>.> At least 2 swords and an archer by the time you get a spearton, many of my opponents who spearton rush die.

Well actually... we are exactly equal economically, actually I am ahead by 50 gold. I'll have a Sword as well by the time you get one.

Whatever you say :/

Here's my crappy replay where I play against an account my friend let me borrow.

Tell me where you'd get the advantage.

OH MY GOD HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS, IT'S ONLY FOR GRASS HILLS. And also, your friend sucks as he didn't target Archidon and did this on CASTLE. Literally can't do anything worse.

This is exactly what I mean.

You get Spearton on Grass Hills, you have 1 Archidon 1 Sword, and if you have 2 Swords then so do I, and I kill your Archidon

1 Spearton 5/6 health and 1 Sword
Against 1 SwordWrath 1/2 health and one full health Sword.

lol you read wrong. My friend let me borrow the account (he's just starting out and sucks even more than you say :D). I'm playing against myself to test the efficacy of the quick spearton.

Ah, I missed the grass hills part because it got pushed back to page 1, sorry about that.

In that case I have no more complaints as I don't open with sword + archer on Grass Hills xD

Same, I never said I start with 1 archidon 1 sword in grass hills (or any big map)

Yes, the Spearton is not the best, even for Grass Hills, but for my level it helps finish off your opponent quickly. At least for this account. On my other account if I used it I'd be done in 40 seconds.

>.> sure, it works now, but what I'm saying, is when you get to our ratings (1800+) that is not going to work...

FOR GRASS HILLS OH MY GOD!!!

IT's NOT GOING TO WORK! No matter what map size.

Heck, why not start with an alba?

Because that sucks. Putting you in a massive disadvantage in economy, while the opponent can just buy a few archidon. The early eclipsor doesnt work either, although it is cheaper. Reason why it wouldn't work (say against a 2 crawlers 2 miners start) is because the crawlers can retreat, then they buy a dead and pwn the wingadon (crawlers as tanks)

Uh....That was really just sarcasm.
