I've been testing a strategy where you build up your speartons and get a magikill(and the spells) and attack. nce your enemy realizes they need to take care of your magikill, send your speartons for the attack. Use extra money to buy giants.(If you're against giants, you have to poison the giants,then retreat. I've won most of my battles this way. I just haven't found its weakness yet.

swords or shadow run around your spears and kill you magikill.
albows have fun

one shadowwrath+albows

nuff said. You should try getting walls, so you mage is less vulnerable. Multiple magikill also helps.

I will now point out this strategy's flaw. I hope you dont get angry, like a certain person I knew.

1. Shadowraths. They can assasinate your mage in one blow with Shinobi 2.
2. Lack of ranged units. Ranged units such as Albatross deals heavy damage to your Speartons.

These two combined, Shadow + Alba, your strategy is now invalid.

i usually attack early,so albatrosses and shadows aren't usually a problem, because of the mana cost,but units going around my speartons cause a problem. I also use the sword bash from time to time.

shield bash*

there are some good points to this strat. If you have extremely good micro, you can go shield bash+electric wall for massive damage to ground troops (stun them frst, and when they are rooted to the spot for a few seconds, cast an electric wall on em.

I agree. Don't underestimate the power of shield bash, it has a ridiculously long stun time (5 seconds) and can surprise an enemy.

I think this strategy is good. Try to add merics, albowtross and maybe one giant...

i'm also just building up about 20 speartons(at least 15) and just garrison your miners, and the speartons run to destroy enemy statue,not worrying about enemy units attacking unitil statue is gone.

:P I hate when someone does that... But he could make walls, castle archers, mages, swordwrath.

This is called Spearton Rushing, but most of us already know how to counter this.

lmfao bait them with the magikill and then spearton rush them. that's golden!

I would take out your mage with my ninja, and the rest is for my costume army...
