Topic: Runeriders are not good defenders Posted: 17 Jun 2011 at 05:58 |
Failed defense by Faldrin's forces at Square 500|-500 under attack by Underworld3's forces from 2)Orleans Sent By: System Received By: You Date: 17-06-2011 04:55:16 Two opposing forces clash against each other.
Cavalry comes into its own when able to strike hostile forces at will, and from unexpected directions - and nowhere is this more feasible than on open plains. Lightly armoured spear units, however, prefer terrain where there's some cover available.
Fighting defensively on open plains, cavalry draws strength from the ability to form and reform their lines of engagement depending on the direction of battle, and it is here where cavalry excels.
Your army was driven back and enemy units have taken control of this location.

Not really. Also, they aren't great attackers either... at least not when you throw them against Orc spears on a mountain: Attacker losses: 5,675 units [22,700 experience] Defender losses: 10,960 units [14,500 experience approx.] Attackers: |

Although that is nothing special to dwarf cavs... it is the same for others too... I can produce similar reports of thousands of wasted knights/marshals/deathpacks.
