So a while back, Matre and I discussed the need for new battlefield formations. I mean, just standing in a line above the chat bar gets the job done, but some new tactics might get the job done quicker! 
So far, this is the basic battlefield layout:
When we aren't filling up the entire room, we're forming an unstoppable line at the bottom of the room, while our enemies usually form a line under the clock.
This formation works just fine, and hasn’t failed us yet. But since we just recently had 90+ soldiers at a single battle, I think we can expand our playbook a little bit. And with war just around the corner, we need these changes more than ever.
The Battle Axe and Scythe Formations.
These two new strategies can greatly assist us in any upcoming wars.

BATTLEAXE:
The Battleaxe Formation adds an additional vertical line to our chat bar line, and allows us to get up close and personal with our enemies. The “axe head” of this formation allows for easy and effective Clover Bombs, while the “hilt” remains un-attacked and ready to fire / charge.
SCYTHE:
The Scythe Formation adds a curving line to our chat ba line which wraps around the far left of the Snow Forts. The “blade” of the Scythe Formation serves as a buffer zone against enemy charges, while remaining in the open and gaining many more recruits, aswell as creating a second vertical “front” against the enemy line.

And here’s a fun little poll.
Get ready to test these new strategies out on the battlefield! If you have any additional tactical suggestions, comment below.

March on!

I think the scythe is the better of the two because not only is it a line on the chat bar, but it’s also a line across the left side of the battlefield. Having a line there (right by the exit to the Town), means that you cannot be effectively charged in that region because either the opponent will charge and end up in the Town, or they won’t charge at all so as not to leave the room. Both the scythe and battle axe are good formations though.

I like the Scythe better because it is more complex, therefore it will be hard for enemies to go through and it gives us a wider variety of attacks. It also blocks the path of the wariors from the town. The battle axe is good, too. It is like the scythe except without the curve, giving you the opportunity to attack from close up and far away. It also helps when multiple armies are attacking us.

4th and i really like the sythe.I think it may be a bit more challenging then the battleaxe formation.But hopefully will still be able to complete.
Awesome tacitc ideas Oagal!!!! I really like the Scythe! I think it will help us very much in battles!

And the Scythe also alows the soldiers to defend them more,when they are being charged.It also alows them to stand up to the enemy more,or look bigger.But the Battleaxe is also good!
I had a tactics Idea! It is called the Box Formation! We make a box in the middle and people go in it. The people on the outside do clover bombs while the people on the inside shoot! Please consider this tactic!
the scythe looks awesome, but it’ll take a lot of practice for troops to listen to directions and actually understand and execute it
These were very well thought and planned through! I will start having unscheduled Events and help Soldiers practice this
We should do a day to practice this. It will give us at least something to do. I am ready for something else! I am loaded with army energy
Awesome designs :p
The one where you go into the enemies line is GT’s line breaker! Idc if anybody cares though…Just saying…We had it before this post ^_^
this will help us alot more now we can pwn
Awesome, I like the scythe!
I LOVE THEM BOTH WE SHOULD INCLUDE MORE TACTICS LIKE THIS FOR EXAMPLE the triangle one of ACPS most onused shapes we could probaly form it at next battle 😀
@Chase50- we already pwn, what are you talking about?!?
(I’m back, people!)
Haven’t we been doing the chatbar line for a while now? :l
Besides the stuff you said about the Scythe Formation, it also does a good job at blocking the way out of the Forts. There’s obviously still 2 ways out, but it blocks their way to the Town, which is a vital room to take control of in an invasion. Very good tactics.
Scythe is clearly a better choice becusase you have more control of the room. Blocking the route to the town can help block them off. You can also uleash a full blown charge on enemys,has the battleaxe will take a longer time to charge and the sooner the better. My point is the Scythe offers more battlefield control.
Stay strong

ACP Bob: Good point.
hay oagal quick question can u make a post so we can meet somewhere and practice these formations so at battles we get the idea?
Oagal: That’s up to Matre. He’ll host a tactics session when he sees it fit 😉
I like both of the ideas but. Scythe is a really good formation.Rock on ACP! Till then,peace out
i like the scythe one.We can try my tactic.The plus tactick we make a + on cp so.But we need 35+ ppl
😀
I like the scythe tactic because in battle- im more of a long range firing guy, and if they try and charge us- our troops on the chat bar can immedeatly do a clover charge to the top when the enemy gets in front of them.(Then back to the bottom!)

I think the best tactic is the scytch!
nice work!
I think best tactic is the scytch, Because we can “block” 2 doors from another room= we look stronger ,cleverer and more!
i like both because with the battleaxe we can easily get up close and force some to retreat.while the scythe can block the town entrance and any enemys that may come.
