Ok im playin as thew undead as i usally am and my partners decide to creep & counter so after i got my hero(lich) and 6 ghouls but when i wentout side my base there were about 6 towers built so i layed off after about 20 min they had built a mini base outside my base. They eventulyl stormed my base wit tanks. So instead of asking my mates for help i told them to atack. One of my mates had like 6 tanks. So they stormed the enemys base. (As i have said in a few other of my posts). They were completly caught off-gaurd. So even though my base was gone:( 1 of theres wasnt:D . The luck thing was they massed towered(dont forget my mate had about 9 tanks now). A little later it was 4vs1 and pulled threw for the victory i meen my team mates did. What im saying towers should only be used to help or slow down enemys. So if u disagree plz discuss.......

Well when I am fooling around or playing a race with a slow start (undead/NE) I tower rush. I am normally able to get it off but the trouble I have is when they counter.

Also the clan I am in does alot of FFAs so I offensive tower (not rush) I cover a whole portion of the map with towers. I have a replay if you would like to see it.

I sometimes have fun of people that mass tower and dont build units because it takes them like 20 min to build it take 20 seconds to take down so people that do go mass towers tower have no sense because wat if they kill all our units(if anys that dumb just to walk in some towers) then they wont have any units so by the time they get some will be hitten the base with siege so it makes no sense to me. Maybe to other people it does but y risk all that money on towers when they will be blown down to nothing. It might be just me but i only tower for anti-counters so i have time to get some units

i think it's dumb to have only a war mill in your base....if i get towered to a tower rusher like that i look at their base because usually i woulda scouted by then and just attack, maybe hide 1 or 2 farms/wells/barrows if hu/ne/orc and then attack so not all my buildings are gone....a decent Tower rusher would probably ahve an alter with them and a hero which could actually stop it, although if you do attack because you are tower rushed, it is still hard to attack orcs cuz of their barrows and at early game you won't have much of an army, unless their total n00bs and don't use their barrows. So i guess it depends on how well you tower rush and what you're up against if it's a good strat of not. 1v1 wise towering is crazy, but in team it can help slow them down a lot because usually your first reacion would be to stop the tower rush and get siege to attack it, which would help the tower rushing team a lot.

To counter Towers, get a Priestess of the Moon, cast loads of protecting spells/items on it and do Starfall. Or get a Lv10 Demonhunter with Immotlation and Metamorphosis to kick the hell out of them. 'course, if you're Undead, Tower rush as well and when they attack,, they'll have more than they wish for. DO NOT USE FROST WYRMS 'cos despite their strength, you need to have some degree of speed to break them.

to be honest with you even if i was NE i would never get potm as my hero. Yes i actully think Death'n'decay is a better move. The only thing was that my lich only got to a level 4 so it was realy hard.:p
