The letters are one of the sides (or what ever) in chess, the numbers are too, so maybe your pawn is like at a2? you move it up on you go to A3 (or B2? idk)

There are 8 pawns in total, and the center is usually what the two players fight for, since the center (like the middle in SE) gives you overall control. Some players use knights, but the standard is e4 or d4 with Queen.

Anyways, back to SE. Speartons survive Castle Archers well. Okay, your opponent is ahead economically? Think Again. You have purchased 1 sword, which is 150, and your opponent bought a castle archer, 300, and you have successfully

A. Captured the Middle
B. Forced Him Into Garrison

This by itself should give you an economic advantage.

True, but only for a very short period of time. If you don't spam miners fast enough, his economy quickly surpasses yours.

This. Sword and 2 miners is by far the most balanced starter. If they outnumber you you can make more units, and if they do pure eco you can take middle.
You should predict and watch for a castle archer so that your swordwrath survives and can capture the middle. (dont bother getting it in beggining unless its grass hills. Go for their base instead)
keep your swordwrath at the bottom of the map so that they cant see your approach on the mini. Also, when the castle archer appears, run away at a diagonal UPWARDS direction. this will cause some of the arrows to miss and some to not do any damage at all (learned this from you fr0st :D)
take middle.

Now to deal with spearton spam...

try to get 2 more swords early game while you go for more and more miners. Then albow spam if he has a significant amount of speartons. 4 miners on mana and 8-10 on gold is enough to indefinitely sustain albow making. mabye get a magikilland walls late game to stop any attack. Try to constantly harrass their miners early game by:

get rage and shield wall.
1 spearton and 6 swords
send a spearton to their corner a good 3 heads before the line of swords.the archer will lock on to the spearton, who is sitting in the corner with a sheild over his head. meanwhile, your swords are murdering his miners/ speartons with rage. Stop wasting spears once you get tower spawn I. by then you should have about 3 albows, enough to stop a small invasion.

Try forward kiting with archers/ albows to kill any retreating spears, which as you said, was the main problem of this stratedgy.

Okay... think about it this way. You are ahead by 1 miner. You have a continuous supply of gold, while your opponent will have to wait because he garrisoned. You have more MINERS, and who says you can't spam them as well? You are already ahead economically.

The middle actually gives you quite a large amount of gold over time....

get some archidoins for sure, some speartons, castle archers as well and make sure u Dont get the wall, they will destroy the wall with archi's (as I do lolz), make sure u follow this and u will win.

heres what i do, i buy 3 miners at the beginning and when i make my first 150 i buy a swordwrath, and then continuously buy swordwrath and miners till i have 8 miners, then i start doubling the production by buying archidon along with them, during so i also send a couple miners to the statue to get rage, swordwrath with rage are the speartons number one foe against an army of swordwrath

also 3 swordwrath with rage can kill a single spearton, they both have the same population stand.

swordwrath and speartons dont have much of an economic difference

450 gold to get 3 swordwrath

450 gold and 50 mana to get a spearton

either way if the speartons stay and fight the swordwrath, then the speartons will be overwhelmed, if the speartons attempt to rush past your army, just keep using rage and kill their units one by one, but remember you must know what your foe is making so you can prepare with walls and castle archers.
