    Thanks for pointing that out. I overlooked that part. On the other hand, it's going to be chaotic.
    1. The original OP is not even clear with his puzzle.
    2. Cusheth's answer is not even the best.
    3. When the posts get plenty and with several 'defenses' posted in between, then suddenly someone would submit a best if not just another answer to a defense puzzle that has been mired in between the myriad of posts. Not everyone will be following this thread and most if not all those new to the thread won't take the time to read all the posts.

    i agree....but it is up to the OP to govern his own thread, seeing how he started it with the idea of it being a game. he should be editing his original post accordingly and keeping track of whats happening. that being said, i like the idea

    Of course the defending hero didn't change, but The attacking hero did, as it would in an actual situation. If you land those attacks, even with scouts between, you more than likely wouldn't use the same hero, as you may well have present them, and just scouted in the middle. I think this is cheaper than cush's method, and it's just as effective. The rams are very important, mostly taking out the layers, and slowing down the CD. After that the Cataphracts take out the rest of the Pikes/Swords, and, well the two mech waves speak for themselves.

    I came up with the waves, and then put them into Evocalc, tweaking them a bit for the heroes.

    Jeffrox- Added some new details on the OP.
    New posters specify their details if they break the puzzle. I will post the current one on the OP when i decide who did the best.
    People keep posting on the OP defense, not whichever is freshest in the pages.
    If you're going to post one, please read the OP first and make sure you post a good way to break it too lol.

    i believe the purpose of the first post being a cd is dispelling the myth that it takes far more troops to kill a cd, than the troops in the cd. Ive quite clearly proved that myth to be incorrect.
    Nice work mate

    Thanks. Finally, you came back to iron out some kinks of your thread.

    Ah ok. So, you have the discretion of judging the best answer. It will be reasonable if you lay out how you make judgment. A set of criteria will be most helpful as a lot of those interested and objective-minded players might question your ability to do so. I'm not going to lie to you, I'm one of those who doubt you.


    People keep posting on the OP defense, not whichever is freshest in the pages.
    Wouldn't that be a confusing? You're making the previous posts almost meaningless (unless your intention is to gain more views). That's just my opinion.


    If you're going to post one, please read the OP first and make sure you post a good way to break it too lol.
    In one of my posts, I essentially gave an answer to the new defense unless you haven't figured that out yet. Whether that is good enough or not, you be the judge as you would want it to be. I can give you troop numbers but it all boils down to the principle behind what Cushseth is trying to emphasize.
    My reply in bold and red. I truly appreciate that you made a thread like this as I also intend to make an attack-oriented puzzle.

    I do realize I was a little late- been very busy the past few days. Sorry 'bout that

    If you doubt me (which is fine btw, I understand that) than we could find some other way of voting or something.
    How about people PM their new defenses to me (and this is up to him) Jeffrox instead of posting? I won't add this to the rules yet but this would clear up the thread a bit from the new defenses being posted.

    I guess I could keep the old defenses up on the OP and just label up to which post # the breaks were posted on for that one, but it would make the OP kind of long. I definitely appreciate your suggestions since if there's one posting about it I'm sure others are thinking the same

    Jeffrox, how long do you think we should keep each defense going for? (Perhaps a certain of post, or days or something?) That ways we could have an idea as to when to judge them instead of just randomly doing it. If you want you could PM me with your idea of the best ones at that point and we could work together to judge them.
    I like the way slicendice arranged his, I think I'll make some adjustments to the OP to just make that a general format.
