Cygor - What the hell?

[Mistress]

I just went up against a small army with 2 Cygors. The other troops did little to get in the way and I mowed them down reasonablly quickly.

Then I spent about 10 minuets trying to kill those damn Cygors while they sniped me with bolders. one got just shy of 300 kills, the other just shy of 200. And all they did was stand there and throw rocks. The few melee troops that managed to enguage had been reduced to a fraction of this starting numbers and fled right away.

Best way to deal with Cygors is to engage with Lords or Heroes with Archers spread out around. Not that necessarily you can do this as their army will harrass and engage you to prevent. You can try rushing with Calvary or mounted calvary which would likely be more effective, My experience is they are hard to route. Artilillary Units from Dwarves are easy to route. Cygor weekness (my opinion) is that archers can attack while melee is engaged. I recommend Heroes and Lords because they are more durable then regular units. Though if your units are + vs large, use them.
