Offensive Strategy

Commandos are most vulnerable to enemy defenders, they won't fight back when attacked by defenders. Commandos tend to charge forward, impervious to towers, this makes them first to be targeted by the very enemy troops that they are most vulnerable to. Because of this using commandos requires a fair bit of attention. But if you provide them the necessary cover they will tear through a base very quickly.

• Try to deploy commandos far from enemy troops, or if there's one garrison or cavalry depot, deploy right next to it to eliminate it first.
• It's often effective to deploy immediately after defenders spawn, the newly spawned defenders will target far away troops and a newly deployed commando can follow in immediately behind them without being targeted until the next spawning round, giving plenty of time to do a lot of damage.
• Avoid generals at all cost, they will trash a commando quickly.
• Never deploy two commandos near each other, if they target the same building they will have the effect of one commando, it's a waste.
• Try to deploy commandos near gates, they walk through gates. If you deploy them by a wall with a gate anywhere in the vicinity they will take a long walk through the gate to reach their target on the other side, this is quite often a troop-spawning, suicidal walk.
• Provide support for commandos using planes/fighters to clear troops.
• Use commandos to eliminate the most dangerous defenses, this is often anti-tank guns and air defenses (since it's critical to provide air cover to commandos).
• With a 2 or 3 commando army it's often advantageous to deploy commandos in waves so you hold back a commando until mid battle. If you deploy all commandos early it's hard to track their movement in disparate locations and provide support, then they can be lost too quickly.
