    TOP TIP: Holding shift to give a unit waypoints is also beneficial when attacking multiple units. For example, hold shift to draw a path for a cavalry unit to get around the back of a group of archers, and whilst still holding shift proceed to click attack on each of the enemy ranged units. Your cavalry will then attack the first unit, route it, then automatically attack the second, and so on. Makes micro'ing cavalry much easier!

    Ranged units get a hidden buff when they level, towards their accuracy. It's not shown on the unit card, but it is there and is displayed on the stats website. It's most notable on artillery whose shots one can track easily. I noticed you've tested this on Hellcannons, but Hellcannon's have homing projectiles so they don't make for good reference/control.

    Yep , wanted to add this but figured someone would already have said it. Artillery, especially inaccurate artillery which have wide zone of dispersion benefit huge from extra accuracy. Less for most regular ranges units and accurate artillery. Mortars for example can do nearly+30% damage on avg from adding xp.

    8:30: That's actually a really innovative use of the about face command, and I've never thought of it... but it's no the point of the key... the point is for units whose facing matters during manoeuvre. In other words: guns, spears, etc.. And I'd argue it's not a very niche key; I certainly use it perhaps once a minute! When cavalry ambushes you from behind, you've finished shotting off fleeing targets who ran behind your line, or you're forming a detachment to hold off enemies etc.. When you combine it with the arrow keys it's VERY powerful for mechanically directing your linemen without the mouse.

    One thing that i have a lot of my friend asking, is how I keep my archers from runing all over the place, say you target a unit with them and than forget about it, next thing you know, the unit have routed and your missile is chasing them right into melee, setting the unit to guard, means that if the unit runs out of range, your missile will stop trying to shoot them, if on free-fire, they than just find a new target. It also means, that even if they get charge by say a lord, they tend to keep shooting on the target given, even as the lord is killing them, which tend to get more value out of them from what i have seen, as they mostly won't get away from the lord anyway or beat him in melee. Don't know how many don't know this, but since I have people asking about it, I thought I might as well add it here.

The alt for ranged is also useful since it won't swap the unit completely into melee mode so you can easily order them to start shooting again if the unit they're fighting starts running away.

    Great video, I learned a few tricks (and am glad I already knew a few) except... Chevrons buff ranged units' accuracy and reload, which don't show on the unit card. For example, darkshards with 2 chevrons gets a 26 accuracy; base unit has 20. I think that's the percentage chance of hitting, which is modified by range and stuff. Reload decreases from 12.6 to 12.0. Take a look with a little play testing and you will see that chevrons benefit ranged units a lot. I think one of the tool tips will show you the accuracy and reload factors--range, maybe?

    Great video! I only knew half this stuff. Pretty useful and entertaining as always, BUT... *What about charges?* This could be a great topic for a video, since there's a lot of hidden stats and stuff going on around charges that the game does NOT mention at all. Even the mere definition in the game it's unclear. For two years I used to believe that the charge bonus was only applied on Impact. It was just recently when I was informed, thanks to one of Zerks videos, that it's applied on impact, lasts for about 15 seconds and decreases gradually on that time. It'll be good to know more things, like: -Minimum charge distance -Effective angle for charge defence -Is it applied per unit or per entity? -Does the influence of the terrain affects the charge bonus? (water, forests, angles of inclination like running up/down hill) -If a few charging entities of a unit hit something with charge defence, does the charge is denied for the whole unit or just those entities? -If a charging infantry unit clashes with a charging cavalry, even after being sent to the air, their full charge bonus still applies or, partially, or is completely denied?

    Water affects all units of rougly man-size. They get 80% melee attack, and their charge bonus for melee attack will be 80% as well. Speed is 80% as well, and this affects charge bonus as well. Aquatic units get 120% melee attack and defence, so the charge bonus should have the same on its melee attack component. Woods do the same for larger units as water does for smaller. 80% again. Slopes in/decrease speed and accelleration. Charge defence is not a debuff on the charging unit. It is the defence of the attacked unit, so only applied to the models of said that actualy fight. They do get the crashed into effect, disrupting the formation. So if your charge hits 30 peasants and one spearman, the peasants are still toast. The charge bonus lasts for about 15 seconds, but it starts before the actual charge. Pause a campaign game before a charge, mouse over leadership, and see a +15 leadership bonus for charging. Thats when it triggers all other buffs as well. Infantry units doing a counter charge spend most of the bonus time flying around, landing badly, getting up, and 'time!' Those who do not fly around still get the buff tho, so counter charging swordsmen has a point

    The second tip with the Unit Cards does also work very good in Ambush-Battles (in Custom Battles). If you change their position while building the army (as the defending party) it will affect the position of that unit in the marching column. You can mix your units, so that you have a good amount of Umpf everywhere. Sadly the Card position in the list doesn't get saved (at least for me) and defaults back if loaded.

    Another thing manually aiming your artillery does is that it allows you to shoot much further than the AI could. I was manning the artillery in a friend's coop defense of Helmgart and I was able to shoot the enemy reinforcments while they were only halfway to the wall, while the displayed artillery range only went a little past the wall by itself. We also found out that with some aim you can lob your shells barely over your defenders' heads into the enemies funnelled in the gatehouse.

    Another notable aspect of directly controlling artillery - a lot of artillery pieces (mainly gunpowder) can be used to blast apart a unit that it is engaged in melee with, and it's damn effective.

  • @Master-Wanderer
    @Master-Wanderer6 ай бұрын

    I'm not sure if anyone has ever mentioned this but when your units are engaged in fighting another unit if you click past the unit they're fighting to get them to move forward in to the enemy unit it makes more of your troops from the middle and rear engage in battle rather than just standing watching the front models/men fight.. It increases the models/men of your single unit engage the enemy unit increasing your damage output

    #2 can also be done by Alt (?) clicking each physical unit in the order you want them placed left to right. Alt+ click spears, swords, spears, halberds, then when you right click and drag all the units will be placed in the order you clicked them in, on to the field.

    the manual arty firing is super useful in chaos campaign. Whenever you play a siege, just send all your infantry at the walls and control one of your hellcanons. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes really easy to obliterate the elite infantry sitting atop of the wall.

    As always, again I learned something from your vid, and I think I got most of the game figured out. Two things I just can't get the hang of. One is campaign related(not your thing I know). The other is something even daily streamers have trouble with to explain to me and other players. 1. In campaigns, how to confederate and vassal efficiently. How do things like attacking straight and declare war and cooldown on reliability work? I know you don't do campaign tutorials much, but the way you explain the game is so clear even I understand it. I can implement your tutorials in my own games and succeed, even I only play PvE. 2. What I think would be a real help for PvE and PvP players. Magic. There are a lot of spells. Vortex(moving or stationary), buff or debuff, damage, healing, augment, missile, etc. That's pretty clear to me about magic. One thing I don't understand is this. Spells say target single unit, units, combatant, combatants. Lore of wild. Bray Scream. Strong vs multiple units. Viletide. Strong vs multiple combatants. Traitor-Kin. Strong vs single combatant. Dark magic. Doombolt. Strong vs single unit.

    About shortcuts: you can of course rebind them. I think using the number keys for your your control groups as well as spells in combination with alt is a bit awkward. At least it was for me. So I would rebind them to the F'keys - F1-F6. My brain found it difficult to switch between the two different functions of the numkeys so separating them allowed me to become more comfortable with it.

    13:40 Late for the party, but this also makes your arty units fire either farther or shorter, if they are on a hill. I used to have the dwarf "gattling cannon" on a hill and rain destruction to the other side of the map during my playthrough of TWW1 because you can fire faster and further with it, takes some practice and ranging shots but it is quite effective.

    11. You once mentioned you group your Lord under #1. You don't need to make a group for your Lord. Hitting tilde [`] selects (and zooms to) the Lord. So you can have the Lord in a group, say Repanse and her Questing Knights is group #1, since they'll typically function in the same manner... and still select her individually with tilde for that sweet surround/ability micro.
