They have a higher damage output than warriors or spear warriors, about the same as the Brutes but higher nerve, no waver and good defense with ensnare + stealthy.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496085752361223719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-52608670466273742042016-06-13T12:42:23.399+12:002016-06-13T12:42:23.399+12:00I find that an Ironclad Horde with Phalanx is a pr...I find that an Ironclad Horde with Phalanx is a pretty good defensive unit. As you say, the 200mm frontage blocks a lot of space, and the Phalanx means that knights really don't like charging it in the front. However, De5+ and Me4+ does make a lot of difference compared to your Warriors. <br /><br />It's main weakness is that it is easy to multicharge and not every hammer unit relies on Thunderous Charge. It can also be hard to navigate your own units around such a large footprint. <br /><br />I guess this is one of the strengthes of KOW, very few, if any, units are head and shoulders superior to the rest of their army, there are no units that are Skullcannon/Warlocks/Mournfangs good. I suspect your experiments will find that the Warriors/Brutes/Spears conundrum will have no really good resolution.<br /><br />Game balance in action :)Tanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111345902716591780noreply@blogger.com
