Arikay's strat for Stampede! on Cracks in the Cloudspine Unit trading: 3 dwarfs 16 bowman 16 Warriors 12 Stygian knights 5 Ghols 24 Thrall If you have a good gholer you may consider trading some thrall in for more ghols. Defence: Set up 1 dwarf and 6 archers on each wall. Set them up to guard the side entrances. Put 8 thrall on each opening, they will act as a slow down buffer to get your dwarfs a couple more shots. You can put the satchels where ever you want but make sure to drop them becuase of fire arrows. Make sure you put the dwarfs very as close as you can to the side of the wall other wise the cocktails will hit the wall and kill your dwarf. Dont put the archers right behind the dwarf or they will hit him in the back. Ghols are very important to defence. Make sure you know exactly where the enemy pigs are becuase this defence cant give protection to all 3 openings. Offence: Take 12 pigs one way and 8 pigs the other way. Take more of your force with the 12 pigs. Go up the sides of the map. When you are ready to put the pigs in have the larger group attack first the after a couple seconds have the smaller group attack the other side. How to move pigs in under fire: Most people try to move the pigs in against the rock (away from the wall) this isnt a good idea. Move your pigs as close to the wall as you can get them (i put a thrall in that position and it took me 4 cocktail throws to hurt it becuase the cocktails bounce away). Then move them at an angle toward the rock, keep that big bump thing in the way between you and the enemy dwarf (with any luck he will blow himself up on that bump). like so: warning very bad ascii art / / / w | r a | o l | c l | k Hopefull you get the idea. Im normally defence so you may have to change attack a little bit to fit your style. Using this defence right the most pigs ive ever let through was 3. Arikay
