plea for help using the wonderful and magnificent Camel

**Xehh II** · 07-12-2007, 07:01

I really do think that camels, unless the have an angry moorish guy with a gun on them, are useless.
My advice W&F is don't use camels unless they are Camel Gunners.

Bullocks, no unit is useless on its own only in certain ways they are used (except peasants maybe).

I find Incendiary Pigs useless - I've yet to see them actually run in the right direction when lit

Flame on! *Oink*

Yes I agree the pigs don't ever go in the right dierection I tried once but they ran backwards and killed my own army.

YEAH!!!!! I'M A MEMBER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I'm done. I'll try making the horses chase me across the desert next time. Incendiary pigs are useless because by the time you get them Carthage and The Seleucids are usually extinct. I'm going to keep using camels because they only cost 10 more denarii to recruit than longshield cavalry.

Augh...

Never used those. Neither the war dogs.

I find incendiary pigs and dogs very useful when you know how to control them......So just try harder...........

I hadn't played much though.... I find that the war dogs die too quickly.... Apart for panicking untrained, low-morale light infantry units (but then why bother?), I don't know.... I guess they are of some use, considering the price and time needed to train them... Well, what matters most is that the game entertains me, anyway....
