Amphibeous Archer Assault
Two things- a second city island build- which never works out- and an archer seaborne attack
Jackson-Organized/Protective Emperor, Standard, Fractal, Random all else, Blue Marble Aqua Build in place- see an isle to the southwest-tech to archery - build a barracks Lo and behold- Bowery event- second time this happened while going for archer rushes...

the second city island build was really key however- barbarians poured onto the capitol and allowed for 6 archers to have 5 promotions including Amphibeous.
actually more than needed as there were only two galleys and even that came at a horrific slow build cost. unloaded two picked up two more- found target- |

I dunno Troy, this doesn't seem as good as normal. Amphibious Archers just seem.... Kinda lame. Not nearly as brilliant as the Amphibiants. That stuff was Derping Genius.

Yeah it's kind of tame. Now amphibious tundra-hardened ice archers, that would be something. Adept at battling in all phases of water!

Definitely something I'm gonna try the next time I spawn on a tundra whale spot.
On a serious note, archers can function as offensive units when strategical resources aren't around. They work allright as a last ditch method. Also very useful to build them while teching to construction for catapults so you at least have something to mop up the weakened defenders with.

Fact- There is not one walkthrough of a win (including this ) on Emperor using an island second city build-
Fact- Working towards specific promotions is harder than it looks early in the game Fact- The capitol would have fallen if found (later play showed it had 2 units- ) Fact- The AI does not defend well against Ships - workers unguarded- weak cities- troops shifting around ect. the evidence is clear- Archer rush via sea with specific promotions is akin to michael jordan in basketball Last edited by troytheface; Oct 03, 2009 at 03:30 AM. |
