The Musketeer or tank can effectively take 50% of all range combat off the Engineer by being between him and the shooter, too. So you advance forward like a worm, and not a steady march a Warlord might use. The next turn, move the Engineer in if it is safe to reload and to give your tank or musketeer another immediate big bang. After reload, move the Musketeer or tank away from the Engineer at max distance before shooting. Bring the shooter back 3 space to have the Engineer meet it to reload. I think that is why Fire Musket can halve movement, actually. That way he will be an Elite in no time! But the Engineer is so squishy. The engineer should be reloading every turn. Since machines shoot once, but shoot very hard, take advantage of their mobility. The leader also has a cool little buff, and a great debuff. That's very cool!ĭreadnoughts and its units are masters at AoE.

I also think the approaches below are different to mine. I always play a Druid, but in this game it took a while to click for me. I found Dreadnoughts easiest to groove with, and Archdruids harder to understand. Try building stacks of engineers with some strong racial units to solidify their survival and use them to clear nodes.īefore you know it, you will have leveled up engis.ĭwarf, i believe is among the best for dreadnought because of their innate increased armor on armor units.

Most of the time, you can get better racial units that fit that role better and is more cost effective.Ĭonsider investing solely in engineers, musketeers, calvary with guns, cannon, catapults and maybe Flame tank.hard maybe( depends on specialization) Often when starting early, people make the mistake that all dreadnought units are viable, the truth is that golem is trash because of the paid wall and the return of investment is not high. When approaching dreadnought gameplay, consider your race and specializations as key driving factors to a good game.

Well, second to rogue cuz they outright focus exclusively on a overview map It feels like it has many drawbacks because of how vastly different is from the rest of classes. The common misunderstanding of dreadnought is that is not intuitive.
