Nice one! Now do more! xD I can't comment on Deamons and Chaos Dwarfs, but the Empire starting lineup 100% fell into the imperial trend of the recent DLC to lose the game by grossly overinvesting into shooting^^ 5 expensive pieces with 4500 total cost is just too much^^ I think the right call vs bolt throwers would also have been to bring replacement long rifles instead of cannons. They get shot slowly and can be hidden in forest during marching up phase of the game. You noticed their damage (consistent with other jezzail types into elf HP q.q). They don't need too long. I agree with your comment on the dragon, that it wasn't right to try and kill it there. But I find it important to have things on the field that can actually threaten to kill the dragon to prevent it from going completely crazy on your backline, like it did here.
Thanks for your thoughts! I agree the amount of shooting I brought almost lost me the game, especially because housecat was likely to go a larger amount of infantry in the match up. I think because I don't particularly know the match up I was really worried about bolt throwers, but maybe they do damage kind of slowly. I like the idea of just replacing them! Also I debated the long rifle positioning, but had a hard time knowing where to put them. I wanted to make sure I could pressure the two points so he couldn't sit a unit and cap, but it didn't make a lot of sense in the end because of the way he played. As for the dragon, that's an interesting idea, I wonder if a couple of outriders would have been enough at close range or what units on the roster can actually threaten the dragon. Maybe stirling's revenge would have been a good choice too to poke the cold one knights in the endgame
Love the breakdowns of strategy in dom. Subscribed!

If you swap a couple knights of the black rose with demi halberds, they can do quite well into cold one knights
Oh true! I totally forgot about the unit!
