Siege mode Finally beat the Siege mode. Can't believe it took me this long to figure it out, but once you've done it, it seems so easy. Now I can try different combination/sequence to see what works better. The #1 guy in GC only took 23 secs. Doesn't seem legit. It took longer than that just to save enough gold to buy some standard bearers.
Those goblins that throw bombs at ur gold mines are on my top 10 list of most annoying video game enemies
Meh versus is so broken. Average win time as good is 24 seconds. That's how long it takes to shoot the tree, then the hero, often without moving from the fort (Using the very Imba archer). This is also achievable by all classes, just a little slower. There is absolutely nothing the evil player can do, -nothing- at all except watch the tree die then get knockdown, snare and stun then death. There is no counter to that. I suggest making the tree invulnerable for the first 2 minutes of the game or something similar. Some form of challenge would be nice. This would also put most of the initial moments more on the units and strategy as opposed to rush, win, restart.
Its proportional to the range. I only play evil (everyone likes to go good )... and I've fought quite a few of the top 25 guys (I'm right at around 27 so far, 19 wins/3 losses... 2 of those losses shouldn't have happened ). Its pretty easy to beat the bum rushing Paladins and Knights, I'm telling you... just stomped a level 80 Paladin again. I would be more than happy to match up with someone who is so sure its imbal, perhaps tomorrow. I just find it funny... I've heard people now say that evil is ridiculously imbal, and good is ridiculously imbal I fully expect the balance to be like that while people are still learning how to play Evil. There's a LOT of new content that Evil has to learn, with new active abilities, new passive abilities, etc. vs Knight rush: Build 1-2 cultists. Get Goblin Mushroom (active). Get Swordsman (passive - double damage). Start building skeletons like normal. Once he's at the tree, either he attacks the tree and you can get such a significant edge up on him beating on his back that you can kill him once your tree is dead, or he attacks you, where you will out heal him while dealing heavy damage, forcing a retreat. vs Paladin rush: Similar as Knight, except get Ancient Armor, which makes you immune to knockdown, while giving you a huge armor bonus. By the time the effect wears off, you should have easily outdamaged him, making him think twice about continuing the attack.
Its probably preferance but what hero think is the best for beginners? But he also has invuln shield and heal.
Thanks for the tips. I would love a game with you. The only thing is I know I'm going get raped. I can see the potential the evil side has and I think if someone puts a week or two into siege mode, he can do very well in versus.
Yes there is... just don't worry about it so much. Let him beat on your tree with the invulnerability on. Try to lure him to attack you if you can, if he doesn't no sweat. Keep building like normal. Build up your cultists and keep a steady stream of units coming at his base. the 20 seconds is shorter than you think... it would take a REALLY high level Paladin with a lot of points in damage to be able to down your tree in that time. And then all you have to do is stay alive for 60 second until your tree is back up... vs Paladin if you're worried about shield... here's another counter. Go Goblin Shaman, get Spider Web and venom and goblin mushroom. venom pierces armor, spider web slows him, and goblin mushroom allows you to do some major damage. Shaman has a nice amount of speed and run as well, so its easier to avoid him if he happens to kill your tree (also in combination with spider webs slow). Main thing is not to panic if your tree dies... keep playing. Keep building cultists and units. Attack his walls. etc. Just don't engage him directly at that point
1) sorry if this has been asked, but is it handicapped in versus mode? if i have a lvl 10 pally, will it scale to his lvl 35 warrior? i would assume even if it were scaled the main issues would be with powerups and traits? 2) in coop mode, is it always the same hardness no matter who my partner is? even if we are both lvl 10 we still fight mobs as if we joined in at lvl 30? thanks.
what's everyone's favorite goto units to do damage? will most of you not even put out pikemen without blacksmith + captain? or will you just go to giant and elite units. i'm more curious as to what three buildings most of you are using towards the end game.'' i don't even bother with any peons + upgrades. once someone told me on the forums they were a waste so i pretty much stopped using them and never lookoed back.
He said he spanked two level 80 paladin's. I'm sure those paladins used invulnerability on him. The evil side has so many things it can do its going to be interesting to see what can be done. @FM Do you feel the balance is even in versus?
I think I found a bug. When a unit gets into my castle as a Eng, I cannot seem to target him. Has happened a couple of times. Great game though, been having a blast playing it. The update was great and now I can play multiplayer, could not start a game before. Look forward to wasting many hours on this game
You fight with a different set of evil heroes that becomes the same level as the enemy hero. It's the same difficulty all the time.
Thanks for your quick response, but iv'e complained about the paladin being a very big paladin fan! And whenever I am good I take my lvl 55 paladin with 20s invulnerability (with lots of points in damage) and kill their tree, and the lvl 55 paladin has more than enough speed to outlast the enemy and when i reach them i knock them til their against a wall and slaughter them (most people "disconnect" before their sorry demise) The whole time they have units hacking at the wall but they wont break through because repairs are all i spend my money on during that time. Iv'e since stopped doing this because its cheap. I like the spider/venom/armor combo, if an enemy goes engineer or ranger, i charge them and knock them against a wall like i do with my paladin. But iv'e tried that and many things against the and knight and it doesn't work (for me) I like to see how you beat paladins, as a learning experience...
To do damage pikemen. But late game all around- giants maybe the tree man but haven't used it in the later levels.
thanks. another question, so i'm basically buying blacksmith, captains tent, and possibly dwarven hut every single round. 1) for the longest time i thought ENGINEER was a dwarf and he benefited from the dwaven hut but he doesn't. so doesn't the special unit for the engineer even though he looks like a dwarf. another issue i had with dwarven hut is that it only HELPs rifles and BUSTERERS. repairmen don't throw bombs.
