Bears, why you no kill things.
« on: February 05, 2013, 09:53:43 pm »
Is there any reason why my brown bear army seems so...underwhelming? Even the tamed dogs seem to be doing better at mauling gobbos than the dozen or so mounds of rage and hate that I have tamed.

A vile force of dark'ness has arrived, led by their champion Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way.

Did you train them fo war?
Other then that, you just need more. They can kill goblins, but they need serious numeric advantage, like 2:1 or 3:1

Yeah I believe bears base stats aren't significantly above (or possibly the same as) dog's stats. You just need a ton of them, like previous post said 2:1 or 3:1.

You obviously need more than one bear per goblin.

also using war animals to fight goblins is suicide. Unless you're using an elephant, giant tiger, jabberer, GCS, or megabeast.
