==Behavior==
Barbarian Kings only appear in contracts to hunt them. Their warbands are visible from twice the usual distance. Only one King will be in it. If attacked by a stronger non-player squad on the world map, the King always survives by the virtue of having plot armor, defeating the enemy army alone. The contract of course becomes much easier in this case.

Like all barbarians, he moves forward and attacks the enemy. He will use [[Adrenaline (20 fatigue)|Adrenaline]] to get ahead of the enemy if not already faster than them. Usually he waits after acting, and activates it at the very end. He can [[Barbarian Fury (5 fatigue)|rotate]] with other barbarians to save a wounded ally, attack someone vulnerable, or without a clear purpose.

If he escapes, the contract does not fail and continues as if you have killed him, including bringing his head to the nobleman.
==Tips==

*Is like a heavier version of [[Barbarian Chosen|Chosen]], so all advice about them also applies here.
*There is only one King per squad, and in the middle game he will be accompanied by weak [[Barbarian Thrall|Thralls]] or [[Barbarian Reaver|Reavers]], so you will have easier time [[Maces|stunning]] or [[Battle Whip|disarming]] him.
