Hey guys,

Which one is the best kind of spam? I've tried giant spams however Enslaveds are horrible against mobs, whereas magikill dies in an instant. Both are also slow to train. I've been thinking of going (all) of one low unit. Which one guys?

none of those you have stated, or basically any kind of "rush" is a good idea. Do you mean spam? (those arnt good ideas either)

giants cost 7 population while migikill cost 5. You can have up to 80 population at a time.

Hey guys,

Which one is the best kind of rush? I'm new to the game and it seems that I can oly summon 4-5 Giants and Magikills. How does population work?

It should be pretty self-explanatory. On the top-right corner of the screen, there should be an icon with two people in it. The number to the right of that icon represents how much population you're currently using. It increases as you make new units, and decreases as they succumb in combat (or poison.)

As you move your cursor to your units on the bottom left, the game should tell you how much gold, mana, popuplation and time it costs.

That's as simple as i can put it for now.

swordwraths beat giants well order giants

Swordwrath spam vs spearton spam?

idealisticly, the swordwrath wins, but in a real game situation, one cant build swordwraths fast enough for the usual counter number of speartons. (4 swordwrath=1 spearton usually)

Every spam sucks, cuz let's say you build spear spam, and your only makin it and not gonna make anything else. Then, albowtross comes and defeates your spears.
Also, about giant spam, the key factor is : takes lots of money to build and also, it only attacks one unit. So basically you need to rush, get your economy ahead of him, get tower spawn and kill his miners.

No spam is the best...
they have their advantages and disadvantages
but surely giant spam is the most sucked one...

It sucks, yet it hurts to be on the receiving end. (Especially if it's > 3 giants)

Spamming is weak.

Miner spam sucks.
Sword spam is destroyed by castle archers and magikill + walls.
Archer spam is defeated by giants, albows, MAGIKILL.
Meric spam is defeated by spearton rush.
Magikill spam is defeated by ninjas and giants.
Spearton spam is defeated by flying units and Magikill.
Albow spam is defeated by Magikill and shield block Speartons.
Ninja spam is defeated by flying units and a well-timed poison.
Giant spam is defeated by sword spam.

However giant spam is probably the closest to best; just alter it by adding in a magikill, three shadowraths, and a lot of merics.

ETA: Well then again, every strat has a counter. Spam is weak, though, in that a lot of units rely on others for support. Tanks deal damage but really are designed to protect weaker units. Ranged units are great but usually weak so they need stronger units defending them. In general though, spam is weak because they have obvious counters, are predictable, and take too long to queue (bad macro).

giant spam isn't the best. Just rush and u win! Actually, i think magikill spam is the best

Rush? Le me camp at base with lotsa giants AND perhaps 1 magikill and...YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

I remember an idiot who using his giant spam on me.
Instead of targeting my Magikill, he targets my shield-walled spearton.
I killed 3 of his giants just using 1 magikill.

Say, how'd u get a 2 giants in the 3rd minute when I attack with 4 spears, tower spawn and 5 archers.

Forgetting walls and castle archer? Perhaps...a magikill?
