• 1– You can get better by practicing as much as you can , never get disappointed if you loose games vs someone because loosing is a part of game .

2- Which formation to use in infantry patrol?

• 2- The simplest formation i know is line formation which most of players use and i myself use line formation too with all infantry civilizations.

But formation does not matter much it depends on your play style many people use different formations according to there play style , but for beginners i will recommend to use line formation and i think it is best formation to use.

3- When to change stances in infantry civilization?

• 3- If you have any infantry civilization try to divide it in groups by numbering them using Ctrl-1,23,4.. .Mostly infantry civilization can be divided in two groups , after getting full population stand those groups close to each other in stand ground stance there should not be big gaps between groups then start patrolling your groups towards enemy base .

When you find enemy units then patrol your units towards them , once you get into enemy units middle then press aggressive stance and always use 1-2 runners to distract enemy’s units and never re patrol infantry civilization once you get into enemy units .

Quote:

*Tip by [7th]And1zeas for infantry civilization:
“If you see two enemy groups having gap in between then try to counter 1 enemy group with your two groups and it works i have tried it”.

Quote:

4- Which formation to use in archers patrol?

• 4- There is no need to do any formation in archers civilization just normal formation works with all archers civilization unless you are trapping enemy’s units for trapping enemy’s units you can use ‘flank,box , ‘E’ or simple line formation will work too depends on situation.

5- When to change stances in archers civilization ?

• 5- Well you can use stand ground stance with runners for archers .It mostly works with all archers like by patrolling archers towards enemy base in stand ground stance and stop your archers when they full stack and then use 3-4 runners.

When you see enemy using no runners then you can switch your stance from stand ground to aggressive by patrolling your archers back words or side ways and pressing aggressive stance.

Never use aggressive stance if enemy is using a lot of runners .

And if you really want to use full aggressive patrols then you need a lot of runners like every where runners and try to distract enemy as much as you can but i will recommend beginners to avoid aggressive patrol with archers the simple thing you can do is patrol on stand ground stance and use runners in front which is used by most of good players.

Quote:

6- How to stack archers?

• 6- Patrol your archers and when they get full close to each other stop them , if first time you cant do this then re patrol your archers again and when your archers get close to each other stop them this will need practice to be good at this.
  Quote:

  *Tip by [xCs]CaMp2gg_ for Archers civilization
  “Do not forget to use runners they are the key to win many people underrate them but they are more important then stacking the units “

Quote:

7- Is there same patrol technique for every infantry civilization?

• 7- Yes mostly there is same patrol technique for all infantry civilizations , just a timing difference of changing stances which you will learn by practicing and with experience

Quote:

8- Is there same patrol technique for every archers civilization?

• 8- Yes mostly there is same patrol technique for all archers civilizations , sometimes people use mongols and Mayans differently but it doesn’t matter the thing that matters is , in which thing you are fast and control your units good.

Quote:

9- How to beat good players?

• 9- Well to answer this question i will leave you with a quotation by Riven.

11- How to deal with aggressive patrol using stand ground?

Quote:

12- How to counter camping?

• 12- If some one is camping try to attack from side where his units are less with your both groups by using runners and if he is using no runners then change your stance to aggressive

Quote:

13- How to micro units?

• 13- Well this is not easy question to answer and player have different type of microing style so we put together some players quote:
  DeJected_R_ says: manual hit and run , do tricks to gain an advantage
  [7th]W0LF____ : Micro is just about how fast you are , it needs speed and control .

If you are FAST enough in hit and run and have good CONTROL then you can micro good and you can only learn micro by PRACTICING as much as you can .
[xCs]CaMp2gg_ : Micro?

its just about reaction, think fast and try counter whats your enemy doing.
[xCs]_sU Just keep running around till your enemy gets mad.

If you dont know what is micro, watch this amazing micro by [Secret]TheViper
