| There are two main Archer Ambush maps. The 4 player map and the 6 player map. The 6 player map has six walled in enclosures with two towers guarding its gate. The ground is flat with no hills. Your reinforcements come in 20 second cycles. For 20 seconds they come and then 20 seconds they don't. You lose the game when you lose all your people. Kills get you upgrades. 200 kills = Crossbowmens 400 kills = Chemistry 600 kills = Arblests 800 kills = you get Longbowmens at the same time so you get twice as many guys 1000 kills = Elite Longbowmen 4 player center hill In the four player game you also get a tower and if you lose the tower you can't make any more men. There is also hills in the map. Each player's tower is on a hill and there is a hill in the middle of the map. (Some maps have four more hills in between the people walled areas) When you start out, you get a sabotuer, a battering ram and an archer. Every 300 seconds you get another sabotuer. Your upgrades are as follows: 200 kills = Crossbowmen 300 kills = Feudal Age, fletching, padded archer armor, and cartography 400 kills = Chemistry 550 kills = Arablests 650 kills = Castle age, bodkin arrows, leather archer armor, and ballistics 800 kills Chu Ko Nu (some maps make longbowmens along with arabalest instead of Chu Ko Nus) Game strategy in four and six player games: In the 6 player game there are less strategies. The main strategy is to only attack when you have the advantage of numbers or technology. Kill more then you lose any way you can. There is no good ground. Remember not to bite off more then you can chew. Try to fight close to your tower so your reinforcements can get to you faster then your enemy's do. Also, when you fight close to home fill your towers up with guys, so the tower has extra attack. In both games always remember to keep one archer in your tower so you cannot be defeated if your attacking force is destroyed. Most of the strategies that work in the 6 player game will work in the 4 player game, but you should take into consideration of the hills. Archers firing down from the hill will have attack bonus and arches firing uphill will lose attack points and range. In the four player map, ou also get sabs every 5 minutes. Make sure to put your sabs to good use. Your battering ram can be used to attack enemy gates or to leave it with your arches to draw fire. The most importate game strategy is to use your archers with care becaue unlike other scenarios like fix 8 and fest 2, you don't get replacements for the ones that get killed. Many of The Archer Ambush maps are cheats so please check the the maps that you use to host games and delete cheats or fix them yourself. GoOD lUck ZoNE wArRioRs!! |
