    Default Pigs.

    Are those flaming piggies of any use?

    They are pretty amazing against elephants, I'll give you that. Nice demoralising effect, but like elephants they may just decide to reverse direction and demoralise your own troops.

    Yep, as pezhetairoi said it, have you ever try to use them from the enemy rear? I will try that later by bring them from the far right or left of the battle map. And it is fun to watch them burn. burn piggies burn.

    I had some rare attempts to use them in battles against ordinary troops , but I didn't have any significant effect.

    no, not ordinaries. They spook elephants best. Using them against others is not, perhaps, so useful.

    Nah, they suck and are hard to insert in the right place at the right time. However, it's fun to use them and yell "cry havoc, and let out the hogs of war" to yourself.

    nice sig... I was referring to that Shakespeare quote... Maybe I got it wrong, perhaps it's let "let slip" instead of "let out"?

    The correct saying is cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
    When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.
