Strategy[]
City smasher. Level it up and buff with spells, and it can do even more than a hundred damage to a castle per turn. Solid hit points and resistances mean you can rush those dwarves into the front line and not worry much. If you're planning on conquest, it's very handy to have a few of these in your army.
Counter with magic or flying ships raining fire from above (the dwarves are powerless against them).
