Greenskins

[Salke]

Am I missing something,what is special about Greenskins (goblins) Is there any more use of that cute little Goblin keeper?

A small description in game says seek legendary goblin matrons now I m not sure what that is.

Any hints on how to play them?

The Matrons are the succubus of the Greenskin faction. You have to go on a little adventure to find and rescue them, but afterwards they mate with your minions to produce elite minions: the kaboomer, the chickenmancer, and trolls.

Mostly you play them as you would the mage or knight keepers, except that the Goblin King is a useless little fella. He gets no training of any kind and is pretty weak, so keep him at home writing poetry and sleeping with the matrons after you find them.

Your assault force will be composed of mostly goblin warriors and goblin archers, goblin guards are meant to be a defensive force (and prison guards) with their "added stats in home territory" trait.

As with other keepers, there's a balance between army size and quality you'll want to deal with. Making high end enchanted gear is expensive in terms of gold and materials, plus there's elixirs and such. I tend to go with a small, elite army these days and focus on maxing out their combat stats as much as possible.

So it's just goblins natively? That's a pity because normal "Greenskins" usually refers to a mix of orcs and goblins. Oh well, but it also seems like they get the more advanced goblin units like archers and I'm assuming guards that the classic keepers don't have access to.

Also have a question about unlocking them. I know the normal way is supposed to be capturing the king and torturing him, but last night I cleared out a goblin town as an adventurer and that seems to have somehow unlocked them for me.
