changedThe Raw Power of the LabyrinthWith the highest base melee attack in the game, they are designed to end fights quickly. Their signature move, Gore Charge , doesn't just do damage—it uses their momentum to break through enemy lines, displacing defenders and leaving them vulnerable to your archers.

changedThe Cost of FuryPower like this comes with a vulnerability. Minotaurs possess Unbreakable Will , meaning they are nearly immune to fear and morale shocks. However, this same stubbornness makes them aggressive. They aren't "tanks" in the traditional defensive sense; they are glass cannons made of muscle. If you overextend a Minotaur without support, their high threat level will make them a primary target for enemy focus fire.

How will you use them?

Will you use them as a "Linebreaker" to open the way for your Dwarf axemen?
Or will you pair them with a Stoneman to create an unstoppable frontline?
