I was playing this famous chinese map, Wayfarer. So, week 4, Ciele meets 100 dread knights, she has those stats and expert slow.
Ciele is on a mine so I tried 3 army setups and results were rather interesting.
I
Full army:
Bait too big, knights will ignore it and go straight for cyclops. This will be a slaughter for me, as thunderbirds can barely kill 4 knights on hit.

Ok, I knew that bait must have appropriate size to lure bad boys, but what I didn't know was about living goblins wall, it is necessary. Without goblins, knights ignore bait and go for cyclops.
III.
Now with living wall, special attention required on turn 3, you have to shot the right stack, the only one which will go up:

I'm not a very good tactician, but wouldn't it be a lot easier to split the thunderbirds to more stacks? That way, you wouldn't really need to choose your target because the fact that one stack will move up will then be questionable at best.
As I was saying I'm not very good at tactics, but I just don't understand why you didn't split them...

splitting them to too many small guys is bad cuz you would'nt have space to maneuver. Splitting them into 3 + 25 I think might would have been better (if 25 can kill 6-7 dread knights)

anyway, they killed your first aid! noob XD (jk)
Meh,if you would just split them up,as Orc sayd,there wouldn't be actually a bait.
Because when there is only a line of Thunderbirds,all the knights (witch were splitted) would go after the Thunderbird,but when there are more stacks,the knights would split to go catch the Thunderbird,the Thunderbird would be killed easy,and more exactly the cyclops may hit the knights harder,so (let's say that you have a low number of cyclops/king cyclops) you would finally loose the battle.
Anyways,you might know this...
Isn't like you picked quick combat all the times,right ?
