Salying Runes - order of slaying

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   when a slaying rune is triggered, which types of unit will it get first (in case of armies, of course)?
the most sensible way would be starting of for the lowest level; and somehow "realistic" as a commander would now to send the weakest first in case of an ambush

in this line of thought, which type of unit, in case of more than one type of the same level?

again, the most sensible thing could be sending the most numerous, but that's not necessarily realistic. from this point of view, swordsmen and spearmen could go first, then cavlary and at the very last archers. but this is very unfair for dwarfs, for example, and positive for elves.

what do you think/know?

	i'd imagine the fastest units would get in there first, so your horsemen, don't know for sure though.

	yeah, i thought the same thing. but i think that horses were sent to break enemy lines from the flanks, not as the leading force. not sure bout that. another possible order could be by army that should be interesting; it would leave US with some kind of choice

	The weakest units die first. In this case: Basic spearmen

	so what about if you don't have any spearmen only archers, swordsmen and cavlery, make that advanced swordsmen and archers so they're all worth the same upkeep

	or do you mean that the unit with the lowest attack value will be killed first?

	If you dont want your army to be killed make up a large bunch of basic scouts and send them.
