No offense, but how about you spend more time on each guide rather than make a bunch of cheap guides. Cmon i know you can do better than this.
And if you really want to make the front page, which is probably why you made all these guides, 1 good one will get you there better than a bunch of lower qualitiy ones.

What could I have done better?? I just have been compiling and writing these down (on paper) for a while and decided to post them here.

Leave the guides to Chimera and Manticore.

You probably didn't micro the anubites. If they jump on the archers, make them run away when their special attack gets full again and jump again.

I'm seeing plenty of critiscisim, but no comparisions or suggestions or even what I could do better....

What you could do better is stop writing cheap guides, like your THREE. Although it's nice to see you put some work in it, they are not good. Leave it to ArtemisChimera and ManticoreKiller. They can do the job.

See my previous post....

I agree, the criticism is not really backed up with reasons are arguments or whatsoever. The fact that you posted like 3 guides within a few minutes time probably suggested that you didn't spend a lot of time on them. Also, an introduction and some more details would be nice. Keep in mind human beings judge by appeal.

When it comes to the quality of the contents I think the popular artemischimera's and manticorekiller's guides are not very good either honestly, so if I give you advice on this it probably won´t help you a lot with my deviating point of view.

It´s not written in the rules that you´re not allowed to write these guides, but you know what people are like. Maybe if you come up with something completely new people will appreciate it as they like originality. If you want to go on writing these guides no one can forbid you of course

YOur guides are pretty good, just try to say "vs. eggy" "vs.greek" etc. and what they can be used for.

Thx for the suggestion Cookie Now this is what I like. Not just flaming or saying I can't write these guides like Artemis Chimera(How else am I supposed to??) I will se If i can work on that.

Look about half way down. 5 of my threads in a row are closed, all the same repetitive subject. Thats what all your guides remind me of.
And i did give you constructive criticism. I told you to focus more on 1 guide and make it good, which im sure youre 100% capable of, but these 3 or 4 guides are all useless because you didnt put full effort into them.

It's just a computer game kids. If he wants to post guides, let him do so. They're pretty good anyway. If you don't want to read it, then just skip over it.

There not good.
Here is my critism:
Too many to take in
No intro, conclusion or interesting facts
No upgrades on units
No credit to artemis chimera
Why do a MU guide

why does he have to give credit to ac??? ac doesnt own the format.

yeah.

He can make all the guides he wants, truth be told I kind of like these cuz you don't have to go through all shit to get to the stats...Just pace yourself with putting the guides out, they are just getting pissed because they only do them once a week and you did 5 in one day. PUtting some more insight into them might help as well...No one knows how to give CONSTRUCTIVE critzism these days...

Why do Artemis and Manticore??

Thanks The_Fighter, you've made me feel better about this whole thing. I'M SICK OF TAKING THIS LYING DOWN!!! I TRY TO BE POLITE, JUST POSTING A COUPLE OF MY FINDINGS, AND EVERYONE GETS ALL HUFFY!! WHAT'S THE DEAL?? I'M SICK OF BEING FLAMED!!!! *Takes deep breath and heart medication* *WHEW* Look, I just am tired of all u guys getting all huffy. Just because Artemis is too busy to put out more than 1 guide out at a time, doesn't mean I can't. But, I'll try and pace myself. I'm tired now though....

Add in more information. There's about as much info in this guide as there is in the manual, and we all know how much that is.

Add in more conclusions/thoughts, include upgrades, and maybe use a few 'real' game experiences; like have a full army vs. another full army in one test, and then on the eggy side replace some of the units with anubites, and see how much the outcome of the battle changed. Use realistic armies, ones you'd actually see in the game. More unit information too, attack bonuses and stuff like that.

Thank you for not unleashing your flaming flamethrower on me and thx for the suggestion

I actually think that some of ManticoreKillers guides are crap.
All of AC's are good though.
