Dangerous in what way? if you mean the battle where loyalists are more likely to lose, if a player knows how to play loyalists in every matchup (how you play against each faction can vary greatly) then the game should be balanced. If you mean the matchup where you can win but you take heavy casualties, I'd say vs. loyalists, but that's just my opinion.

I meant what is the most dangerous in a matchup.

I said dwarves because it has very powerful weapons,and thundersticks will severely hurt horsemen and cavalry.

Define what you mean don't restate it. All races can be dangerouse.

If you mean best at fighting then the answer is or at least should be none of them.

so don't use horses v. thunderers... you're faster than them, you can run away... and you didn't answer my question: in which way do you mean dangerous?

For high casaulties on both sides I'd pick drakes.

No faction poses a greater threat to any other faction than any other faction. "Most Powerful" is not a term we use here. God might have given you 10 fingers, but he still gave you 2 ears. That means they need to work 5x harder. :)

Ok why bring it down to is the game ballanced? right now the devs did a good job with ballancing the game.

Nevertheless I think every player has a faction he is struggeling hardest to fight against with loyalists.

IMHO mostly loyalists do hardest against undead.


Simply because their initial recruit. Spearmen etc. many times thends to the piercing side (Ok, ok experienced players will throw in a mage or HI in the mix...).

Just to clarify: Wesnoth is not intended to have a rock-paper-scissors system like seen in other games (although I am not sure if it is really intended there anyways). Thus an advantage of one faction over another (should) only arise from the personal preferences of the player.

Loyalists can be beaten with every faction, it depends on the player. (and the player's luck)
First read, then think. Read again, think again. And then post!

The most brutal matchup that involves Loyalists imo is Loyalists vs. Undead. I'm talking about brutal matchups where there isn't going to be much low damage fight.
