nice discussion about dragon. anyone wants me knowledge of br? if not, please do not read the rest of this post.

Wolfbite is an expert br player; i support Wolfbite. if you ask me, then i say the best build for Dragon against Serpent is Archers and tower followed by healer or horses depending on what the Serpent builds. But archers will handle musk or cannons or swords just fine. Play online against good players and you will find that Archers is the best defense or offense that Dragon has in early game. However, everything depends on your micro.

I say that Tealkjk(watever ur name is) is ok player, but your strats will bring you only death. Chemist and horses? what the hell is this? swords will crush your chemists b4 you can even get horses or swords will steal ur horses while your chemist try to get mounted. mellee units tend to get mounted better than range since range often shoot. Talking about spears, musk alone will kill spears while serpent can easily upgrade to cannons; no need snipers. it take quit abit to get whirl, by that time, cannons will crush whirl or kabukies.

The only way i play against Serpent is that I build my first hut relatively close to both water and rice. Followed by Target Range. While building my first hut, I use shift+alt to build Target Range and I set hut rally point to rice( or to scout). Doing it this way will save you a second or two. Oh i also am chatting after setting up my first build; it seems I can do so much in the first few seconds. After my first peasant generated from the first hut, i reset my hut to rice. I don set it to water cuz Dragon needs rice for tower and it has enough water to train a few archers. Quickly, i select my first generated peasant and number it, so it would be easy and fast to look at my enemy's base by pressing the assinged number twice. As my scout is running to the enemy's base, i use shift+alt to order my first two peasants to get rice(this will command my first two peasants to go get rice once they finish building the Target Range). Then I keep my eyes on my enemy with my scout and cause some chaos in the enemy's field. Also, I look at my total number of peasants; my enemy should have about the same number of peasants. If i see my opponent has a a few less than my peasants, then i know there is something up, perhaps base rush or horse steal or something else. If my opponent has about the same, then i look at how many peasants are put to rice or water and what he or she is building. Then i play accordingly. If my opponent build one tavern, then I just need to build a Tower, and train a few archers first and put moer peasants on rice and water to get horses. If he or she builds 2 taverns, then i train more archers and get my peasants ready to support my archers. If he or she build 2 chemists huts, then I do the same as he or she with two taverns. I always do the same against most of Serpnt plays. But if serpent build cannons and try to get smoke, then I try to get healers on horses. Of course snipers and smoke will give dragon a bit of headache; but if you keep your units safe near tower and turtle till you get enough resources for better build, serpent is doomed.

So my advice is that getting horses early in the game can be your advantage and it can be your disadvantage; do not get horses if you do not have enough time to build defense for a rush. Get horses whenever you safely can. And always keep your eyes on your enemy. Of course chemists on horses can be good against swords, but will you safely be able to get horses and enough chemists to defend? will you have enough time and resources to build Target Range for archers against cannons if you build chemist and kabukie first? of course Serpent can build cannons swords musk crossbowman relatively fast. So If you plan to start by building chemists first, then you are in great danger. If you start with spears, then you are near death. Take my advice, start with archers and a tower then followed by either healers or horses and start building up or go kill if you think the time is right for attack. Always study your enemy's base to look for weakness spots that helps your attack. So Archers is best in early game since it can handle all of serpent's units in early game. However, this does not mean that Serpent cannot beat Dragon. I often use swords alone to kill my own dragon strats mentioned above. And if I cannot succeed in rushing with my swords(80% works), I kill Dragon in mid game really fast(90%). If i fail, then I will try to kill it in late game which is a bit harder(30%). But there is something about Dragon that the Serpent can take advantages of and that is why Dragon should fear Serpent. I will not discuss this advantage play of serpent in this Dragon talk. you need to go onlnie and play me to see what I can do to both serpent and dragon. Of course I always seek new fun ways of playing; however please do not think or say that I cheat because I get double of your resources or build and train way faster than you do. Many new players think I cheat. But I do not get upset because it seems impossible for them to play like good players. At least I have baxter and Ben that do not think I cheat even though I get more resources than they do, but not all the time, sometimes they get more and builds faster than I do if they are at advantage.

One more thing, build your buildings with strong defensive structure will help support your play. If you put a tower in wrong place and Target Range where your enemy can easily hit it, then no matter what you build, you will be at disadvantage and you will lose most of the time.
