  • Armoured Mastiffs
rdfs:comment
  • Being fast, agile and intimidating due to their appearance and behaviour, dogs could be trained to maim, rend and kill, while staying staunchly loyal to their masters. As a result, humans have spent centuries trying to breed the perfect dog — one that would be loyal yet efficient at its work, regardless of what it was. The Spanish, however, chose instead to clad war dogs in armour, making them harder to kill and far more lethal to unarmoured foes.

  • Being fast, agile and intimidating due to their appearance and behaviour, dogs could be trained to maim, rend and kill, while staying staunchly loyal to their masters. As a result, humans have spent centuries trying to breed the perfect dog — one that would be loyal yet efficient at its work, regardless of what it was. The Spanish, however, chose instead to clad war dogs in armour, making them harder to kill and far more lethal to unarmoured foes. The Armoured Mastiffs are meant to represent these dogs which the Spanish trained for use against unarmoured targets, such as Moorish tribesmen and Aztec warriors who did not have metallic armour. These large and lumbering killing machines proved to be a conquistador's best friend in the wilds of the New World when the Spanish began their quest for colonial hegemony beyond the Atlantic Ocean. Armoured Mastiffs are stronger and tougher than normal War Dogs, making them great if used against an enemy's light infantry, especially crossbow units. Against heavy armour, however, Armoured Mastiffs are far than impressive, and are quite easily frightened by the sound of gunfire as well.
