I honestly don't see how a magi kill even if aided with some walls can beat spear ton massers


With good micro.

and I have four things u need to balance to win
1. fast economy-the ability to get a good enough economy fast enough; counter with- offense
2. offense- ability to attack at the right moments; counter with-teasing
3. teasing- ability to send 'suicide units' so you can attack & build an army; counter with - defense
4. defense-ability to gather army to protect yourself from enemy attacks; counter with-fast economy

I would reccomend cycling between fast economy and teasing at the beginning; afterwards, use offense and defense.

Here's a hint: If you're having trouble with speartons, you're not raging enough.


actually if you get a mass of giants, it actually works, try it out (i am in the 1200's though)
plus- i may have a thing for swordwraith, they're cheap, but they don't live long enough, even with rage.

They are cheap, dispensible unit. They deal heavy damage in packs.

I know, but they are only good for the beginning, then you get more expensive units.

Trust me, I used to be like you too. Swordwrath were practically useless until I learned how to micro them semi-properly. Then they are powerful... very powerful.

Um, well, to be honest, you should be trying to figure these things out yourself. That's part of the fun in playing these games.

Ok, right off the bat, lots of things I notice that could be better:
1. Don't start with 4 swords. That's wasted queue time that could be spent getting miners.
2. Take the tower as fast as you can. That 20 gold + scouting info advantage builds up very quickly.
3. Use the middle tier units! You tech straight up to giants. Why?
4. Your opponent sucked, he didn't focus fire with his speartons on one giant only.

Frankly, you won the game out of luck, mostly.
