strategies for HaE2 alpha empire

[grimatoma]

emp defence
put sniper infantry behind each of the walls 2 spaces back u should kill most things that come by.

build near a major city so that ur hero can buy things and other heros will stop by and more prone to protect u

build walls asap then houses.

[FinalLegacy]

heh, didnt think of that one

[grimatoma]

also dont trust a hero protect u at any time or u will die. and if u do make sure u can kill the hero. for those noobs out there

[FinalLegacy]

lol depends who you're counting on
me and blindfate make a hell of a team when he boosts me while i build up a defense

[grimatoma]

ya but still sometimes he might be doing a quest and cant come save u till like 20 sec and that could be ur death

[FinalLegacy]

he's the empire -.-
and i defend him with towers so he wont need my hero to help out
he just gets some anti dragon defense in the back

[grimatoma]

also 2 more straights.

1. spam click the quest givvers they give extra quests :-P

2. build a crap load of wood havesters

3. build 1-2 farms when the game first starts

3 more idea above

Empire is hard in HnE2. I think heroes should be removed when you pick Emp.

[FinalLegacy]

its something that will be changed before going beta

[Coke]

the best empire strategy i have found so far is to not use empires until your hero is strong enough to win anyway

HaE2 empires are too gimped to be useful, a single hero who just does quests the whole time will level unreasonably fast compared to the power of an empire. The only way that empires are ever worth doing is if, like i said, you have the ability to defend yourself for 10 minutes or so while you build as many wood cutters as possible and then fill as much of the map as you can defend with houses. I usually place my town center in the top left corner and fill the nearest 3-4 plateaus with houses. Because you dont need firefighters, spamming lots of houses is not a problem at all, but does tend to cause lag when u look at it. To compensate for that lag i'll build another camp that only exists to make units--- just a few walls and towers defending 4 of whatever building im using to produce guys (sometimes i do inf, sometimes i do tanks). Oh, and researching a mix of all of the unit stats makes them more useful than any 1 research.

--grima mentioned farms and getting 'a crapload of wood cutters'. this seems to apply to HaE1, not HaE2, as your workers are limited and you cannot make farms.
