Could somebody give an opinion: Is starting with massing sword and economy better (then training various units), or is making one archer and a sword and THEN massing economy and training speartons better? (plus pressuring opponent-offensive)
Oh, and if other, give a brief description. thx.

This... isn't a poll.
But anyway, Archer/sword is good on small maps. (Castle, etc)
1 Sword + 2 Miners = good for medium (Swamp Lands, Gates, Ice World, etc)
3 miner = good for big maps (Only Grass Lands)

thanks. I use archer sword on small and medium, but three miners on big. Maybe a swords instread on big maps??? (early game for better economy)
And KrayZStick, it is a poll, except with opinions. I just don't know how to make that graph thingy.

Just go to the bottom where it has a choice to make polls, click add poll. Personally, I've noticed 2 Swords very often in the medium level. For higher ups, it's usually 1 Sword and 2 Miners.

Another question for Order. Do you just swamp Swords and Archers until you get the middle with Rage? Avoid Speartons until you actually have the middle?

One person did that to me, but my archers kiting his swordwrath were more effective than his archers kiting my speartons.

No, not for purposes of harassing the economy. It's only for capturing the middle. Since 3 Swords with Rage > Spearton, is spamming Swords a better solution to getting middle than to use Spearton, Ninjas, and Allbowtross?

After you get the middle, of course get Spearton since they survive Castle Archers.

a better way, since 3 swords with rage does more damage than spearton, send the spearton to tank while 3 swords destroy miners.
