Dogs are not used by any player in current meta. Many wrong things with war dog in current gameplay.
@nescio removed the kennels that were also historically problematic. D2533.
- It seems illogical and unreal that a dog can gain experience in combat;
- Brit starts the game with an elite dog, which is capable of beating a cavalry in a 1x1 fight, or killing many women (in the range of cc) and leave alive;
- Weak in late game;
- Advance and elite rank are practically useless as they are weak and never get promoted. (I at least never saw).
- Runs more than a horse.
- Seems to have an incorrect animation with the damage time (already reported to @Stan).
Proposal:
- Remove advance and elite rank templates. Brit now starts the game with basic rank, making it weaker at start;
- Increase your health to 110, stronger in late game. (using elite dog actor to give more realism);
- Decrease your running speed to 25.9 (faster than infantry, slower than cavalry);
- Better tooltip;
- Cleaning templates.
Initial patch by @borg-, updated by @Nescio.
