I will give a quick example of a game Arma and I played vs a couple aka's yesterday, most players would have looked at the game, and said, "No way Arma and VIPER will win"  The other team had a couple hundred monks, 100 assassins, 20 knights, with probably a hundred or so cats, maybe more, and Arma and I were not doing the monks/cats, simply walling up what little cats we did.  Long story short, we took our faster army, (Knights/HA no shields) and a few fast assassins, stormed the edge of their castle, dug our kings for safety, knowing our castle was about lost, and beat them to the punch.   They proceeded to call us noobs.  Is it noobish that we had a stratagy to overcome mass monks/cats when we were not doing them ?  No, we simply let them come to our castle walls before we made a run at winning the game.

I am along the lines with HL, I myself don't make it a habit, though I have had to do it a couple times, you will never see me do it first.  I find the best way to deal with those monks/cats is making making cows fly :)  Monks drop like crazy with 2 or 3 cows in front of them.  Also trebs will take out cats, with or without monks, knights will clean up the rest.
