About them dead cows flying around...

Cease your cow-launching if the enemy is too close

I love these boards!

Where else can you read a line like that and have it make absolutely perfect sense?

[Per Ole]

Just to give an example how to use them in bridge battles (and other choke-point battles)


What I do when fighting mongols, is to bring a trebuchet (just 1) for the cow carcass throwing, and then throw it on the far side of the bridge. All his units will be affected, and they will flee like children.

impressive. talking about a bridge of the dead (pity that the dead bodies don't actually fall into the river in the animation)

mine are not as impressive. the AI usually takes casualties mostly at the end of the bridge - MY end. On the bright side, my empire ALWAYS have employment for young, fresh and bright-eyed spearmen...
(keeping the unemployment % low since 1100)

i am not very good with the trebuchet, i found that in siege, sometimes it would missed and hit the MY wall instead (my fault for giving auto-fire), or, in the open, my troops will spend an eternity avoiding the noxious gases, only to waltz into during the fight or pursue anyway. once again - auto-fire and too many (4-5 units)

Personally,I think the fringe benefit of killing the enemy general by decapitating him with a flung cow is one of the funnier things you can do...
