I think that works, but may work best with ranged units.

Ranged units kite, tanky units tank...

sure, but ranged units can also be out-of-the-way while attacking, giving you ability to use them with ease, it works best if you use hold position, but you get the point.

Heronww medusa massed me. It's so powerful.

Beating heronww is easy once you know what he does. I lost my first game to him because I wasnt expecting the medusa mass, but won the next 3 games. Basically, just treat him like you would any giant masser. lotsa pressure, prevent him from buying a medusa for as long as possible, and when he does, charge it 3-4 with speartons and kill it with extreme prejudice. Dont try to stall him out, as with every confrontation he can easily kill a few of your troops.

dude, beating anybody is easy if you know what they do, but I get the point of using him as an example

Quote from jerrytt

Because right now there is absolutely no counter to medusas.

Why not just use your spears and kill the medusa? ._.

Nice man

Gosh, this is OP

We need to find a way to beat this, and quick.

I guess ninja mass beat this? Kill those medusas when he is trying to stack more medusas
If he is storing medusas in the castle, then will archidons mass works? Cuz medusas cannot attack long-range units

I have thought about this.

It is impossible to get a ninja out in time to kill medusa, cuz she stones you as soon as you come out of shinobi. What I do, is buy rage, swords, and merics. With extra cash, I buy giants and magikills. Played 4 games against him, won only 1 :/

But 25% win is better than a 0% :)

Mass low level units like archidons. If they insta-kill one, what's the big deal? Like maybe 5 out of 25. Just stay out of the poison pools.

Pressure them early on. If that dosent work mass archers and spears. I did this.

You're in the 1900s; do you have a replay of you beating Herrown on a medium/long map where he medusa massed?

You're strategy does NOT work; JerryT did that, and he failed.

Archer Mass, preferably with flaming arrows. Petrify is useless, only takes out 300 gold. Poison field does not much either, because they are long range. Get a few giants, to prevent the Medusas from retreating.

Will not always work. Medusa can petrify giants in 4 hits, so you will need 5+ giant. The medusa masser can retreat as the giants only hit 1 medusa at a time, Then the medusa will heal, and repeat. And spear mass won't work because medusa kill 16 of them, leaving only 7 left. Poison will slowly kill them, while medusa can attack them (I think normal attack is still high for medusa...
