    Default ultimate counter-unit against wardogs

    hi everyone, still it is not sure if we will have flaming pigs or wardogs in Rome 2,

    but for the wardogs my brain spilled out the perfect counter unit, effective and cheaper than peasants:

    strolling cats

    what do you think.

    of course this thread is not very serious but would be a good idea imho. i use wardogs very often in multiplayer and campaign.

    This is stupid, why would CA make a fantasy unit when it is well documented that the most popular counter to war dogs was simply horders of feral chipmunks, who's bushy tales would distract the dogs and they would then spend the rest of the battle clustered at the bottom of the tree trading cuss words with the cowardly chipmunks.

    Read a book man, so that you can avoid these shamfrul threads.

    If they did make fantasy, I hope they stay away from the overdone LoTR stuff... Free from the usual tropes of western fantasy (Elves, Orcs, Dwarfs, etc...), I'd like to see something fresh and original from CA...Something that doesn't have anything to do with Dragons too, preferably.

    Wardogs is easy to pick out with horse archers! Versatile units can make the process short with wardogs

    Man-eating elephants would be the perfect unit.

    that's easy: a vacuum cleaner! dog's arch-enemy! I want to see a whole unit of veterans wielding vacuum cleaners to scare off the dogs!
    Look not above, there is no answer there; Pray not, for no one listens to your prayer; Near is as near to God as any Far, And Here is just the same deceit as There.

    And do you think that unto such as you; A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew: God gave the secret, and denied it me?-- Well, well, what matters it! Believe that, too.

    The easiest and cheapest counter for the wardogs would be bones from the dead ones - just don't get
    to close to them while they're at it.

    Actually i have to correct this;

    the best counter for the wardogs which comes into my mind would be:

    Cesar Millan

    I always wondered why there wasent any bear, tiger, wolf or lion units that would swarm the enemy and scare the out of them. The only problem be trying to round up hundreds of lions without them killing off your entire army when you release them.

    Considering my extensive experience dealing with enemy wardogs, my professional opinion on the best counter would be:

    any unit commanded by a smart player.

    I like the war dog,s and no they are not a fantasy unit.
    War dog,s should be put in guard mode placed around artillery units then you have fun!
    Cattle should be introduced, Then we can have cattle raid,s and an excuse for war.

    Of course if we want real fantasy a nice Chinese Dragon Unit swooping on your enemies and blasting them with fire would beat Onegars any time.

    Hey, I'm still PO'd that I didn't get to teach those filthy taira a lesson by releasing a herd of oxen onto their formation .


    If I don't get to break out of a Roman trap using oxen with burning bushes tied to their horns (as historically happened, I'll let you find it out) then I will give CA failing marks across the board.
