This is my new strategy featuring the almighty Allbowtross. This is especially useful against Swordwrath rushers and enemies who only use melee units.

Start
Focus: Defense

1. Tell the two Miners to mine. Train a Miner and a Castle Archer.
2. Tell the new Miner to pray.
3. Train a Swordwrath. Tell him to capture the Center Tower.
(Make sure you use the Hold command to prevent him from charging without permission.)
4. Tell your Swordwrath to scout for enemy units.
5. Train another Miner and tell him to mine.
6. Get Miner Hustle.

Early Game (03:00)
Focus: Stable Income
1. Train your first Allbowtross. If you still have the Center Tower, tell him to go there.
2. Get the Blazing Bolts upgrade.
(Make sure you get the unit first because an upgrade without a unit is useless, and also an unupgraded Allbowtross can still do damage.)
3. Train a Meric and tell her to stand behind the Allbowtross.
(Make sure you use the Hold command. Merics tend to walk a few steps after each heal. Hold prevents them from straying into enemy territory.)
4. Train two Miners. Tell one to mine and the other to pray. This will increase your income.
5. Get another Allbowtross or Tower Spawn, depending on the situation.

Mid-Game (08:00)
Focus: Army
1. Get Shield Wall and/or Shield Bash abilities.
2. Keep training Allbowtrosses until you get four.
3. Keep training Speartons until you get at least two.
(If the enemy is Favoured or has Giants, train until you have four or six.)

Late Game (12:30)
Focus: Attack
1. Take out their ranged units first.
(If the enemy uses Speartons to tank damage, fly over them and target the ranged units.)
2. Take out their melee units.
3. Use Speartons to tank damage from Castle Archers (if any) and destroy the statue.
(Optional: Press ENTER and type gg.)

I have won quite a few battles with this. It only works against Order. Chaos has Deads which are harder to kill, Medusa who is dangerous as heck and Bombers which make scouting during early game almost useless.

"1. Tell the two Miners to mine. Train a Miner and a Castle Archer."

No, this is inefficient for economy. At the very least if you're gonna do this, do MM -> CA (so 4 miners before CA), or 5 miners.
Don't pray. Inefficient to pray before 7~.

"3. Train a Swordwrath. Tell him to capture the Center Tower."

Why not do this as a START? MMS, then if they have an army, go for a CA!

"5. Train another Miner and tell him to mine."

Good, but no miner hustle. It's useless before 9 miners.

I will stop there. Fixing your early game will improve your mid and late game.

P.s. GG is not optional :)

I will try to continue for you.

3. Train a Swordwrath. Tell him to capture the Center Tower.
(Make sure you use the Hold command to prevent him from charging without permission.)

After making 3 miners and finally popping a sword out, it is extremely unlikely that your one sword will cap tower at ~1+ min mark, your opponent should have something there to prevent you from doing so.

(If the enemy is Favoured or has Giants, train until you have four or six.)

If the enemy is favored you are better off not using this strategy anyways :P

P.s. GG is not optional :)

It's the right thing to do, but not before your opponent. If you say gg and you are the one winning you sound rude, wait till losing opponent says it :P

If opponent has a spellcaster of any kind, including medusas etc, you should probably be thinking about getting shinobi 2 and a shadowrath to take him/her out.


If you really want to opt for this strategy I would consider (as DAZ said above) working on your early game. Miner Miner Sword -> CA (if they pressure you with sword archer), if not try Miner Miner Sword Archer.

(I'm not the turtle king correct me if I am wrong)

The albowtross strategy is easy to counter, no matter what empire you are. Order Empire Strategy is the title of the thread, meaning post your strategies here. We don't need to develop a new strategy to counter this, just standard archer spam.
