tower rush on ei

As an Orc on EI vs Hum, what is the best way to beat the 3 peon rush off the start then to mass towers in your base?

 

borrow?

 

this is a tier 1 tower rush?

 

he mean tower rush without hero

 

You can make fs maybe and with summons, also you have burrows.

 

hahaha

 

Somebody manages to pull this off versus orcs?

 

that may work @ turtle rock with close spawn but not @ echo isles

 

Just stop playing this game!

 

100%lose for human in 1.21
200%lose for human in 1.22

Burrows should solve this.
Even if he manages to get up towers somehow (??).
Just kick workers and kick the towers then.
Should be easy with FS+Wolves+Grunt.
Wtf will he do without a hero ?


 

so the human actually gets 2 losses @ ladder stats?

 

many low / lowmid level players cant counter this strategy, u gotta know what to do

 

This works if the orc isn't used to it or if his buildings layout is inadadapted (or if the orc is bad, but if he is, he'll eventually lose anyway ^^).
It's very easy to counter once you've seen it a couple of times, just remember to go for FS instead of BM.
Then it all depends on the first towers placement: if you can build a viable base inspite of them, then just place burrow to prevent the hum from building other tower closer to your main, and go for base rape. Killing his peasants in your base helps too, but do it quick, before he builds towers in his base too...
If towers can attack your peons or your main, base swap is risquy. Just try to build your second burrow early and place it correctly (in the range of ONE tower works fine). Build a shop quick too and of course far from the towers... Kill the peasants, then it's pretty much tower destroying. Be patient, just save your grunts (also remember that you have pillage...). Then you can expand, roll over his base or whatever, the hum will most prolly leave after the failed rush...

 

Those hints are a good start (or are they? o_0), but you should know that a good human player may have many moves to screw you up (sealed base, 'peasant-box' etc...) ^^

 

easier way: cancel barracks and do burrow instead and place it in range of the towers. U will kill the towers before they are up

 

I lost to this strat recently on ladder (/wrists) but what you said is definitely the counter. The guy who towered me even said so after the game :P

 

I though this works mostly vs elf, but then u just go with dr and it's np as well

 

ignore the towers and attack enemys base
