We all know that the creators of SE are working on a new mode, Deathmatch. You will start with 3k Gold, 1k mana, and 8 Miners.

What would be an appropriate opening in this format?

Obviously building 2 giants is not the way to go, so please no noob posts :p

I'd be making...

1 Giant (1500g)
2 Speartons (900g 100m)
1 Mage (500g 400m)

I have 100g and 500m. Putting all my miners to gold, while researching Poison Spray, Giant Growth, Electric Wall, Blazing Bolts, Spearton Wall.
Still making miners.

Still, theres a thread like this right? Lets keep this one up, and not make anymore similar threads.

Is there instant build time? If there is, I would go for a shadowrath spam :P If not I'd just go 3 miners: 450 gold, 1 magikill: 500 gold. 500 mana, about 2-3 speartons: 1350 gold. 150 mana, I'm left with 3000 gold - 450 + 500 + 1350 = 3000 - 2300 = 700 gold. And 1000 - 650 mana = 350 mana... I guess I would buy a shadow, that's: 150 gold, 500 mana left... I'll probably send the 3 miners to mine and get another mage? OR I could research the magikill spells? OR research the shadowrath SHINOBI? I'd prefer to research magikill spells...

Theres a trend aready? Plz link me it

Think Early Shadow to counter Early Magikill will have to be a must...

Spam swords with rage, Lets see how far this gets me.

Just one magikill and you lost...

@maxchiang: When most people are gonna head for magikills, you must think of a way to counter. Shadow that is. Just research his abilities the next mining trip comes...

I would make.

3 speartons: 1350 gold and 150 mana
1 magikill: 500/400
1 meric: 300/200
1 shadowrath: 450/150
2 archidon (important for those damn albowtross's): 600 gold
Shinobi 1: 100/100

Miners: 4 to mana, 4 to gold

Currently I have spent 2900 gold and 1000 mana. After I get enough gold I will purchase cure and the magikill spells, then I will purchase shinobi 2 in order to take down that BLASTED magikill.

If this is death match, why is there miners? Because I thought in death the there is no income, only a set amount of gold and mana.

Shadowrath, Meric, and Flying Crossbowman mass. Reason?

Seeing that everyone is going 2 or more Speartons, Giants, and Magikills, the best way to win is to counter them.

Shadowraths can kill the Speartons, Magikills, and Giants. Flying Crossbowmen would be the supporter.

However though, I am planning to turtle while I'm building up my army.

@DragonFrost Maybe it's just something to call the game. It is sorta like a "Deathmatch" because you're given all these funds in such so little time, making the game very suspenseful and pressuring.
