Serpent Units

something also fun to play with and gives you extra resources is bandits plus, if you get 4 yin then their poison owns but it takes awhile to get that far

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

Yea, There must be a strategy with bandits that we haven't discovered yet.

Ever tried laying 10 invisible bandits in front of 15 musks with sniper scope. Now THATS a good trick. Mind you, only works the first time round.

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

Hmmm...and what about having 5 other bandits have paralyze darts.

[Jdeks 0]

Yep, that sounds good too.

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

This may sounds weird but I think the best way to get rid of snipers is to make cannoneers with mines! let me show you why.

1) Send in 3-4 mugg, and get rid of snipes on the snipers.

2) Send in cannoneers and lay mines in the middle of their army.

3) Have some geisha healing your cannons.(won't be necessary because cannons are resistant to musketeers)

I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks good.

Ive actualy used a different mine tactic do get rid of musks with snipe.

1/ Get canoneers with mines and musks with scope.

2/ attack enemy musks with your musks, and ensure you have several geisha to support.

3/ Lay mines around your own musks.

4/Retreat slowly. Hopefully, you enemy walk right onto the mines.

Only problem is having enogh geisha to keep you musks alive whilst you lay mines and retreat. Ive used this once, but it was against mass arsher. Works superbly the first time, but he would neve folow my retreats afterwards.

well i really like nekro too but i love the swordsman and the musket but you i now i like to abuse a bit i have allways like the smoke my cannonears lol ..

[[LOT]rundown 3]

usually the smoke only effects me when I can't see the other units but when I can, I just use some micro and destroy the cannoneers

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

In 1v1, I always make some swords with my snipes, to counter the smoke bombs. Ofcourse fan geisha are included too.

[{Dark}CoolGuy 1]

Yea but when you are playing against abuser they abuse so much that you can evant see anything.

I vote Raider. 2 groups of 3 to 4 Raider(upgraded range) with Caltrops attacking burning your buildings and avoiding combat by running and leaving Caltrops can cripple any army.

Raiders

Pros:

-Fast runner

-Caltrops

-Fire based attacks can destroy buildings

-2nd tier unit = quick to produce

-quick attacks, quicker than a crossbowman who often gets killed by melee units because he takes too much time between shots.

-Annoying as hell

Cons:

-Suck in battles, you don't really need them fighting that's what caltrops are for

-Poor health

-Poor Stamina(can't run like a crossbowman)

Watch out for Ballistaman and Druidess though

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

They have okay stamina, because of their speed. Budo and Kazan are characters with poor stamina.

I know their stamina is OK but it's not excellent like a crossbowman.

Crossbowman run to enemy base attack retreat = no problem

Raiders run to enemy base attack retreat = their going to get masacred because stamina is drained, unless you make them rest before attacking

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

I see, Crossbows can be used for scouting, hmm....

[DDD 0]

Crossbowman is the ultimate scout in BR. Phosporus bolts! It's an almost cheating BG.

Bug about Phosporus bolts - in skirmish or single, use it save quit battle realms, open BR again, reload save. Phosporus bolts no longer lit up affected area but you can still see the bolts and the game counts those bolts as currently used so you can't use it again.... ;

[[LOT]diablo 1]

mines r good..... i ususally send vetkin to drain the musks stamina so they cant run... i use one smoke so they can just stand there..... and send the mines....... it works.... im not promising anything... i got to test it more..... so ill do that

[{Dark}WolfBite 2]

Who says it will be musks, what if they snipes, cannons etc.

[serpenty 1]

Crossbowmans are weak without poison.

Poison cost 4 yin.

I better take armor and weapon upgrade for musketeers.

Crossbowmans can be useful vs wolf in start of game: maulers and dryads simply cannt kill them.

Canoneers have good protect vs musketeers basic atack, but snipes can kill them easily (if they can see them).

well what i used to do when i was a good player.....i like to make bandits .... but before i do make them i make 3 ronin .... get yin blade ... send them out ... get the yin for the poison upgrade ... get 3 more ronin send them out again ... make more yin and get more health

.... then i make only bandits...

[Dragonsoul 3]

I like the Fan Geishas and Ronins. They both work great with each other. Those Geishas and their little metallic fans are cool to look at, and the battle gears Razor Fan and Dark Pact are amazing. Ronins with Blood Bond and Yin Blades could damage enemies big time. Throw in some Cannoneers and Raiders and you got yourself a powerful team.

[Guest [LOT]Phate]

i would only use raiders if the enemy has werewolves

and try using my blood bond- dark pact combo it makes the ronins super resistant to enemy weapons

and adding shinja with that combo will make enemy's attacks cake to ronins

i know........ hey what happened to your little pic and sign?

[Guest [LOT]Phate]

iono i think i grew out of it
