      @@hakon1027 Yep. On Legend level, you can predict where they will attack and counter before they even strike/assault settlement. On typical player level, you get walls so you can react fast enough, so they don't waltz over more then 1-2 settlements.

    I mean level 3 walls and above give you a pretty good garrison. All you need to is recruit a lord/hero and dump some points into unit buffs and it’s pretty much good to go.
    But that does depend on how many stacks show up.
    Level 5 walls can pretty much keep out one or two powerful stacks.
    My play style is always recruiting heroes that can damage enemy forces a treat so when they do attack there’s half an army left.
    Heroes and lords are so undervalued for what they can do on the campaign map.
    Take wizards in empire. Recruit a beast wizard or another crappy one and they’ll make havoc against enemy settlements, armies and even enemy lords and heroes.

    The weirdest thing is, when your anything other than Skaven walls might not make sense, but as skaven you make money from the walls so it's weird not to build them.
    As Bretonnia you get free walls at tier 3 so money is making more sense there but like, Bretonnia with 20 unit garrisons everywhere is pretty strong too, if you want minimal amount of armies so that other factions don't see you as a huge threat.

      it only got bad in the patch before last. They were trying to patch out an ambush cheese and somehow made it far worse for everyone.

      Chaos and Norsca are easily the worst too since their only missile troop is the hell cannon. High elf archer armies don't feel it quite as bad
