hippo riders comin back?

is it just me, or has there been a suprising number of ne players goin hippos lately?

 

[Theroy]

just you =)

 

[Andrew]

Just you.

 

[The_Keebler_Elf]

Definately just you.

I haven't seen hippo riders in forever.

 

[Andrew]

N_ still thinks hippo riders are good vs. gruntapult. ><

 

[Ntrik_]

It works tho

But I only use it to be an asshole and kill off peons and annoy the sh!t out of the orc, and make MGs in the base and attack

 

[Andrew]

Bears work much better than MGs against grunts you know.

 

[thegame]

But in tier two mg's have to hold the grunts.. and dryads along with a few dott's.

 

[Andrew]

Bears would work better than MGs.

Man Hippos are back in for me...I saw 4 outta 7 games ppl massed archers then hipporiders...then i tried it too! its ok...i just like 2 pick on the guy who masses melee and mess up all his worker dudes. Hippo harass works best against NE...the tree dies so ez...

Oh yea, that reminds me.

When we (dunno, It had torubu, simo, and som1 else) were playing 4v4 against xCKx clan members, We pwned.

Why? Because I had 24 hippo riders, killing all the enemy's workers

And yes, bears might work well uFOO, but they are only useful in tier 3, which takes bit of a time.

 

[CrouchingTiger]

k well i think they are, becuz once again, someone just massed archers and then went hipp's

 

[Andrew]

Well, why don't you try to get mass ranged with PotM? If they get air you should be able to counter them.

24 isn't really possible.

24 archer = 48 food.
24 hippo = 48 food
--------------------------
96 food leaving 4 wisp

Exagerated a bit?

 

[CrouchingTiger]

he has a pretty good point^. i mean, did u have your allies giving u resources the whole time? hey andrew, i forgot to say he was on my team. . i didn't want to counter him bud

 

[Andrew]

Say what? He was on your team, so why would you try to counter? Did i miss something?

 

[CrouchingTiger]

i never said i was trying to counter. i was just saying that someone else just went hippo riders again.

 

[Andrew]

Ok then. Hippo riders are good in team games if you fast tech!

No heros (dead), 24 hippos

Max food is 100

And I had 4 wisps

Why did i do this? I wasnt doing anything else in the game, I was beaten up from several attacks.

Did you save replay? Or are you just trying to mop up after your mistake.
