Yeah, goblins are probably the worst thing to fight in such large numbers. In normal numbers (12-15) I’d argue they’re way easier than orcs, but 27 of them? The debuffs would cripple any army into oblivion.
I HAVE stumbled across a hideout with 30 ghouls, by the way. That was a little too easy. It’d be more fun if ghouls had some sort of ghoulish leader that could rally them, give them higher attack bonuses, etc.
