Okay, I play Thor norse and whenever I go for the standard TA/RC combo, the damn egypt player always wrecks me with slingers and spearmen. I can't micro them very well because the slingers are ranged and my RC have to move through the dumb spearmen, and my TC get eaten up by the slingers by then. Somebody help! what do i do, do i mas ulfsarks then?? ARGH

Try grouping your TA's and RC's in separate numbered groups. Have your TA's in front. Your RC's should be slightly behind and to one side (or possibly both sides if you want to split the RC's into two groups). When the spearmen come at your TA's, use way-points to maneuver your RC's around the flanks to take the slingers from the rear. This may mean moving them around a clump of trees or buildings, but it should give them a decent shot at the slingers, who will be busy helping the spearmen slaughter your TA's. You will probably also be able to get his priests, who are likely just behind the slingers.
