[@jimmehjimjim4810]

The siege one is obviously annoying but generally i think guard mode works but is slightly misunderstood when it comes to artillery. Guard mode means the artillery will not move / pursue a unit or target once it is out of sight or out of range, however if you target something and the very first initial chance to shoot is either out of range, or no clear line of sight, the artillery will move to try and get a shot If that makes sense? If not, then i’m just terrible at explaining things :-)

I got into a similar type of battle (as Clan Pestilens, I think with my Skrolk army, against 2 or 3 Dark Elves doomstacks) on that same map type, and I took the same position. I wasn't in force-march though, so I rained fire upon them-them until I was out of ammo, then retreated just as they broke my front lines (stupid Skaven infantry; it's awesome that the map border is right behind you), then wiped them all up in the next battle. I feel proud to have made the same decision as Legend :D

[@darksidecookies2145]

Ive had great results using a kind of crescent formation of melee, heroes, and lord, with gaps, instead of a staunch line of beards. Ranged units sit in the middle in square formation with the artillery behind. It really compliments Irondrakes, Thunderers, and Cannons if you set up at good angles. The enemy front line just gets shredded easily, and once they close in artillery changes targets to the ranged units. The only drawback is when the AI occasionally exploits the gaps and rushes the ranged units, but usually they will crowd around your melee line and just die.

[@poochkane]

I like this use of chokepoints alot actually, I don't even think this is cheese because it's a perfectly feasible scenario where a force is contesting a crossing using artillery. This kind of thing happened/happens to this day in warfare without a doubt. Especially if there's high ground, you can't choose where the terrain is, just how you use it.

[@booradley6832]

about the organization thing, Legend- That's the main reason I use control groups. Not to actually control the units but to organize them quickly just by sorting them. Its really effective and you never actually have to hit the number key to use it if you dont want to. You can even sort them seperately(I often do) so starting ranged units are on group 2 and reinforcing ones are on control 3 so I dont screw with my formations. So instead of control groups just considering them organization groups. Give it a try?

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

My control groups are usually like this: 1 - Heroes, important units meant to take down enemy heroes/monsters 2 - Fragile, important units that shouldn't be in a melee fight (mages...) 3 - Important melee infantry that shouldn't be target of enemy missiles (elite infantry) 4 - Meat Shields, The units that are intended to die first, if any has to. 5 - Ranged units 6 - Cavalry 7 - Artillery

[@booradley6832]

@@rumplstiltztinkerstein Cool, that's interesting how its like straight inverted of mine lol. On a set piece large battle where you start with everything on the field or have a good reinforcement so its not an issue mine are 1- frontline 2- archers/gunners 3- cavalry last- artillery 5-8 are subgroups of those. So for instance if I want to run 2+ cav formations another one would go on 4 and artillery on 5. My heroes I bunch in with other groups to lead them typically, or make them independent actors that dont have to have a hotkey.

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

@@booradley6832 Very interesting. That must be why I'm so bad with factions like the elves. I'm good with focusing individual groups of enemies at a time. But when it comes to maneuvering the entire army, I'm terrible. I like vampire counts because you just rely on spells for 99% of the fight. I like vampire coast because once you set your army in a slope, you can't move your army much or the gunners will be unable to focus properly. I like dwarves because they are too slow to maneuver well. I'm gonna test your method with factions I have a hard time playing, then see if I end up being better at them.

[@booradley6832]

@@rumplstiltztinkerstein If you have trouble with high elves, corner camp. starting from the corner building out it goes: Bolt thrower, archers, sea guard, spearmen, heroes. The only control you have to do is picking targets. Just be sure to use guard mode or it fucks up all the time. As you get more used to micromanaging their targets you'll be able to apply it to larger scale fights. Also multiplayer, you might get stomped a few times but you'll learn faster micro real quick.

I know you probably already know this, but there is an option in the settings to make it so that control groups are NOT locked. I usually use ctrl+1 (or whatever number you want) to put them in a group but with that option disabled you don't have to hit the lock button after.

[@alex_zetsu]

I'm a bit surprised Legend thought it would be easier to win with large armies here. I know its not always "oh enemy has 40 units, don't control large armies" but I think it might have been possible to slip three fast unit past the choke and just wait for missile units to start arriving (and get butchered) so you effectively have 3 melee units neutralize a whole bunch of missile units, a good trade in balance of power if you can pull it off. In non-chokepoint field battles sometimes this is the only contribution tier 2 melee infantry can make if melee infantry don't synergize with the rest of the units, although with chokepoints pretty much only fast units can pull this off during the small period when you rout some units at the choke which can let some guys through.

The sad thing is even with the AI cheats nothing counters the inevitable order tide, it's such a boring thing now as it can only be prevented by the player defeating high elves, dwarves AND empire by yourself otherwise every campaign ends up being the same. Occasionally Dark Elves can take out the high elves but the chaos invasion just destroys their power base so whoever is left out of empire, bretonnia, dwarves becomes the new order tide.

[@seanpkrueger]

I would say every few campaigns I get a variation of greenskins defeating dwarves, dark elves defeating high elves, and/or (more rarely) vampire counts defeating the empire. Mors/Eshin can also snowball and take over the entire badlands and mountains, sometimes. Apparently there's a mod that'll allow you to tweak the power level of minor factions so they persist longer and act more aggressive in taking territory. I've never used it before but if you're bored of the order tide it's an option.

[@Animalace3]

I always wondered if all TW games are like this when it comes the reinforcing? I mean it would make A WHOLE LOT more sense if an army reinforces as a whole since many just do not work if only a part of it shows up and once the troops are removed from the battlefield the reserves of the remaining army #3 are showing up and after those are through the onbes of #4 It is just a big mess like it is at the moment when there are more than 2 vs 2 armies fighting each other :S
