I absolutely LOVE playing against Archidon massers. The ones that just mass archidons and no speartons are even more fun to play against. They think that they'll win by hiding behind the miner walls the whole time and then doing a quick mass attack.

All I need to do is build lots of Speartons and maybe Albowtrosses and control the center. I often just upgrade to Tower Spawn 2 and then let their walls start dying before I do a fullout attack massacring all the archidons and miners and destroy the statue.

I just want to know WHY people think that Archidon massing with no speartons protecting them is smart...
Archidons are long-range but they get slaughtered in close range quite easily AND they're on land unlike Albowtrosses.

Do they mass Archidons just because they're cheap and use less population?

If you kite with archers, they're deadly. I had one spear and like 15 archers and the other guy had 3 spears and 5 archers and the tower with tower spawn and I basically did a turtle. He got magikill and I dodged all his spells and got a meric while I put out a stream of spear to rush his magikill. Eventually I killed all his spears and his archers were way outnumbered and died.

Archer mass can be deadly if you do it right.

If he bought shield wall he would have won.

Nah.... archidons are really good as pressures, and they can kite if you do it right, what an archidons mass just needs are tanking units ^^

Actually, u don't need tanking units. Al you need, is 40 archers and a large map.

And your checking on economy while you have 35 archers, 3 speartons shield wall while I magikill blasts them, and poisons survivors.

Tank units aren't that helpful if i just build a bunch of speartons to slaughter each archidon unless it's a giant tanking. If I have a spearton and archer vs. spearton and archer, I always kill the archer quickly then attack the spearton

and how you going to attack/destroy the enemys statue??? If they only have at least 1 magikill, your attack is doomed..

40 archers destroy the statue very fast.
I'm gonna do that with ghost spawn 2 if they have castle archers.

Quote from ShadowGeneralChaos

maybe you forgot tanking units? And what will you do if you dont have ghost tower spawn 2 and the enemy has 20 albows? That means 40 archers vs 20 albows, and as we know, 20 albows easily beat 40 archers...

40 archers easily beat 20 albows because of range, kite, and speed.

oh yes...of course, sorry, I was wrong, But still, it isnt very good to have 40 archers in the army. They are so vulnerable against magikills.....

Lol kite again, but if you had 5 magikill and spears in shield wall most probraly you would hit the archers.

Wut? 40 archers lose to 20 albas? Nonsense! They can easily pick off the archers! I tried. 24 archers vs 12 albas. Albas rape.

... what now!!! 20 albows > 40 archers or 40 archers > 20 albows? Archers are faster, but they have lower health and also lower damage then albows... but do they have highter range? I personally would go for albows, but I cant ignore what stickman said.....
