Holy crap-You MUST see this! (academy strat)
I suspect Mytical and GOW will find this amusing even if they don't believe this can work Go academy!

I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

"Interesting" is the only word I'll use to desrcibe it. Can't get any more specific without more experience with Hotseat play, but my first reactions are in general negative: mass magic, after all, can only get you so far and final victory goes to whosoever wins the battle with creatures. A hero can only act so often, and if Counterspell is available...
Well like I said, I don't know.
Anyway I bet some people are wondering why I haven't replied to that thread of mine. I'll just write a short note here: I have exams tomorrow

What I dont get is where they got so much money to build all that army,and equip heavy artifacts on them.Sure,you can creep and claim the mines,but that depends a lot on what you get guarding those mines.If its unfavorable,youll loose for sure.
Also,the second fight,97 familiars seem very small to me.It shouldve been quite much more,and 100 mana wouldnt stand much chance against them.

Forgive me then for bringing it to your attention It's not his opponents that concern me but the rate at which you gain power this way.Even if you don't get a phoenix you can do other interesting combos,motw can ensure that much.
@DL
I question these myself.As I do with titans on week 5.

A second haven castle...or the hero that starts with peasants.The Mad Dragon wrote:I question how someone can have 500 Marksmen by week 5.
Generally speaking, Elvin's arguments are much more convincing to me in that thread. I've seen the power of marksman, I haven't seen the power of a wizard who can cast three different spells every turn.

I believe the strategy would require a fairly resource rich map and a bit of luck.
What I would like to see is the day by day build order. Then if the results could be replicated on different maps it could be put forth as a viable strategy. Otherwise it is hit and miss or a strategy for a particular map.
Until then I am very much a doubter.

Training, Haven's special ability. You can turn Peasants into Marksmen into Squires into Inquistors into Champions, though it costs a ton of gold.And peasants have what to do with marksmen?
You don't wipe it out, you reduce its effectiveness. A small army can easily beat a big one if the big army's cused by Mass Slow, Mass Vulnerability, Mass Confusion, Weakness and so on while the small army's blessed by Mass Divine Strength, Righteous Might, Mass Bless and so on.Honestly, I don't buy the Academy strat. Spells are fine and all, but I seriously do not believe that you could wipe out an army with just spells.
Elvin - It's OK though. I'll probably still pass the exam (though an 'A' is a different matter).

(a chinese patch that beefs academy up maybe?)

Exactly.Its a risky and very luck dependant strategy.PhoenixReborn wrote:Not to mention that the dramatically reduced costs for the mages guilds in recent versions of the game make it a much more viable strategy. But still it's just as easy to get word of light and arcane armor and then where are all these victories?
