War Dogs

[Oaty]

They also can be used to cover a withdrawing army

[Beelzebub]

yeah I thought they would be stupid like elephants but theyre actually well done. You really have to think about when to unleash the hounds. If you let them go too early they'll be cut up easily by any organised unit (I told them to attack a full unit of slingers head on and the dogs were easily killed and only inflicted 1 or 2 casualties) but if you release them into a major scrum, they'll do well.

War dogs from the rear can start an instant panic, & they are at least as good as light cavalry at chasing down routers.

I did have a situation where I sent them against a fairly organized unit that I simply had to stop. They did the job I needed them to do, but I lost the whole unit.

didn't they regenerate though ? (or re-bred, or whatever)

Elephants stupid? Explain please... I think they are nice, perhaps they are overpowered but I haven't got an oppinion on that yet (no game yet and the demo isn't good enough for that).

I can imagine the dogs are great for holding the enemy at bay while you deal with something else. Are they cheap?

[Blodrast]

nope, they're 680 and they take 2 turns (at least on normal size units). but my undersntanding was they regenerate. However, I'm not sure if totally from scratch, or at least some dog & bitch couple have to survive the battle...

I never seem to have enough money to afford the dogs. One day when the empire is filthy rich I'll give them a try.
