Goblin Hate and wolf rider armor bypassing

[Astralflame]

Why does it seem that goblins, particularly wolfriders bypass armor so much it's driving me nuts cause these guys wipe my mercs ending a 30+ day run so often. With goblins it feels like either roll or be rolled by them cause they're so RNG dodgey and low morale but bypass armor and you can't manual retreat from them.

After repeated fights against goblins it feels like wolf riders have completely different stats than the regular fighters in bypassing armor. They just feel ridiculous with outrageous movement and how many attacks they get, also the whole kill the rider and the wolf attacks immediately after and kill retreating wolf rider just to get a fresh morale enemy right next to your guy.

I get that they become chumps later game but it feels completely out of balanced that when they should be your proper opponents they feel OP as hell cause they feel like they bend the rules. Rather fight orcs any day over goblins at least they feel consisten with their hit rates, durability, and tactics.

i don't understand why they show up so early if they have to be faced with late game armor. Games scaling is really poor, guess that's why i only play it for short spurts and only early game gets frustrating to boring later levels.

Yeah the game could use some more enemy tiers.

Well bandits are pretty well done, I find them challenging but not overwhelming up to 60 days and +. I rarely max out a brother but later skills seem so over the top i imagine having 3 brothers maxed would tank through most enemies. Game seems too focused on leveling and skills rather than the battles tactics, damn shame cause all the pieces in the game i enjoy other than the perks.

Well, you are right.
Plenty of battle options are hidden behind of leveling. Especially perks.
In fact leveling have tremendous effect on your units fighting capability.
Problem is that enemy forces scale with your company strenght. So You need this perks and stat gain alongside with best equipment to face them.
