As he showed its a valid tactic with big stacking penalties if you can do it quickly enough, he also didn't mention the "army losses" one, but it becomes highly valuable when you mix in magic and terror. First time ive seen the actual damage numbers so its great information to have.

[@PowerPuffSoldier]

Tanking enemy leadership can really turn the tide of some tough battles against low-average leadership armies (skaven, humans, greenskins). heavy shooting, melee clash + damage spell or leadership debuff, and a flank charge (especially with terror) can break an army's flank, which frees up some units you can rededicate elsewhere.

[@arthipex8512]

You missed one thing: The army losses penalty. At which point does it trigger? And how big is the effect?

[@misterpig7739]

If army losses trigger you lose unless you have enough unbreakable units and they are able to beat what the other army has left which almost never happens.

[@sjonnieplayfull5859]

Unsure of the exact numbers, but around 70%. Keep in mind routing units still count for active fighters, only when they are shattered or fled the battlefield are their numbers deduced from the balance of power. The effect is permanent. It causes all breakable units to turn and run. General and undamaged units might last a few seconds longer, but they too head for the hills. Then the unbreakable units go on, and might even win if you are really good, but the running units will not come back. Their leadership will even come back to normal levels, but they will be shattered and not return.

[@nou6879]

Yes, the effect is quite obvious, but the crucial question is at what point does the game decide the battle is “unwinnable” and apply the penalty?

[@thehistorians5231]

army loss applies when the balance of power is too heavily in one sides favour it applies a permanent -120 leadership to the entire army that is enough to break/shatter basically every unit in the game that is not unbreakable

[@hkwiv8044]

From my understanding the number is affected by a couple of things, firstly how many units are loosing fights/ have low leadership/routing, the higher this number the more likely army loss. Death is counted on top of this, but seems to affect it much less. If you loose two thirds of your army slowly you're less likely to hit army loss. Than if you lost them in a couple of seconds. If you loose a large amount of models/hp on your army(say your fighting an 20 stack of peasants and you ram them with cav, they are very likely to be close to army losses even if they havent actually lost any units) This has been my experience, altho I won't discount that gold cost might be what is actually calculated in some kind of weird formula. As far as I've seen there are no actual records on the exact formula for army losses. I did some quick research and nothing came up. I would ask the TTWII modding community, it's much more likely they can access the formula and have more insight than I do.

yes he is awesome. did u ever have a CTD problem with the game? mine is constantly CTD at end of major battles, loading saves and sometimes mid battle. no idea how to fix

[@ICanHazRecon911]

Great video, there's just a couple more things I would have added I think. 1: How Army Losses Works, because we all know about things like undead armies distintigrating earlier than expected, but also about Tyrion last stands in multiplayer despite the fact that he's not unbreakable 2: How chasing off routing units works. It's common practice to chase off a unit if its leadership "naturally" breaks. You said that units will not return despite not being shattered unless their leadership comes back up. But with routing unit chases being so common, does chasing them provide an extra penalty? What distance do they have to be in to keep them from returning? Can it be literally anything as long as they can keep up i.e. skavenslaves chasing off routing executioners? What will make a unit recover if they're being chased if anything?

[@knell18897]

As long as the unit is routing, any nearby enemy will prevent rally even if that unit regain it's leadership, So you can chase them to the end of the map.

[@SMT-ks8yp]

There is a guide about chasing off on this channel. Yeah, you can chase them away with anything because they are too scared to remember that their halberds can shred this trash light cav in a couple on seconds.

[@ICanHazRecon911]

@@SMT-ks8yp Could you link me to that please?

[@ICanHazRecon911]

@@knell18897 Why is that? It must be just a mechanic then rather than a leadership penalty right?

[@joebyrne9752]

@@ICanHazRecon911 It has to do with the cost of the unit routing vs the cost of the unit chasing. If the cost of the unit chasing does is significantly less than the cost of the unit chasing given 1-2minutes the unit will regain their morale. However, units with low leadership -even if they cost a lot- can still be routed because there is a leadership penalty from having enemy units on the flanks. If the unit that is routing is sufficiently faster than the unit chasing the 'enemies at flanks' penalty will not apply. Vice versa, if a strong unit is chasing a weaker unit and causes significant damage to the unit routing unit the same leadership penalties for lost health and lost health in a given duration still apply. In general, 1.) don't chase with slow units because they will neither do damage or be able to run the enemy off the map. 2.) Chasing with units less than 500g is ill advised -just my anecdotal experience- because from my understanding 500g is the cut off for most units (on whatever the actual strength difference is). 3.) Chasing off units when the battle is even or you are behind is pretty much always the wrong option because you are essentially sacrificing a fast unit that can keep doing damage to the units still fight. As stated previously you want fast units to chase, which are also the units you would be using for rear charges.

[@Valivali94]

One little additional aspect is that the penalty from a lord fled is only temporary and will go away competently unlike when they die.

[@ollyrukes]

Love this guide and lots of tips about things that I didn’t know despite over 2k hours ingame. Something worth mentioning though is that if you are trying to use leadership to get advantage by stacking different penalties, it is only worthwhile if you can actually break the unit. If you drop it to 5 then it has no actual effect. It’s the only stat afaik where it has no impact when it changes, only when it goes below 0. I.e. a 100LS unit fights exactly the same as the identical unit with 10LS.

WOW So many things in this video that I have seen in action (even recently) but had no idea why they worked like that. Such great content as always! ex/1. I have cast crown of command on a unit just a second too late so it was already routing, then it had to rout for the entire duration despite being temporarily unbreakable. 2.I have noticed units that I sent round the flank are not engaged with the enemy cause I gave them a move order and not an attack order, maybe they are standing there getting shot by arrows and then when I give the attack order I notice a big jump in the leadership bar. Now I know that is the charge bonus. I doubt I would be this skilled even with twice as much playtime if it wasn't for your videos! Thank you!

[@Tucher97]

There is a way to lower leadership that is interesting, give an army lightning strike, then proceed to use it everytime you do a 1 on 1 battle because there is a debuff that makes the enemy "unprepared" as well outnumbered which is hilarious especially with how I fight Archon Edit:As a side note, Unprepared and Out numbered are constant debuffs and are always nice to have, but out numbered is a tricky one as that is dependant on the faction

[@poonling456]

What the mechanics behind "chasing routed unit"? 1. Can we chase off terrorised unit with non terror causing unit? 2. Sometimes you can chase off routed unit even when their leadership recovered while being chased. Why?

[@PhantomJavelin]

1. Terror is not the same as a standard Break, and is actually closer to Berserk!. Terrorized units will behave the same as Broken units for the duration of the Terror, but you will regain control of a Terrorized unit eventually regardless of if they're getting chased, unless they go directly from Terror to Break/Shatter. 2. You don't immediately regain control of a Broken unit at any 1 leadership. I'm not 100% on the numbers but there are instances where broken units return to positive leadership (13-14, even) but don't rally because they're still being chased; to my knowledge Broken units need time without sustaining any damage or far enough away from enemy units to start rallying.

[@bonafidechamploo]

Truly the most superior comprehensive guides on TWW from bite to meal sizes.

[@booradley6832]

Additional tip: Shock breaking enemy units can be used to clear them entirely off the battlefield. For example if you break those elven spearmen, who would recover to have excellent leadership, put a very cheap fast unit on them to run them off (Feral cold ones, chaos warhounds, dire wolves, pistoliers in melee mode etc) as they will continue to harry them, get them attacked in the back and recent, moderate and total damage penalties, losing in combat, etc. so they wont ever recover. This can be used in conjunction with terror, artillery, spells to rout some pretty healthy, high leadership units. If they're never given time to recover they wont, and even if you have horrible MA units have something like 10-25% MD when attacked in the back- which they will be when running away. Since you can solo target artillery turning one cannon out of the unit of 3 to suppress morale on multiple units is a viable strategy as well.

[@AliothAncalagon]

Great video, but so many more questions. When does a unit shatter, besides the "3 route rule"? When does the "army losses penalty" apply? What exactly does "stronger and faster enemies nearby" mean? I have had a few times where units had this debuff when I clearly thought they were the "stronger" ones.

[@PropheticShadeZ]

No one knows, the math is so hard to find, creative assembly really need to be more transparent with their stats, im almost sure that stronger and faster refers to the signal above unit heads when you press spacebar

[@nielsbertes]

A unit shatters when its leadership goes in thr negative higher than their base leadership. Example: Squigs have a base LS of 36. When they go to -37 LS then they are shattered. The army losses penalty is hard to explain because there are many factors contributing to it. The most influential (or easy to see) one is the balance of power. When it shifts too far in one direction army losses kick in. Its a constant -120 LS penalty which is enough to shatter most units (that have already taken damage etc.). The 'stronger units nearby' is only a buff and not a debuff afaik. It appears when e.g. a unit of spearmen fights alongside a unit of greatswords. Im not too sure on that one though.

[@DIEGhostfish]

@@nielsbertes I have only seen Faster and Steonger as a debuff.

[@TheManofthecross]

@@nielsbertes unbreakable units are immune to the army loss penalty anyway though a army of nothing but unbreakable moral units would do just fine in the LS penalty set up. I mean I had that happen with volkmar having unbreakable when the rest of the army ran away on him and he stood his ground and fought on inflicting a lot of damage before he went down and almost turned the battle around.

[@frankmc8355]

I picked up TW:WH again recently, and I have a lot of questions... - How do you break a unit other than by making it rout 4 times? - Playing as Tomb Kings, it seems like enemy units rally A LOT. Like, unless I send a flying unit to hound them to the end of the map they will turn around three times every time before breaking. Is that because they lose the fear debuff when they scurry out of range? - When you hit a unit with a spell, does it actually kill any of the troops in the stack or just reduce everybody's hitpoints evenly? - Aren't large, single-entity units basically ALWAYS surrounded whenever they're in melee? How does the game decide when a single entity unit is flanked?

So this is why tier 1 deckhands are better than tier 5 depth guard. They have more hp, therefore do not get such big leadership penaltyes as it takes more time to get damage, do not start to desintegrate and lose even more.

My biggest problem is keeping enemy units in the fight for long enough to wipe them out. No use to have every marauder horseman at half health and the unit flee when they come back next battle at full health. When im comfortable to win, i select units i do not wish to see in the next battle and rotate magic and artillery fire between them, so they can loose the debuffs before the next shot hits. Stack the debuffs and they run in 15 seconds. Do them one at a time and give them some breathing space, and you can kill much more before they run for the hills. Then there are less to worry about next time. Especialy cavalry and monster units when i lack cavalry. Rather pin and kill now i have the upper hand, then see them in a next battle with more problems...
