ancient rush ???

lol i was playing 3 vs 3 and me and my allies were all NE. then one of them comes saying us to "ancient rush". I asked what it is and he said me to just watch what he was doing. The stupid noob builded about 3-4 ancients of wars nearby enemy base and waited till he upgraded natures blessing. Then he said : DIE ALL HAHAHA" he uprooted the ancients and attacked an base. Lol this is going to work i thought but then only with 5-6 archers the ancients got owned. ( since new patch the ancients have heavy armor when uprooted ). I know someone who did this before 1.12 and that had much more effect. So... What do you guys think of this strategy? (sorry for bad english )

Yeah that is a very bad strategy it use to wor alot better in Roc cause everything was different one guy did it once has about 7 and it worked went into their base and destroyed everything. I wouldnt use it anytime cause its stupid and never works like you said 5-6 archers took them all out and its just a waste of of money.

Ive one, but i had around 12 trees of ages...much more effective, allies were chims, and dyrads i think

It was great in ROC 1.11 or whatever before when they were fortified. now with heavy armor they take much more damage, and are taken out so much more faster

 

[kx.ryoga]

yeah those were some great time ...

I also remember in 1.00 when n00bies ruled my area, getting together and doing some serious losing. I smacked one with an Ancient Rush, everyone ran to grab Siege, but Huntresses were so good back then!

Lol, I saw someone do that recently against me and my allies, we killed it quickly and went on to win the game lol. Used to work, don't try it now IMO.

And i know some that are not n00bs but use ancients.Just to test the opponent.They usually underestimate them and also reveal where their base is.
I had such case and when i attacked such player and defeated him he made the confession that he really thought i was a n00b.And he refused to play with me again.

 

[x42bn6]

It's a very strange and expensive way at finding it out though.

 

[CitricAcid13]

Yeah I'd much rather send like a wisp or something to scout / scope the enemy's army / location.

hehe barracks rushing....

 

[zeroxuz]

hahah rush with anchents? lol the can berarly move.
(XUZ me bad englesh)

 

[Kuro Neko]

It wouldn't work anyways, take too long to build, uproot, and how will you save your man being attacked?

 

[Dags]

this used to be a very effective strat back in the day

Guess whos back?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ancient rushing isnt good, late game when its like a stalemate, try bringing in 10 or so ancients that were wisps and they might be a little alarmed and thrown off guard.

Very true. I saw a game where that is all they did, ancient rush....with balistas...no one had a base...because the base was always moving.

AGH! *runs away* Your arguing partner, Chibi, has left, alas.

Ancient rushing was pretty evil against me in a large team game. I was fighting with Archers and Dryads with my DH surrounded by 4 Ancients, and my ally was watching me suffer and sending 'lol' to me all the time, damn him, lucky I had Potions and Meta on my side.

 

[BluddLuSt4Life]

it used to be a decent strat, now they got hvy armor its not, unless you root next to their buildings. hmmmm.... do ancients attack enemy buildings when rooted? if so, it might work

Edit: nah, it doesnt they attack when rooted, but it didnt matter
