| 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 :P) |

| 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.

| 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 |

| Ialsoremember 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!

| 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. | |

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

| 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.

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.

| 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
