The Kroxigors are actually doing something really important here. They are being a bunch of balance of power to lose by retreating them which triggers the army losses earlier, making it a lot less likely you accidentally get the Carnasaur killed (it probably would have died in attempt #3 if the kroxs had not been there).

I actually use a similar cheese in my legendary very hard norsca campaigns. Losing battles as norsca has a chance of giving you a follower that has the leadership reduction effect. So farming losses as nosca is an actual tactic to build those doomstacks to instarouts enemies via leadership damage.

One of the most amazing things I discover via this channel is cheeses, bugs, and mechanics that CA is rarely clear on, but are, in fact, in the game.

I've had this sort of "broken leadership bug" before, during battles at sea, where a broken unit just decides to keep fighting cuz why not. In my case it would trigger on the AI's Kharibdysses, they just wouldn't actually rout when broken and would keep fighting. After a while they would actually stop being broken altogether...

The ai defensive position is something interesting and huge cheese potential, you can destroy multiple armies with just a couple of units if you are very careful. I just destroyed full skaven army with two cavalery units and a lord to bait one of their units at a time into a deadly trap. You Have to know: NO MISSILE and NO SPELL DAMAGE on both sides are allowed to exist for this to work, so forget yours and waste theirs first. You can heal and buff just fine. But only do that cheese if you really have to, I had to kill 3 armies in a row with level one lord and RoR units, so no choice. P.S. want more tips? ok units that are fast will atack first and will chase you down really far sometimes, and if you fight too close to the army they all will try to attack but if you are just on the edge of their agro they will turn back and forth as if they are not sure what to do so you can keep fighting for a bit longer.

Whenever I think I must have seen all of Legend's cheese now, he reaches under the counter and pulls out a whole other cheesewheel.

Imma say it: this is possibly one of the best Legend videos of all time. It belongs in the Hall of Legend!

Now I want to see MercyTheMad figure out how to get this to happen on like turn 10 and exploit it to get to level 40. Basically the vampire vassal cheese but with no downsides!

Life over death, life wins, death is shit Thank you for your inspiration sir

This is some high quality cheese. Like, fucking artisanal, small batch, locally produced Italian cheese that costs you 200 dollars for a single wheel.

The thing is, I was born without patience, you need patience for most of Legend´s cheese works. I already knew about the retreats, you can use them for arrow replenishment as well. In sieges you can pretty much win with siege weapons only by retreating once you are out of ammo and attacking again. Like I wrote though, I am a very impatient player :).
