Another wicked post by blo0d
angel. Keep 'em coming.
I have compiled here a general guide
to different armies you should use vs different
clans. I hope this helps your late game. This is
assuming a population limit of 30 people. The total
size of your army should be about equal to your
opponents so adjust the numbers accordingly. What
I mean by the numbers given is that when you have
that array of troops in atleast those numbers you
are ready to attack and expect victory. If you do
not have those troops with those battle gear yet
do not attack unless of course he just got himself
smashed at your base and you have pks to take out
his towers. The combination of battle gear and units
is what works.
>>Serpent
Clan
1. This army will work well
vs any serpent army but it is not optimal for any:
4-6 Samurai.
2-4 Kabuki with Stardust.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Indirect Fire.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.
1 Archer with Zen arrow.
You should have one archer tower
with your super keg pks at the side with their battle
gear turned off. Behind the tower you should have
your pks with indirect fire and your main army.
Scout with zen arrows and target his explosive weak
units with your indirect fire pks. If he charges
tell them to hold ground and just let them shoot.
When he gets close charge with your main force while
stardusting his ranged units a few times. Before
he gets to attack your tower or pks stun him and
hit him with your super kegs. Target any muskets
bandits or swords with your kabuki and your sams
at any cannons or geisha. I have used this many
times loosing no units at all.
2.You should tweak the numbers
of the various units depending on what your opponent
is focusing on. For example if he favors musks ronin
or bandits use more kabuki. If he favors cannons
or geisha then use more samuri.
>>Lotus
Clan
1. Lots of warlocks and\or
unclean supported by dark canopy and various other
troops.
6-8 Dragon Warriors with Chi Shield.
1-2 Kabuki with Stardust.
5-8 Archers with Fire Arrow.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.
Have your geisha gaurd your archers
and just keep skirmishing the enemy. If he has troops
infront of his towers fire of a volley then run
if he doesn't then turn of fire arrows and do the
same thing to his towers. Eventually he will have
no choice to attack or have his whole army picked
to pieces. When he does attack wait till your tower
starts shooting at his troops then run at him with
dws infront and stardust his ranged troops. Now
that his ranged units can't fire run in and kill
the staff adept and any melle support he has. If
a dw gets hurt badly turn on chi shield to give
the geisha time to come heal. Once dark canopy is
down run in your pks and super keg wherever he has
the most units. You should wrap up really easily
with this if properly microed.
2. Mass rebirth infested
with dark canopy and channelers.
6-8 Samurai with Yang Blade. [Yang
Blade is optional and is not key to winning.]
6-8 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.
Just run in with your samurai and
target the brother who is giving rebirth to the
infested. After they are in the thick of battle
run in and target all your super kegs at once at
the biggest clump of invested. The lotus's entire
army should be clumped around your samuri trying
to stop the brother from dying so your pks should
kill the brother the channelers and make ALL the
infested die and be reborn. After that your samuri
and pks can just wrap things up easily. This strat
will work against any lotus army that is mostly
melle. If he decided to throw in a few ranged units
do the obvious thing and throw in some stardust
kabuki to save your samuri from a slaughter.
>>Wolf
Clan
1. Doesn't matter what he
uses this army should work against them all.
6-8 Mounted Samurai
1-2 Stardust Kabuki.
6-8 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
3 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Indirect Fire.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.
Use the indirect fire on any towers
because the wolf ballista tower is a real bitch
to fight under. When you attack run in your kabuki
and stardust his druidess ballista and pitch then
run in your mounted samuri with the geisha gaurding
them and trample untill your horses are out of stamina.
While you are trampling activate super keg and run
in your pks. Target any clumps of druidess or pitch.
The trample should deal with any berserkers pitch
or druidess and any that aren't killed will get
massacred by the super kegs. Anything that doesn't
die will be easily wrapped up by your samuri.
>>Dragon
Clan
1. This army should do well
against any dragon army.
2-4 Samurai
2-4 Kabuki with Flash and Stardust.
3-5 Spearmen with Whirling Spear.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
3 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Indirect Fire.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.
Indirect fire his towers then run
in and super keg his army. Any weak units such as
spearmen kabuki or archers should just drop dead
on the spot. The second your pks fire run in with
your main army and whirl with your spears and stardust
his ranged. The whirl will gib any kabuki spearmen
or samurai and your samuri will slaughter any surviving
dragon warriors or chemists which are the ONLY units
that could have survived both the super kegs and
the whirling spear.
