I want to know more strategies, because I'm a bit bad player.

Here's my strategy.

At the start, there are 2 miners, the one will mine gold and the other will pray.
After I commanded the miners, I will build a castle archer and a swordwrath unit.
Once the miner have gathered gold I will build another miner and let it mine.
When the swordwrath finished building, that swordwrath will rush to the center tower.
After the miners earn mana and gold, I will build a flying crossbowman (since most people start with a bunch of swordwrath).
The flying crossbowman will guard the center tower and I will build more miners and earn for a giant.
But most battles end in lagging and surrendering :( .

What can you say?

What's your strategy?

Sword and archer will kill your sword. They will get the economic advantage from the tower, so they will have more resources, despite having the same amount of miners as you, as well as a larger army. They can easily scout with their sword or archer and maybe take 2 shots from the CA (at most) and still survive. They then begin to build their army and economy and then they will have multiple swords and archers (atleast I will) while you have some swords and an albowtross or two.

My swords would start killing your swords while my archers fire at your albowtros, killing it. If my swords die or you rush my archers, I can easily kite. Your albowtross will not be able to keep up with my archers and will have to deal with my swords, who I will send at your swords, and your albowtross will be left alone. After I deal with your swords, your albowtross is then dead.

Albowtrosses are fairly useless since they can be shot down fairly easily. I always get a giant before I get an albowtross. Besides, 2 archers is better than one albowtross until you get a giant, at which point 6 albowtrosses with blazing bolts tears through units.

This might work in the low ranks where people usually start with a full turtle.

Sword and Archer wont kill my sword because I will bring my sword to the statue. I will research passive gold income and build more miners. I will research for miner wall. Albowtross and sword is not my priority its the giant. 8 miners will mine and 2 miners will pray. Earn for a giant and research giant growth. Another Strategy is waiting for people to lag :P.

whoot....you will research gold income in early or mid game? and which map?

My sword and archer will then get tower and I will be able to get more miners and get a larger economy. I can then easily get a tower spawn in a similar amount of time you can get an albowtross and begin pressuring.

I think you should have them mine gold first, and get 1 sword 2 miners for long, 2 swords 1 miner for medium, and 1 sword 1 archer for short. If your rating is below 1400, then 1 miner 1 castle archer would do. Get 8 on gold 3-4 on mana, but for grass hill do 12 on gold. Get passive income and capture center before attacking. Don't get a albow right away because there only good for late game, or if your opponent has melee units only. Also, get giant growth. I think you should get atleast 5 speartons and 1 shadowrath with shinobi 2 before a giant. Get mages, and albow/archer depending on what your opponent is doing. Sometimes shadowrath/albow combo and also get a few merics with cure. If they giant mass rush there statue with shadow/spearton when there 3 quarters you your base. Also always get resilience just in case.

Wouldn't rushing when they are already 3 quarters to your base be a bit late? Wouldn't it be easier/better to just rush once they go a bit past the central tower?

giants are very very slow and hit 1 unit at a time, so it will take a long time for them to defend, and are small in numbers so they won't do much damage.

Basically, this is just a variant of fattygoat's infamous strategy... the turtle strategy. Basically, the concept is the same. Get a unit to distract them so they are content with holding the mid tower. Then, spam miners and get castle archers and walls to stop any rush. By now, the economy of yours far outstrips the enemy's, so you go about to make the ultimate army; giants and magikill and merics, while the enemy is stuck with speartons and archers and swords.

The difference is that you don't distract them like fattygoat at first. Fattygoat used a sword and an archer to beat back the enemy's sword and archer, using the gold they use to get extra swords to get more miners.

He then bought a castle archer while they prepared to rush him with swords and an archer, and continued mining with only one miner injured.

By the time they got a spearton, he had a miner wall up to keep the spearton out while the castle archer rained arrows onto it, forcing the spearton to retreat.

All the while, his miners are doing wonders for his economy. So, by the time the enemy player has 3 or 4 speartons and raging swords to attack his miner walls, he'll be just in time to pull out a mage with all the spells, which would be just about enough to kill all enemy swords with electric wall.

By the time the enemy gets enough forces to rush again, he gets a giant to tank for the mage, and so on... he stays just 2 steps ahead of you throughout the game by focusing on economy, and only using mages and merics and giants also helps his already massive econ a lot.

So, by the end of it, he'd have giants and mages up to 80 population and an almost self-defended base, to prevent spearton rushes, while the enemy is stuck with half-grown giants and speartons. Your plan is similar, but your distractions are fewer.
