eggna 2 #1 Posted December 13, 2005 Well this strategy I've used a dozen times and when I was an amateur I thought it would work really good. This is how I use it. Also this right here takes some time and patience so you'll need to have some backup incase of attacks. Also this will be noobish to some. I basically get a Necro and you know it takes awhile to summon him. Well I start building up a ronin army and I give them each blood bond I don't recommend over 6 ronins or else it will overwhelm the Mancer. So I connect about 6 Ronins to my Necro and have about 4 Geisha stand around him. Anyways this is just a great way to eliminate a normal sized army. NOT guaranteed to work against Lotus. This is best to eliminate pansy dragons, some serpents and alot of the time it works great agains't wolf. Remember to keep a reasonable check on the Necro, the gay geisha don't do their job alot of the time and let him die, be sure to look back alot and not make the mistake. Keep in mind the Blood Bond doesn't always absorb 100% of damage so be careful. As you eliminate your opponents army with your ronins and whats left of them if theres something left of them quickly gather some raiders and torch their village from above with alot of melle and piercing weapons. many of you will disagree and say this strategy isn't that good but, oh well. Works for me, im old school and I don't do pansy cheap magic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{Dark}WolfBite 2 #2 Posted December 13, 2005 On the contrary dove, that strategy is logically superior to normal strategies. Yea, there was a time when I figured this strategy out. Unfortunately my opponent was Lotus and he had 4 towers built in a square formation. As my army entered the city, my opponent quickly taking advantage of my weak micro(at the time) and use the lightning of tower to overcome the bloodbond and thus quickly killing my army. Meanwhile he sent masterwarlocks to obliterate my city. This strategy is good and like you said bloodbond(BB) on necromancer has advantages, but why not make about 5 cannoneers and put 2-3 BB's on them too. It worked great at the time, and this way the necromancer was free to attack with the ronins. Heres some trivia for the BR fans: Which unit can overcome the other with any battlegear. Ronin or Samurai? For answer scroll down ------> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Samurai with yangblade becomes more powerful. And even more effective if there are a number of samurais; because of their effect after death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggna 2 #3 Posted December 14, 2005 I agree Wolf. I mean you got way more expierence and I just try whats logical. Today 1nsane tried the Blood Bond It was horrible for him, he basically bonded with MY musks... Ya, I just got musks and a Necro. It was a long game, I don't try that strategy no more since of all the new stuff. Anything I could do would be devoured by lotus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{Dark}WolfBite 2 #4 Posted December 14, 2005 Yep, because not many players play melee combat, only ranged. Which usually turns out to be the weakness of the ronin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But one of the abttle packs seem to have fixed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{Dark}WolfBite 2 #6 Posted December 14, 2005 Battle packs are only meant to make balance in the game. So I'm guessing it was a bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can do it in the demo too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggna 2 #13 Posted December 14, 2005 When you say DC is cheap and now you want to randomly destroy opponents buildings. 69[/snapback] I was merily joking Wolf. Yes I say dc is cheap but its a part of the lotus which as I said it is bound to be used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggna 2 #15 Posted December 14, 2005 Im not sure but he messed up on words. Koril usually only destroys our peasents and transports back. I've seen him take of about 15% of hut but no more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{Dark}WolfBite 2 #16 Posted December 14, 2005 yeah that sounds more logical. Anyways Koril can be stopped. Koril, if on your own team is very effective too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

{Dark}poolshark 0 #21 Posted December 14, 2005 why is everyone calling dragon clan pansys.. I mean, sure they are pretty weak.. But come on.. They have like the best battle gear.. You could attack with cans.. and BOOM! Stardust and ur screwed... .-. give them credit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggna 2 #22 Posted December 14, 2005 smilie face posts allowed??? I know you are the admin, but that is too short of post. 164[/snapback] Not allowed. Hes an admin and a weird one too. No spams like that should be made by memmber. Yes too many people call them pansys shark but I disagree. They are a clan like all the others and are strong, could destroy wolf and serpent easy maybe even lotus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{Dark}poolshark 0 #23 Posted December 15, 2005 Dargon could run through any clan. Lol, stardust their warlocks, stun spear their dc, when stunned, spirit. BAM. Pwnd. And samurai are the best melee unit.. So they can beat an army of berz. Show some respect for the dragon clan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggna 2 #24 Posted December 15, 2005 Samurai are the weakest of all the LV4's, they can defeat the weak links but not something as strong as a berseker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{Dark}WolfBite 2 #25 Posted December 15, 2005 You guys are ignorant and inexperienced, Dragon is definately not weak; even without battlegears. And samurai isn't the weakest of the Lv. 4's. You guys really need to play against skilled dragon players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
