Play Eras at War

From cave clubs to space lasers: send troops, jump eras, flatten the enemy base.

How many players

Played by 1 or 2: solo against the computer, or online against another player.

Online: create a room and send the link to a friend, or get matched with a random opponent. If nobody shows up, we offer a clearly labeled computer opponent.

Goal: Send in your troops, power up by jumping eras, and wreck your rival's base before they wreck yours.

The base on the left is yours, the one on the right belongs to the computer. Gold trickles in on its own.
Train troops with the buttons at the bottom: melee fighters are cheap and quick, ranged troops hit from the back, heavies are pricey but tough. Troops march and fight on their own.
Every enemy you topple earns you gold and XP. When your XP bar is full, hit "Next era": the new era's troops are way stronger.
There are six eras: Cave, Bronze, Castle, Gunpowder, Engine and Star. Each one has its own special power (rockfall, healing, the Mehter March war band, cannonball rain, smoke, an orbital beam).
Use "Turret" to put defence towers on your base: open new slots, upgrade an older era's turret, or sell it.
Knock your rival's base down to zero and you win.

The training queue holds up to 5 troops, paid for up front.
You earn a little XP when your own troops fall too, so whoever's behind can bounce back.
When fighting right at the gate, part of the damage spills over onto the base.
Heavy units hit bases harder.
Your special power charges every 45 seconds (the first charge at the start takes 30).
Upgrading or selling a turret gives back half of the old turret's price. 3 slots max.
After 10 minutes, overtime kicks in: both bases crumble a little every second.
The computer plays by the same rules with the same income as you, with no bonuses at all. Difficulty only changes how fast and how well it decides.

Touch: Tap the buttons at the bottom. Drag the battlefield left and right with your finger; tap the minimap up top to jump there. "Follow the front" brings the camera back to the action. Turn your phone sideways for a wider view.
Keyboard: 1, 2, 3 train troops; 4 or T opens the turret menu; Q next era; E or Space special power; arrow keys scroll; Esc pauses.

Two players face off, and each of you sees your own base on the left.
The match starts after a 3-second countdown. There's no pause: the battle keeps going even with the menu open.
Rules and the winner are decided on the server. If you lose connection, the game waits for you briefly.
When the match ends, a rematch starts if you both want one.

A few melee fighters up front, ranged troops behind: the ranged ones fire safely from behind the wall.
Jump eras as soon as your XP is full; old-era troops don't last long against new-era ones.
Save your special power for when the enemy is bunched up.

Dolmuş: Drive a dolmuş, Istanbul’s shared minibus. Weave through traffic, grab passengers, and drop them off before someone yells "Getting off here!"
Simitçi: Simit: the sesame bagel Turkey runs on. Stack them sky-high on the vendor’s tray; overhangs get sliced, perfect drops keep the tower fat.
Çay Ocağı: Run a Turkish tea stove. Light, strong or "rabbit’s blood" red? Hold to pour, let go right on the line. Don’t spill!
Gold Hunter: Swing the hook, snag the gold, skip the rocks. Hit the goal before the clock runs out.
Four Stones: Line up four stones across, down or diagonally. First to four takes it.
Vanishing XOX: You only get 3 marks. Place a new one and your oldest vanishes.
