Yep. Bad timing. BTW on topic try mass albows, and another one is get one ninja at a one time, get both upgrades, assassinate until forfeit or your ninja dies (btw retreat after cloak attack and attack after cool down is done). If he dies then get 1 more. Continue until he forfeits due to anger and no miners lol

that works, theoretically. Wanna try? :)

Quote from 3FFA

I've still got a lot of free winter vacation time and other bits of free time to spend and lately I've been quite bored, so I started doing really stupid stuff on empires, with mixed results. Then it dawned on me that if other people have weird/unorthodox/maybe stupid ideas, why not try it out online?

So give me your best/stupid strategies, and I will try to plow through Empires using ONLY those strats, and then post up the results how that particular strategy worked out. It's better than just pure theorycrafting, and when replays are available, replays will be posted, so go nuts.

All the games, except noted, will be played on LADDER Empires, with this profile. Other wins/loses are ones that I couldn't finish because I either 1) defeated them before, or 2) got defeated before using it. So yeah, here's to screwing up my record! :D I wanna see how far I can get by just using these strats, ahahaha

Note: It is unlikely that I will get to play out each and every strategy posted.

Projects:

Finished

Get 40 Miners and mine the opponent's gold mines.

First Impression: Doubt I'll make it to 40 miners, even with maxed out castle archers and miner walls etc.

Result: Won by opponent lagging out of the game. Got real lucky considering I was getting overwhelmed by a rush of speartons.


TO DO LIST:

Keep at least 1/5th of your army composed of pure Magikill.

Note: An idea proposed to myself by myself.

First Impression: This will be really hard to do. The Magikill will require a lot of micro, and I'm not too good at using them to begin with. Will be really funny if this works.


Spam Merics

Note: I won't spam until I get through the early attacks and have 7 or more miners.

First Impression: This may actually work but I question how well I will be able to handle mass speartons.


Play a game with your screen upside down (control- alt- down arrow)

Note: I will try this on 3 computers, if it fails to work on the computer, it will be left here to be done in the future. One day.

First Impression: This will be so much fun! :D
