Yeah, iRIDDICKi JUST did that on me :P

my hate on archers can never be vanished :mad:

Quote from mysterybat

I think archer is just a useful unit for short battle , but for long, archer is not that useful indeed
A serious problem is that all archers can easily be cleared once there is a mage, just a poison spray can kill all archers.

So most of the time I only use archer to get the middle, and then tech up to better army like albows and giants

You can avoid your archers being annihilated by Mage by making them run around.

Keep in mind that with lag, archers are as good as dead. Why? Since they cannot kite or chase efficiently and our bound to be caught up in a magikill poison spray :/

Lag can remove a lot of aspects that make a game competitive, especially in an RTS. It could be argued that almost every unit loses their effectiveness with lag, with some small exceptions like a massive horde of raged Swordwrath, or an army of Speartons.

No, with a horde of infantries you also need micro, but with tanky ranged units like order giants are the one who needs almost no micro at all
People like using them because of that, also, lag don't affect much on giant's micro, so they can have a higher chance to win a match

And truly there are a few games that it is too laggy for me that my archers cannot function well, resulting a lost

If kiting is removes, then chaos would be OP and 2 swordwrath> a archer

Easy way to kill kiters - Move your Ninja up and down the terrain. This is hard and tedious work, for a very skilled person, but if you do it correctly basically ninja's can't be hit at all by projectiles. Hope this was helpful. :D

But we're talking about early game, when you don't have ninjas.
