In a reacent game I played a player pretty much destroyed me with early ninjas he harassed me so much at the end he had a army of shadows and me pretty much nothing so i surrendered right before he killed me. I watched the replay and the next match tried it. During that game the new guy just rushed me before I could get enough units to repelle him. In my other match the guy just cloaked on of his shadows killed my speartons harassed my miners and left before I could kill one and when I got albows he slaughterd them with his mage. I was wondering if anyone had any tips to help me succeed with this strategy and shalbow witch I attempted in a different game and failed. PS I'm only in 1300

Generally, I think there are a few units which when massed are fairly tough to beat with conventional armies (giants, ninjas) so you have to try to prevent them from building those units by trying to hold the center and making small attacks on their miners to slow down their unit production while you continue to make more miners and units.

Ok thanks
