Like i said, early game. EARLY GAME. One does not simply get speartons early game. geez. but yeah, i guess the splitting and having one stay could work. but if thats the csae, then the poison buff wouldnt be that much of a buff right? :/

Castle deads are really only an issue on a small map. On a small map RUN BACK TO YOUR CASTLE. And, if this IS early game then the player who made the castle dead is set back by 300 gold while you can simply keep buffing your econ. Then, BUY A SPEAR. Thats it. You've won. And besides, on a small map you NEED to go swordspam to win. Its simple really.

and on a medium map the person with the archidons would lose 900 compared to 300.

but the archers actually move

if you can ninja archers and predict exactly when they will get a castle dead, and avoid getting hit by the splash poison that means unavoidable death, that would be great.

Castle deads don't need splash. They are fine as-is.

which was my point?

Well then how do you win if your opponent gets 3 archers and kill all your miners? Maybe make the splash only poison 2...

If you've been pushed back that far it is your own fault.

Well how are you going to even defend at start?

Actually it's macro rather then micro.

Yes. However good your micro is, if you have bad macro, you'll lose.

Good macro > Fucking amazing micro (doubly so in lag)

But in the sword+archer combo in a short map vs chaos, Chaos is destined to lose becuase they will kill your crawlers and bombers 1 by 1! then kill your miners! Castle dead will just kill them slowly 1 by 1! They will get another swordrath.
