We're also in the 4v4 game, after which if we win will turn into a sandbox type mode to try out some new tactics and such. That is, if we can beat a team of strangers...

If it hasn't been answered previously does engineer repair go over 100% ? I thought it was a no but someone else said yes. Lets get the myth busters started.

I'm pretty sure it does... Never gotten to do it though. I had a 100% repair rate. However, drills killed by King/general/war hero don't repair

This video is for TW2000 - sorry it's low quality, but shows me eliminating one player, then deliberately gifting my queen so my princess at AUSICH below turned into my new queen. Totally caught my opponent off guard at the time.

Wow lol great!! What did you actually need the queen flip for though?

Took out pink while he slept. Made sense to move onto the next target as quickly as possible and hold the element of surprise.

I had a hypnotist that eventually reclaimed my old queen but in this game I didn't need the safety net. It was a fun move! wouldn't do it all the time but here it saved time and kept up the momentum.

In a perfect world where I have lots of hires I really like the "General swarm". If you can get 2 generals then every specialist you own is a war hero plus thier additional effect. Then you can hire assasins to maximize the benefit you gain. This stratagy also works on defense as well making it a good benefit to choose. The only problem is that this will take 5 hires without any shenanigans but I really want to try going for this stratagy sometime. Maybe in ESG.

In one game, i was down to two outposts, everyone around me had kings, and I sat there for a while with nothing to do. However I soon acquired 3 generals and started my attacks. Sent all my generals 10 mins apart (only because they were at the wrong outpost and this was the easiest way to move them back). Then sent a navigator, followed by intel officers every 30 mins. Generals hit, did damage, and my diplomat retured them home. Nav freed them, hit the base and came home again. Intel follwed behind that, freed the nav, and took out another 30. Turned the nav around and took even more. In the end, I got the outpst and didn't lose a single driller.

TL; DR: took 200 drills without losing one, generals are amazing
