Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Cove's strategy revolves around offensive powers, with troops having excellent attacking skills and Nix and Nix Warriors acting as tanks. Their tactics and strategies often involve Sea Dogs.

Pros:

  • 2 fast ranged attackers, with very nice specials.
  • Strong and offensive units. (Cove units have the highest attack ratings of all towns creatures.)
  • Sea Dogs with their ability can easily kill very strong creatures from a distance, even Undead and Non-living creatures, unlike Mighty Gorgons.
  • Only town with access to the powerful cannon.
  • Native terrain is swamp, which makes it hard for other units to traverse.

Cons:

  • Fastest creature is Haspid with speed 12.
  • Units and heroes relatively low on defence.
  • Highly dependent on Ammo Carts due to low amount of shots of Pirates(4, 4 and 12 shots depending on a level relatively) and Sea Witches(12 shots). It's worse that forced to obtain Ammo Carts from other towns' Blacksmiths or War Machine Factories.
  • A lot of resourses is needed to fully upgrade Pirates. Otherwise, player won't get the Cove's primary unit.
  • Only 2 fragile flying units.
  • Mage Guild is limited to level 4.
