but you distract them
he can act only in two ways
-he uses the giant to attack your speartons / you can attack him with your albows and do a lot of damage (without counting ghost spawn)
-he attacks the albows and there are no miners around / the best thing here is to make "retreat/attack" moves with your albows while your speartons attack him
he cannot let the speartons attack him if he can't hit anything else, so when you retreat with your albows he will attack them: but then you come back with the albows and he'll try to attack them again
and you know what's the good point? while he is trying to understand what to do, his economy doesn't grow, since he's too occupied to fight against you forces, while your resources go up
also, with all the "attack/retreat" you do, you inflict damage, thus turning the tables on your favour
From the UK? Anyways, the Giant could easily walk past the Speartons and still attack your Allbowtrosses. Dead in a matter of seconds. Personally, what I do in the case of Giant spammers is get around 20 Spearton with 2 healers and 1 Magikill, with Spearton in Garrison so he doesn't notice them. I then use the Magikill to limit the numbers while my Spearton rush past them, and since he has no other fast units his statue crumbles. Works only on long maps BEWARE!
