What would you call this? Like, when you rush an opponent, then they have to retarget? Charging at Contact?

To be fair, he can win if he moved his injured archer away, and kill the sword first, then the archer. So... I think he miscalculated.

P.S I don't like the music.

Wait, so did your archer shoot two arrows at once or something? Cause he did have more health but still died : L

Also, how did you get Stick Empires in 1080p? I can only ever get it in 480p

I don't understand how people have such great micro
Like micro is being able to skillfully use small amount of units like 1 or 2, right?

And, another question is do buying stuff with empire coins give any slight in-game boost or is it just purely for accessorizing?

Its called 'skill'. Also maxichang, you should have lost. He didn't even kite back with 2 archers.

Just ignore stickman; he's got a thing about noobs. For some reason, insulting innocent questions makes him the bigger man.

Anyway, no, buying stuff with empire coins doesn't really give a boost; but it makes yourself feel cooler and makes the enemy think he's going up against a veteran player. So, the answer, I believe, is not really, but perhaps.

As for how people got such good micro... I think Max just lucked out because whoever he fought didn't take him seriously enough. It's impossible (no matter how good you are) to constantly win against 2 archers with a sword and an archer.

Micro is basically how well you micromanage your units. This isn't limited to being small groups of units; it can extend to how you pull the giants up front, how you shield bash and cast poison spray immediately after, to how you place your merics or even how you manage your miners.

Have a good time around the forums, and try not to let the pros beat you up. Some of them may seem to hate you, but they are pretty good at StickEmpires.

Thanks for answering my questions :)
I can tell that people often hate noobs from looking at other pages.
