and if you do it right, there won't be a post-Marian army. Never used dogs myself, though, except when then AI gives it to me, then I'm like, 'but, but I never asked for it!' I do well enough with 10 warbands and four-five units of cavalry of any sort. I'd be a REALLY happy general if someone threw in two units of chosens archers into the bargain. On defensive battles this composition is sure to win you a whole bunch of heroic victories, and even on attack it probably will as well, if you play it on a defensive slant. Otherwise, replace 2 warbands with 2 axemen/night raiders and you've got your warwinning army. Perfect for a Mao army-cheap, spammed and human-waved.
