The general's compendium - we make strats for you.

VT2, could you please comment on the viability of a DE/Merchant А/М hybrid? Thanks!

P.S. A build strat suggestion would be welcomed as well.

It's very viable, but you need to provide a good reason for why you're not tagging dark elf with warrior or mystic, since you're actually going for A/M.

Just remember that chocolate elf gets owned at higher acres, because lack of turtling hurts more the bigger you are.

Warrior is not an option because I'm not all that active. RL gets higher priority and returning armies often wait for me to send them back. Mystic has only the MS bonus - which I don't want cause NM(thus the associated mana consumption) is the primary reason to choose DE in the first place - and if I can(which I think I could) make WPA without the bonus then Mystic loses it's value altogether.

So Merchant became the next best thing...

Good enough to me.

Same build as all other A/M's, really - with the obvious exception of towers.
Use the saved space to run more of the buildings you'll actually use; hospitals, training grounds, and so on.
If you're not planning to hit more than every 12th hour in war, you'll have even more land to play with.

Dear Vt2, i am a great fan of you. I read only the topics with your contributions and like how u treat the noobs like vines out there. I never wrote in these forums but now I do as I am trying a new race/personality combo after ~15 ages as attacker

Plz give me a good build strat and attitude for a elf/rogue T/M during war. I mean, how could I help best my Kd as I will not be able to cast Ms?

is a build strat liek this ok? 15% hms, 20% glds, 25% twrs, 25% th dn´s, 8% frts, 7%frms

Dear fanboy/girl.

If you want to be able to help your kingdom, don't go T/M. Also, meteors aren't the end-all, be-all spell, either.

Switch to A/T with your elf instead. You'll have more fun, you'll be useful, and you get a break from the usual spamming of magic.

VT2, which outside tools do you use, and which should we all use?

(like pimp, angel, etc.)

I use...

Notepad.
And the window's calculator.

Pimp makes finding, storing, and accessing information a lot smoother, so it's recommended for everyone.

Angel takes more presses to calculate stuff than the window's calculator, or my phone, and has ads, so I see no need for it.

Any random instant messenger, that at least half your kingdom feels like using, is also recommended, but not necessary.

you are useless, help me out with my thread?? instead of being useless i asked for strat man and u dont even give one. Stupid guy.

I don't do 'strats,' or netdecking.
If you're not smart enough to use what I tell you to make your own decisions, you need to rethink your position.

lol man u act like u know everything ur so dumb lol its sofunny.

I've forgotten more about the game than you'll ever know.

??LOL wtf does that even mean???? hahahhaha wtf wat a loser.

The immature troll, who's stuck using internet shorthand to make himself feel better, is at a loss for words.
It's okay - I'm sure you'll do a fine job banking land for the top-100.

VT2 i read your replys because they make an inteligent mind chuckle.
