This was another great post by blo0d angel.

Controlling the battle! This is the most important factor to winning. It is when battles become slugging matches that your units die. If I find myself with BG spent and health getting low I will retreat to regroup. About 90% of my games end with me getting over 70 kills and under 10 deaths. When you truly control the battle you should loose almost no units. This is accomplished like this:

Defense:

Keep your army far behind your tower (You only truly need one tower if you have a good army). Put a stardust or 2 infront of your tower incase he tries to burn it down with raiders or pitch before he attacks. When he attacks stardust him and charge your army from behind your tower. The second your army is about to engage activate stun. While he is stunned you should hit him with your super kegs and trample him with any horses. You will kill most of his army with that whirlwind of destruction and the rest will be greatly outnumbered and should be wrapped up easily. Don't counter attack right away. Take some time to heal and recharge any BG then take some fire arrows or ID pks and take out all of his towers. Once his towers are down go attack. You can just let your troops run amok among his base and you will probably win but since I like loosing few units I have my melle hold ground just outside of his base and burn things down with fire arrows to keep things under control.

Offense

1: Do NOT! attack when the enemy has a tower up. If you attack where they have a tower they will have control of the battle because of tower charges and because they basically own that territory. Always take towers down first with fire arrow or indirect fire. You can still win with a tower up but you will loose many more units and he has a much better chance of winning. I like to put up offensive towers so I can see well and so I have a fallback position. Once the offensive tower is up put your melle behind it. Set up a few pks with ID fire and start taking out his towers and targeting explosive weak units. He pretty much has to attack so when he does stun stardust and kill. Just like in the defense thread above.

I hope this helps. When you see what happens when you do this right you will laugh. I have killed equal sized armies in like 3 seconds with no casualties.
