Although for some people (which i happened to know who), begin their quests as tree tag lover by playing infernals, for most people, they learn to become a super-ENT, before learning to become a super-COP. So here is your path to become a one super-ENT:
1. Playing build and get rich.
This is the standar style of playing ent. You build fast, and get rich fast. But try not to focus on the money itself. Once you have enough money, then build barrack as quickly as possible. Don't wait until you are the last ent standing. By that time, it will be difficult for you to dodge the infernals pursue. Try to spread your farm accross the map, so it will be harder for the infernals to guest where your ent is. Build invisible tree and make yourself invisible before moving around the map. Also build tree of life and learn true sight skill. This is very important when you move accross the map, so you know where the sentry ward lies.
NEW TIP: I never mention how to build fast before. Here it is how: (thanks to KsatriaKOPI for giving this idea) the most important in building fast is the sequence of build. First, build 4 farms, then upgrade to greater resource farm at least 3 of them. After that, build barrack, build trapper, build aura tree to fill up the trappers mana (don't forget to turn on automatic mana restoration skill of the aura tree). With at least 5 trappers, go and rescue your captured commerates. You should be able to do all of these in less than the first 10 minutes, if more, then you are not doing it right. At this time, the infernal probably would only have 1 Neclace of Spell Immunity, that means, find the other 2 infernals and trap them. You do this, then the end for infernals, because only 1 can move around (the 1 with Neclace of Spell Immunity). You could rescue your friend, or whatever cos you own the game now. For example, see the replay section with the title of: Example of how to build fast (Thx to KsatriaKOPI for the trick), submitted by superhero.
2. Playing massive basic tree.
Basic tree can be build without any cost. This gives certain advantages to the ent. You can block the paths with massive basic tree. This will give infernals a hard time to unblock their paths, which can give some extra time to your ent commerades to build fast and get rich. The lesson in massive basic tree is that you can't do it halfway. It will only give the infernal a quick level up. If you do decide to go massive basic tree, then do it all the way to the end of the game. Try to hide some of your farms while doing massive basic tree. So that you can get rich as well. Once you are rich, build tree of life and use advanced builder to substitute your real ent to go crazy with massive basic tree.
NEW TIP: the idea of using basic tree is to know exactly where the infernals, because they will be busy cutting down your basic tree. So here is a funny trick, when the infernal cut down the basic, you quickly replace them. So you move around and like playing head and tails with the infernal. Build sentry tower at intersection (if you have money), this way you will know which intersection has sentry ward.
3. Playing hide and seek.
Againts super-COPs, sometimes you just need to hide and never build anything. Find yourself a nice hiding place, and stay there till the rest of 30 minutes is over. If you have good ent commerates, you might get lucky and not being discovered until the end of the game. However, if you are unlucky and by 10 minutes, all the ents have been killed, and you are the last ent standing, then ... start praying. Because it's a very little chance that super-COPs will not be able to find your hiding place, giving them the time of 20 minutes to search the entire map. So using this trick against super-COP is not recommended.
Some basic strategies:
1. When you are hiding, it's best not to build anything, including invisible tree, because they can be detected either using sentry ward, gem of true sight, or demon scout.
2. When you are being pursued, try to block the road with basic tree, or even better invisible tree to slow them down.
3. Make your paths between trees, it will be a good escape route when the situation get hot.
4. Remember that sentry ward, demon scout, gem of true sight cannot penetrate even a single tree, just to find your ent. They can penetrate, however, all types of your buildings.
5. Get your hands ready for blink short cut (T). Whenever you feel there's danger, always blink. Especially if you got revealed by Crystal Ball and there's Burnin besides you, quickly blink, otherwise you will end up kissing with the sweet and tenderness light coming out of Burnin shockwave.
6. Your ent can get into tanks and escape with it. Tank can hide inside other tank, and then hide it inside another tank and so on. There's no limit how many tanks can be hide inside another tank. (thanks to Cel for experimenting with it).
7. When you are short of money, build one traper, make it invisible, and try to rescue your commerates. If you have more money, build trapper also, to slow the infernal down. If you have enough money, build lots of tree fighter, they can certainly slow infernal down. Massive tree fighters can give a headache to the infernal.
8. Trapper and Nature Lover (regrow tree) can be a deathly combination to infernal that has not get Neclace of Spell Immunity. In fact they can hold the infernal until the end of the game.
9. Tree Fighter and Nature Lover (regrow tree) can be a deathly combination because Tree Fighter has skills to summon another tree fighters, then use the regrow tree from Nature Lover skill. With this trick, you can multiply the number of soldiers fast.
10. For me, always choose purple color ent for it is more difficult to see in the map.
11. Try to put your ent as far away from all your buildings. This will give you sometime to escape when your buildings are discovered.
