So I was playing Stick Empires like I do, you know, and my opponent suggested we have miners wars and only make miners, so I agreed. Near the end of the game when I was almost done making all my miners and walls and castle archers, I send a spearton down to make sure he wasn't doing any shit (dumb move that late, I know) and of course he had massed maybe 20 Speartons in his castle, and because now the jig was up, he attacked me.

I had 40. Miners. and 3 Castle Archers. All coming down on this guy and I was sure I was gonna lose but might as well put up a fight, and so I started using my excess cash and mana to spend the last of my seconds in bliss, and so I began clicking on giants and speartons and archers and magikills and stuff.

Half a minute later, all my miners are dead, and guess what? Only around 7 Speartons made it out, all with only around 2-3 bars of health left, and so I let my archer and Spearton that I had trained now, and my three castle archers kill the speartons.

Every. Last. One. Died.

Personally I think this is a very interesting observation, although useless because you can't expect your enemy not to make an offensive and just let you mass miners. But what luck! So soon I made some more miners and started harassing him, both verbally and on the game (he claimed to know Brock, that he went to the same church as him, and that he was a hacker, so I started telling him off) and then beat him.

tl;dr MINERS AND CASTLE ARCHERS = GREATEST ARMY EVER. sometimes.

Well here's where you can put that info into good use malbence. If you have castle archers+ a good amount of miners and the opponent is harrasing you with 1 spearton (usually the early spearton the opponent might go for just to harass your miners) you should ALWAYS set the miner he is attacking and a few others to attack back. At most he can kill 1 miner but be srsly injured. Injured enough that you can easily finish him off later. And if he garrisons to heal up, healing a woounded spearton takes forever so he will be ut of commisinon for a long time.

Its way better than losing all that mining time.

Don't you mean 40 miners? Besides why would you do that on a rated game? You risk losing rating. Use it on a friendly game!

good, you lost just a little mining time and 150g. But he lost 450g and 50 mana with that spearton :).

Whats tldr?

Too Long; Didn't read.

Oh, thx.

The big part, and it's the bottom of the OP.

Great 1 line summary for our friends with short attention spans :)

Now that miners move faster, this makes then even more suitable in self-defence than before.
Get miner hustle, and they will become a ninja strike force - well, almost :)
Add the fact that now they only carry at most half a bag of gold, and the loss for a miner dying is even less worrying than before.

I'd say this is sorta impossible. But...

Did you tell your Miners to target one Spearton at a time? That would sorta work. Plus, those reinforcements you had with you--the ones you had after he invaded.

Anyways, I'd say he did not have around twenty Speartons. By the time you make forty Miners, he would most likely have less than fifteen or so.

No Juice Box I felt like massing tons of gold and mana because I figured if we were both making the same army then why not? But he did have a sexyliciously large army of Speartons.

Also no, I didn't tell them to target because I thought that was a waste of time; I let them kind of wear down all the Speartons and then let the Castle archers finish them off while they tried to destroy my statue.

the miners thhemselves did not do much damage. they were just acting as the wall for the enemy to bunch up on while the castle archers did most of the work

Actually, miners do quite a bit of damage (albeit less than castles), and 40 does LOTS of damage.
