Introduction (1)
As you know, golding can be hard and many newbs and noobs can suck at golding. This is a guide to those who cannot gold or those who are not good at golding.
Golding (2)
Before you gold, remember to activate your golding ability by right-clicking it before you start gold and remember, golding deactivates your auto-repair, meaning you will have to manual repair by right-clicking a building. Never gold when the titan isn't seen attacking or when his minion is camping unless a battle has started. When the titan of minion isn't in the mound, it means that they or he is either camping around in the mound or he is finding bases, which is hard to tell by the fact that the minion or titan can wind walk or can use a pearl of vision. When chased by the titan during a golding scenario, it is best to use your escape ability which I will cover later.
Minions (3)
If you or one of your partners becomes a minion, most titans will make the minion camp the gold mound, which is a horrible strategy if you or your allies(builders) gain enough gold. If the minion is camping, you should form an attack party with titan hunters or wall him in with walls and attack him from the sides. Another strategy if you have enough gold is to research battle upgrades and strike down the minion with your upgraded builder or titan hunter. After you and your team have created their hunters or upgraded, block all the corners of the mound with the hunters or walls and especiallly the two sides that cannot be blocked with walls. Afterwards, have one upgraded hunter or builder lure the minion to a corner and have the other hunters close in slowly on him and destroy him. If the titan comes in the middle of a Minion Gank, lure him away from your team so that they can kill the minion without losing their expensive hunters.
When not to gold (4)
If you didn't read or undestand the paragraphs, here is a list instead of when not to gold.
1. When the titan isn't seen on the minimap or the damage detector is silent.
2. When you have a unwalled lumber or true base.
3. When you have enough gold for everything.
4. When a minion is standing in front of the mound.
5. When two minions are standing in front of the mound.
6. When your builder is a baser and you have no escape abilities active because of cooldown.
7. When your builder is a satyr and has 175 hit points and the titan is a camping level 6 and up noob.
8. When there are no walls around the mound and you still run towards a corner that the titan has revealed.
9. When there is no more room for you in the mound.
10. When you are a newb or a noob and just started the game. Go hide in a corner and watch people play.
Escape Abilities (5)
When in the mound and the titan is escaping, escape abilities are there like firemen for your burning home. The key to escape abilities is to know if its right to use it. For example, if you have a demon's healing stone as tauren, you can use the stone instead of wasting charge. The trick of it is to save your escape abilities untill you know you can die by calculating the distance between you and walls while being attacked. If your at less than 300 range away from the wall, your home safe. If your 500 range and above, you can use your ability and run away from the titan. If your ally has slowed or stunned the titan, you are safe to not use your ability. If the titan should throw a rock at you, just dodge it. Another trick is to trick jump at the top left of the corner. There are two levels, one being the top and one being the trick corner which is at the right side of the mound with the unbuildable side. Once there or in the corner, build a shelter at your position and you should fly into that small hole. This is a sheep tag trick and can be used to escape the titan. This concludes my miniature guide.
