Strange :/ I did a test, 3 archidons can kill an albow (without glitch). Also, since they'd re faster and longer range, kite the albow. Maybe you didn't micro and the albow had blazing bolts (my test was no blazing bolts)?

Yeah... The albow I versed had blazing bolts. After he killed my archers, I withdrew my 4 attacking speartons. He had a few swordwrath and one albowtross. I was aiming at early attack with cheap units like archidon, but the albow got in the way.

Eh? You had speartons? Why not use them as tanks while archidon shot the albow?

Human shields are epic win against ranged units, I use swordwrath as human shields all day every day, although I usually switch to speartons eventually.

Meh. Speartons suck against mass albows, they would all die in 2-3 volleys. Then the archidons are FUCKED! Although if it was just a few albows, your spearton is safe.

Quote from PankiGiant massing caused swordwrath massing, which caused albow massing, the way I see it.
Giants < Swords
Swords < Albow
Albow < Giants (with magikill)
60 swords can't beat 10 giants

You don't only mass swords when fighting giants. It takes too much time to make. Instead, you should have a bunch of swords, a bunch of albows and a few magikills.

Get a Giant. Doesn't need to be upgraded. They can take down Albows with ease.

They can, actually.
6 Swordwrath can beat a Giant. 12 can beat 2. 18 to 3, and so on.

Use archidons:
1. They have speartons or ghost or giant meat shield to EAT ARROWS
2. Flyers have too many hit points, archidons can hardly kill them, but archidons have damned less hp, so they PWN archidons
I thought archidons suppose to anti-air, such as shooting their wings and make lots of damage, but they only make a narrow damage
Hard to kill those albowtross...
Use giant:
Too slow, they have enough infantries to pwn your giant and your supporting army as blazing bolt or DAMNED LOTS OF wingtons do TONS OF damage
Btw, it takes 3 stones to kill a wington, too slow...
When you use magikill,
1. The albowtross fleet a little bit and let your magikill leaves your meat shield and shoot him
2. the spearton meat shield rush your magikill
I think flying units are OP, as Tecness said, we should nerf them back

Archidons? They can defeat any strategy except probably mass speartons. They can kite every single unit (well, except faster units), even egiants and albows. It's why I mass archidons a lot of the time.

Archidon:Most range
Albowtross:Moderate range
Giant:Low range and hard to control.
Like Fr0st said, Archidon can kite Albowtross one by one by training them in large numbers(6-8) and research fire arrows to outrange them.
The only thing is Archidon can''t target Albowtross when they're in close range. Move Archidon to a specified place to target the Albowtross.
