Archers like Dogs

[Mr Frost]

Just run over the wardogs with cavalry before they reach your lines , they bunch up for a few moments then drop like flies ; once they start to drop , it's like they don't exist any more except as visuals that fall over dead . It happens even faster when the unit has routed .

With my R: TW, when I target the handlers my men go after the dogs too, so I see no probablem there.

you must be talking about BEFORE the dogs are released, or when the dogs are still near the handlers.

Dogs are a pain when attacking a city . They chew at least half of one of your units if not all (can you say breakfast?). That's why the first thing I protect are my precious archers.

When attacking a settlement, i just use my defensive unit to soak them (then they engaged, they are vulnerable when you run them over with your mass of troops, especially cavalry).

In the open field, if possible and convenient, I let them chase my cavalry into the red line, then I withdraw the cav.

Other than that, I try to take them out before the dogs are released.
