Started playing Stick Empires a little while ago, found it to be a very good game. Simple enough to not have to play all the time to be competant, but difficult enough that you are rewarded for playing awhile, from what I can see. Good micro is key in a close match, but against the players I have been facing recently, just making lots of miners and a castle archer if you need to hold off an early attack lets you win easily by having a much better economy. I have tried Chaos once, but I actually prefer Order. Archidon, spearton, meric is what I have found to be most effective. With a good amount of miners and a passive income upgrade or two, you can juggle between the 3 units and get a good amount of each without wasting resources, and they work very well together, speartons tank, merics heal speartons so they tank longer, and archidons deal lots of damage. When playing Chaos their damage output from deads just didn't feel as strong even with poison, and they don't really fit my playstyle with the early pressure that they can put on. I prefer getting lots of workers and waiting until I have a good-sized army to move out.
