Can't quite explain as to how this works, but a new reoccurring strategy involves massing speartons (well over 8) and running PAST your defence straight to the castle, wrecking t before you can even touch them. How can I stop this, as I am not the aggressive player.

How do you counter this, as to me the only reasonable counter(s) are Miner Wall and Magikill, but that most likely takes less time than simply massing speartons.

Sword+rage also works well.

or albow+fire arrows, with extra statue health and 2 magikill

Go for spearcher yourself, keep up with his production and rushing isn't exactly the best strategy. If he starts stacking *a lot* of speartons, get a wall or two, a mage is great and yeah. Albows with blazing bolts are decent but they cost a lot of mana and I would just go for some mage spells.
