Incendiary pigs

[Hold Steady]

I noticed the option to build Incendiary pigs, I think it was when you build a level three cavalry stable (or was it in the archer/catapult tree?). Well, whatever, I'll see it when I get there, but my points is: are they what it says it is? pigs aflame running roasted on the field? Or are they catapult charges or something?

I'm really really curious about this one..

They are to scare elephants.

The Greeks used them once or twice, thus they are in the game

I suggest playing the total realism mod, then all your pigs problem should disappear. ~:)

Why do we need a hippodrome for streaky bacon?

Well, you don't seriously expect pigs to win a battle against armed humans? Roasting or rare, I wouldn't place my bet on pork.
If it were wild boars, well, perhaps, but I'd like to see the bugger at work making a coordinated attack with THAT.

But seriously, are it really greased or oiled pigs set aflame? you aren't serious?

I think they are soaked in tar ? ~:confused:
