@@LoremasterLiberaster indeed but you can rush 2 armies (one full, one between 10 and 20 units). This has the added benefit of being able to bait and ambush (stronger army infront of the weaker army uses ambush stance, minor income bonus if on enemy territory and the smaller army raids), siege a city with one army and if there is another just outside scare it off or destroy with the other (make sure to have siege attacker tho), with two armies you can do two sack-cities (if you can find the right settlements for that). It's also helpful for that one single settlement faction that sits in it's only bloody settlement with it's entire army and refuses to leave. But yes, eventually you need to either get something to reduce upkeep or enough settlements and money to build an actual economy.

Watching all of Legends Disasters Battles inspired me to start a dwarf campaign with the slayer king as i never could bring myself to give it a try in the earlier days of Warhammer 2 after all the greenskin updates as it always seemed to dissolve into a grudge match but i decided i would try it anyway and i watched a unit of Giant slayers and regular slayer units kill hundreds of goblins each in the early game battles were the A.I spammed nothing but Goblin stacks. the slayer units may be of limited use later on but i think i'm hooked on slayer units for better or worse sorry Mr.Legend.

This just happend to me on turn 16 and they got 3 feral carnosaur, 9 feral stegadon and 3 feral bastiladon. I just wanted to play a Lord Skrolk campaing, but the game didnt like that :/

Imagine this happens to me on turn 12? Well... 1) this army dies for the glory of the great-mighty Horned Rat 2) a new army is hired quick-fast to kill-slay wounded lizard things 3) profit-profit

One look on the thumbnail, and I knew it's going to be rite of primeval glory.

“Hey guys! How should we make it more fair for the A.I, since players are big brain?” “Give them DINOSAURS on turn 12!” CA

Yeah me too get the same problem, last week i play as Khalida .. around 15 or 20 turns, suddenly Last Defender declare war and already near my capital city with thos Dinosaurs... almost full stack of Dinosaurs, and nothing can u do.... imagine ur army mainly consist skeleton suddenly those huge dinosaur with anti infantry abilities roaming and destroy any army i mustered...

Rest in peace Skavenslave slingers. For context I’m from the future where legend doesn’t use them anymore. Truly heartbreaking

Ive always gone slinger spam. They arent significantly worse than spears at tarpitting the enemy but they can put out decent damage in the process (with focus fire and skaven armor shredding options). Slave slinger missile strength is misleadingly low as well. You gotta think that most missile units come with 80-100 models while the slave slingers come with 140. Obviously theyd still lose to an archer stack but you can bring entire army stacks of slaves that cost a total of 500 gold per turn.
