Yes. Also, just to let you guys know, it is possible to kite egiants with archidons (no flame arrows)

But that's ineffective unless you have like 40 archidons or something.

Problem is, I'm having most trouble on small maps since they leave no room for kiting and all people I face on shorter maps seem to giant spam.

Hmmm, never really seen an effective archidon mass. Because when that happens, my juggerknights use charge. Just ask Bladed Fire :P

A major problem with archidon spam is magikill. One sexilly placed blast and then all your archers are dead. Or at least most of them. :P

I saw your thread about discussing strategies and such. Reason I cant play: I can't go on the computer (almost bedtime here :)) but I can go on the iPad. I can go on forums, but not stick empires.

For the magikill to get close enough he will have to get in archer range, at which point he's got arrows in all his body.

I always use magikill too so.... Yea. It's mainly because they own everything and I have a cool staff for them.

This is disappointing. It's nearly impossible to release a giant now on it's own, and players are still here bickering over giant spamming remaining unsolved??

Let's face it, the problem is you now. Obviously, if he's able to get giants and you aren't, quit blaming the game. You're doing something wrong. Fix it.

I'll give you a hint: It starts by actually launching an attack.

^ I totally agree with that; giant massing only occurs when you let it.
