Chaos: Always start with 2 miners, 2 crawlers

Order: Long: 3 miners. If they get middle, get a castle archer with the gold you have
Medium: 2 miners, I sword. If they get better stuff, I get castle archer.
Short: 1 miner, 1 castle archer.

Not enough offense on Order. Turtling is susceptible to rushing.

If u're fattycow/pig/goat/dog/etc, yes, it's a good strategy, if not, no, that's a terrible option

The initial rush is always small and usually consists of 1-2 swords. Its more a way to get your focus off his econ. And if its GH he just sends one sword off to die.

The majority of the top 50 can turtle just as effectively as fatty (insert Animal).

No. Not at all. If you say this you have never faced fatty in a proper match where he turtles. Its hellish on GH.

Have you not seen the new Spear Glitch? Turtling is now as easy as ever (the only time I could think of an easier time to turtle was x4 castle archers at 300 each).

Perhaps, but the concept of doing it and executing it properly are very different. Fatty is a successful turtler because he has a very good sense of timing and actually knows how and when to attack. Any idiot can turtle, but it takes someone skilled to turtle properly.

But seriously, without the tower your as good as not getting an army. The tower has tower spawn, and its very useful. The castle archer only attacks front lines, so your mages can poison their miners and destroy the miner wall. When they get mages, get shadowraths shinobi 2 and don't forget, get some giants later.
