Firstly, I wonder how the game is one of the most "popular" and highly rated games of all times. The game is barely fun or not fun at all, unless it is fun or VERY fun. Besides how the game is based on fighting and living in an ancient special type of way at all, it just means that it can be boring or less fun. Along the way, maintaining technology in wars was more clear or better in medieval Europe than it is now as far I know. There is no way Stick War should always be so popular. I'm honest.
