Well, my sword wouldn't be half the health, Yourarchidon would. Cuz i'm a really pro kiter, my archidon can kite foward your archer. So, your archer would go back behind your statue. But anyways, my archer is in front of my sword, and i would be shooting your miners without your archer shooting my archer. If you bring foward your archer to shoot me, i would regroup and my 2 swords will be charging at u (3 if u plan to make spear

Oh dang, you can forward kite. Watch out we got a badass over here :P
Anyways, after a few forward kites, your archer would fall behind, and I would be shooting at your sword. Your archer probably would not catch up by the time that I get to my base, And like I said, your sword would be at half health. The state of my archer is neglible as he is using the miners as meatshields and not taking any damage himself. And, like I said, I would be using the miners as a meatshield, so you shooting at them would not be as bad as you would think. And with good micro, I would lose no miners, meaning my archer start beats your archer sword start economically, so the one getting the swords first would be me. It would either end up with me losing nothing, and you losing your sword, or mabye me losing a miner or two, and you losing your sword and archer, depending on whether or not you stay.

I saw WyzDM doing this on halloween several times now. It's tricky to pull off.. Usually if I try this, one of my miners die. You do get another archer when you get 300 gold right?

EDIT: I saw people do it, but they failed at protecting their miners from the archer's and sword's attacks. I can target your miners and kill one. While you kill my sword, I'd have another coming. You'd have to garrison your miners. I keep making swords and charge you every time. I can also make miners as much as I like... But if you pull it off at first, then you might win.

Holy **** 1000th poooooooooost!!!

Well, since im just as good at kiting as you, i can just forward kite your sword to death, even if you withdraw it.

How about we just have a match to see who would win?

So you never actually attacked my miners, and everything you said before was a lie? please, start making some sense.

Oh yes... make a match... and please post the replay here.

Added a replay showing how its done :P

I think that if he didn't surrender, and you left him alone, he could have pulled off a counter.

My final miner count:about 7 or 8
His final miner count: 3

that'll take some skill to counter.

you never got a meric out to heal your miners, he could start harrassing your miners and you would have fell faster without that, and he could also build his economy.

Its kind of hard to get a meric out in less than 2 minutes... and the fact that my economy more than doubled his could be taken into consideration when deciding who would be harrasing who later. I only had 3 out of 7 miners at half health anyways, and like I said, They are supposed to take damage under the assumption that I would make offensive units later.

true, but if he did not surrender, you needed to build an army to keep his miners from coming in abundance, and you needed it fast.

Well, thank you captain obvious, for the wise words of advice. That I would need an army to attack his miners would have never occured to me. If it werent for you I would have just sat there in my base, not make anything, and watch as he killed all of my unhealed miners, and not do anything about it.

Seriously though, Im pretty sure all of us know whow to play this game, and that all of us could win given twice as many miners as the enemy.
