For some reason i cant do, 'upload a file' on the topic in general discussion. So im doing it here in the hope i can then link the image on the other topic
sword acrobat, treant, treant, golem, golem
attack with sword acrobat enchantress, 2 dogs will attack your sword acrobat, other dogs wont have reach, then you attack with both treants and golems
i tried with all golems, since they have bonus against dogs. Treants didnt think they were an option since the enchantress would kill them all before i even got close.
Your suggestion is a good one tho, it could work, but since im not too far ahead (101/130 provinces), i would think adding an extra troop to be sacrificed as cannonfodder would not be needed.
Enchantress was dead in 1 turn, so then it was my units wich all had bonus against the enemy, against the dogs. You would think that would be a piece of cake then.
enchantress would attack sword acrobat and not treant, and having treant as meat shield and golems behind will make you survive longer, treants are good for their retaliation damage a.k.a. free damage, which golems dont have
dont think the meat shield would do much? since golems have higher initiative, they will be attacked first by the dogs, and there is no corner or terrain that would allow to make a wall.
there is a difference between full surround and attack from 1 side which is possible on plenty of maps, if they cant reach golems they will fight treants
on your screenshot you fighting against 5 dogs and it can be possible to move to position so only 2 dogs can hit your golems
One of the settings was wrong, this should be corrected now. Thank you for letting us know I'll archive this thread as "not a bug" now for it isn't a game bug
