pulling enemy out of the fort for 8 turns rrrrrreeeeeeeeealy spices the things up!
There is ONE easy way to get the enemies to CHARGE on TURN 1 every fucking time.
Just bring one/two (i always play with at least 2 so i have no idea if it works with only one) ranged units and put them on the FRONT ROW.
First, they get more range, which is nice and next, everyone charges at them.
Dogs aren't a problem, when they're faster, you just wait and other units will dispatch them before the end of the turn but you should put them behind when facing direwolves.
Aside from direwolves, just give them a decent ranged def + anticipation and nimble and they're perfectly fine.
And bonus, it makes the battles way faster.
