I tried speedrunning Stick War and found the most overpowered strategy in the game
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2021
- Stick War is a classic flash game where you have a bunch of stickmen that fight in a war. Kinda obvious. Speedrunning this game takes more thought than you think though and results in a beautifully overpowered strategy. Also yes, this is the same game as Stick War: Legacy, though it has a bit less detail

Do you wanna see Stick War: Legacy next?
YEAH!
yes
Nah, you should speed run Feudalism
100%
Yes please. It's a game that I played many years ago. I'd love to see your take on the strategies
this was my favorite game back in the day

YOOO PEGASUS WATCHES EAZY SPEEZY!?

Hey it's the sus boy
sus?
"The game where you murder a bunch of stickmen"
You have no idea how much this doesn't narrow things down
The game actually has deep lore!
Please tell me the other
Stick War Legacy: conquering lands for the Order Empire
@@B-52H the world of Inamorta is full of tribes that has mastered the art of a type of combat (spear, swords, Magic, etc) and the order Empire starts to conquer then to bring order. Thing is, in the second game is show how the Order empire has just brought war and destruction, so the tribes that are still free decide to fight agains them until the Chaos empire, an empire of monsters ruled by Medusa shows up, cause the chaos the Order empire has made them stronger.
I reccomend reading the wiki, is pretty fun
I'm pretty sure that covers every game on StickPage lol
"Don't worry we're going to change the strategy up in a minute" literally does the same thing the entire time lol
"Bad RNG" most castle send out reinforcement after their statue lost a certain amount hp, so itwas not rng
The RNG he is referring to is the amount of troops they sent out. And the way they came out. Sometimes you will notice he is able to finish off the statue before the troops get to his character
Even that's not rng, the amount they send it is largely based off difficulty and amount of troops they already have out
The legacy version has basically no rng
In the reinforcements yeah for the 6th star quest you will always get a Kai rider
CRINGE!!!
@@seancurtis7359 How do you know it's based on a random number generator? What if it's based on something else, like your army, upgrades, time, etc..
"where you murder stickmen"
Do you have the slightest idea of how little that narrows it down?!
Hmmm. Where do you murder turtles?

"Wow! The enemy is running away and not attacking me!"
Ikr. Thats what i was thinking
Well it's a speed run. So
i love the fact that the lore is almost as simple as the game itself
basically: a guy decided, "no more wars" and from that day on decided to make wars with everyone and win so no one could fight eachother, because y'know, they're all in the same empire
Tbf, Order's ways were not of war but peace and knowledge, you didn't worship your weapons as Gods so other nations saw you as a target. Your war in my opinion was necessary because if you didn't wage war your nation would've been destroyed
@@Bonkman83 well, i got that wrong aparently, thanks for the info
@@TheHollowBro np, also to add some additional info you can actually see the effects of your war in the stick wars 2 intro from the enemies' perspective. Your war caused chaos to others from their perspective while in your perspective you were just defending your home. You did however make peace with everyone in a certain level so everything worked out in the end

"theyre such whimps" plays on easiest difficulty
I like how with each game Eazy speedruns, the speedrunning community of each game gets a lot of exposure, which in return is better for the community to grow, so that’s nice :)
God I remember playing this on my aunts laptop whenever I had free time. Good times
yeah, same, I was playing on some decade old HP desktop
I’m pretty sure they remade it
I remember playing it at school and it was something familiar when I was across the world in China with my mom when I was a child.
Yes
I remember play it on my aunt computer, when I was still a child without any worry or problems...
“ Are they fighting their inner demons? “
“ *I hope that they’re winning.* “
I that what they're doing is attacking a statue that isn't there
@Toilet Paper you do know I was saying that on a programming lvl right?
@@rickschomber2447 nah it’s their inner demons man
@@rickschomber2447 the inner demons make so much more sense
The program say attack.inner_demon so I think it's the inner demon
Speedrunning this on the hardest difficulty would probably be a lot more interesting.
Yeah this was the most boring way he could have played this game
Alternative title: I speedrun stickmen’s therapy by beating their inner demons to death
I prefer this game to Stick War Legacy tbh. Keyboard controls and zero microtransactions or ads (besides some banners maybe). Also check out Stick War 2?
Shyguymask watches EazySpeezy?? Love your vids
Yeah stick war legacy sucks compared to this, the tournament game mode is kinds fun though.
I like stick war legacy but stick war is better
The remake is better visually and less buggy but kinda p2w
Legacy has some added bonuses like Challenges, Tournament, and Endless Deads, there definitely is something that makes the original special. And yeah, Stick War 2 is even better
Just so you know, there is a bug in the game where you can send your units to retreat fully, summon a swordsman and click on him before he runs off screen and the enemies can’t see you, it can be used to beat the game very quickly.
Thought i was the only one who said it, found someone else who knew about this glitch lmao. Pretty neat trick.
It seems like a lot of people knew this bug lol. I remember the time I knew this bug like I felt like I was a god that time lol
Works with any unit that can go inside the castle, really good with the spearton.
@@ShadowRyftExtras I use the spearman also
This
This is what I used to do instead of playing the game normally lol
"Idk what a Magikill is"
Bruh, its McWizard.
Fun fact, you can actually beat those "autoscroller" levels faster if you manage to destroy the enemy invisible statue on the right. Happened to me once.
Honestly all the stick games are god-tier
Yea
Yep
Especially Territory War
Yes
was*
you know.... the "adove flashplayer incident"
The reason the stickmen attack the air is (I'm guessing) that they just set the statue to be invisible and invincible
It was
No you friccin nerd its cuz they are summoning doom guy to help them.
Didnt you read the lore???
For me, they just run into spear fence
Can we talk about your profile name and pic or is it satire.
@@marcuspaul4319 it has to be satire
Previously when I played Stick Wars, the best strategy was to actually garrison your troops. After clicking garrison, try to take control of a unit before it can completely garrison, that unit will then be ignored by enemies and you can kill everything for free. It only works if everything is garrisoned except for that unit you're controlling.
for some reason him saying "auto-scroll" when the level isn't even moving triggered me (I know that it can be used like that but still ... ) xD
No, it actually CAN'T be used like that, because it isn't scrolling.

i made this comment and didn't even notice those below
but hey thats more than 100 likes so it's not like im complaining or anything
I played this when I was like 7 and enjoyed it so much
"Our enemies are the wimpiest people in the world"
Also EazySpeezy : is playing normal mode
he wimpy
Hard mode or insane or whatever it was called and not user controlling a swordman makes the game a challenge
Insane mode frustrated me as a kid. It's my first action base defense.
Hey, it's EazySpeezy not InsaneSpeezy after all.
FYI: You can jump attack with swordmen and throw spears with the spartans, very OP, in additionally, you can also block. Yeah I used to play this game a lot as a kid...
Man, the music in this game is phenomenal though. Field Of Memories is the best track, highly recommend everyone to check it out.
I feel like that no one talks about the music in this game, it’s actually really good
it's stock music
Wait wut?
@@imnotmadimdisappointed I know, it blew my mind when I first heard the song used in some other game
Back in the day, practically all the games had "Glorious Morning" or "Entering the stronghold" as a soundtrack.
Can you imagine being a unit dodging and weaving blows like
"Excuse me, thanks, yep, just going to infiltrate your base, don't mind me"
The fact that he never used the Spearton absolutely demolishes me
To be fair, for speedruns, the easiest strategy is to spam fully upgraded sword units because they have the highest speed and DPS. Spear units attack faster and have more health, but that lack of speed becomes very noticeable if you're rushing.
I think they were attacking inner demons because code thinks a statue is there.
EazySpeezy is speedrunning youtube at this point

"The Gladiator" hurt me phisically
The Gladiatorer
i never got to complete this game as every time without fail once i beat no mans land it froze. this is my first time seeing the last levels.
my strat was kind of like yours but once i got to the gladiator, spawn one, control him, and continuously spawn archers to defend while i attacked.
It's called Spearton. Don't repeat EazySpeezy's mistake of calling them "gladiators." Speartons are thematically based on Spartan hoplites and not gladiators. They are NOT the same thing.
@@totmgsrockxd9900 yeah but that's something that only someone that played the game recently or too much would know
1:46 they're probably just programmed to stop and attack that part of the map when they reach it because there's usually the enemy statue there
also, the miner pickaxe is far superior to the passive gold generation for income
"Are you fighting your inner demons? I hope you're winning."
This made me so happy for some reason
Some insane speedrunners remember the Westwind level is the bulkiest level because of Speartons and the support of Archidons.
I like your funny words magic man
ah yes, as a kid, it took me two fridays to finish that level.
(I was only allowed to play games every friday for one hour)
For me the old men were tougher ngl lmao
I just use mass amounts of swordsmen and archers, maybe a few speartons as well and its over with westwind
if you're not speedrunning just do the phalanx and after you managed to create the phalanx add some archidon
id like to see a speedrun on insane from someone who actually knows how to play the game
I always remember the level where the enemy soldiers rush you immediately at the start of the game. I can’t forget it because of how many times it would destroy me
Final Level: Giant Statue Holding A Giant Giant That Wields A Giant’s Corpse In The Way The Giants Wield A Normal Person’s Corpse
Eugh
I think you need to expand your vocabulary
@@mrixzz8127 nonsense... this sentence I typed out yesterday was created to be quite repetitive, yet quite simple and directly to the intended point.
Ah makes sense
Last lever after statue: giant giant holding a giant which was holding a normal person and holding a giant mace which he uses to slam and make giant shockwaves and giant dmg
You're too scared to speedrun The Henry Stickman Collection. Admit it EazySpeezy
Wonder what the best route would be? I'm thinking Convict Allies for Complex.
100% speed run? That would kill him
Okay
spezy
That would be a boring video, I have to say. But the diversion in ctp is epic, so who knows
This video is lowkey bringing up one of many nostalgic underrated games to the world
I have many memories of me playing this game, while listening to Skrillex "In for the Kill" on repeat in another tab on youtube.
The swordsman: is attacking and going to destroy the Giants monument
The Giants and defending archer : understandable, have a great day
Probably my most played flash game of all time, i remember as a kid having so much trouble trying to win the fights since i was too lazy to control the units myself, and just seeing him breeze through the game easily makes me mad
What about Age of War?
@@SecretOptionD woah age of war was so hard at the last level
I really loved watching sw1 and sw2 videos, but the swl youtubers make an awful image of the game
@@mrepical7235 you should watch MattShea's playthrough on Stick War 1. It's pretty based and funny
He played on normal, you can pretty much do anything you want on normal and get away with it
1:52 I know probably no one will read this, but: the game is probably coded to say: if “attacking” AND “enemy soldiers” = true (you’re attacking and enemy soldiers are on the battlefield): attack enemy soldiers. If attacking (but not enemy soldiers) = true, attack that spot (where the statue would be)
Congrats on 1M Eazy!! I've been watching you since you had about 300k and I'm really proud of you for growing so fast! Def one of my favourite RUclipsrs. Keep being awesome :)

@@starwarstg5983 same, plus I thought they looked cool
Do you also play on the easiest difficulty?
The best strategy for giants is to just use one guy, run around the giant and just keep hitting him while he is launching the attack.
@Antonio Trivelloni yes but it's so much more fun to just run aeound it and backstab while he attacks in front of you while you're behind him
@@NoOne-qi4tb i did that when I was on the final level and my army died except for 1 Spearton, so I just kept attacking the final giant boss until it died

Did he just called Speartons (which are obviously named after Spartans, and also look like them).....gladiators?
Some gladiators dress like spartans, but yeah I get what you're saying.
@@jeremiahlee742 I believe the type of gladiator you described is called the hoplomachoi, based on the Greek hoplite (and by proxy the Spartans), armed with spear and round shield I think.
Not sure about the spelling, but there ya go.
Oh my heavens, they’re not gladiators. They’re “speartons.”
I remember doing a similar tactic always just maxing out the swordsman first and amassing as many as I could then unleashing a whole horde to overrun the levels
played this on Y8 while Flash was alive, thank you for the speedrun gameplay Stick War of my childhood
You should speedrun mining a chunk in Minecraft VR
cjya inspired comment?
Who
Legacy strat: one sword to juke, then as many archers as possible, if needed, sacrifice the miners once you have enough gold.
Aw damn, I remember playing this game at Y8 back then... Spearton was so busted (dunno about current version), you control 1 spearton and hold down the attack button, then watch the spearton deal damage like he is a hold a gatling spear.
The reason why they attack the air after the survival levels is because the AI isn't disabled during cutscenes causing them to target the statue but because there isn't one they look like they attack air.
Calling the Speartans “gladiators” smh
(Those are the only unit names I even remember)
Magikill, Spearton, Archidon, Swordwrath
*OG/Legacy* : Miner, Archidon, Swordwrath, Spearton, Golden Spearton, Magikill, Meric, Giants, Marrowkai, Toxic Deads, Pouncer Deads, Stone Giants, Kai Giant, and Griffin the Great
*Stick Wars 2 and Empires* :
Order - Miner, Swordwrath, Archidon, Meric, Magikill, Spearton, Shadowrath (ninjas), Albowtross (flying archidons), Enslaved Giant (Giants that throw shit).
Chaos - Enslaved Miner, Crawler (zergling), Dead (Archidon with damage over time), Marrowkai (arguably better Magikill), Medusa (bullshit unit), Juggerknight (better Speartons), Bomber (By Allah), Eclipsor (Albowtrosses but squishier and faster), Giant (same one from Stick Wars 1)
Elementals - Earth (Miners/Swordwrath), Water (Support/Scout), Air (Albowtross), Fire (Archidons with less range).
Earth + Fire = Charrog: Basically Speartons but stronger
Water + Air = Cycloid: Air version of Magikill and Shadowrath
Earth + Water = Treature: Because they removed the Magikill's ability to spawn minions in Stick Wars 2 and Empires, they gave it to this tree thing which spawns Scorplings which are Chaos's Crawlers. Used in the early game to counter Chaos's Crawler spam and to harass Order.
Air + Fire = Infernos: Basically a Magikill but with 2 AOEs compared to 1
Fire + Water = Scorch: Big Explosion
Earth + Air = Blind Gate: In Stick Wars 2 and Empires, Fog of War was introduced. Blind Gates prevent the enemy from getting a view of your units even if they send units to scout you out.
Earth + Water + Fire + Air = *V* : V is a unit that has really hard-hitting Melee Attacks and extremely powerful spells. It can turn enemy units to your side and because it can clone itself into 3 separate units, can hold itself fairly well in open melee combat. That along with its instant transmission ability allows it to escape assassination attempts and to chase down enemy units across the battlefield pretty well.

The nostalgia is so real you can smell it
I like how you said you have to destroy the enemy statue before they destroy yours and then immediately say there are these levels as well
Does anyone know how he's playing these nostalgic games that require flash? Cause I've wanted to play stick war since flash went away
He's using something called Flashpoint. It's essentially a collection of Flash Games that you can download to your computer.

The reason the soldiers seem to attack the air on the ambush stages is probably because there actually is an enemy monument on that stage, it's just invisible. That's my guess anyways.
This one actively hurts.
