Tughlaq Raider Elephants can self heal and destroy walls- incredible for hit and run and asymmetrical warfare

Discussion

Recently, i played in a 2v2 ranked as Tughlaq, my ally Macedonian, and then our enemies two Byzantines.

They failed with a full frontal assault and I was able to amass a decent force of raider elephants in the castle age. The enemies were actually in Imperial and ahead of me.

But I swung all the way around the map, knocked out multiple groups of stone and gold minors and houses, back and forth, and then retreated and healed thanks to Tughlaq automated healing technology.

After a few go arounds I noticed that they’d made stone walls. I thought, shoot- I have to go get a ram. Then, much to my shock, I noticed an attack option was available on the wall.

So yep, I tore down those walls with my raider elephants, wrecked buildings, back and forth, wasted a lot of resources.

Using these hit and run and precise microing, it’s really hard for an opponent to counter effectively at their base because elephants are so fast and they can heal.

So, if you’re in a team game and your allies are going at it in a main front, run all the way around the map and open up a second front and your enemies will absolutely be punching the air.

Well, that’s your tip of the day. Enjoy!
