1300-1500 Ranking Strategy
Small Map (Castle, Swamp, Drawbridge, Halloween)
1) Build 3 Swords
2) Send them to take over the center.
0 units come at you, rush the enemy and make them garrison. Kill their units and statue until they have a castle archer.
1-2 swords comes at you, kill it
3 swords come at you, distract their units till you have 4 swords and kill them
1 spearton comes at you, distract the spearton till you have 5 swords and kill him
3) Build 1 Sword and 1 Miner with your first miner money
4) Build 2 miners while replacing your 5 swords if they're killed. Garrison your units after the first attack is always useful.
5) Build 1 Archidon and send all troops to center. Make him retreat if he has troops there.
6) Build 2 more miners and have 2 pray. Buy a spearton.
7) Build another miner and get miner hustle
8) Build another spearton, miner, and one albatross.
For medium/large maps, it's the offensive strategy except you build 1 miner and 2 swords in the beginning.
