I use to do that but now archers are cheap as borche and own. If you go straight to hunts on orc u'll get owned. I just mass archer tri hero and a bunch of dott.

Err mirror it's either potm mass hunt glave + archer. If Im massing hunts I'll go straight to them in this format. Other wise 2 aop tech hard to bear.

UD it's archers and dont fight outside ur base so u can heal ur archers up when he focus. He'll prob try surround ur hero and with archers he'll be cycling his units like crazy and will leave u alone soon.

Hu I go straight to hunts unless on very small map where he bum rush me with towers. Few hunts no ap's and straight to bear.

Yeah, I did notice that sometimes. But then when you get dryads and have control over raiders, that really isn't a problem now is it. I did do archer builds a few times, like some of the people did in replayers.com. It actually was pretty darn effective, especially when I had bears backup. And even with a cruddy hero that nobody uses like the pit lord.

But something still bothered me about that. I watched a replay on TS, and I noticed some players make AoWs near creeps to attack them, and about half the time, thier hero isn't in range for exp. I was wondering why they do things like that.

But isn't fighting grunts with archers a little problematic. Well, at night is the exception.

Theroy do you play tg map ?

I once lost to 16:0 elf on tirisfal who only used ensanre from creeps. Awesome strat, i decided to learn it vs fiends and orc. The same happened on tstand earlier than 1.20e. I played ud 4fun and an elf from clan AoD mass killed fiends with ensnare. Now i wanted to learn the strat in ts but i realized the creeps were lordaeron summer! Not ensnaring murguls. Then i saw that this change was in 1.20e, 1.20e turned out to be as important as 1.21 with the no ls. No ensanre makes ts just perfect.

I think tg is so elf map, you gotta use the creeps.

No, it was frozen throne. I guess I may need to pay attention to the exp for each kill.

Are you sure that's a good idea? You would need quite a few archers to kill at least one fiend, especially with a dk in the area.
