necros aren't that strong...to be sure u kill fast the ghosts just split the bowmen in many stacks so the u can have a high percentage of succes whhen hitting them...this is for knights... |
| I agree with Kush because you need a archer and farmers (or upgrade farmers) who ever is lvl 1-2 i won the most crazy battle against demons and they where in hard mode and i use my stragey to lure them so i wish they vido tape that one how i battle agianst thous demons of couse i lost few battle because my foolish chose |
| i think the bowmen can actully fire 9 arrows you just click the button next to the end turn |
| All factions or as they`re called in every other mmorpg have there own strengths and weaknesses, the trick is to find and use them to achive victory, there is no suppiour faction only ones who have to fight differenly and thats what makes these games interesting. |
I think every faction has its own pluses and minuses.
On every level there is some faction that looks stronger than anothers.

(I for example also play the .ru sever with Knight and I'm very happy

| In the Early Levels, the Elves have the upper hand, for defiante. But later on i would say that one of the hardes factions i face now (As an Elf, used to be a knight till i was almost at level 4 - thought i'd try something new) is probably the Barbarains, - initiative makes a big difference, plus the wolf riders have the double attack. |
Use some strategy.
I think those farmers are only made to be a decoy for fighting.
Set farmers on frontline and archers on back line
The enemy must kill the farmers first before reaching the archers so you have some time to shoot them with arrows. |
my advice to newb knights,
-DONT rush your combat lv too hard with duel.
-knight is HEAVILY depend on the faction lv in order to get bigger troops size with training chamber.
you need to spend some time to hunt nature, LOSE most of duel to get your faction lv go up.
obviously, with same combat lv, troops quality problem cause knight lose to other faction easily. thx to the lame farmer which cant tank archer at all; while low hp and ini make archer can die easily within afew round.
wihtout any spell support or quality units, the only way you can do is get higher training camber to allow you get quantity troops. |
Like this, not a very good Demonstration, but
Devide your ARchers in two, or one stack, depending on how you want to fight -
A F
F F
-Lower Down the map-
F F
A F
Then any farmers left over just piel them where your gonna meet the most resistance - split the farmers into groups of ones as they are purely for Cannon Fodder (Throw-away soldiers) |
for motar_demon1:
necromancers are overpowered i mean ghost and reving undead
I dunno as a lvl4 Necro I'm not winning that many 1 vs 1 battles at the moment - demons can gate in mana suckers to disable the resurrect ability, elves have luck towers for their archers and very high initiative, Dark elves have area spells and rogues, Knights have swordsmen and archers. But then I lost a lot like that at the start of level3 too, then I hit a plateau once I figured out how to use my troops effectively.
Try hunting more and seeing how to deal with each type of soldier individually. Or play in a group battle and watch what other players do to contain or eliminate a certain faction |
| knights are my favorite faction so far. |
| wtf, why arn't necromancers nerfed yet |
| I could say the same about the pointy eared bretheren with a liking for lincoln green |
I've loved knights since the start and have been able to win alot of fights right from lv 1 and 2.
Fact is, you have to use 30's displayed strategy, and change it depending on what faction and what race your fighting for first few lvs. 2nd you can corpse camp the ghost, and in group battles if you've got a mage you can have him take on ghost.
elves are annoying as hell but demons are pretty decent against them.
At lv 3 right now doing group battles. I usually end up with less skill points then the losing team if we win. because I deal alot of damage but have so few turns I don't get the killing blows. and then in turn they all rush me because they hate my bowmen.
Stuns are awesome and so is enrage on soldiers. bunch of 1 stack soldiers taking the hits of a ghost or mino or keeper or (enter name of annoying tank here), and then stunning them. then having a stack of 10 to 15 come up and just thrash them. not once but twice, and then possible even restunning them is devastating.
alas I type to long, must win money at roulette (good way to get training ground). |
one thing i don't get is why other knight complain about necros. in 1 on 1 fight they are easy as hell is hot.

Sure the necro made a few mistakes but had a decent strategy, you just have to remember that with ghost. you have 50% chance to miss or hit. but if you miss twice in a row you get a 100% and if you hit twice in a row you get 0% on 3rd.
Retaliation I believe counts to the ghost 3 hit rule. but movement/turn does not I believe. Also the swordsmen stun and enrage is useful, USE IT. I can normally end up with a stack of 10 swordmen left with a +5 enrage guarding my bowman. Best part is not alot of people I play notice that fact and think I won't do to much damage so when they attack him and I deal twice as much as them after losing 2. they kinda start to panic and ignore my bowman long enough for me to run out of arrows. |
| I just started playing recently as a knight and i've been losing all my battles. But now I have developed a strategy to make me WIN!(Knights aren't the weakest link) |
| elfs are overpwoered from lvl 5 on:) Even doh knights get griffins they dont end up getting there at all. |
| I've heard elves are not that powerful at lv 5vs5 compared to lv 3vs3. Though I have heard necros get harder. Can you show us some combat videos of strategy used? |
Alright I just have to revitalize this topic simply because I had a great fight. had a nooby lv 4 knight as my ally in a 2vs2 random lv4 fight. Was facing a barb and elf both who were decent enough. But the fact that we still won just shows good tactics (guided my partner on staying out of keepers range unless I can attack after, and to remind him what doesn't have retal) and the power of swordsmen.
