Goblin Spam!
You'd be surprised how well it works. You can mass produce them and they cost no income. It works better if there are lots of villages on the map and high gold per villages. You should recruit only goblin spearmen, and 1 or 2 wolf riders.
Re: Goblin Spam!
Like the recruitment idea mentioned here: http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 25#p362425

Re: Goblin Spam!
Something I wondered: which would win between goblin spam and WC spam? I'd guess WCs, due to being cheaper, and having Plague. But i don't know...

Re: Goblin Spam!
We did. Zombie apocalypse ensued. Though as the end of the game demonstrates, against even Grunt spam, it probably wouldn't have.

Re: Goblin Spam!
i downloaded the replay turuk posted, but when i tried to watch the replay wesnoth said it was from another version. i told it to load it anyway, but the file was corrupt (though that's not really surprising). same thing happened with thespaceinvader's replay.

Re: Goblin Spam!
It's not quite that entertaining. As you can expect, WC wipe the floor with gobbos.

Re: Goblin Spam!
while the match itself was not that entertaining, some of the entertainment was seeing someone actually do this. the undead recruit animation was kind of cool too.

looks nice ... on first sightTuruk wrote: And the visual reference here: http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25462
but then i cannot imagine that gobbos wont get totally slaughtered by skeletons
and then the skeletons will level ... and finally ... total victory of undead
i would not spam wc against mass gobbos
The best bet is your own, good Taste.

Re: Goblin Spam!
I myself have used this, only I make 5 grunts, which sneak up along the line, and decimate the enemy column.
Thank you President Bush

Why not? You just keep making more WC on your own then.Mabuse wrote:i would not spam wc against mass gobbos
That is not goblin spam though, which is the point of this thread.cobra wrote:I myself have used this, only I make 5 grunts, which sneak up along the line, and decimate the enemy column.

Re: Goblin Spam!
Why not? It works. WCs are cheaper, can kill a goblin in 3 hits, and keep multiplying.Mabuse wrote:i would not spam wc against mass gobbos
