I'm an easy 1,000 hours into total war games collectively and still manage to consistently turn close victories into valiant defeats so this video was very much needed, thank you

[@thedonkey6704]

Don’t beat yourself up for it if it’s in Warhammer. Warhammer auto resolve has to be worst thing I’ve ever seen. I once won an auto resolve with empire halberdiers against like a full doomstack of chaos with no losses. Historical total war is a bit more correct in the autoresolve cause the unit stats do not go as wildly high as in Warhammer. Even there it can make big mistakes though. In other words. Good chance it’s not you

[@ArvelDreth]

​@@thedonkey6704what does auto resolve have to do with him manually playing out the battle and losing?

[@thedonkey6704]

@@ArvelDreth autoresolve is saying it’d be a close victory. He’s saying he loses to autoresolve victories when he manually fights them. I pointed out autoresolve is pretty bad and will show you victories where it’s actually impossible to manually win

​@@ArvelDrethyeah. zombie doomstacks are really good but you can't auto-resolve with them.

[@88Spint]

1. If you have weak but fast units you can use them to chase down enemy units that break from combat so they don't return. 2. Some ranged units need more line of sight then others, all with guns, so leave them on high ground or move the infantry to their side, forming like a checkerboard. 3. Check ranged units melee attack and defense, some can defend themselves really well but you may need to toggle melee on to allow them to do that. 4. Ranged units auto skirmish, meaning they will run away when the enemy gets too close, this can be very annoying, as they need to reposition, take aim and maybe fire... takes a while, in a chaotic battlefield where the enemy maneuvers close, so remember that it can be turned off. 5. infantry can brace against being charged, so if they don't have good charge bonus then it's better to have them hold position and let the enemy charge in. This negates much of the charge damage and may be devastating to cav, if you use spear troops. 6. Anti large is actually really effective against large stuff. Anti infantry is really effective against infantry. Make sure you give the right targets to the right troops. 7. PAUSE THE GAME! It's okay to slow down and think for a bit. This game is kinda hard to keep track off so make sure you pace yourself and not just play on max speed. 8. Attacking from above is always better then attacking from bellow. At the same time choke points on the map are there for you to take advantage off. 9. Cavalry is not there to be sent in and forgotten. Make sure to send them away to make a new charge after a few seconds. 10. Big units are easier to hit with ranged attacks then small, shocking I know. But you can dodge and weave to avoid most. Having happy feet makes you live longer. ;D 11. There are many armies in the game that do not like auto resolve, like Skaven and Helman Ghorsts zombie only army... for example. You do well to actually play these out. In fact most fights that state you will loose will actually be a winnable fight. 12. Flying ranged units and spellcasters are the most broken shit. You can cheese the enemy so much with them. Make sure to try it out :D 13. Remember that friendly fire is a thing. Take care with your magic and ranged units, especially artillery and guns. Unless you are Skaven, just shoot through-through and kill-kill! 14. Units that are bigger can mix well with units that are smaller. For example ork bois and ork big'uns can share a line just fine. 15. Bigger units have more mass and can wade through the battlefield so if you need to have something move to deal with a problem, make sure to make use of them. Think that's enough for now :D GL!

[@mekingtiger9095]

One of my most recent battles involved getting as many Skaven units into one spot to fight in melee against infantry Lizardmen units to then send a Doomrocket over them. It was effective and 100% true to the Skaven experience!

Another fun tip, if your lord is a power house *cough* Skarbrand *cough* and can survive combat for a bit, do some army set up prior and then just run them right in the middle. Get the enemy army all balled around and then collapse on them. Works very well for melee focused fations.

There’s a tactic I love using with the Empire and Cathay and (I know there’s a real strategic name for it) I call it the checkerboard, where I have my infantry in the front row with spaces between them and I put my gunners in those spaces slightly behind. This causes the enemy infantry to clash with mine while leaving space for the gunners to shoot at the enemy infantry.

[@kaopointmanneil5862]

This should be a tagged comment.....I'll add....pit your ranged units in square formations so they can pivot any direction without snagging on other units much faster. Checkerboard all your melee and ranged units.....the tactic for the front line works the same for your ranged units if they get Into your backline

[@ASpaceOstrich]

Something I need to know. I've played Total Warhammer for hundreds of hours and have never been clear on this. Do your units have to actually be playing an attack animation to do damage? If so, then the actual biggest basic tip for new players would be "separate your units rather than just drag them out". Something I always struggle with is my frontline devolving into a tarpit of units stuck on eachother. I suspect this is causing none of my units to actually attack. Dragging out every unit individually and having the separated so they can't merge in combat would be a huge performance boost if thats the case, and its something a new player would not think to do.

[@konsmiddel]

Yes, your unit have to actually do the attack animation. A fairly common mistake which Zerkovich kinda mentioned here is that if you use square formations for your melee, only the frontline will actually do dmg to the enemy, the rest will just stand there and wait for something to be in attack range. Square stacked up formation = doing dmg slow, but holds the line well. Drag them out in a thin formation = more units are in combat with the enemy and do their animations, but will get also take dmg faster.

[@ASpaceOstrich]

@@konsmiddel Thanks. I've suspected it to be the case but was never certain. In that case, definitely the biggest newbie tip would be to manually separate your units so that theres room between them, and to never "right click to attack" with multiple units targeting one enemy, because doing so makes them all merge into a tarpit and they're now basically stuck for the rest of the battle. I've noticed thats something Zerk is doing, when he shows his army its really spread out, but he never actually says to do it, which you'd think would be the first thing you'd say.

[@molybdaen11]

While holding the right mouse button you can give them along formation for moving faster and just befor the attack make a line for more damage. Just dont make the line to thing or the enemy can break through too easy.

[@reecedactyl]

yeh the tight formation good when they get charged too, i always just keep my spear dudes in tight

[@chaseschanke2798]

[@konsmiddel]

Issue with those comparisons is that it will never be a "this is the best". Will be a "X is generally the best, but Y and Z beat X" kind of ending

[@mrMurkee]

I didn’t compare them all but for now I would say is skarbrand or something like that, khorn mono lord, a lot of damage and heavy armored. A good competitive with Nkari, also a lot of damage, but not so many armor stats which makes him loose 1v1 to khorn lord. I playing slaanesh rn and I always use him as misleading for elves archers and when demonets come for archers Nkari will go strait to enemy lord to take him down. Works every time, at least If this lord on the ground.

[@Weaver_Games]

The problem becomes comparing them between builds and equipment. With the right items you can make any lord pretty formidable. That said some lords are just better at 1v1ing each other. Eg Gelt will lose in melee with Skarbrand but Gelt can also nuke infantry blobs with spells - which Skarbrand can't do.

[@Tucher97]

-A few specific yet helpful tactics, if you are playing as beastman, be sure to have war hounds in your army, then hide your entire army in a forest and have the enemy chase the war hounds, do this for battles where you win if time runs out. So beastman or wood elves. This may seem like a no shizzle tactic but trust me, its a tactic that has saved my army several times against some nasty army composition such as demigryph riders. -Forests, Forests can be great to hide your forces but not so much for anything that is mounted or bigger because they will have very poor performance among the trees so if you can, fight the nastiest of cavs in forests. -Warhounds, they may not seem great in head on combat but instead of head on combat, use them to chase down routing regiments, use them to chase down arty crews, use them to chase down low end dedicated archers.

[@taylorpayne1993]

Great vid

[@Sherudons]

I am not a noob, just trash. Bonus to flanking also include losing the flank secure morale bonus +5, a negative of anywhere up to -16 for a rear charge and a melee defence negative of 30-60%, it's why things like dwarves or elves seem unbreakable, gotta stab em in the arse.

Do you guys have any tips on how to command flanking? Shift+Drag Right Click drawing a curve for the cavalry or any unit makes them very sluggish and move weird.. Their charge wont be as effective as well if I drag to an enemy because they're moving slow.

[@robertog.936]

Get fast at microing

[@muhammadsaduddin308]

Depends on your unit. If you have low count entity like troll, make box formation beside/behind enemy line, then shift click (not drag) to the enemy to queue them. If you have high mass single entity, do the same, but charge the furthest/deepest enemy unit. This will make your single entity enter charge animation until it reach that unit, making any other unit in it's path also got damage. Infantry flanking charge is the hardest. You cannot queue them after making box formation because they will wait entire unit to assemble first then charge, making them standing like an idiot. Instead, you need watch over them. If about 70% unit already form a box formation, just manually charge them

[@robertsprankle6127]

I use control groups pretty heavily, and having that quick hotkey select instead of dragging a box around your cavs is a big help. But yeah basically everything muhammadsaduddin308 said, it's easier to just manually order the charge most of the time.

Because i cant keep up with all the other players moves and strategies happening so fast and then i miss a few units coming around or a spell being cast or forgetting about my troops, who are just chasing units into oblivion or were demolished on their way to their target and i am wondering where they went.

[@13g0man]

One way would be to group similar units together, rather than seeing 4 units of heavy inf with shields you have one front line. Rather than 3 units of archers, you have 1 group of archers providing ranged support. Group each element of your army together and use them as that element rather than the individual units, as you will often be using each group for the same job. When you get better split your units up and begin to micro them as each unit. Until then - use them as groups.

[@molybdaen11]

I usually give my lord the 1, archers the 2 and cavallery the group 3 for quick acess. The other groups are les simportant and are only used to have them all in one picture. Also there is no shame in slowing down the game when you play alone or get a friend to help you control the other half of the army.

Is focus firing a high teir unit always better? I was going about it the opposite way. I was thinking of focusing low teir since they are easier to route and get the numbers advantage.

[@TheLiquelique]

Low tier units are easily killable. Unlike real life, warhammer heroes and monsters can destroy an army alone. So when you fight again skarbrand, Manfred...basically any monster or here that do lot of aoe damage and have great melee or range numbers, you want to kill as fast as possible. But you have to count a lot of things. If the hero have plenty of armor, and you only have archers and crossbows, better focus something else. If the tier 3 unit is very squishy and you have crossbows and rifles, better use rifles on something with armor and let the crossbows do the damage.

[@FingerSpazm]

The way you move the units, like those curved red arrows, is that a mod?

[@milkchickenlolsworth9573]

I wish you had a solution for cav. getting stuck and generally sucking. I dont understand how my mounted lord walks in slow motion as he's getting probed from behind by a mounted hero, but AI constantly escapes your attacks at top speed. Cavalry units function in a way that I simply do not understand. They never stay in a unit, spread out and get isolated in the enemy only to have your entire unit, which is now disengaged, moving at the slow speed of the one or two models that got stuck. AI cavalry units will split up over my entire lines, somehow charging as individuals through 3 archer units but my units are dumber than rocks? Or is it me? The secrets of cavalry usage would be a great video.

[@13g0man]

Units can get stuck easily, if your cav are walking through glue then keep spamming the move command and reminding them of where they should go. They might need a few reminders, but when they get clear of obstructions they will get there fast enough.

[@ASpaceOstrich]

@@13g0man Biggest quality of life improvement they could ever make would be to make it so cavalry cannot cancel a move command for any reason. The AI already benefits from that, its bullshit that, as players, we have to spam right click to manually walk our units out of combat. Something with the rampage trait? sure. But not every single unit in the game.

[@ItsK1NOTIME]

They are all great tips and well explained, unfortunately I already do all of these, as for flanking if you have slower units you can just set up formation with center on the back and and the sides forward like pacman and then once center is engaged close it from the sides. I personally favor units with high mobility since they allow to split up enemy armies and then attack them in bigger numbers one at a time, even if its a anti cavalry unit against cavalry it will route pretty fast after being attack from 5 angles, which also helps to wipe them after they route to ensure they don't fight again later on after the fight is over

You forgot the caveat to kill the lord that its often better to just ignore duelist lords.

[@ethanwilliams1880]

There's definitely some finesse to this, yes. For instance, certain lords *cough* Vlad *cough* are definitely best to bog down fighting your absolute worst unit, or chasing some light cav around the map ineffectually. Most lords are worth removing, however. Archaon, for instance, is a tough target like Vlad, but will also solo your army if you don't deal with him. He did mention that these are the basics, and excepting a very few legendary lords, most are worth killing, though with many duelist lords you would be better shooting them, ideally with bullets.

[@iamtheteapot7405]

@@Giveaway_OfficialZerkovich You did too, a report.

[@Orendiz]

my biggest problem with the battles (aside from the endless AI bugs) is the flank morale penalties are so little. Melee units wont rout that much significantly faster even low tier units after getting flanked and even compleately enveloped. At times its worse to flank becouse if the enemy has ranged your flanking units will be exposed to archers and will probably rout faster then the enemy they just flanked. All this to say if you are trying to win a battle against a larger army, flanking is almost never viable with anything other then cav, better make stronger lines to hold while your units shoot from the gaps.

[@pierre-yvesmachavoine4983]

you can try to refuse one of your flanks if you're outnumbered, are create a numbers advantage on the flank of your choice, then roll over the ennemy line. It's tricky to imagine but try picturing it and you'll see what i mean. You'll probably have to make your troops form an oblique or even 90 degree angle on the refused flank so that the ennemy line has to spend more time walking. Your refused flank could even fold in to a box, which becomes a great target for your augment spells. Hopefully by the time they're about to break you'll have rolled up the ennemy line from your strong flank.

That vortex spell is the reason no one wants a wizard attached to their army... oh dear it seems to be coming towards US instead said the captain to them melted remains of the wizard... Or explosive miscasts mod to really see why you don't want a caster near your own army.

I absolutely loved this video, a friend of mine who is new to the total war series found this immensely helpful and now our multiplayer battles are intense instead of one sided now. The only thing I disagree with, is focus on that lord alot more early, I found lords like maleketh difficult due to their lords mount doing most damage in Warhammer 2 but If you get a few specialist artillery to take out the lord before they get to your front lines, the battle becomes so much easier. Kill the lords I say!

I resent the implication that any unit is better than Grom

[@molybdaen11]

He meant for killing the fat archers. Grom is a beast when facing infantry or archers so he is better always moving. HAd himd efeat armys he should not have survived with easy because of all the fear he cause (and goblins with regeneration are incredible hard to kill).

How to fix when there is a blob?

[@milkchickenlolsworth9573]

Magic honestly if you can’t beat it just straight up my personal favorite is to hit it with something like a flame wizards flaming head of ruin or high magic I think it’s Ursans Comet along with a breath spell and sometimes damage reflection on my units that are fighting tougher units

This video is incomplete. You never once said, "Oh Scheiße." Is this even really Zerk?
