Man, This did not need to take that long, and it technically isn't finished either. These flash games were a gateway to many things. #flashgames #flashgameplay #indiegame #strategygames
I played the shit out of flash games when I was younger. Warlords, Sonny and Sinjid, Swords and Sandals, Feudalism, Fancy Pants, Chaos Faction, Raze, Age of War, Territory War, Arcane Castle, Achilles, Last Stand, Mastermind, Flash Trek, Epic War, Stick Wars, Epic Battle Fantasy... The list of amazing Flash games and animations was endless, these are probably only like the 10% of the Flash Games I can remember right now that I loved. Made me sad to see the end of Flash but these games will never leave my childhood memories.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that forgot this gem of a game, this, the last stand, warfare 1914/1944 and the age of war games were just straight up bangers back in the day
man those were amazing, those games made me love Men Of war: Assault Squad 2 and Arma 3. BTW you can still play most flash games by downloading the Flashpoint project, it's like an archive with every game that existed (I played warfare and age of war games recently)
You have no Idea how many nights I spent searching for this game and trying to remember it's name after I played it so many years ago. God bless you and the algorithm that decided to randomly bring your video to my recommendations!
Feudalism, Battle Gear, Siegius, Stick War, Warlords, Strategy Defense, Mud and Blood 2, Age of War, War and Beyond: Deadly Strategies, Warfare 1917/1944, Epic War, Miragine War... I used to play so many strategy games. Thanks for bringing my memories back
My brother caught me playing this one time, I told him it was almost the perfect game, he pushed me aside, put Mount and Blade on my computer. Hell of a core memory, thank you for the nostalgia trip
@@ammaral-ghaib2137does anyone else remember a game called thing thing ? They had full series of 3rd person shooter with straight up gore and relastic guns even had zombie mode with classic music I’m surprised no one ever continued this was a free game even made copy cats like vice city thing thing and many more thing thing 1 ,2, 3, 😅😅😅
My god, every once in a while I'd get reminded of a game I loved playing as a kid and the wave of nostalgia hits like truck. Just last week I was reminded of the zombie game Last Stand.
There is a remake of Last Stand on Steam but be warned: it's BAD! Seriously, they removed everything that was cool like sending your extra guys on scavenging missions between nights. Instead you got clunky and unresponsive controls and a laggy game without any of the charm of the original. Who would have thought that a tiny flash game was more refined, fun and performative than a modern game.
Graphics were definately best in the first imo. Just detailed enough you knew what was what but not enough details to look janky like the newer ones. It was like with swords and sandals where the more complicated the designs were, the more the rough edges really showed where you kinda just ignored the jank in the older ones because it was all simplistic enough to flow together. Warlords was one of those classic games, glad to see it still being put around
Simplicity and clarity are honestly pretty great for visual appeal. You also get to fill in the gaps with your own imagination a bit, which I think is better than an overload of detail and a plethora of things to keep track of.
"...My main site to play games on was Kongregate." Ah, fellow former Kongrade. I always went with the Human Alliance. They're generic, but so are most human-based factions in fantasy strategy games. I liked the armor advantage plus their theme of humans allying (sans the western lads, of course) to kick the other species' rears. Didn't stop me from enjoying the other character's in "heroes," though.
In either the second or third installment after winning 2 different campaings, or winning one and then with the demons, a new faction was unlocked. It was an Arnold Schwarzenneger terminator themed one. Does anyone remember? There was a T-1000 with a riot shiel and a baton, one with a machine gun, one flying similar to the T-1... and so on. And as people here have state I often remember the cool flash games I played as a child/teenager, like Fantasy Kommander, 1917 and 1944 and 1066 (a stick game of the viking invasion of england), there were some really cool games... sadly all gone since flash stopped working. I recently I remembered this game only I couldn't remember the name, so thanks for this video.
It was definitely warlords 2, but iirc you actually had to win 3 campaigns with different factions to unlock terminators. I was hoping someone would mention this in the comments though.
Warlords (the whole series), autumn war, mud and blood, submachine, there are too many good ones to even remember all the names. Flash games were my whole childhood
All I saw was the Thumbnail and my mind just went through a huge fucking flashback I had once thought forgotten. Warlords was THE GOAT of a flash game growing up.
I remember a spinoff of this game that turns it into a sidescroller hack-and-slash following Achilles. And I remember being able to soccer kick a decapitated head towards an approaching enemy.
man I am glad to see I wasnt the the only using the spam axeman strategy I remember playing this game when I was a kid and I remember abslotelty adoring the elves because I loved the whrilwinder guy I remember rushing him straight up and giving all the upgrades on him because he was just so cool and murders everything
When I was a kid my friend basically gave me an unbeatable strategy that I used all the time. Basically you flood one lane with archers and send out spearman from time to time to block in front. Eventually there will be so many archers in that lane that nothing survives, and the horde of archers going over will just overturn the bar in no time
I have NEVER Stopped what i was doing harder than i did when i saw the thumbnail in my recommended tab. Flash games like this one made me the strategy gamer i am today.
I've lost track of the amount of hours invested into Warlords 2 over the decades. the game made up the backbone of Flash games of the day up there with the warfare duo, colony, last stand and Age of War. what a blast
Oh well... idk who you are but it great to see this game on a youtube video... i allways come back and play 1 of the warlords games every once in a while ... They good games i guess Thenks on making videos for oid flash games :D i miss the times when u played games in browser
Last time I was looking for flash games years ago, this was the one I was trying my hardest to remember. Absolutely the gateway flash game for me, love the simplicity of the original, just like with Swords & Sandals.
4:22 I disagree on the basis that the unit has a STUPIDLY LOW production time -- they produce even faster than halberdiers, and have better stats for the same weapon setup. While the single unit isn't great, if you can get 5 of them out for every kingsguard on the enemy side, it's still a massive W. Firstly, odds are they win the head to head. Even if they don't because unupgraded, you can still assault 5 separate lanes with them for 1 unit the enemy sends.
I remember playing the second Warlords game (or maybe the first?) when I was a kid. Maybe the game was just easy, but I recall using some sort of cheat that either lowered cooldowns or gave you unlimited charges. Thank you for making this video
I can't believe I found this game. I used to play this when I was a kid, and some time ago, I was trying to remember the name of this game, but I couldn't find it, so I gave up. However, I would occasionally think about it. Today, I saw the thumbnail on my homepage, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I opened the video and liked it without watching a second of it.
It was a part of my introduction to flash games and strategy games in general haha. There was an unmentioned race for the second game though, demons and the Terminator race were unlocked by beating the game and then beating it on the harder difficulty. Later on I played these games with younger members of my family. Kinda cool to see them mentioned
Oh my god, thank you. I've been on an old flash game binge recently and this was one of the few that I remembered what it looked like but not the name, and then I just so happen to get this in my recommended!
I forgot this game existed! I remember playing this a ton when I was a kid playing RuneScape. Also, got to say, loved that FGO reference at 0:42 with the class triangle; it was like seeing my present self interacting with my kid version of myself, which was pretty cool.
There are so many game ideas hidden away for decades on kongregate. I'm always sad that people are so slow to adapt these beauties to full games on steam. Go back to Warlords 1 style graphics (basically but colorful shitty pixel or vector art) and we are golden.

Wow, what memories this game brings back. I played it so many times and my favorite factions were the humans and elves; I think there was another one that was like the undeads or some kind of demons, I don't remember well, but they were my favorites and I would conquer the entire map for hours on end. I think I just played the first two, I never touched the third one, I didn't even know it existed; of the three, I prefer the first one, it has a special nostalgic charm for me.
Great game, though the best race I think was anything that could spam lots of ranged attacks. Or troll waves. Those trolls killed super fast and had alot of snowballing.
Holy shit. Never thought I'd see this crop up in my lifetime again. Used to play this in class during middle school haha. One kid got the demon faction and we all freaked out.
i personally loved warlords 2 When flash died, i was worried it in it's true form would be lost forever thank you ruffle for saving so many great games like this one
This was MY LIFE and I feel SO BAD FORGETTING IT! Thank you SO MUCH for the trip down the memory lane. What a game this was. And the second I saw the skeletons I said "Yeah these guys had a special bonus...." and turns out they have the +/-3 when others have +/- 2
I remember this. My favourite factions that I won with were the Night Elves, Undead, Human Alliance, and Men of the West. The Undead and Men of the West were pretty self-explainatory; the 3+ Halberd and 2+ Sword damage shredded, while the Night Elves and Human Alliance had broken special units - The Whirler and KIng's Guard had insane damage potential, usually taking out 5-6 units and making charges come one after another.
I was honestly dying for about 3 minutes when I saw the Skeleton Halberd spam, it was the exact move I did as a kid too. I also had no idea they made a 2nd one let alone a 3rd!
Played this game in the room when I was waiting for my niece to be born didn’t remember till right now, very special memory for me and now, this game is special to me
In the hacked version of the 2nd game you could play as an army of Arnold Schwarzenegger terminators with Hunter-Killers and the big tank terminators. I remember when you win a battle as them the ending quote would be "You are mine now! You belong to me!" in a terrible Arnie impression. Man that has been seared into my brain since childhood lol
Remember playing this k. Addicting games, my friend showed me this and even at 8 he knew undead halbeards were the way to go. Very simple graphics, timeless tho. It also taught me that if your opponent is strong in one place, attack where he is weakest. Honestly a great game. Whoever made this, I hope they’re in a good place (not Woodbridge VA)
The wood elves go crazy man, just get three of their souped up archers and then put a few swordsmen on front of them, and then proceed to rush mid. Even worked against the demons
I used to love playing this game in school. I'd just spam spearman in the middle and eventually I managed to beat the Demons which seemed impossible at one point. Some of the unique units were so cool like the Axe Thrower, Troll, Javelin Thrower and King's Guard.
Holy shit I haven't thought about this game in over ten years, but I knew exactly what was about to happen as soon as the Whirler walked on screen. I loved those guys so much I used to pretend I was one with a broom handle.
Oh my god.... I just talked with my coworker about that same game, we both forgot the name of the game but we both used elves and just a line of massive archers that somehow always did the trick! But my first flash game that really really got me hooked was epic war 1. This game was solid 9/10 for me and when i played the second one, i fell in love. To this day, at least once a year i complete epic war 2, this game is just... GOLD! Also honorable mention, hands of war. Very interesting rpg game which i played in Y8 years and years ago, but thank you for the name! Going to play that in a millisec. B-)
I started on Kong in June 2008 and the second and third badges I ever earned were Field of Corpses and Medieval Unity for Warlords. The last badge I ever earned was in Dec 2020. This title rings so true.
I remember this! Forgot alllllll about it till I saw the thumbnail. Personally used to play a LOT of thing thing arena on crazymonkey games, and last stand.
Holy crap the thumbnail alone activated every single sleeper memory that i didnt know i had
I actually felt them activate. Like electricity running through every braincell.

Same Feeling, like unlocking DEEP memories
same here, god it must have been over a decade
Fr, me too

Strike Force Heroes and Battalion Nemesis!
Bowmaster
Once every few months I run flashpoint archive to play all of those nostalgic gems
@@pjthehomelessmage Bowmaster Prelude! That was one of my faves. Also Rebuild is one I forgot to mention.
Dude, I loved like, every game you listed! Man, they were the best times
Holy fuck, I forgot about this game
Same haven't thought of it since I was a kid.
Same, ain't it crazy how many of us are the same 😂. Guess many are in their early 20s too haha
Same dude
yea fuck me too
So u don't explain how does this game work? How do u win battles?
Warlords: Heroes was my crack.
A more complex version of the classic:
ACHILLES
I could hear this comment
Maybe the first flash game I ever played
@@geldarus who can forget that sound?
I knew I recognized those melee animations 😂
@@geldarusRAAAAA!
Remember that you can still access most flash games through flashpoint archive, it is a real nostalgia trip
Screenshotting this comment. Thanks man
based
Never knew this! I just screenshotted your comment :)
Still, i wonder if all flash games will be there and if some are not just lost forever?
@@Shuforces1 so far I’ve been able to find almost all I can remember and have run into many forgotten gems I didn’t even remember
Ruffle also effectively runs all of the warlords games now!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that forgot this gem of a game, this, the last stand, warfare 1914/1944 and the age of war games were just straight up bangers back in the day
DUDE FUCK YEAH! I loved the warfare series man
man those were amazing, those games made me love Men Of war: Assault Squad 2 and Arma 3.
BTW you can still play most flash games by downloading the Flashpoint project, it's like an archive with every game that existed (I played warfare and age of war games recently)
don't forget Last Stand.
Warfare 1914 and 1944 are still playable on Armor Games if you really wanna have a nostalgia trip 😅
@@oldmachinesicecreams7609 That's what I'm saying, you can still play ANY flash game by downloading the Flashpoint Archive.
You have no Idea how many nights I spent searching for this game and trying to remember it's name after I played it so many years ago. God bless you and the algorithm that decided to randomly bring your video to my recommendations!
Dude same! I used to play this game with my buddy against each other lmao
@@Lyserion. Oh yeah me too! It was really a fun time!
Same here, it had me typing the most random crap in into Google to try to find it. So so glad this video was recommended to me.
Did you play black navy war 2? That's another memory right there
Feudalism, Battle Gear, Siegius, Stick War, Warlords, Strategy Defense, Mud and Blood 2, Age of War, War and Beyond: Deadly Strategies, Warfare 1917/1944, Epic War, Miragine War... I used to play so many strategy games. Thanks for bringing my memories back
Warfare 1917 and 1944 deserve a sequel asf
There's a steam version for mud and blood
Screenshotting your comment bc I forgot the name of feudalism and have been trying to find it for years. Thank you.
I remember there was flash game where you were sending ships and aircraft to enemy from your massive ship, you had 3 big fucking guns
Feudalism damnnnnnnn I haven't heard that in 15 years
Mine was the Feudalism series.
@@MalcrowAlogoran Feudalism was so similar to Mount and Blade, it must've took some inspiration from Feudalism or the other way round.
@@TheSm1thers it was sick game for its time. Feudalism 2 was even better. And for some reason Feudalism 3 turned anime with guns 🤣
Don't forget House of Wolves
@@MalcrowAlogoran I thought Shogun Ghosts were the most OP melee until the Elite Janissaries starts spamming their fireball and multi scratch.
Man that was pre-M&B i think
My brother caught me playing this one time, I told him it was almost the perfect game, he pushed me aside, put Mount and Blade on my computer.
Hell of a core memory, thank you for the nostalgia trip
your brother is truly a man of culture

@@Puschit1I disagree i recently played last stand 1 & 2 steam versions and it was just like old times just HD
@@Puschit1 what game?
@@HeliodromusScorpio Okay, it's actually called "The Last Stand: Aftermath" so I probably fell for a bad sequel
Oh shit, this was my budget total war game with my broke ass pc.
This, Stick War and Epic War 5. Those are my favorite war games.
Graphics were definately best in the first imo. Just detailed enough you knew what was what but not enough details to look janky like the newer ones. It was like with swords and sandals where the more complicated the designs were, the more the rough edges really showed where you kinda just ignored the jank in the older ones because it was all simplistic enough to flow together.

I would buy on steam game that have old flash games vibe
Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh WHAT?! There's a second and third game? I've only played Warlords (1) and Warlords Heroes
Yeah, I never heard about those before, what a shame.
2 is the best. Well worth playing.
rise of the demons is a major upgrade and awesome
Simplicity and clarity are honestly pretty great for visual appeal. You also get to fill in the gaps with your own imagination a bit, which I think is better than an overload of detail and a plethora of things to keep track of.

I miss Kongregate and that other site, the flash games of that era were amazing and there were hundreds of good ones.
@@Puschit1 ye sad they wont make more of em now, but at least we can still play them with flashpoint

I was literally thinking about this game last week and how well made it was for a flash game
Im so glad i got recommended this video now
I played this so many times and kept replaying it everytime I finish the conquest. This is a goated childhood game ngl.

thank you ruffle for saving so many great games like this one
This brings a huge grin on my face, man, this takes me back.
I forgot about this game and didn't know there was a third, now I do and I'm happier for it.
DAMN CORE MEMORY UNLOCKED, totallllly forgot how much i played this. thank you for this throwback
This was MY LIFE and I feel SO BAD FORGETTING IT! Thank you SO MUCH for the trip down the memory lane. What a game this was. And the second I saw the skeletons I said "Yeah these guys had a special bonus...." and turns out they have the +/-3 when others have +/- 2
This is an absolute genius idea! Make videos recalling old games, like flash games. ❤❤❤
Subscribed!
I remember this. My favourite factions that I won with were the Night Elves, Undead, Human Alliance, and Men of the West.
The Undead and Men of the West were pretty self-explainatory; the 3+ Halberd and 2+ Sword damage shredded, while the Night Elves and Human Alliance had broken special units - The Whirler and KIng's Guard had insane damage potential, usually taking out 5-6 units and making charges come one after another.
The thumbnail immediately shot me back to playing Achilles in after school on those old dell dimension pcs
Memories just came rushing back
I played quite a bit of the third one. Always loved stockpiling special units for a grand charge!
I was honestly dying for about 3 minutes when I saw the Skeleton Halberd spam, it was the exact move I did as a kid too. I also had no idea they made a 2nd one let alone a 3rd!
Played this game in the room when I was waiting for my niece to be born didn’t remember till right now, very special memory for me and now, this game is special to me
Oh the game that gets me into war mentality in young age.
There are also rpg version of it, where you control the purple guy
Weird that my brain suddenly can remember stuff after seeing it
Thanks for the unlocked memory
In the hacked version of the 2nd game you could play as an army of Arnold Schwarzenegger terminators with Hunter-Killers and the big tank terminators. I remember when you win a battle as them the ending quote would be "You are mine now! You belong to me!" in a terrible Arnie impression. Man that has been seared into my brain since childhood lol

so many good memories from newgrounds in the golden age of online flash games.
The wood elves go crazy man, just get three of their souped up archers and then put a few swordsmen on front of them, and then proceed to rush mid. Even worked against the demons
I used to love playing this game in school. I'd just spam spearman in the middle and eventually I managed to beat the Demons which seemed impossible at one point. Some of the unique units were so cool like the Axe Thrower, Troll, Javelin Thrower and King's Guard.
This one random video just neuron activated my nostalgia playing those old ass flash games i played more than a decade ago, man, time flies
20 years later and I still think about this game weekly. Thanks for making this video.
It all comes flooding back
Man where did the times go. I remember playing these during classes in the computer lab.
The guns of Icarus music is a callback, I miss that game.
These games were ahead of their time
IMO, the first game's graphics/art style has a simplicity to it that scratches a nostalgic itch in the brain.
Holy shit the thumbnail unlocked a core memory like food critic from Ratatouille.
You just gave nostalgia to an entire generation. Thanks man. I forgot how much I enjoyed this game. Never knew there was a 2nd and 3rd tho

I knew it, Nasu you hack! THIS IS THE FIRST GRAND ORDER!
Thanks for the video, had a lot of good memories with 1 and 2, but didn't even know 3 existed.
Holy shit I haven't thought about this game in over ten years, but I knew exactly what was about to happen as soon as the Whirler walked on screen. I loved those guys so much I used to pretend I was one with a broom handle.
The moment I saw the thumbnail all the memories of being on a school computer came back 😂
Oh man I played this game for years, thanks for the memories
This game was absolutely legendary bro can't believe I forgot about it
I didnt even play this game but all the memories of playing diffrent flash games thought middle and highschool resurfaced xD
Glad I'm not the only one who realized that spamming halberdiers as the Undead was the way to go
Loved this game. Played trolls every time for the giant troll. Nothing could beat a full line of giant trolls
Ive been trying to remember this game for years, holy shit thank you
The moment I saw the thumbnail I instantly clicked the video with no hesitation
Oh my god.... I just talked with my coworker about that same game, we both forgot the name of the game but we both used elves and just a line of massive archers that somehow always did the trick! But my first flash game that really really got me hooked was epic war 1. This game was solid 9/10 for me and when i played the second one, i fell in love. To this day, at least once a year i complete epic war 2, this game is just... GOLD! Also honorable mention, hands of war. Very interesting rpg game which i played in Y8 years and years ago, but thank you for the name! Going to play that in a millisec. B-)
Thanks for the nostalgia trip. This oddly reminded me of playing Feudalism as well.
This guy needs to make a full fledged high quality warlords on steam.
I started on Kong in June 2008 and the second and third badges I ever earned were Field of Corpses and Medieval Unity for Warlords. The last badge I ever earned was in Dec 2020. This title rings so true.
You've awoken crazy memories.
Every once in a blue moon, my memories of this game will resurface.
I remember this! Forgot alllllll about it till I saw the thumbnail.
Personally used to play a LOT of thing thing arena on crazymonkey games, and last stand.
i have very good memories of playing this game when i was a child, cheers from argentina
