*glares menacingly* *throws Moosing Turtles*

Another favorite of mine is the archer fish + cheetah. Really weak, but it's a fast artillery unit, micro'd properly they can do a lot of damage even late game. Plus they can swim :)

dude these Whaloon's i have are amphibious plus my other late game units are: Gorobsters, Rhinoness' and Ravite Sharks

No.
Moosing Turtle because incredible defense and HORNS. Not barrier destroy.

Y'know Mooselobs have all 3 of those attributes (+regeneration) don't you? lol

Also, fyi cheetah range isn't overly viable in 1.1 and Insect due to how unbelievably expensive it can be. I wouldn't spend 145-160 coal on a lv2 range unit when I can find one that is just as bulky and a whole lot cheaper (ie coyote-any range xdd)

Oh yeah, moose head, duh.
Still, sticking with my turtles.

Or you just use Komodo Turtles. Just saying.
Tier IV, reg, 90 def, poison touch, poison, amphibian.

Coyote is better for cheap scout units, as he doesn't have inert packhunt which makes the wolf more expensive.
In the end the question is always about what do you want.

You can't really suggest a level 4 as an alternative to a level 5 lol. The level 4 will always lose.

Mooselobs are the best because they have horns and barrier destroy, allowing them to do excellent amounts of damage to both creatures and structures. They also have high defense and regeneration, making them last very long in a fight.

Pretty much the only way to effectively counter them is with defile or lots of really strong artillery units.

[the2ndSign]

It's the high def+regen that makes them so good. The melee damage and horns/BD are good, but you can get similar results from other units. It's the combination, really.

You can counter them with elepherines as well.

Well I just did. And I use them for some time now, and nothing that doesn't feature horns can fight those guys. Tier V or not.

[the2ndSign]

It won't work in a real game versus decent players. It's fine if you want to use them for AI games or whatever, but suggesting that other people use them to fight level 5s is silly and misleading.

Also, considering anyone who plays seriously uses Horns at level 5... :p

And immunity to boot xdd

[the2ndSign]

Immunity's less important, but Regen on Mooselobs soft counters Poison.
