STRATEGY #1:
In Start-game:

Build:

• SwordsWrath (Hotkey 2)
  
• Build Archidon (Hotkey 3)
  

Set Miners:

• One to Gold Mine
  
• One to Mana
  

Notice you are left with 75 gold.

Make sure you immediately conquer tower spawn. If enemy does not come, raid unless castle archer has been built.

In Mid-game:

1. You will have a spare of 75 gold. Buy another Miner ASAP and once the other miner has collected 50 MP set it on gold
   
2. Set the newly created miner on mana
   
3. Buy more miners
   
4. At about 5-7 depending on enemy attack status build a Spearton. (Note: Before this point make sure at least your Archer stays alive [Strafe strategy works best] At low health always retreat swordwrath)
   
5. Get to 10 miners and get 3 on mana
   
6. Spam Speartons
   
7. Go attack enemy statue (If you have 12 speartons+ and their army is not effective go directly to destroy statue)

^A counter to this will be Shield Bash(6)--Archer(3-5)--Flying Crossbowmen (2-3)

If you're going to start Sword/Archer then you're going to want to follow up with another sword. The start is an aggressive one and it's not tailored very well to this kind of "sit and wait" strat.

I believe that swordwrath is used just for a little tank power but yes, you can back it up with more. It'll just slow the process a little more than usual ;)
But sometimes you dont need it xD

The only time you wouldn't need it is if your opponent didn't send up any archers. If that's the case he either has no defense or has decided to start with a CA turtle. In which case, he's likely already lost because that is literally the worst start.

Heheh True, but this is semi early spearton strat for those who are not willing to risk first troop spearton strat

You can very easily lead into an early spear from Archer/Miner or AMSA. Not so easily from Sword/Archer though cause it's a lot more of an all-in strat.

An early spear in general is countered easily by multiple swords, but it's great to you see try to develop and refine strategies as you get better at SE.

Listen to Rain's advice as well.

The AMSA strat is overpowered by the ASMSS... Strategy, which is why I chose this strategy

not necessarily overpowered by archer sword. You just need to micro well and they end up about equal. One isnt that much stronger than the other.

Also, do you play realm of the mad god? it looks like you do from your avatar.

I think keeping the second miner on mana then instead of putting the 3rd miner on mana put him on gold, less idle miner time.
