great ideas guys ... ill try to unleash my doggies on a siege next time

my only city expierance w/doggies is on defense

after your archers run outta ammo u can unleash the doggies to do a little extra damage while your soldiers stay inside safely
*i had about 500men , gauls attacked me with about 1400 men

plus when defending you can sally as many times as you want in One turn! yes one Turn LOL

so in one turn i had about 5 or 6 sallys

i kept the main soldiers inside; used all my arrows....then unleashed to doggies to wear down the enemy

around that 5th sally i caused the enemy to route with no more than 15 or 25 total men lost while the enemy eventually lost over 1000 men

i did lose a thousand doggies overall *and this might be a bit :uber:
so yes, doggies should require retraining to regenerate

it make my one turn 5 sally defense Very Easy to win...took awhile but still defense was Very easy with this strategy....

just wait for the time limit to go out and re-sally agian

i know...Its Cheap huh ?

but as the Romans i WASNT gonna lose a Roman City to those "hairy mad gauls"
so cheap ya but those gauls dont deserve a victory over Rome now do they


lol if you play as gauls im sure you feel that way about Rome huh
