1) you talk about surviving. What can u make fast enough to counter a norse rush? Idealy the best option would be archers since, when spammed, own basicly all norse units. The big problem with surviving is the surviving part. if you go for massed archers you will only be spending food on villies and possibly eco ups, the first targets of the average rush, taking down ur eco big time
2)how do u plan ti get to heroic if u are suck defending all the time. If it's a good rusher you will have little to no gold income, but wait! The rusher nightmare, the best way to defend yourself! The Wall! this not only protects ur eco bu also gives a good sign: I surender Map control! it says and ur min's are numbered
3)If you manage to get to heroic, you will be low on gol because an FH does surrender map control and woth your limmited gold you can only make Hops which die horribly to TA.
4)Murms/MU/Heros? With all your defending and extreamly limmited resorses you plan to go to mythic? AND on top of that, plan to make the most expensive greek units available?
Same level or not, any well performed rush is VERY hard to counter
Say NO to non-animated violence.
