 Loyalists and Dunefolk are similar. To defeat them, you must use your strenghts against their weaknesses. Both armies have access to cavalry and numerous foot soldiers. Loyalists have more melee units, while you can use your fast units with ranged attack to engage them first.

-This is tough, maybe the most frustrating match in Battle for Wesnoth. Defeating knalgans is problematic for a number of reasons.
+Strategy to defeating dunefolk as dunefolk is simple. Dunefolk have some advantages and disadvantages, but it have also a good unit for everything - dune rover. Other units are good as well, but there is no single good target for your skirmishers.
-First, they are much better and faster on hills and mountains. They can easily attack your units and exploit your vulnerabilities. Last and not least, you do not have magic attacks. While you have access to poison and marksman attacks, it all comes with level 2 units, and you can always upgrade to unit that might be better or more needed.
+Because your will probably see a lot of rovers, take also units who are good against rovers - dune soldiers. Especially with healing from herbalists. In fights between two dunefolk leaders, speed is important - and it is possible that more riders will be used. Do not let your enemy have more mobile cavalry than you have.
-You have to use your solid melee attackers to fight dwarves and outlaws - but they will fire at you with poachers. You can also try to find a perfect unit against poachers, but you will find none in your arsenal. At the end, both factions will fight with a strange mix of units. Dunefolk can use classic blade/impact/pierce attacks, but dwarves are good against them. So even your nagas with blade attack will have limited use. It is possible, that enemy will recruit a fast moving gryphon rider, who can also make things worse, if he collect some villages from you. To make it even more horrific, even cheap thieves that costs only 13 gold can kill your fighters and healers at night.
+'''Burner:''' Fire damage is nice, but no one have vulnerability to fire. However, vulnerability to blade can be a problem against massed rovers. Do not buy this guys, unless you are a skilled player who know how to use them effectively in this match.
-So... what can you do? Mixing units a lot and using the cheapest and most versatile unit you got - dune rovers. Your biggest advantage is healing, so try to heal more than 1 your unit every turn. Also, you will need to upgrade dune soldiers to get a really powerful unit - or a captain with leadership.
+'''Herbalist:''' Impact damage is not very useful, while their healing is nice. If you can heal more than 1 unit every turn, take them. If not, take a single one.
-'''Burner:''' Fire damage? Nice! But blade vulnerability is not what you want against dwarvish fighters, ulfserkers and gryphon riders. Use them to kill enemies, but do not use them a lot, because they might die quickly.
+'''Rover:''' Good for everything, with exception of fighting soldiers. use them a lot.
-'''Herbalist:''' You can heal your units, knalgans cannot. So these guys will be the primary target. While not very useful in combat, in closed maps these guys are a must. Make sure to cover them, because gryphons can attack them from far away. Also, as a melee only unit, poachers and even thunderers might come to get some free damage.
+'''Skirmisher:''' Same as burner. Use them if you are a skilled player. Otherwise, one should be enough.
-'''Rover:''' All-around unit with balanced ratio of attack and defense. Keep them in front. They are a good unit, but not perfect. Use other units as well, based on what your enemy will do.
+'''Soldier:''' This is your rover killer and he is also good against burners, herbalists and riders. Use them together with herbalists and rovers.
-'''Skirmisher:''' Great for units, that knalgans do not have. Vulnerable to everything knalgans have. On the other hand, they have good defenses in terrain and knalgans cannot use marksman/magic attacks, so they can be of some use. While you do not need them very much, they are fast and can help finish some outlaw or dwarf.
+'''Rider:''' You need them, probably more than in other matches.
-'''Soldier:''' Lots of HP, good melee attacks. They are your meat shield. They are a little vulnerable to hammers from dwarvish fighters, while having good resistances to pierce and blade. Main downside is the cost. Use them, if money is not an issue. A trio of soldiers, rovers and herbalists is a good strategy, where soldier is your "tank".
+'''Naga Dirkfang:''' Surprisingly, they are awesome fighters. If you play small multiplayer map with shallow water, even small rivers, they can guard other units, when combined with herbalists.
