Hey ! I found a tactic which almost never fails me , may be due to my low elo , don't know . So it goes like this:
*At beginnig put your miners to gold , take 2 miners and a swordrath.
*rush showdrath to the middle rally point, leave it there until something kills it.
*take your 2 new miners to gold , and take 2 more miners.
*take Castle Archers level 1.
*1 more miner
*Castle Archers level 2
*Take all your miners to praying, until 100 faith (the thing that is not gold :)
*Get miner rush
*put them back to gold , summon 3 more miners and put 2 praying 1 mining.
*(At the moment you could be attacked a few times , just take your miners in and your archers should cover you)
*2 more miners , 1 mining 1 praying.
*Get a shadowrath and shinobi 1.
*Get it scouting with shinobi.
Now it splits up , either your oppenet has a balanced army(some from all) , a defence army(more speartons, healers and archers) , or a aggressive army(more shadows and swords).
If he has an assult army ,
*Build up 5 archers.
*unlock defensive stance.
*Summon 6 or so speartons
*Just enough archers to make them into 2 lanes.
*2 healers.
*Lure him into your castle archers , keep your speartons ahead and make sure they are healed , while archers attack from behind.
If he has a defensive army ,
*Get 7 speartons with defensive stance on.
*Get 2 mages and 3 healers.
*Get tower spawning as he won't be attacking you due to his defensive army.
*Get it level 2 and giant should give him some trouble.
*Get to the mid rally point and wait until next giant comes.
*Get launching little by little so Mages can catch up.
*Keep speartons healed and theirs hurt.
*If done right , it should take his army down with little casulties by your side.
If done wrong you both should end up with 0 army.
Then re shinobi scout them as they may not be having the same army once more.
*If they are balanced ,
Build up 10 swords
5 shadows
2 healers
4 flying archersing .
Unlock shinobi 2 , flying archer burning arrows and rage.
Lure them into your base and destroy them with help of your castle archers , if they tend not to come , harass them with your flying archers , and they should get bored of it , if they still tend not to come , build up , ghostly spawn level 2 and it should be enough for them.
Sorry if too long, and I expect your comments. I don't really think the numbers properly while gaming , usually I see them as 1 line of speartons or etc.
If pop capacity overflows feel free to kill your miners.
If pop capacity is not full ,feel free to increase numbers or add new units.
Have a good day and a good game.
