Wow you didn't even put the weaknesses of miners in.

Is that a joke?

Stickman. One of SE's most idiotic player.

Gamer, perhaps you should put in some of the finer aspects of miner optimization: specifically, adjusting the ratio of miners on gold and miners on mana in order to build a unit faster. For example, having 9 mining and 2 praying is great for building speartons, but if you want albows, you should have at least 2 more miners on praying. Otherwise, your albows will be built at a slower rate, and you will have a useless gold surplus (or rather, a mana deficiency).

Ah...Sounds like macro. But yeah, guess I'll add that. The ratio for different need for mana.

Miner optimization is micro.

What is better? passive income or tower income

Tower. Unless you turtle, the amount of gold needed to rival tower's passive income is quite high. It also would be good to point out that the only time it becomes truly effective is if you plan for a very long game, in which case your opponent may get passive income, and then they are still defeating you by twenty gold per tick.

Passive income gives you 15 gold and 7(?) mana. (at level 3)
Tower gives you 20 gold.

Passive 3 gives 20 gold 20 mana

Well, I know passive income 1 gives 5 gold per income and 3 or 4 mana per income. Following a pattern, wouldn't passive income 2 give around 7 mana per income and then around 14 or 15 mana per income for passive income 3? The amount of gold doubles each time, so why not the amount of mana?

lol - Apparently I am the only player above Rank 50 that gets Passive Income III b4 4 minutes when attacking...

I'm no fattygoat, but why doesn't anyone else do this?

There's no point in doing so... it's nice if you're so well-matched it comes down to who gets starved out of gold first, but why don't you just get an extra spearton or something with the money? Maybe it's because I'm a noob, but I really think that Passive income isn't that useful early game.

I only get it if gold mines are running low or if I have excess gold (units are queueing so I can't build anyway) and early game neither of those usually happen.

i only get passive gold if i have extra money for it... but other then that i dont know whens a good time to get it.
