Description

The Guard Dog is a formidable opponent, with it's First Strike ability, it can cause some nasty damage to your attacking troops, before they even get a chance to strike back.

As it attacks the weakest target first, Cavalry care should be taken when used in camps that have Guard Dogs. Guard Dogs are very strong but seeing that Cavalry are also a First Strike unit, just like the dogs, the battle is slightly in favour of the Dogs.

Providing Cavalry are also your weakest (or only) unit in that particular attack, it should be an evenly matched fight. For example, the Camp in Sector 9 that contains 200 Dogs, an attack by 200 Cavalry will kill all the dogs, but you will lose all Cavalry too and even though the battle is victorious, the General requires recovery time.
