So you're not decent Stronghold player then.
@Mytical: If he put 2 of his stacks near the cyclops that's self explonatory...

Not neccessarily Radar. Untamed are a risk. However, next time a bit of forplaning will help. Put them off into a corner and make sure nothing else is around them. Leave out wyverns if needed.
However, if you get them to the enemy Untamed are killers. They can decimate the enemy. With a few word of cheifs, some haste, and perhaps divine guidence, they can get many many actions for little damage and do vast ammount of damage to the enemy. With some bloodrage, possibly powerful blow they are down right SCARY.

If you know how to use them, they can be good. Do as Mytical said: place them in the corner
But Im with you , I dont take them either. To risky, I play safe

Not only must you make sure that they don't have anyone near them, a very good option is to get tactics. That allows you even better positioning, reducing the risk greatly. And also, you should of known, that because of their 4 tile attack, you must always be wary when fighting raiders. Be them lizard raiders or champions, even bear raiders, you must always try to keep them from getting to your cyclops on the first round. If you do that, then you'll probably kill them easily afterwards.

Untamed cyclops always attack the 2x2 region, including their target, in which they can strike most creatures, be they friend or foe. If you placed Earth Daughters and Chieftains at the front lines right next to the untames, you're asking for trouble
I kinda like how it mixes, actually. Chaintain + Untamed, and Executioner + bloodeyed.

yeah but still the dark raiders reach you in the first round and they got so good initiative so you can't do anything to stop them. but i will think of that in the future. but still i want my earth daughters close to the cyclopses cause both need the goblins.

Then get tactics and place the shamans and goblins behind the cyclops.

If you don't have tactics both shamans and goblins should stay out of range.
Using goblins by cyclops is waste of turn IMO.

All this boils down to one thing: They're Untamed Cyclopses. They attack anything in their way.

Unless I go Kraugh, I don't get Frenzy any more. Getting my cyclops as close to the enemy as I can in case of frenzy is just too important. Also always get shatter dark now if it comes up, regardless. That way, don't have to worry about it. Detain dark also at least. May waste a skill slot in some cases, but better safe then sorry and the other spell schools can be gotten around.

I have never taken Untamed Cyclopses in my games with Stronghold, Blood-eyes are just too great. -3 luck to enemies, and hits 2 enemies in front of you? Awesome!
The only occasion in which I used Untameds has been while playing duels, and yet I have seen no occasion which Blood-eyes couldnīt handle.
