Deck Profiling - Nature CCIE - Part 1


So I promised to profile my working army:



  • "Human Heavy Cavalry", - 7 troops

  • "Behemoth","2"

  • "Armored Behemoth","1"

  • "Ballista","5"

  • "Trebuchet","3"

  • "Green Dragon","3"

  • "Wood Giants","10" - 2 troops

  • "Treants", - 5 troops

  • "Fire Elementals", - 6 troops

  • "Earth Elementals", - 2 troops

  • "Elven Druids", - 4 troops

  • "Elven Longbowmen", - 2 troops

  • "Eagle Riders", - 3 troops

  • "Lightning Elementals", - 6 troops

  • "Elven Bear Riders", - 1 troop

  • "Elven Sabretooth Riders", - 2 troops

  • "Elven Saboteurs", - 2 troops

Here are my reasoning for this build. I am heavy Elementals with near 6 of each. I love my elementals, and now with the LACK of an anti elemental card in undead they are still very viable as a theme deck.


I don't run more then a full compliment of eagles. My longbowman are only a set of two, and I use primarily for PvE boss kills. I plan on combining Summon Behemoth, Behemoths, and Elven Sabs for heavy Machine kills.


Unlike Illian, I prefer Fire Elementals to Bear Riders. Mostly a theme difference.


Elven Sabertooth Riders are my counter-cappers.


I only have 2 Ballistas that matter, and only 2 Trebs, the rest are 1s and 2s.


With 7 Heavy Cav troops of various levels, I can throw them away if needed.


And 5 sets of Treants. I will probably go to 6 before I'm done, but I'm probably not worried about it for awhile. Treants aren't squishy really, they live along time.


In terms of levels I try to get everything to level 8 for my main army. Anything lower I keep training in PvE.


Gear, I go mainly for speed, and I've enchanted about 10 items or so, using mostly 16%.


With all the Elementals, I go for Wards of Dragon Might and Boar's Tooth Charms. I have most of the Wards done, now finishing the Charms. On Longbowman and Eagles I use Justice like everyone else.

Did a recon last night on CCIE northwest wilderness just to have a look at your setup.I was quite surprised at how fast they took down my 2 unit recon team(defence buffed beheamoths)!!Nice job on your set up,I could find no holes in it to move through,and when those gatehouses turn stone it will be a deathtrap.Nicely done CCIE.

With walls and untargettable buildings right now raiding is broken.

Take your time to level your troops.
