Once you have 1300 coin, buy the Flailer units. When you can charge, charge with the halberdiers. Don't worry about other units in other lanes the gains will catch up with the losses. Naturally, the CPU will follow up by sending units down the same path. In normal battle, just hold down the space bar with the halberd units selected, which sends a line of halberdiers down the same lane. Of course, if you enter a battle with the OotS or the MotW and they DON'T have axe throwers or javelins, then by all means, fight them they won't be as hard. On the map, avoid the Orcs of the South and the Men of the West for a bit they're hard because of their axe throwers and javelins. They have a massive halberd bonus with only their archery to lose, which for this strategy is unimportant.Īt the beginning of the game, buy the halberd units. Naturally, the best race to choose for quick gaming is the undead. K.C.If you're one of those people who just want to beat the game so you can fight with the demons, keep reading. Savign your carge and using it on the flailers would always give me a masive lead, as nothing could stand aginst them backed with a few spear men to take out archers and mages. 3-4 will be able to swarm kill and mont or uber, with only 1-2 losses against the ubers(LOTS of damage, so quick kills).
A +3 Halbred with +1-2armor is a even match for any any sword and will easly over power a spear with out stoping. I beat the eniter map with out a singe beat and they were all landslides except 1 demon map. I belive my buying order was: Halberd(starts with +3 for undead) 1 point in armor Flailer(Undead Uber) 1 point in speed With the money I saved up: 3 points in spearmen, 2 more points in armor and 1 in speed all in one go.
I would take the curretnly highest rated territory each time, excpet I saved the demons untill all the other unconqured regions were low numbers(<20%). After that, I got more armor and speed, as well as a few points in spear men so they could take out the ranged enenies quickly. Since you make more money per kill, and not by how quikly you win(I personally think there should of been a time bonus for alternate stratagies), this is a great stratagy, as you can get your uber quickly. It starts at +3 and they start at 40 damage, so that means 55 damage per unit from the git go. I chose Undead and spent my first 500 on thier strong unit. After the demons, just do the territories from hardest to easiest, shouldn't be hard at all. Switch back to swords after trolls are done with their charge.Ħ.
Feel free to spearman spam halfway through the troll charge if you wish during the troll charges: the trolls tank and kill everything.
Go ahead and do the demons now: should be easy with troll charges.
ONLY use giant trolls for charges: never make them as a single unit.ĥ.Use your gold to upgrade swords/armor/speed. Charge with swords/mages doesn't really matter.Ĥ.Go ahead and do some of the harder territories now (i did the demons, but it took me some tries, so i would suggest saving till you have giant trolls before going after those), until you have 3200 gold, then buy giant trolls. I generally go 5 swords, then 1 mage, then mass swords till i have to replace a mage. The mage really helps, so be sure to get one and replace it when it finishes/dies. Any race that has a decent uber unit and doesn't have - points in swordsmenship will work.Ģ.Start by taking some easy territories until you have 800 gold, then go ahead and buy your mage.ģ.Now, my general strategy was to basically spam swordsmen in the middle lane, with sword charges and a single mage behind them supporting them. I personally picked trolls for the uber unit, and though others despise trolls, i like them, and suggest that you do the same.
