Plea for help exterminating stinking Camels

[Galapagos]

This thread was opened at the request of Andres because he is afraid to do it himself...

[woad&fangs]

Peasants get a bonus fighting camels. Use lots of peasants. Why isn't there a camel smilely?

[Andres]

I plead innocent on all charges.




"I know noooo...thing."

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

It seems like I should be a bit more careful with what I say around here.

[Shieldmaiden]

Well... Camels can't pull Chariots.

Therefore, I am against Camels too

[Csargo]

OH NOES. This won't end well.

[Warmaster Horus]

Ya know, I'd change this topic's subject before Mithrandir shuts it down.

[Galapagos]

Well...The topic's subject is changed.Now this topic is about methods to get rid of this camels.....Like tactics and what troops to use against the camels...

[Warmaster Horus]

No difference.

Shame on you, Galapagos, for having tried to assault such a holy animal

[Galapagos]

[Andres]

Maybe we can avoid letting this turn into a spam thread by actually discussing anti-camels tactics?

[Martok]

Hmm. I see a couple people here who've just volunteered to help clean out Mithrandir's stables. And Andres, you in particular should know better by now. Perhaps taking away your trowel and making you use your bare hands (again!) will teach you a lesson....


As for actual tactics one may use against them, I find that simple archers do a pretty good job of thinning out their ranks -- camel units are generally vulnerable to missiles, including plain old arrows. Otherwise, I usually try and pin camels down using 2-3 squadrons of light cavalry.

[Chaos Cornelius lucius]

I've also found that archers do a very good job against camels. Target a few missile units on them until they are reduced to half strength and then overwhelm them with cav, they will soon rout. Or make use or fast HA to thin them out.
Or you could just try and play a faction that has camels

[Caius]

Just use fire in arrows. Camels are so coward that they run away inmediatly, ashamed!

[El Diablo]

Whilst the beautiful camel beasties can be hard to take care of I have always found that Chariots are worse. Other than camels do not run amok.

As previously stated arrows are the trick - barring the camel gunners from M2TW they are tough!

Ohh and as an aside did you notice that Andres avatar looked identical to the picture of "Meester fall-twee, meester fall-twee" he just posted.

Coincidence? I think only Fox and Mulder will ever know!!!

[pevergreen]

Have i earnt a promotion yet Lord Mithrandir? Perhaps?

[Martok]

Have i earnt a promotion yet Lord Mithrandir? Perhaps?

I've officially made you my Deputy Overseer. Congratulations!

[Caius]

You deserve death!










At least in my mafia games

[Mithrandir]

Just use cavalry against camels...lots and lots of cavalry...

[naut]

I was under the impression that there is no way to kill the noble camel.

[Motep]

Do not kill the camel. The camel is a good creature.

[Xehh II]

CCAmwle are uselees, anything can kill them, unles they are Camel Gunners, if they are Camel Gunner, they kill everything.

[pevergreen]

Hmmm

Two things

Camels = > you

Camels are.

[Shieldmaiden]

> Camels.

The Four Camels of the Apocolypse?

The Trojan Camel?

"My kingdom for a Camel?"

Exactly, no!

Trebizond Archers will sweep the floor with camel guts. Any elite foot archer will because they have a longer range

[Gimli]

Personally I am mostly in contact with aforementioned camels when I am the Byzantines. I have found that trebizoid archers do a fine job against them, but also that Byzantine Infantry -v- camels isn't such a fun fight for the camels!

[Motep]

Once again, I must urge you to leave the camel alone. Kill geese instead, we have plenty (way too many) of them over here.

[Abokasee]

the first one there is out of line



Moving on to killing camel

Shouldnt kill camel

Because they help Beudoin

And Beudoin like camels

Im not sure if Camels like beudoin

But they get along

So if you kill Camel

Beudoin kill you!

[Gimli]

Once again, I must urge you to leave the camel alone. Kill geese instead, we have plenty (way too many) of them over here.

If you wanna kill something with four legs, we gots LOTSA whitetail deer in NY! Altogether TOO many! They seem to enjoy attacking the front end of cars though...

[Fate]

If you wanna kill something, come here, thin out some of the locals, theyre all good for nothing!!

And yes, i agree with Shieldmaiden:

Word!

[UltraWar]

Killing one of God's Desert Disciples is against the teachings of the Pope! Anyone caught killing such brilliant creatures will therefore be excommunicated for their aggresive attitude against UltraWar's God's Decree.
