Footman Wars 2 v9.99 Elite

In one out of 25 games, the Sheep will drop Phat Lewt. ---The Phat Lewt gives an extra 2 gold per interval to the player holding it, and 1 gold per interval to teammates. ---In exchange, the hero carrying the Phat Lewt has its armor reduced by 2 and is clearly identified both on the map and on the scoreboard. ---If the carrier dies, the Phat Lewt is dropped and can be acquired by other players/teams.

Heroes: A good team requires a balance of different types of heroes and teamwork among them. If you're playing to win, talk to your teammates. Proper gold usage: You should typically spend the majority of your gold on upgrades, and some on items. Your hero is the catch, since support heroes put more gold into upgrades, and you should save at least some gold in case your hero dies. You can cancel upgrades to get gold back, but you cannot sell items if your hero is dead. Keeping your hero alive: Run away if you're in a bad spot, and if you can't get away, use a Town Portal. The Center Shop sells additional Town Portals, Health Stones, Ankhs, and other items that will help you stay alive. Getting gold: You are awarded gold for killing enemy units. You lose gold for killing your own or your teammates'. The more units you have (starting at 20), the less gold you get per kill, shown at the top-right corner of the screen. All players receive a small amount of gold over time, which increases as a subtle handicap effect. Orbs: In most games, it is beneficial to purchase one Orb, which should depend on circumstance. Lightning Orb can be used to dispel both enemies and teammates, Mask of Death helps keep high-damage heroes alive, Frost Orb is excellent for assassin heroes, and Fire Orb helps against generic units. Mercenaries: Shadow Priests, Necromancers, Steam Tanks, Mortar Teams, and Doom Guards can be acquired from shops to aid you, each with unique purpose. Trolls, Necromancers, and Doom Guards can all dispel magic, and Tanks and Mortar Teams may be necessary to raze enemy bases.
