Default Re: Juggernauts - how to kill them?

Hi guys,

Thanks for the advice. Just to clear up a few things. This is against the AI. The 4 Jugs used to be surrounded by a huge army but I've killed off most of that army.

In two battles they ended up at my end of the battlefield after squishing my center formations, then going to the flank to squish my crossbowmen, then chasing my fleeing crossbows off the battlefield.

Their MR is really low, but the problem is that they have sooooo many hit points (200 each) that I'd have to cause 800 hp's of damage to kill them. That's really hard to do with fire spells that have a low precision. Incinerate might be a good idea though. Thanks. If I get close enough to hit them with spells like Flare or Falling Fires then they are close enough to squish my spellcasters. They rolled over a Demonbred and a Dragon (620 gold!! to replace those two guys) in my Last battle, so I'm gun-shy to say the least.

Anyway, I hadn't thought of using Militia to occupy them. Maybe I'll try that along with a bunch of crossbows. Shortbows wouldn't work I'm guessing cuz the Jugs have 20 armor.

If anyone knows more details about whether flying troops can be trampled, techniques to use to avoid trampling, etc that would be great.

Thanks,
John
