Yeah, but this strategy shows no signs of fading, even more so with the recent sword buff. IMO they should have only buffed the archer cost and left the sword cost as it was (150g).


This is right. They should only buffed archers to 300g and let swordwraths as it is. But trust me although this one seems really holding on right now. As in the live replays which I watch some of it. Almost all the players use this against each other. It seems to be more effective on Order vs Order. But chaos has bombers which does the most of the work.

I think the creators thought about buffing swords. Because they're early game units for Order and where trying to even it up with crawlers. But I don't think they thought about Order vs Order. I don't know what to say about this? Nerf swords back?!

archers are actually pretty perfect atm. think about it. if you're having a swordrage skirmish and the enemy wants to get rid of those dratted archers, he has to take some units to kill it, and while they're knocking out the archer/s your swords can inflict unrecoverable damage onto his swords.

so basically bait. archers are bait. but when you get 5 or 6 though, they can kite swords to death. with a tank, archers can inflict sizable damage. if you really like archers so much then turtle, tank, and shoot.

We mean early game -_- that means no tanks, no 5-6 archidons. And not much other units so he can't be used as bait.

In my opinion, Archidons doesn't need a buff.

It's unreasonable to take out an Archer in beginning of the match because they are support units. If the archer doesn't have anyone to support with, how could he be able to survive?

If we debuffed Swordwraths and Rage, then Chaos > Order.

If we buff Archers, then Stick Empires will promote annoying kiters who will ruin the fun for everyone, and no solution to kill them.

So there's no really good solution. Just turtle and buy a castle archer. Once you have a good army, Swordwraths would be useless. However, during mid-game, I feel they need to buff Fire Arrows more, it doesn't penetrate armor compare to Flying Crossbowmen's fire arrows.

Well I'm curious as to how those people are bred so quickly. Personally I think the barracks aren't drawn to scale; they're probably giant whorehouses.
