As you all now the nightelves have a special technique. That is that their building can uproot and can attack enemies. This is quite fun and sometimes pisses off other people.

I wanted to know how many people use this technique, and if they found a fast and destructive way of using it.

well I only use it when I am getting attack and my people are losing the battle.

It can sometimes turn the tide.

what kinda person would use those slow, weak trees as an army? and they can only help you if your fighting like 2 footmen or something, and anyone who sends 2 footmen to a base is a coomplete freaking newb. lol.

i only use it when they are attacking my base, sometimes there's only a few guys left after your main defenders killed the rest of them and that can stop the invasion

Yea Uprooting is kind of fun. Altough they are kind of slow. But it would be kind of cool if you could speed those trees up or something. Like Steroids. Hope blizz thinks about this when patching the game. Would be kind of fun.

i just thought of a good reason to uproot besides attacking things u can move your tree of life of whatever u upgraded to to the a new mine or if your being attacked u can move to a new area that is if u can get your trees out and there is an upgrade u can use to make the trees move a little faster.

I love up root. i usally put a wisp in a few strategic locaions and when he dies i sen my whole army there. then all my buildings run. it got my oppent(my dad it was a LAN game)mad cause he did not know where i was

i even won a game like that. the noob thought i cheted to make my buildings fight. i also used mecinaries so it looked like a iwas cheating. he forfeted and said"AHH THOSE TREES SCARE ME!"

GOOD OL DAYS

I only use trees as an army once, cuz i was a newb at that time and i didn't lik the upkeep. I build lik 10 Ancient Protectors and send them 2 battle. The Ancient protectors r nice, when u get attack by lik several archers or rifleman, u can reroot them and they will throw lik rocks at the attackers! The only problem is when i get attacked by siege units lik catapults or balistas. I have lik 5 chimaeraes 2 back them up. Or yea, when rooted, the ancient protectors can also throw rocks at air units!

I got matched up with a guy who decided to do that once. Admittedly if the guy he chose to attack wasn't a level 12 and didn't know the game, we probably would have won, but the bad thing is... is that he wanted to attack all on his own when he did it, and told myself and my other team mate about it. So He severely lost that battle resulting in a counter attack that wiped us out.

So yeah, it does work, you just have to know what the hell you're doing. It's just like any other tactic... just keep your lines of communcation open.

Personally I think it sucks, because while your buildings are attacking, you aren't building buildings. Therefore if you lose, your team mates are then put in a 2v3 situation while you scramble to build up... and it isn't likely that you are going to help for a while because you went and destroyed every building that you've built.

I've been playing night eleves and i've used this a couple of times. It works ok... but usually it doesn't do much. I usually forget to uproot also... but I did once and it didn't help much.
