Ok guys the medusa poison trick is this,

STEP 1: Buy a medusa
STEP 2: Attack with your early jugger they probably have only archers and swords. They will most likely garrison.
STEP 3: Place medusa outside castle door and use venom flux.
STEP 4: Your opponent will be kinda locked down,if they come out they will die from poison if they stay in,they lose economy time while i build my army.

Basically,do to the new patch i lost all my replays of locking my opponent down and winning but heres kind of one vs madcap :)

EDIT: AGAIN I FORGOT THE REPLAY!! www.stickempires.com/play?replay=replay1682821&version=1.66

EDIT: btw madcap is actually chao5walking

...So you start with a JuggerKnight, then a Medusa?

try to build them at the same time if you can,archymusic does it alot in his replays
.

if they have only archers and swords, why would they garrison for a jugger? and why wouldnt they pressure with those archers and swords?

I'm pretty sure 3 swords can beat a juggerknight, I'm sure by the time you get medusa with venom flux and all, they will have 3 swords.

Hmm... Maybe you are right but did you watch the replay?

vs a 1500? i doubt it would work in a real against an 1800 match that you are not completely dominating and would win anyways.

Ah, sorry, since your step one was listed as getting a medusa, I thought you meant an early medusa. But yes, the venom pool right at the castle gates basically speeds up your victory, since if you could get a mage that close without resistance, well, then you kinda already won.

Medusa technically the anti meric , petrify :cant heal them they died, venom flux : if they still stand on the puddle while fighting they're constantly getting poisoned

But there's a weakness in medusa which is, once they pertrfied, they are almost useless.

Yep at least the merics actually gets shit done

Actually, this never works on short maps or medium maps, cuz u basically get rushed til u don't have anything, and on long maps, giants with albowtross with spears in sheild mode will pwn u. If u wonder how i get that army, i'll say how u get 5 medusas

well then a 3 sword can suddenly attack you medusa
