Okay, I've been doing terrible lately. I do know why.
I have no semblance of a late-game balanced army.
I usually start Sword+Archer on long, 2 Miners 1 Sword on short or medium (3 Miners if I don't think he's going to rush me). So, I get 8 Miners on gold, 4 on mana, Castle Archer, it's all good.
Now I morph into Aiman Turtle with Spears+Albas. I get Blazing Bolts, a Magikill with all spells to kill Sword masses, a Shadow with Shinobi II, Miner Hustle, Tower Spawn I, it's all good, too.
Here's where I start failing. I have no idea what to do next, so I just keep going Spears+Albas. Opponent has Swords, Spears, fully grown Giants, a Magikill, and a couple Merics. I assassinate the Magikill. My Shadow dies. I pwn the Swords with my Magikill and I pwn the Spears with my Albas. My Spears are now low in health because of the Swords. The Giants kill everything I have.
I lose.
But that's not really the point. I need a list of different useful late-game builds, and I need advice on which is best for me.
Thanks!
(in advance.)
