 Topic: Sword dudes

So it seems as a dwarf, my T2 sword dudes are the best unit (excluding cavalry) however I've noticed they also die the most. Currently my army has 3 divisions, one for spear dudes, one for arrow dudes and one for sword dudes. The last time I sent my army at something 3 spears and 3 bows dies however 5 swords died. The time before that is was 1 spear and bow and 2 sword and the time before that it was 15 spear and bow and 37 sword. Is there a way to reduce their deaths or am I just going to have to deal with their high deal rates?

losses are decided by %s so if you have a larger number of swords you will always lose more

Brids17, your reasonning is wrong; adding more spear will only make you have more spear casualty, not lower sword casualty (unless you take into account that the overall aditionnal force will make you get less overall casualty). The game doesn't alloy you to put some units in the front line to protect other type of units.

No. Vot hyu should do is spread dem out equally over five commanders. Since losses are rounded down, hyu lose a lot less troops dat vay.
And ultimately, remove all sword dudes from harmy. Den hyu lose no more sword dudes!

I am new and I could be wrong here, but I'm guessing you should factor the total amount of losses, not the losses taken by one troop type, as to how successful your battle was. What I'm saying is, if you have more sword guys, and more of them get killed because you have more of them, that might not be a bad thing. If you used a majority of a less favorable troop type, a higher percentage of those would then die, but overall your total number of casualties would likely be higher as well. Something to consider.
