This is not considered a duel animation because it is available to all players, not just gold members.

When an Archidon kills a Swordwrath, a unique kill animation will play, where the arrow hits the Swordwrath in the head.Fire Arrows used to be no different from other arrows, except in range.They had their price reduced from 350 gold to 300. Therefore late-game, they are not a good part of the army and should be replaced with Enslaved Giants, Magikill, Albowtross, or Merics. However, Archidon arrows are not armour-piercing. With kiting, you can deal damage while retreating, and then when the enemy retreats you can forward kite to deal even more damage. making them a good unit for pressure and hit-and-run attacks. They can also be microed in various ways such as kiting, forward kiting etc. These vertically fired arrows can be easier to dodge, but can circumvent blocking measures such as walls.Īrchidons are one of the main damaging parts of the Spearcher - a combinations of Speartons and Archidons. They have the capability to be one of the most damaging ranged units in the game with their speed, range (second highest) and damage (in large numbers).Īs such, Archidons become a crucial part of armies in the early-game and mid-game instead of Albowtross because of their lower cost, speed, and population. However, Archidons only fire arrows vertically if the enemy is on the edge of their range. These arrows can be fired normally or straight upwards, coming down on enemies from above. They are normally fired in one volley, as shown in the image. These flaming arrows have a longer range, and do more damage (twice the damage of a standard arrow) and causes burn damage. Costing 50 gold and 100 mana to research, this ability can be used at any time for 5 mana per arrow. The tank can run over units to deal a crap ton of damage, but mostly it shoots bullets at 0.6x the range of an archidon and those bullets explode and deal 1.5x the damage of a giant to any units hit.A group of Archidons shooting fire arrows They already have pre-built tanks, it only costs money for fairness. It has 3x as much health as a giant, but it doesn’t need time to train because it’s a machine, so they just need time to get it to the battlefield, which is the same amount of time it takes to train a swordwrath. It costs $2000, making it extremely expensive, but there is a reason for this. Doctor health is about 0.6x as much as a spearton but she can’t block. A maximum of 3 doctors can be healing 1 unit and a maximum of 5 units can be healed every second by the same doctor. The doctor is pretty cool, she costs $500 and heals nearby units of the modern empire a total of 1/10 the health of a swordwrath every second. The best counter to Machine Gunners is using units with shields since the shields will be good at blocking the bullets. It is not as fast-attacking as real life machine gunners because it can’t be too OP.

A ranged unit that acts like the gunner but with 2x the attack speed of the archidon. This one counts as 3 population.Ĭosts $700. It is weak ro speartons blocking it’s attacks. It deals 2x as much damage as the gunner but has 0.4x the attack speed, and it has $300 in cost because of it’s range. It also counts as 1 population.Ī really long ranged unit that can hit your statue while only going 25% of the way to it. Why is this in the modern empire? Because they gotta have people in the front to block attacks to the gunners. The ultraswordsman is the modern empire’s melee unit and costs $200, dealing 3x as much damage as a swordwrath and having 1.5x as much health. The gunner is the main unit of the modern empire, and has the same health as an archidon.

It shoots slowly at 0.3x the attack speed of an archidon, but it deals 4x as much damage as an archidon and has. Counts as 1 population.Ī ranged unit who costs $160. Auto-mines have a lot of health, with 2x the health of a spearton due to their mechanical nature. Unfortunately for the modern empire, 2 auto-mines cannot mine the same gold mine at once. A unit who costs $120 yet is better at mining at the miner, instantly converting mined stuff to gold, and mining 2x as fast as a miner.
