This is me, but without the "proper" bit. I've yelled at my gunpowder units to "FIRE, IDIOTS!" plenty of times (but I swear it works).

@@robertsprankle6127😂

@@robertsprankle6127 you say it works but how common is it that ranged units don't fire and run into melee instead, despite being on fire at will, guard mode, and melee turned off?

@@hooktraining3966 Never, sounds like a skill issue lmao. Only time they do that is if you are litteraly out of ammo, have the melee mode on or use the ALT key to switch your click to a melee attack.

He's always been that way. There's an ancient video where he was a teenager doing the same thing.

classic greenskins

"Well den, itz woodnt be a cool looking Fite now woodit-?!"

greenskins racing each other to be first at de humies they worried they wont get their share.

I imagine it like the rest of the forces maneuvering around, till they get to the right position.

they were racing each other to be first in case they missed out on the fighting. They thought there was not enough Hummies to go around.

I love when CA buffs units in campaign like that (within reason of course). I remember when they reduced the tier of Ushabti for tomb kings and the campaign felt so much more rewarding.

Makes Crossbowmen feel entirely redundant unless you want to not bother with firing lanes for your soldiers

Yeah I still use X Bow for back line, no need ot worry about lanes or line of sight but certainly a lot less than I used to

Perfect vigor is so powerful for that exact reason

With vampires you encounter this more often, though it is more blatant with the additional raising the dead that you do during resting.

@@GafferPerkele I agree. I think it has to do with the melee stats. Lower stamina means lower stats. So maybe having them grow as the troops rest gives the extra push that makes trigger army losses.

@@rumplstiltztinkerstein I have a mod that shows the stat changes due to fatigue, and it is big.

@@shorewall I need that tbh.

@@AkaRystikYARIMAZING!

@@AkaRystik Bro, forget about spearmen (and tactically meaningful, non-blob melee combat, formations, balance and everything else we lost with warhammer). The real sadness is how they ruined guns compared to earlier Total Wars.

ya, guns and tanks in warhammer univers.. perfect.. tank vs pikemen.. wauw thats så funny Its like the new chaos dwarves, they are so bad...

@@donkarnage6986 you mean fun lol.

Ngl I've been struggling with Coast earlygame these past few campaigns I've tried with them, and I'm not sure why. Any tips? I can't seem to make enough income/win battles decisively enough to cover a second army which is pretty brutal with the mods I play with.

@@alexscholz3438 well i play vanilla tww2. But i heard they didnt change vamp coast in 3 but im not shure. Get handgunners as your frontline and learn some gun formations like checkerboard or shevron, because guns are your main source of damage. Usually i try get a morghul haunter or gunnery white in every army, but vampire or deep lore caster will do too. A couple of monsters like crabs or morghules, try for yourself what you find more comfortable. And artillery, usually i go 2 morrars (or 1 mortar 1 queen bess, get queen bess asap, this gun will win battles if used properly) and 2 canons. Later you can replace canons with necrofecs collossus, and your melee line with depth guard. Early game will not be ahrd with queen bess practicly obliterating anything(just be carefull not to shoot it at quick units while theyre on the move), in sieges just break one tower near the edge of the map and get gunnery white to give ammo to bess, whats left probably could be finished with lords and heroes, but if you got a genuene melee unit go ham after yo spent all the ammo. For legendary lords and the ones you get through research get the artillery building asap, you get an extra army ability from it, and keep upgrading it, free spells is free spells. And if you want to, get the replenishment building in the horde, youll get necrofecs recruitment in like 1-2 turns right on the army if you want a doomstack of them. Leviathans are good too. Protect you gun line and keep them firing into the enemy troops and youll be golden. Also watch put for enemy ranged units, undead dont take well to being shot, especially with magic or fire. You can get some ethereal units like sirens for the frontline, but just not against magic. I guess thats the sum of it, further is more about different lords and what they buff in their faction. Good luck i hope i helped.

I like doing the same thing with Cathay. Miao Ying my beloved.

This wasn’t even cheese, just masterful rifle line commanding.

Just saw that in theaters two nights ago. It's been over 20 years since I got to do that, lol.

They could also just give chaos factions a buff if you play an order faction, or vice versa when you play chaos. This way when you consolidate you run into a green waaaaggghhhhh that's almost completely wiped out the dawi.

There has to be some anti player bias as otherwise every enemy would remain on 3 settlements and a level 1 LL when you meet them. I killed Karl Franz when he was lev 16, so in theory he gained no XP from that fight, when he respawned he was level 25. My only real gripe with the anti player bias is they get a speed hack. My marauders have 95 speed and are ALWAYS caught up by empire cav/heroes with 78 speed, it's such blatant cheating it makes me angry.

@@Lones555 about karl franz my guess is he just fought some other battles in the mean time, all characters players included get some passive exp but to get 9lvl it would take so much time you'd have time to conquer the world. about the speed there is no cheat the only stat cheat the ai get is if you give it to them in your campaign setting before starting it, the cav manage to temporarely outspeed your marauders because of the charge bonus speed they have if you run away from them, or possibly your marauders being tired or not running or a combination of theses but no addition of stats cheat for the ai more than it is shown

I fucked over Wulfrik in a Malakai campaign. I had taken the Norsca settlements to complete that grudge but I was getting attacked all over and couldn’t hold them. Luckily I managed one turn with all required. So instead of trying to keep them I just started selling them one by one to Kostaltyn. Wulfrik was also at war with him but as I sold the settlements one per turn he kept marching past Kostaltyn’s new settlement to try to get to my next one. In the end it was Kostaltyn that destroyed Wulfrik

You can add a mod to remove the anti player bias but it WILL make the game easier

The elves are too pretentious to use guns those haha

longrifles are scarier in Elspeth's faction imo as you can get hochland scopes characters

@@phantomthunder203 Longrifles and Ironsides with regenerating ammo can’t be ignored though

You very much hit a point where never get close to running out of ammo. Engineer lord gives a few bonuses to it, tech tree gives more, workshop gives even more, and refills on horses, wagons, or engineers fill in the gaps. Mid to end game gun armies don't even think about ammo anymore.​@@kindredhunter1887

That's called sentinels of Astaril tho

That's sounds awful... I mean, her dragon breath is not a breath - it's f0king molecular desintegrator plasma fusion laser9000, ridiculous sh1t on its own. And u tell, that this can get unlimited no cd uses xD

to be lore accurate with Nepoleon wouldn't there need to be a dwarf involved?

​@@MusMasiTHAT'S GOING IN THE BOOK

@@MusMasi The word “Short” definitely entered your thoughts whilst typing that out. There hasn’t been a grudge this serious since the ruler of Ostermark shorted the dwarf engineers two pennies for the castle they built him.

what's fun is playing karaz a karak and seeing skarsnik and a friend with waarghs coming before turn ten

@@jacobenke7936yeah I always take him out in the first 5 turns just spam dwarf warriors every turn on the way over and you easily overpower him

And then every time YOU use the damn spell it either gets stuck casting or just smashes into the terrain...

Orc magic is so annoying with their quite powerful low cd, low cost spells that the AI just seems to use better than any player and also more often. I do wonder if the AI gets some hidden CD and WoMs cheats.

@@Gorgondantessyeah those are completely useless in my hands as well…

It's a whole other layer for sure. Once I learned how to use them better, the game become EVEN MORE immersive

you should stick to chaos, greenskins, lizardmen, or ungrim

@@DIEGhostfish All Infantry gun units where the double line formation would result in a lot of friendly fire. If the hill is steep enough or the enemies are coming down a hill it might not be necessary - but i generally place them either wide or in a square with some space between the units so they can turn fast (sides of formations for example)
