    Default Wardogs and Hounds

    What I don't understand is why you have two differant types of dogs.

    Warhounds are heavy handlers.

    Wardogs are light handlers but have hardy handlers.

    What is the point?

    (p.s Which do you like more?)

    I think the only reason for having to different types of dogs, is to make the civilized dog units look different from the barbarian dog units.

    I haven`t tried warhounds yet, and I seldom use either wardogs, nor pigs(they never hit their targets!).

    I Dont think theres any diference between them but i prefer a dog from a barbarian culture as it would probably be meaner.........

    never ever noticed!

    but they are soo useful, they eat up archers, light infantry etc!

    plus if you are defending a bridge when the enemy start to cross, and let them loose!

    Hardy means they're supposed to be tough guys, which means you, the commander, get a nasty surprise when they decide to rout before you've even unleashed the dogs. Heavy handlers means you are supposed to think they fight well, but then get a nasty surprise when they get slaughtered as soon as they even get close to an enemy.

    I don't know much about the difference, but what I can safely say is the fact that wardogs or warhounds are VERY useful. Whenever I enter a city after bashing its gates/walls open, I send in skirmishers and wardogs to take care of the soldiers inside.

    Of course, I'm an utterly incompitent commander, too, since most of the casualities of my battles are self-inflicted when my chariots/cavalry charge through my own ransks of infantry and accidently kill some of my troops!

    I Know! But what is the POINT of having two dog units?

    After those doggies attack you can't control them so maybe the point is in choosing different targets?

    It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
