WyzDM, if you're playing OvE, you should realise a treature start gets pwned by Order spamming swords -> harass their eco, and a huge mass obliterates a treature in seconds.

Mass earths on the other hand is different...

You can't run anything past the tree, because if the E's player is doing it right, he's leaving 1 on mana. If you try to run anything past, the tree is gonna root and just stick scorps on you. You'll waste your army trying to do that. It'll just take a swift miner garrison and your swords will each scorpions. Not to mention the fact you're able to get a second tree by the 2:05 mark, and this pretty much closes it off.

Again, this is for certain on castle-desert maps, but I've seen this play work on med maps as well. Yes, swords will eventually take care of business, but that involves the e's player to be really slow. Also, swords pretty much take care of anything with es. It's rather silly.

Okay, so suggestions for balancing treature rush to make other strategies slightly more viable (relatively)?
Make scorpions cost mana to spawn and/or make treatures higher mana cost to prevent rushes?

What about 1 fire elemental start but you have to know how to kite does any one know the controls for kiting because i can never master it!

The opponent will just back off and overwhelm you a bit later, forcing you to go into your statue on short maps.

Funny how the point of this thread was to discuss elemental strategies, but instead it ended up about how to counter elemental strategies, this just shows how OP elemental is.

More likely shows how few people have Elementals in regard to the forum community right now.
