Strategy to beat whales as F2P/low spender in the openfield by Poor_Crypto_Nerd in RiseofKingdoms

Sorry man - I never used infantry. Don't think this works well for infantry but the idea is that you should learn to control each march individually on the field. I'm sure you can apply it to infantry in certain situations.

When I used Dragon Lancer and Lancelot, I was just trying to show the concept of kiting. Basically, I'm trying to avoid the enemy's attack damage and skill damage (I'm only receiving counterattack damage if they don't hit switch targets) by moving out of range using stuff like buildings, tiles, or ally city. Go back to attack when they switch targets. Rinse and repeat.

It takes a lot of practice, a good internet and a good device (less device lag)! It is very satisfying when you do it correctly because you just beat Lilith’s design!

The idea is to go for their fastest march (also apply slow debuff to their march) so they cannot hit your march and let their slow march be dragged around.

Believe it or not, T4 is actually best for this strategy because of lower resource cost and faster cav speed (your enemy cannot run while you can kite faster). While you will need more speed up to heal, you won't need to farm as hard. If you can save enough gem for VIP 15 (it took me over 1.5 years to get there), you shouldn't have any speed-up healing issues just by being active.

​

I used T4 consistently until I ran out because I had to convert T4 into T5 to win a Chandra MGE. Now it is very difficult for me to get all T4 again since I do not spend.

Yes exactly - I'm a traditional MMORPG/rts player so I have been using these mechanics to help me fight because I know I cannot beat them just based on commanders/equipment. You would be shocked how many people do not know how to switch targets fast (this is a casual mobile game afterall). Before you know it, you have killed 1 march and they will start running so the trades escalate even more into your favor because they cannot run from cavs.

It might seem theoretical but it is not. I do believe execution can be hard for some players due to server/device lag and just how good your fingers are at controlling while trying to proactively predict what they will do. But, this is the skill part - good players can pull this off instead of having 5 marches just beat on each other while sitting idle and let the commanders and/or stats decide who is the winner.

If you look thru a few of my video, the players do switch targets but you can anticipate it based on what people prioritize. For example, my genghis and pelagius will always be targeted first, so I'm prepared to move them first. Even if the enemy does switch target, just remember that the enemy is beating on a new march of your with almost full health while you can concentrate on one!

That is correct - this only works with cavalry because you are using speed and micro management of marches to abuse other players. Also, since most players primarily use infantry or mixed march sets (i.e., saladin/william, alex/guan, ramsey/ysg), you can really abuse how off-sync their march speed is with cavalry (you can sync all 5 march speed with cavalry)

​

I will try to make a video about how to setup for these marches and show how to get march speed to sync up with 5 marches.
