On the plus side, convoys seem to benefit from Manufactory unit upgrades but don't require armament upkeep to use them, so choose wisely when selecting your convoy master and his roster. While ambushes aren't all that common and you can choose to avoid most battles, if you don't strengthen your convoys by picking up new units in random events, you will eventually face a force you can't beat and lose it all. If you've spent any time playing as Cathay, you'll have grown accustomed to easy-to-win caravan battles, as a few units of Gnoblars and an Ogre ambush you on the road. A steady supply of workforce will keep your production efficiency at 100%, allow you to staff new outposts and strip mines, and you can always use the Sacrifices for Zharr-Naggrund labour action to turn the excess into Conclave Influence for taking seats in the Tower of Zharr.
Most important of all, you can trade for workforce the backbone of the Chaos Dwarf economy, and something you can only get through taking battle captives or raiding otherwise. Military Convoys are the Chaos Dwarfs' answer to Cathay's caravans, letting you send armed expeditions out across the world to trade guns and money for just about anything you need.
