should do all hobo games race next time, that could be fun :D

[@basmortier8944]

aggy using eggs in third ages is criminal, no dmg at all

[@basmortier8944]

he is getting 4 turret slots for 4 eggs for fourth age????????

[@basmortier8944]

IT WORKSS?????????????

[@OfficialTactiq]

Tbh it's not the best strategy as if he were to keep upgrading he would of finished in about 20 minutes lol

[@Defnotdiablo]

its not the best strat but you can wall by just never upgrading and just spamming with 4 eggs and clubs and never upgrading age until youve saved for the final age to get some plasma casters and then its a free win. Really slow, and hurts your finger a lot clicking the club man button, but it's reliable.

[@ChaosPigeon652]

Holy shit probably been 15 years since i played this

[@KrazyKrzysztof]

first time playing age of war after seeing it with you guys live and it was so fun. I beat it on highest difficulty too.

[@Kyndral22]

man i was racing along with them, i was on the final stage for like 15 minutes before a single turret shot hit the enemy base, not rng tho guys

[@igorporfiirio4915]

You should've try troy, another tower defence flash game, maybe not as hard, but still hard to get to the end.

[@firnagon7395]

nostalgy hits hard, but trying to get better eco by dying is not worth my man :D caveman ftw

[@dudeduderson4427]

Playing flash games at college, thems were the days

[@DanielAusMV-op9mi]

This is crazy

[@maximmad8511]

Cool game!

[@vowish5319]

Should do stick wars next!

[@isaiahschmit1996]

They made a second one you know...

[@Highsen]

I always think aggys chat is stupid for backseating, but then you see him repeat the same mistake for 2 hours and realize that hes the stupid one.

[@Sekowon]

God I love Age of War... actual BiS flash game

[@alreadytookenname]

Anyone else play obama vs zombies? That game was awesome.

[@setneubauer3851]

The best DnD session I had was when our GM didn't show up. So the rest of the us just had a Age of War LAN instead! Timeless

[@EGeorgev]

this game must have been the inspiration for T.A.B.S.

[@EGeorgev]

also that oil was the biggest bait of that whole run.

YO LETS FUCKING GO AGE OF WAR

Nice

Why does nobody point out how the slingshot dudes shoot while walking 😂😂

[@BobBambo]

AGE OF WAR MARKETING LET’S GOOOO

[@HoneyBear0906]

after watching aggy play this i beat it first try no problem with the exact same strat so i must be just as good

[@MadMasonMan]

You should play the 2nd and third game too, Third game is called ARMY OF AGES

[@Sayuki99]

[@wesleythompson3917]

Please do age of war 2!

[@jackcruse8577]

Now play Siegius! Best flash game of all time!

[@MasterEldriel]

easiest game ever, if you just build turrets and center on defense you will easly age up, once you in space age, the last turret will actually shoot so far it will destroy the enemy base and you win xd

[@matthewb7788]

Epic war 5 next time

[@michaelbeeche6130]

Bro I’m actually so cracked at this game I’m ngl. I’m a burnout and have no friends but damn I can go ham in this game 😤

[@crisdelgadillo6502]

a similar game that has a larger variety of characters and is more fun to play is Age of Defense, you can get Ogres dragons trents and many many more

[@kleator]

Sorry but thats so painful to watch... Its crazy how less some people learn from their mistakes...

[@ericsawtelle7430]

It took you 2 hours? I beat this on impossible all the time 😂

[@hwile]

It's more than slightly infuriating watching this.

[@ardynizunia9709]

Bro is seriously getting salty at chat over a flash game 💀

[@mr.careka365]

Oil sucks so much, idk why he insists on it

[@superjohn1658]

He sucks at this game so bad it’s infuriating to watch

[@benjamindeh873]

To the guy who suggested this game: That was nonsensical, dumb, and egocentrical. "Lets torture them for half an hour for them to learn what prolly took me hours/days as a kid in a crappy game". And even after half an hour you dont help them much or tell them "Dastrats". Honestly quite annoying.

[@KxngDavo]

the worse age of war player ever
