Militia Dark Age disruption plan
A small Militia group is primarily an early disruption tool: it can idle exposed workers, reveal defensive choices, and delay walls even when it does not secure a Villager kill.
Overview
A small Militia group is primarily an early disruption tool: it can idle exposed workers, reveal defensive choices, and delay walls even when it does not secure a Villager kill.
Plan and execution
Train only the group your economy can support, then send it with the Scout toward an exposed resource or walling route. Use the pressure to learn the opponent’s opening and create a brief window for your own economy to develop; withdraw once Town Center fire or walls remove the opportunity.
Risks and adaptation
The Militia line is weak under Town Center fire and cannot win a long early fight. Do not keep reinforcing a failed raid or sacrifice the Age-up and Villager economy for low-value combat.
