I find that monk may be mixed isuues between "How to make Cage units survived" and "How to make farming useful." Sometimes they are totally different. To make Cage units survived doesn't mean that farming works.

btw i think that if u build the amount of corals so the cage units survive specials
(i think 7 are the max needed only vs 3+ starfalls)
the cage can do gr8

but it is new concept and need testing and practise to see wich is best

Well, what i know is farming only works for countering killing specials, or maybe city of magic also.

But not too effective against AoE specials (volcanos, tidal wave, starfall). Although with 2 or 3 coral, also works. This tactic is not good when opponent doesnt mass killing specials, and u will have a lot of murlocs having a lot of free time walking around

you only need the full 7 corals if they build like 5+ starfall, so actually it costs less than the starfall.

hmm i think "full set" is 3 starfalls (for 4 in way)
and if u think that 7 corals are much u need to add all kill specials that they build

btw: i dont think that farming couner Ancient Pyramide because of long effect + low cd 40/7
+ Tidal Guardian is unharm from farming too so naga get realy strong

In this way, you rally the murloc hut to spawn units all the way to the bottom left of the map. If your ally building is a unit producing building instead of a special, rally it to the top right, so units that spawn from that building will not get trapped.

Wrong Way

^farm area

You cannot switch the ally building with the murloc hut, as shown in the wrong way diagram. As murlocs spawn, they will bunch up to the right, because they want to travel to the right towards the eastern castle. If the area directly to the left of the murloc hut is completely occupied, new spawning murlocs will not be able to be spawned inside the box.

Lol,its not necessary at all farming that way.
I found a kind of bug thats very usefull for this situations,the units after spawned try to go to the lane,and if you dont state the spawning point also,but if you state it they appear in the part wich is nearer to the spawning point.Of course after it they go to the lane,but this is usefull to cage units in lategame when all is filled and you need to farm.

Think about it,its very important in some situations

Masoj, I have no idea what you're talking about and i doubt anyone does.

On a side note, i was just almost finished with a huge update, but then my browser died -_-.

so if i type somthing long I never use a browser but any text program in my case WordPad or Notepad

I think he's trying to say that if you manually set the spawn point it will appear at the point nearest the spawnpoint.

Masoj · **Joined:** Sun Jan 06, 2008 8:56 pm **Posts:** 355

Yes.
Sry for not answering,but I didnt saw this thread and the next day didnt apeared as new

Ok, i understand what you're saying now. I know how to rally units. It's just when the farm starts growing all the units will start to congregate to the right of the farm. If you built it the wrong way, then units will start spawning outside the farm. So yes, it is necessary to farm this way.

Reread this part again:

You cannot switch the ally building with the murloc hut, as shown in the wrong way diagram. As murlocs spawn, they will bunch up to the right, because they want to travel to the right towards the eastern castle. If the area directly to the left of the murloc hut is completely occupied, new spawning murlocs will not be able to be spawned inside the box.

quite old topic but, is this still possible to farm in v.13? I couldnt make it coz creeps allways get away after few seconds.

Its possible. I think there is a replay. In this replay you can see a big farm built by curi. I built some vulcanos and serpent wards. Creeps were running around because of vulcano and serpent ward effects so the trigger couldnt be activated and creeps were trapped in the farm. There were some coral statues ofc.
