Use swordwrath to overwhelm the enemy by numbers.

Quote from jzqwertyUse swordwrath to overwhelm the enemy by numbers.
you can't the magikill's first spell has an area affect that does about 80% of there health and speartons' shield bash has a knockback affect that stuns them and allows them to be over run

Tower Spawn is imbalanced.
Use it.
Use it.

This is my strategy for the Order faction (Only used against the Order so far, not sure how it will far against the Chaos)
This strategy has given me a 16/3 win loss ratio. (If you take into account that 5 of my losses are from lag forfeits ;))
Build:
This opening works with pretty much every build, allowing you to get an economical edge over your opponent.
[INDENT=2] *Make sure that the spawning miners are being sent to work on the gold patches.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]*This tower generates 20 gold every so often, and while this isn't that big it can still give you an edge (1 free miner, an extra swordswrath for more map control, etc.)
*However, the biggest reason for taking this tower is to make sure that your opponent can't use Tower Spawn. This will screw you up majorly (If you don't have a huge army to negate the effect), and it's very difficult to recover after this.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]*The Swordswrath who hit first will win the fight.
*It's not a big deal who wins and has control over the tower (For the first minute or so of the game), as they most likely won't get Tower Spawn that soon. Later on with your stronger economy you can easily overwhelm them.
*If your opponent harasses your miners with his Swordswrath, he'll have so little hp you can just poke him with your pickaxe.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2] *If your Swordswrath is still at the tower, send him to your opponents base to 'scout'.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=3]*This is to gauge how serious the situation is, seeing how good their economy is, how large their army is, and what its made of.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=3]*Occasionally they'll overreact and send all their units into garrison, heavily damaging their economy.
[/INDENT]
Note: If the opponent ever rushes/attacks you, just remember that's why you had a swordswrath positioned at the tower. To get a head's up of the situation. Just gauge the situation. If he's sending ~5 Swordswrath at you, don't overreact. You have the superior economy, and can get out an army to decimate his. This will put him even farther behind, so you can probably just end the game right then and there.
Build Order System:
Population 2 - Build 2 miners, 1 Swordswrath.
7 - 4 miners, Swordswrath if opponent is rushing.
15 - 3/5 miners (Mana), Spearton or other offensive unit.
Then build whatever. :D
Other Random Useful Tips:
With this strong of an economy, you can build pretty much anything you want. However, try to remain smart about it.
[INDENT=2]*With the Flaming Bolts upgrade these are extremely good for support. About twice as good as the Archers, actually.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]*If your opponent is going for giants, don't overload these guys. They're easily destroyed by giants (2-hits), and if your opponent focus fires them and you don't have any Speartons because you got too many of these, you're screwed.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]*Good in the beginning and as a quick reinforcement later on, but you'll find that they're easily killed, and shouldn't be used as the tanking/backbone of your army.
*Can be used to "scout" your opponent.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]*Great for holding off mid-game pressure, and as a backbone of your army.
*Use them to tank enemy giants. If the enemy is massing archers, they can run up and slaughter them too.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]*Very useful. Can be used to hold off Tower Spawn.
*Use if your opponent has giants. Those fatties can never hit the wall.
[/INDENT]
And I've left out so much stuff... But I don't care :3 I think that was enough.
The only time I've ever (Legitimately) lost using this is when my opponent took over the tower and used Tower Spawn.
Good luck, have fun people! :D

Build:

1. When the match starts que up 2 miners and 1 swordswrath.
[INDENT=2] *Make sure that the spawning miners are being sent to work on the gold patches.[/INDENT]
2. Your swordswrath should finish in-between your first miner and your second miner. Send him to the tower in the middle of the map.
[INDENT=2]*This tower generates 20 gold every so often, and while this isn't that big it can still give you an edge (1 free miner, an extra swordswrath for more map control, etc.)
*However, the biggest reason for taking this tower is to make sure that your opponent can't use Tower Spawn. This will screw you up majorly (If you don't have a huge army to negate the effect), and it's very difficult to recover after this.[/INDENT]
*Some players will have the same idea to take the tower, and will also send their swordswrath to fight yours.
[INDENT=2]*The Swordswrath who hit first will win the fight.
*It's not a big deal who wins and has control over the tower (For the first minute or so of the game), as they most likely won't get Tower Spawn that soon. Later on with your stronger economy you can easily overwhelm them.
*If your opponent harasses your miners with his Swordswrath, he'll have so little hp you can just poke him with your pickaxe.
[/INDENT]
3. Keep producing miners until you have 8 of them on the gold patches.
[INDENT=2] *If your Swordswrath is still at the tower, send him to your opponents base to 'scout'.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=3]*This is to gauge how serious the situation is, seeing how good their economy is, how large their army is, and what its made of.
[/INDENT]
[INDENT=3]*Occasionally they'll overreact and send all their units into garrison, heavily damaging their economy.
[/INDENT]
4. After you have 8 on the gold, start producing 3-5 miners to pray for you. (Depending how heavily you plan to rely on mana)

I actually posted a rush build, and it wins very often.

Mt strategy is to build one swordsman to capture the obelisk and use the obelisk spawn to soften up the enemy, after this i build 2 miners for mana and put 1 miner on each dig spot. The I build my army :P

Here's mine, it does not work as well on the small castle map as the initial archer does not have a lot of room to run around.
1. Get archer and miner
2. Use the archer's ability to secure mid (Only attack when the bow is pulled back completely, then run back and repeat to kill enemy sword wrath)
3. Get two more miners (One to get mana)
4. Get a spearton
5. If he's offensive, build a wall past the obelisk. If he's defensive, amass archers and assert map control
6. Get at least 2 healers and a couple more speartons (get the shield wall upgrade)
7. If they have alot of healers, get ninjas and flying guys to slip past and focus them
8. If they have no air attack, consider getting some flying guys to poke them
9. Rest of game is all up to how they play

I don't know if this will help, but I am a Chaos user.
First I put my two Miners to mining.
Rappidly I build 3 Crawlers, and then a Miner.
I amediely make my Miner pray.
Once one crawler has been produced, I scout the centered point.
If there is someone there I will run away untill my third Crawler is done, then I will come back and kill anyone there.
I will produce 3 more Crawlers.
And then I just build Giants and Ghosts.
Regards,
pus
P.S- I can't beleive I am placed 60 in the world.

Sounds interesting. That's been used on me before, but I've never lost to a rush build before.
I'm currently rank 4 on the leaderboards... heh

It is only alpha right now, so there are few users anyway. Right now, I'm around 40, but when the game is officially released, I'm sure I won't even be on the leader board.
