"My Lord! Our reinforcing army just outside the gates has been attacked! We must aid them!" "Yeah but there's ONE GUY besieging the city. There is naught we can do..." Also, I didn't know about the whole "borrowed movement" thing. That would explain why your armies sometimes have less movement for no reason. I wonder what is going on behind the scenes? Are the army's movement points going negative, so the next turn you have less than you should?

That watch post you dismantled looks like it already found an undercity, so he really didn't need it anymore

A good lesson to take from this one is that if the AI is bearing down on you with a seemingly unbeatable cluster of high tier armies, always stall for time rather than do what they want and meet them with what you've got. There's a VERY good chance that at some point they'll split up and/or do something stupid, like the Dark Elves did here by leaving one of their armies where the random High Elf force would reinforce. One decisive victory is all it takes for the momentum to shift.

Streltsi are really bad about having their line of fire blocked. You need to get them in a checker board formation to make use of them. As soon as they're directly behind another infantry unit they don't do much.

Leg to war. Love the auto generated subtitles

This video with your easy difficulty disaster campaign autoresolve problem have in the space of 3 days upped my warhammer 3 game massively. First off, I dont know how after playing 1,2 and 3 I didn't know I had the AI modifier set to max. I usually play on Hard/Very Hard, but generally still struggled in battles, I set that to the easiest setting and my god I am now a tactical master, finally my tactics are working more often, and I am enjoying the battles more. I will eventually work that back up to a harder setting, but its nice to finally feel like rear charging was working as I expected it to, as before I still had a high chance even when playing my best the AI would just grind through me in the battles. And today I see you trading settlements for useful things like peace. I did this yesterday for the first time, by trading away settlements that were about to be attacked by wood elves (early chaos campaign), it worked amazingly, I basically kept moving this wood elves army away, trading settlements id lose anyway, give them to the orks, got myself a vassal out of it. Dont usually like vassals, but it felt too funny not to do; chaos with ork vassals! what could go wrong?! Anyway, big respect for all the dedication, my favourite total warhammer channel. Love still learning and actually getting better!

All Kislev factions broke their alliances with me over some tiny savage orc army that randomly spawned in my path. Forgot to uncheck that damn box.

It's similar to the situation you had with three skaven armies and you had three options and chose option 4, attack.

So, if you use a mod like SFO that includes a lot of unit caps then you’ll need a lot of barracks buildings in order to field more high tier units, but otherwise, it’s best to concentrate your recruiting in a select few provinces so you get all the recruit rank and recruitment slot buffs in specific places
