Army Formation

[cptheslayer 2]

Army formation is very crucial in every battle. Good army with bad formation will give you disadvantages and perhaps cause you to lose the battle that you are supposed to win.

I almost always have a formation of army when defending or attacking. Never rush like crazy, patience is virtue. If you know what your enemy has, there is no need to rush in like strayed dogs.

My army formatoin will be discussed later next week after I finish my final examz.

It would be good if there was formation options in game, but then again it would reduce the need for you to organize the units yourself, which is a big part of playing br effectively.

How about my army's formation?

It is obvious that good player have good army formation. I still need good formation against lotus so they can't SC all of my armies. xD

When killing a line of snipers, would you kill it horizontal or vertically?

[{HeRo}GeneralDS 4]

hmm my formations vary with the units i use, id always place ranged units behind my front line melee fighters...

when i faced the computer one time on one of my new maps, i placed a line of guardians with last stand in front then placed a ton of fire arrow archers along with arah behind them...smashed the computer before they could train enough counter units...plus their defense force got decimated...

@ ben: i would suggest sending two waves of weak melee units spaced far apart to make them waste SC then kill the drained warlocks with whatever units u choose, i would probably try and hit sniper lines from an angle that would only allow one or two snipers to hit u to minimize unit losses but maximize enemy sniper losses...with the weak melee units just send enough to make the enemy waste an SC charge then send more to waste more then send in ur best warlock killing units to stop them before they can SC again, i dont know how well it will work but just give it a try

Also, avoid make your sniper form a clump, so they cant mug them all in a single.

Ben has a new picture lol xD

is that spam?

sorry

Kanjeng that was funny i agree wtih you

[{HeRo}GeneralDS 4]

yeah try to space out snipers so they have to waste more mugs to nab ur sniper scopes, altho its a very common formation mistake among some people to place snipers in a clump, i sometimes make that mistake and end up losing about 5-13 sniper scopes, and with other clans i tend to lose important battlegear(with wolf i tend to lose a ton of shale armors due to mug, lotus havent experienced much mugging other than losing DS and DC, Dragon i tend to lose Fire Arrows in countless quantities usually experienced against AI serpent with high Battlegear usage...

yea, but im [LOT]stroke now

[Aphte 1]

i dont make a formation i just send all my units when i need to attack

[Sinophile 41]

Thats not a good idea... It's always a good idea to order your units, even by a little bit. I find that spreading your units far apart makes it harder to be surrounded, enemy units need to move more to attack one after another unit and etc.

mashimaro!!

i do have a formation in any clan exept serpent i just send a army with crossbowm and swordm and necro sometimes bodo and musketers with their bg (the one which is not sniper scope) and i ussally win.

in dragon clan i ussally plan vs lotus (AI) and i make about 3 kabukis, 3 dragons about 6 gardian with their bg (not last stand) and sometimes battle maidens, teppo and tao. i use my dragon spirit I send my dragons to attack the leftovers of the woriors who hit only melee (e.g. infested, blade arycle) then i use the kabukis star dust on about 6 warlock and they go to attack my gardians i use their bg if i have a friend i use the battle sighn and they help me to destroy them.

if i dont have a friend i summon all heroes i can and send them to help i destroy their buldings with dragons flame sword and their towers with battle maidens bg

(not the one which makes 2 battle maidens) VICTORY

lotus army against other clans other clan lotus and serpent has a strong formation. This formation is what refferd to clum as mentioned above. If you order ur units to be so close together, then wolf and dragon just sucks when they attacking. Even shaled berskers will get killed fast since it is hard for the wolf player to target healers and kill them first. Goo, ds,dc, dw and not to mention thresher, will kill them fast. Thresher is even more powerful than sc. Thresher is the second powerful force in the game; dragon spirit is the most powerful force. If you have lots of threshers, then threshers are better than dragon spirit since threshers can kill almost anything that is units with strong cutting, piecing, explosive, and even magic resistance. Nad it is hard to kill those mwarlocks since they have good armor; and it is hard to use fire to win a game, so dc can almost be untouchable under dc. serpent can use cannosn to smoke. cannons have high resistance against explsive and magic, but they still die fast when facing many threshers.

On the topic of formation, if you're lotus, a solid formation will make or break you. Serpent and wolf can get away with having less formation control because you usually make a lot of a couple different units. Dragon has to be played just right or you will die so I think formation is important for them.

[IndominusRex 13]

If the player is good, no need to tell them how to form their army, they should be able to know it by their self due to strength and weakness of a certain unit

However, someone made this topic to share our knowledge of unit's formation, which is so COOL

[Moo Moo Cow 1]

personaly, i dont like sharing anything

The army that awaits the enemy to run in will laugh at the enemy's stupidity; this is a death punishment for the leader's stupidity. Don't haste to reach victory or you will fall from heaven.

why not hurry if you hurry you will spend less time at your pc and if you spend less time at your pc your eyes will work better and you have less chances of becoming blind.

[cptheslayer 2]

We are all dying since the day we were born. We are dying slowly. If you hurry to death, then your new birth is just another suffering; death is just the beginning of suffering. Some of us decide to start their new cycle of suffering sooner than the others; we all should not deny our fates which are the mediums for suffering to exist.

o.O ok i am getting too much philosophy into my head.....(brain begins a nuclear meltdown sequence, 10 minutes until armageddon)...hmm if i use lotus i try to have my staffs with DC intermingled with the other units...and also have DS near the DC and then have an unclean or two toss DS into the enemy army so the enemy gets damaged trying to get to me then when they try to get my DC the other DS will aid the enemy death...i also try to get soul thresher to inflict major harm to enemy units and buildings...

[cptheslayer 2]

think about the other side of your force.
