| Author | help in hunt against orc |
|---|
I have difficulty to fight the orc, with full skeleton bowman (though my necro faction skill still 4)
I have retribution sword equipped.
My partner Cybertec is a very experience hunter :)
But we lost badly. The orcs attack is a bit out of our prediction.

hope to have some tactical advices, other than wearing full arts. | well, I'm just giving my opinion.
I think the efk made the wrong movement at the beginning. He is in the orcs range that might "threaten" the orcs, so they will hit the efk first instead of other troops first.
and my English is poor also =] | I think the AI has a high tendancy to target upgraded 3rd tier units first, like shrews & elite keepers.
The elite keepers recieved full damage when they charged into orc's range. The elf player if without full art, at least needs something to counter the orc's 11 initiative. Some basic armor, or a couple of +initiative items. So that the druids could have time to cast their Stoneskin.
Knight could be a better support in a hunt like this, against hordes of extremely powerful shooters. | Thanks. we actually thought the orcs will finish off our shooters first.
Seems like the programme has changed a little bit. It's difficult to predict. There were times the enemy just hit my zombies instead of ghost or vampire. | Hi, some things to improve:
1) The reason, that the keepers got shot first, was because the keepers moved into their close shooting range (6 tiles), where their damage doesn`t get halved. Else the orcs would have shot the elf bowmen first. It is possible for the keepers with speed 6 to move into position, so that they can reach the orcs, without being in their close range. Just count six tiles from the stack of orcs away and then one tile up or down. In your battle 6:5 would have been the best place IMO. On 7:7, where the keepers really did move, they were in close range of the lower three stacks and got shot to death.
2) Stone skin on the ghosts was useless. One hit was enough anyway.
3) Fight with full reserves of skeleton archers!
I hope that helps :). Of course, as said above, elves are weak against orcs in general, so I`m not sure, if that battle could have been won from the start. |
