not enough to stop 200 rushing scouts

to attack 30 macemen with 200scouts borders on stupidity in my book.

well it is noly 30 macemen...it does not really matter a 30 macemen army could make little to no diffrence in such an attack...of course i dont think id risk my scouts

157 scouts----not the total 240 scouts produced from turn 1
4710 health and
an attack of 785-1256

VS

30 macemen
2160 health
an attack of 420-630

150% damage, due to Spear vs scouts, + the differance between mace attack + Scout defense. Your looking at 50-60 scout losses, and about 14-15 mace losses,

half an army compared to 1/3 an army keep going i dont know were it is going

No not half an army. This would be assuming 1 barracks producing mace pitted against 2 barracks doing scouts. So the mace guy is also going to have stacks of scouts running around as well.

very true but chances are that the guy running around with that big scout army wont just have that one army...or am i wrong?

turn for turn... 10 mace will always beat (i think its 36 max scout production right?) 10 mace will always win against 36 scout, so turn for turn scouts will loose.

um maces train at a rate of 5 per barrack without the techs while it is 12 scouts per barrack. And maces cost all resources(except gems) while scouts only cost gold.

so if there were 10 maces per turn without a 3rd barrack the guy with maces would lose in the end run.

1/3+1/3=scout loses

VS

1/2+1/2=maces loses

Not to mention the scout player is only using up gold and can sell resources for more gold while the mace needs those resources to keep deploying them.

yes but im too lazy...actually ill do ALL the math give me a few minutes

never mind...too lazy too long too many possible ways to come across enough resources...too little info stored in my head right now

I beleive I did most of the math in "basic or expert"

oh goody bring it over

i kinda gave up after this lol

1000 500 2000 2000 2000
Gold Gems Metal Stone Wood

Now if i read correctly you can get Macemen in turn 3 on a game(none-DT)So i think this would be done by

Getting nearby resources
lets add 2 of each resource and i believe these people wont go straight to the resource buildings right?(lets make gold three since im sure when you get gold there are two right next to each other...
3 gold +2000---->13000+2 turns on 1000+gold---->
2 metal +600(minimum=cant remember what it usually gives out when you take out a resource pile)---->2600

2 Stone +600(minimum)---->2600
2 wood +600(minimum---->2600

now we have expenses:
Military...3000 gold of the top

Edit:add the research

by the way minimum would be 300...i think thats what i meant...see it was gonna take me a while so i didnt finish

onw big stack of mace thatl do 100 damage will beat any size stack of scouts usualy

it takes me ages, sould someone please help me and tell me EXACTLY how to get them out fast and EXACTLY what to do so that i dont muck it up.

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE

***could***

Get the Military tech upgrade and build a military academy. Upgrade a barracks to expert level. Research macemen in the barracks. Do it all quick!

PS The prefered spelling of the whiny "please" is "Pleeeeeeeeeeease". Otherwise you have a word like "Please eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Variants include "Pleeeaaaaase" or "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez". The last one is local to Madagascar, but use it freely.
