Are very strong (notice i din't say imba!! <3), we all know it, they know it, but it's kinda like tank/panda, it won't get fixed by complaining.
So, anyone have tricks against them, or know stuff who doesn't help and should be avoided? Even if they require micro :P
For example, -Siege weapon don't leave corpse when killing, stopping tauren from being rezed -Hex can be dispelled (duh! but almost no one does it)
-breaker can steal their ward (and most orcs don't notice so they don't bother to set more, or kill yours) -Banish pretty much saves any of your unit from orc, since they have almost no magic attack -the SH's BBW will NOT cancel hawk's ensare (but im pretty sure it does cancel damage dealt by ensare)
-AMS blocks 300 dmg of bats damage -A cursed/lusted unit will only have 92% of its usual dps -having 1-2 necs will use the corpse tauren leaves behind, and stop them from being rezed -cripple reduces the bm's dps and speed by 75%
-cyclone... use it more!
Anything else? What unit should be killed first? What building should be killed first?
Usually when i watch game ppl bitch that they should kill the casters first.... however i remember doing just that once, watching the replay, and seeing everyone say "what an idiot! you have to kill the dps of wyv first"
Usually trying to kill hero is a waste of time, killing tauren will just get them rezed in a few sec (at least it gives xp)... So i guess the order would be Bats>Wyv>Caster>Tauren>Hero?
I was testing out if you could tp further away, by blocking the place your army could land with building (doesn't work) and i found out, that if you cant tp your whole army, it doesn't consume a tp!
First try all my air got sent to the hall, and my ground stayed behind (no tp consumed), then i killed a tower, tried again, a small portion of my ground tped, leaving most of the rest behind, still no tp consumed
It's not really something that i can think of any useful way to abuse, but, i still learned something new after playing this game for so many years ^_^
1a) The times that you post should indicate times when you can start your match. Please make sure that you are allocating enough time so that you can finish your match. E.G. You have to leave your house at 20:00 EST, the last time that you should put you're available is probably around 18:00 EST depending on the map.
2) Try to post your availability for the whole two weeks as best you can, and once everyone (or almost) has done so, suggest a time that seems to be good with all player
3) If you cannot play a time that was suggested, try to suggest another time that would be good for you, and would appear to work with everyone elses schedule. Admins are always willing to help if the players are having trouble finding a time that fits everyone's schedule.
4) If you are able to play at that time, confirm it by posting that you are able to play.
Example of a good post
Round starts February 1st, and ends on February 14th.
February 1: 14:00-20:00 EST February 2: 13:00-15:00 EST February 3: N/A February 4: N/A February 5: 12:00-22:00 EST February 6: 13:00-17:00 February 7: N/A February 8: N/A February 9: 10:00 -14:00 EST February 10: 08:00-20:00 EST February 11: 12:00-20:00 EST February 12: N/A February 13: 20:00-22:00 February 14: 12:00-20:00
This is good because it gives your schedule for the entirety of the period in which you're allowed to play.
Example of some bad posts
I can play Saturday
Most anytime is good with me except for a few times
I don't know
Scheduling is not a hard task, but it does make it significantly harder for games to get played if you do not do a good job of it.
