Strategic use of New Furgon move

[Mumphred]

So, with the wipe, the Furgon got a new attack. Now i know they have had it on legends for a while but now we have it here. And feel free to neg rep me if this is a repeat thread, but I can't find it anywhere.

So the new furgon attack surrounds all you'r opponents units with shrubs. This becomes especially useful against Stone golems, GA's, clerics, chanties and frosties. and moderately useful against mages with high recovery times.

however, it will prove easy to prevent, with the furgon needing to be surrounded by shrubs.

So what formations are going to benefit from this the most, and will we actually see it being used.

For me, the jury is still out on this one, but we will see what happens in the next few days.

It's not as easy to prevent as you think, but often you won't have the time to set it up if you're about to lose a unit and want to activate it. I've been using the furgon on Legends for a while now, and I've barely used the new attack.

I won't criticise you for what you put above because you probably haven't faced it yet, but I can assure you that it has far more uses and very different problems to what you suspect.

The new attack isn't what it is all hyped up to be, and it will mostly be useful in a end game situation. I think this new attack and the berzerker almost match up together, and work well. I have been using a furgon anti, and the BW has proven to be an effective gold unit once again. I would just go out, and kill any unit close by with my bers, DT, knight, whichever, and if one of those unit was in danger of dying, I'd make them think twice about killing that unit by shrubbing, of course, the move isn't really good but decent.

That's my 2 cents.

i can think of MANY uses for this attack, but of course like the assasins new attack i can see that this will be very hard to use.

i have a few questions about how it works, and now that its hear i will be experimenting, after hat i may have a better idea

I just finsished trying it in rev and got called a hacker for it :dry:

Although this move has pros and cons, one, it provides your enemy good coverage from melee units, that being bad.Unfortunatly, Im using it in my anti, And working with it from there

[MokoToko]

Can someone fully explain what it does?

[bobdagangsta]

It puts shrubs all around you oppenents units. It is enabled by growing shrubs around your furgon, and than if one of your units die, you will have the ability to groe the shrubs all around your oppenen so they have to destroy the shrubs to move.

wow thats awsome but that would be to hard to set up and to easy to stop so its not worth trying to do all the time

[razor2007]

Well let's see I just used the new attack for the first time (had seen it on legends, but nto sued it) on FPS. It was in a turtle match.

I had taken out the opposing scout and had de-stoned him, and he was counterattick. I Sacrificed a dying scout and then furgoned, it mad ethe res tof the game unbearably easy because i had taken out his muddy.

Let me describe it fully.

A furgon surrounded in shrubs may use its special attack when it becomes enraged, ie. a friendly MOBILE unit dies. Instead of its standard attack pattern, it then has an attack pattern which surrounds every enemy MOBILE unit with shrubs on each side. The furgon loses any recovery it has when it becomes enraged, so it can surround itself if it thinks an ally is going to die and then wipe its recovery and make the attack next turn. It has a 6 turn wait after using the attack (the exhausted furgon), and does not move aside for friendly units until it returns to normal.

The furgon must have shrubs on all 4 sides to activate the attack. Friendly units or walls do not count.

Thanks for the description Bottle.

what is this new assassin move

[x-useme]

The furgon move is something that you can't realize its positives until you actually use it. People think that it can all together prevent ambusher attacks. In reality, it can't, but it can help.

what is this new assassin move

Word. I think he might be talking about the 99 blow up. But, I'm not sure.

[Buster]

Wish ppl would stop calling that new

[Swartzstrom]

I'm thinking an enemy unit has to kill the friendly, however. I just tried to use it by surrounding my Furgon with shrubs and then hitting my weakened Scout with a Lighting Ward attack. I'm actually trying to get good at the game again, lol
