Hello, I am here to teach you how to turtle or camp in Stick Empires!
In Stick Empire, the best place to turtle is against Order vs Order because Order vs chaos you dead medusa or Order vs Elementals V unit and your screwed xD.

I am bored so I am going to teach you the basics of turtling.
Turtling on a short map = fails most of the time, these maps are castle, desert and that is it I believe.

How to open up:
2 Miners & 1 Sword or 3 Miners
The sword is to get the middle, while the miners are for building an economy.
I recommend around 14 miners, 8 for gold veins while 6 is for mana gathering.

You need to rush miner hustle, spearton and meric to survive a turtle and of course the Castle Archer.
The goal of the spearton and meric is to fend of damage from enemies trying to attack early, if you can not get enough mana/gold mass swordwrath with rage they protect from spearton/archer rushing.
Mass Magikill 1~3 then Giants and say gg or if enemy has a crap macro build. Ghost giant just say gg and quit
TEH END my professional strategy.

IDC its better then nothing :P what else to do while queing for a match in Stick Empire xD

No. I won't even bother explaining. Myst! Get over here and correct this. xd

On a serious note, massing swordwrath means you are not making speartons, which is more important in the build. Rage in this situation is just a joke, just kite and they are dead.

Ghost giant does not in fact mean gg, as a couple of merics and maybe a giant compared to his tower spawn giant will serve you well. A magikill or two also prevents them from pressing in too deep.

3 giants may still be a loss, don't look so confident.

Short maps = castle, desert, swamp, gates, halloween, and grass hills (yes I am jking).

Building a wall would be better than spamming swords to prevent a rush. By the time the opponent has a spear, you really should have 1-2 merics and a spear already set up, but depends if the opponent gets early snipes or not.

On short maps you might wanna grab some archers to accompany your build, since you have less space.


Feel free to correct me, I am not the god of turtling.

Don't forget to use Miners to attack 1 enemy at a time with all ferocity! (srsly though, I have replays where I use miners as part of my turtle)
Example 1: www.stickempires.com/play?replay=replay10319163&version=2.29 (Turtling first comes at 7:55, and then gets really funny/hardcore at 9:40, and especially funny at exactly 10:00, and at 12:00.
Example 2: www.stickempires.com/play?replay=replay10363358&version=2.29 (this replays shows how to win against a shinobi spammer)

Cant temember. Both were favored compared to me, so I'm guessing between 1400 and 1500 ranking.

That's why your miner thing works. I doubt it will work against anyone ~2k
