Well Im not saying this is right or wrong yet, I am reviewing the video sent, if anyone else has other evidence showing crawlers being "OP" from what I see here its just animation cancel which is totally fine, and takes a bit of skill to perform. but ill let you know. I would like to see a video of 2 crawlers taking out 2 Swordwrath and an Archer - because this video only shows one archer (that's out of position and running away too late getting killed.)

I don't have enough to say one way or another right now. Fury or anyone else can you provide me with a video?

Btw, those annoying sounds you hear, are from me spam-clicking.

would it be possible to take animation cancelling out? I just think that many won't be happy about it...

Then that would ensure order would win almost every game. Just go Archidon + Swordwrath! Almost every game against a chaos will end in less than 4 minutes!

In a real battle that wouldn't happen, nobody would let their crawlers get killed like that, the person I fought called his crawlers back, by the time I got to his base (with my spearton) he had like 2 bombers, boom boom chika choom, my spearton dies, comes to my base, etc.

Quote from Exxmorphing

well most people would be screwed if they go juggerknight rush in the beginning, so you don't really need animation cancelling in the first place. plus, most people who play chaos are usually better.

My normal strategy, which is not shown in the video, is pretty bauss and almost always protects me early game.

Now you're just being stupid. WHY WOULD YOU SEND YOUR SPEARTON TO ATTACK HIM.
Oh, and that was a real battle. We both tried to win, but I came out on top, just barely.

Keeping my spearton at my base wouldn't change anything, we would do what you did, attack my miners, but with bombers, and you got 4 miners at the beginning at your game, with the spearton, you have to wait longer for more miners, which will be a huge economy advantage.

Question: Why doesn't a Castle Archer stop this strategy if it doesn't?

eh..hem, while im improving my economy, they are improving their army, because they already got a good economy.

I see, I see
by the way, exactly how much does a juggerknight cost?
and you do realize that Tecness2 signed off, and probably won't get back on for the rest of the night, 77Row?

we don't have lives, do we?

I couldn't care less if he signed off :l

Quote from Exxmorphing

But don't you need someone to wage war against in order for an arguement?

This "war" wasn't really toward him, toward the fixing of the crawler glitch, and the animation cancel thing, even though I love it, it must go.

Quote from Exxmorphing

clarify what you mean more, then we'll answer your question

Tecness2 and others, My opinion about animation cancelling is now pending- I don't take it back, I'm just thinking about it a bit more.

I just realized that 1/6 of ALL my posts are on this thread...

2, hell, even 1, castle archer can stop the Crawler before they animation cancel if the opponent can learn to bait in the enemy.

3 population
450 gold
50 mana

Hes pretty much camping my base untill I call my miners out which will never happen.

Nope, crawlers cost to less and come too fast.

Research castle archer first at the beginning at the game against chaos and this with stand an opportunity for you to improve your economy and army (to improve your economy, don't forget to research miner hustle and passive incoming gold). Use defensive strategy is a better way to stand against chaos empire.

The crawlers were meant to counter the Archidon + be even more effective when he runs away.

You have almost as large as an economy as he has, 1 miner short. You just picked bad times to build units.

Sigh -_- By the time he has those 2 extra crawlers, what units did you get with your 300 gold? I'm assuming two more miners, right? Well, next time, try two swordwraths.
