If you have magic or fire damage, even better, then you can kill treekin/dryads/wardancers quickly too.

Why dont people do this online more? people respond to one of their units being netted, AI doesnt and will leave the poor sisters of the thorn to be stampeded. Once their deadly bases of laser-arrow fire are gone, return your cav to the frontline and hammer that anvil. Wood elves satisfyingly evaporate after a single charge send other two around target for rear charge.Ħ.

Send two of your four cav directly at targetĤ. Net the target with your mounted light wizard/damsel (overcast Melkoths may also do it)ģ. I divided my army into two cavalry elements of 4 cav and 1 light wizard each my last ten slots was dealers choice of artillery, shielded infantry, steam tanks, handgunners.While my standing army sat there and survived as only cannon fodder would, my two mobile elements hunted the battlefield annihilating waywatchers, glade riders, dangerous looking shrubs etc.Ģ. Wood elf cavalry is fast but cant stand up to some good ole' human heavy cavalry al la Reiksguard or Grail knights. HOWEVER, after another legendary campaign try, I found the WE antidote. I recently played a legendary campaign as the empire and devastated archaon, pummelled mannfred, and crushed Grimgor, then Orion leapt from the forest and swept through the middle of the empire faster than I could recruit armies to stop him. In most 20-20 matchups, the wood elves hold a huge qualitative edge over you. Also, lore of beasts with flock of doom is really good vs squishy elves.įinally, unless youre going super elite with lore of life+cavalry heavy army, then you should be bringing at least 2 stacks due to how trashy your infantry is. Soak up the arrows with shields and then kill them once theyre out of ammo. Otherwise go with super cheap man spam and crank out a bunch of men at arms with shields backed by a handful of cav to beat wardancers. Your archers are not good, pegasus knights are honestly garbage due to their lowish armor and knights errant are a pretty trash tier unit. Generally you'll be best served with grail knights/grail guardians and maybe knights of the realm as filler. Second of all, your army comp is kinda less than ideal to fight them. Well, first off, you don't necessarily have to fight the Wood Elves, theyre usually super campy and not worth the effort. Now here come the wood elf and the dumb♥♥♥♥♥♥has started.Īny thoughts? Im so sick of fighting them im about to chuck the whole game out my window. Originally posted by Blakhart:All I can say is wtf. He seems to absorb cavalry charges with missle infantry like I have never thought possible.Īny thoughts? Im so sick of fighting them im about to chuck the whole game out my window. THey dont seem tor out, ever, even afte rlosing 80% casulties. This has been going onf or about 15 turns now. Archers took out 2 of his units from bowfire and he lost another unit from cavalry - but otherwise he left the battle with 60% of his forces alive and I was down to slivers. The end result was - I did kill his lord. I never once saw any of his units break a sweat on morale. He managed to absorb the shock of both flank charges while pummeling ont he hate with his arrows the entire fight and annihilated my forces. Lord + 1 unit of pegasus knights were used to eat on his Lord and I used the 2nd pegasus unit just to foul up his back line more. I used Knight son both flanks to pin downt he flanks and rush his archers. I used the shielded infantry to come at his front and then my archers to start piling up bodies in his mid/mid-back. My last "battle" i lost like I was some 1st time scrub. Realising I cannot fight them with mass infantry and my archers cant compare etc I have changed up tactics but to no avail. Now here come the wood elf and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ has started. I have been stomping all game over Norse, EMpire, Greenskins, Beastmen and even some Dark Elf armies, usually without much hassle. SOmehow with just their singular cities theya re eachs upporting THREE armies lol.įighting againstt hem in battle is RIDICULOUS.
