    Some of the matches I've seen it normally ends with a duel between two knights which is a lot cooler and a lot more entertaining then watching two archers shoot back and forth! ;)

    I change to an archer and draw the enemy into open space and than rain arrows on their heads.

    I usually die xD
    Roaming around the map with spectator camera can be very intresting.
    But collapsing towers is a very underestimated tactic, as collapses are lethal to ANYONE, even a shielding knight (if he's out in the open it'll probably land on top of him or in front of him). How many times i have died from a single, not-really-moving-anymore castle wall block? countless times.
    Btw, fate, SHOW US THIS FORT OF YOURS!

    Especially if you do it at the very side of a map so they cant see it.
    5 knights once came after me when i did that, it was so hilarious.

    I went throgh a whole game as archer hiding in tall grass. but there was no point in hiding because they ran out of units before we did.

  8. For me, it all depends on the unit counter.

    If we have more units then them: Mine stone, get money, buy bombs, start getting +3s and wipe them out.

    If we have less units: Fortify base, mine stone, get money, buy bombs. Blow the enemy apart with the help of my teammates. Wreck as a knight, too. Often times I succeed and manage to tear the enemy a new one; enough to the point where they actually flee back to their base.

    From there, I'm usually alone, with my entire team defeated. If there's an op, I take it with me as a mobile class changer as I work my way over the enemy defenses (ladders <3), swap to a knight, and bomb the living shit out of them. It usually works, but there are the times where my Rambo skills end with archers spamming arrows into my eye sockets while I climb a ladder. I die, and fail my entire team. ;c

    There are those other times, however, where I succeed and win the end-round on my own. The highest match I've gone up against the enemy and won with this strategy is in the forties, but I had my entire team to back me up.

    what about those unnerving builders who are mining when you walk by, and you always assume they're just doing some job and never stay around long enough to realize that they exist merely to be background scenery.
    And then during the endgame, that one builder will continue mining and chopping as if nothing were amiss, until his last moments, completely oblivious to attacks.
    Who— or WHAT— are these things?

    Depends.
    If it's rather even, I'll make hiding holes and hide in them as knight. I'll wait for others to come buy and whip out my sword and ideally they'll die quickly with no damage to me. Doesn't happen that way too often, but hey. It's alot better than my following tactic:

    Make a "sweet bunker" with loads of "fun goodies and bombs!" at the bottom. Lure teammates in with promises of money and free stuff, other team wins.
    Not too many people fall for it, but if the "bunker of awesomeness" is close enough to the front, usually a few enemies will die while trying to access my hidden stash of pointy goodies waiting eagerly for them.

    All this, of course, is assuming I didn't die stupidly with no counters left, such as being blown into the air by a bomb and then getting shot through the head in midair.

    It's weird, but I figured it out a few months ago.

    These things are Minecrafters. Unsure of what the game is REALLY about, they play the Builder Tutorial long enough to figure out how to dig... And maybe (this is just a hypothesis, further investigation needed) they believe that the objective of the game is to dig as deep as possible. This is all hypothetical, but these creatures are a special breed of Minecrafter, who can't even build large, elaborate base structures. Rather, they farm coins, possibly believing the player with the most coins wins. While fascinating, they are truly as dumb as they are mysterious.

    you know what, I just say to the enemy to have a ceasefire and make a glorious castle. I've done this twice, i once made a massive tower, with stone blocks stretching the entire map and i collapse it just to piss off the enemy.


    (warning, not advised, this action could lead to: death threats, Spam threats, Real life Death threats, Vote to hurry up, kick from server, ban from server, ban from KAG, ban from playing computer becasuse somehow your mum or dad found out, Ban from going within 10 metres of a computer because your Mum and Dad are Asian and finally, a spam warning for typing so much spam on the forums about your misadventures)

    When there is one guy left and we are both knights and his being a chicken. I tell him that I'm going AFK and he runs up to you. Then You just stab him :D (this works really well on RTDM)

    On most servers the turtling team usually wins but If you are on a gold server and playing with people who know what teamwork is then you can do some real damage. If you know you are playing against uncoordinated turtlers then see if you can draw at least a few them into the open, hide your archers in an ambush point, try to engage any knights and then "fall back in disarray" where they will usually switch to knight to follow you. Use this probability to have two archers waiting for them, two knights with bombs, and a builder to harass and trap them. Even better have a quarters behind a team door for knights/unlucky builders to heal in, and as a last resort. Even if only a few come out, they will have that many fewer defenders making other strategies easier.

    Pros: Pretty straightforward, you choose the terrain for the most part, the fewer there are, the easier they fall.

    Cons: Teamwork is necessary, or their superior numbers of knights (considering they all do that) will cut your team to pieces, terrain might not be in your favor, even if you choose it. Skilled players will never take the bait. AND IF ONE SINGLE PERSON DOES NOT USE TEAMSPEAK THEY WILL TIP THE OTHER TEAM OFF AND DAMN HIMSELF TO HELL FOR ETERNITY, WHERE MISTER UNHOLY MEATBALL WILL DRINK STRAWBERRY LEMONADE OUT OF HIS SKULL.:)
