Teammates will not always let you know what they or the enemy is up to. If you see your teammate is lacking in recon, step in and do the recon yourself. Your Teammates are youHelp your teammate as
if they are yourself. Do not be cheap when sending reinforcements to your ally by holding back because you want to save them for yourself. Typically good teams will send all their units to save a town if the entire enemy team is attacking it. If only a few enemy players are attacking a town you can send less allied players to save the town. Don't be afraid to use Town Portal ScrollsDon't ignore attacks just because you don't want to use your Town Portal Scroll. You can always buy another one. Defend townsDon't ignore attacks on your towns and expansions. Whenever possible try to defend your town. You'll find it's often easier to defend your town than try to take an enemy town while it is away. This is because you can be training new units at your base, and allied bases, which can eventually overcome the enemy attack force which is further away from their base. Use FollowUse the Follow feature to keep up with your teammate when doing a joint attack. select all your units then right-click on a teammate's unit. It is important to tell your teammate that you are following so they will make sure no one falls off the train. TowersYou can build some towers as defense in your town but don't focus too much on building towers. As the number of players in the game increases the less effective towers can be as large armies can easily overcome large numbers of towers. Don't go tower crazy. You can build a large amount of towers
and the enemy can easily destroy them with a few Siege Units (Demolishers, Glaive Throwers), or spells such as Earthquake. If you are losing don't attempt to build a lot of towers to save yourself as this rarely results in reversal of power against good players. Instead focus on building more units, concentrate your forces, and attempt to overcome the enemy army. Use hit and run attacks until you can whittle the enemy down.
