Ok, first off, sorry for using a guest, i will register in like 7 days at most.
Anyway, i am a 100% dedicated Poseidon Player.
It breaks my heart to see you don't have any recorded games of Poseidon.
I'm proud to say i'm about a 1600-1610 player.
But i've just had some very bad luck.
I am very scared and nervous on 1v1.
And on 2v2, very often, my ally sucks or plays alone.
Anyway, I have already perfected my Centaur raid.
I go in groups of three Centaur Polemarchs.
Their 6.50 speed makes almost any unit unable to catch them.
If playing against Atlantean, then going in groups of 5 would be a good idea because the 5 special attacks will prolly kill an atlantean human villagers.
Anyway, i can go on, but i wanted to know what Build Order i should use for a Militia Rush.
How many villagers should i use for a villy rush, and is bringing 8 vills into my enemies town and activating ceasefire and building like 4 archer ranges and 2 barraks and mking units during ceasefire, then after ceasefire end, use the 8 vills to build a tower and grason 5 for protection and use the other 3 to build additional buildings.
The main point in this strategy is to KILL AS MANY VILLAGERS AS YOU POSSIBLE CAN.
KNOCKING OUT THE TC WON'T KILL HIM, KILLING 50% OF HIS VILLS WILL.
Anyway, i need tips from you guys, and i'l sign up soon.
Thanks

Thanks for verbally committing to join the site  I know, I'm working on it as fast as possible. Hopefully by the end of the month I will have it working for every god, I just might need some motivation I was too, but you will never get any better playing 2v2's. Sure you will feel better and safer, but you can't get better if your ally is always winning for you. Start doing 1v1's rated all the time. Two centaurs are enough. The special of both centaurs can kill a villager in two hits (special from each cent), bring a dwarf down to like 5 hp and bring a citizen to down about 100hp. Vs. other norse,greek, egyptian, go in groups of two. Vs Atlanteans, go groups of 4 if you want to kill citizens quickly What you said would take like 800 wood, not to mention that you are rushing too. No, Poseidon can do a really cool militia/villy rush that I will show how to do once I get to it. But that would be the better strategy to go if your going to do any rushing like that. |

I thought militia rush sucked unless you are a whole lot better than your opponent in which case you can do something less risky.

It is the only viable rush Posiedon has that he wants that fast. Since he doesn't have athena, he will lose a lot of villagers to town center fire, so having the militia will help. I personally have never done a miltia rush, so I'm not 100% how effective it is.

I had it done against me and even as atty it was easily countered.

Remember, it's hard to perform, so he might of lacked the skill. Also, atty are the strongest against villy/militia rush cause they can build a new tc in archaic.

No... All civs can rebuild a TC in archaic if you lose the first one. If you mean an archaic 2 TC boom counters militia rush, please elaborate. Atty TC is weaker. Atty villies are more prone to harassment. If it really takes that much skill to perform, he would be better off using that skill somewhere else, as I have said.  |

Alright, anyway, i have to strongly disagree with the 2 Centaurs instead of three. Three will kill a dwarve. Also, ur opponenet can just use SOOOOO many god pwoers whcih would disown u of one centaur, such as bolt, chaos, traitor, and possibly quite a couple more... I like using three, more LOs, etc. |

when the centaurs are SLAUGHTERING his villagers, then Yes, it is.
Especially in the early game.

Bolt is likely to happen to your first one, but when they see you come in with 4 more, they are going to wish they saved bolt realizing you weren't attacking with just a lone cent.
I'm not saying using 3 centaurs are bad, but useless unless you are against atty. You can just run around with 2 centaurs at his gold, and then the other two at his wood instead of 3 at gold and only 1 at his wood.

yes, i understand, and i saw the zeus recorded game, the first one, it seems, the zeus was a better player...the score was double for zeus so...both were severely raided.
Anyway, wow, great game
