I havent seen them at all in any games i've played for a long time. They're my good luck sign. If the enemy player is massing frosties, i win! :worship: :banana:

Well we kept battling with his other ally and we didnt know about the ud's new base, sooo outta no where comes a mass of frotys!!!!! killed us...... Ya Ya i know, should have scouted. Save your "breath"

Forst Wyrm massing is only good in FFA. A good player in solo/2team that spots massing Wyrms can be more prompt to counter, where as in FFA you have to counter 5 other players.

Thats what i meant, as in 2v2. Though they are good, they're easily taken down with sufficient aa.

Mass frosties works in ffa and ud vs orc, but just about anything works in ud vs orc if you don't tower.

Massing Frost Wyrms is cool. However, you will lose. ;)
They're about the worst units against AA except the Chimaera.

Anyone who masses anything will find that they're leaving themselves open to an obvious and easy counter. It's always good to mix your army with all sorts of units so that they compliment and cover each others' strengths and weeknesses.
I usally mass gargs with tri hero in FFA, or garg/forsty..But i never really just mass frostys.

Bah Not really. They attack alittle slow and about 15-20 rifle men could kill them. They take so much money and take along time to make. But there a nice addition to an army if you have other units. I usually build like 2-3 and put em in with gargs,aboms,stats,necs,etc.:devil:

Ehh, bad idea frost wyrm massing is bad because of spells that bind them to the ground, then kick the crap out of them with long range weapondry

Happens all the time in 3v3 on big maps with more than one undead on one side. The other undead players mass fiends and statues and destract while the other gets a fast expand and goes to wyrms. Once they have 12 wyrms making an army frozen cold, the 3 of them can own so bad T.T. FFa wyrms work but they are harder to be successful with... Maybe wyrms and fiends/statue combo.
The real fun is when you can get real dragons ^^ on maps with a dragon roost.
2200 hp dragon with chaos damage and devour^^. Imagine what 12 of those beauties could do to any given army ^^.

How about we spin this around a little then...
What is everyone's counter to a player who masses Frost Wurms (for all races)? Here's mine:
Undead: Crypt Fiends with Web Ability (I get this by default anyway), plus statues and other assorted units.
Human: Dragonhawk Riders - use that lasso thingy and they're screwed!
Orc: Those dudes with the Net ability (sorry, mental blank... can't remember the name)
Night Elf: Demon_Child recommends Dryads... does that work?

For once I agree with DC on this. A general rule I use is not get air vs. NE because they counter it so fast and easily.

Indeed. Dryads can't be touched by Frosties since they are immume to all damage from magic spells or magic damaging attacks. Therefore an UD player massing nothing but Frosties in FT will be in for a shock when they are owned by 10+ Dryads.
