click on the link above the name of this short. It will take you straight to the video. If you don't see the link the name of the full vid is the same as the name of this short. Or search secret splash attack totalwar.

You sir are a gentlemen.

afaik they still take damage from spells and ranged attacks that hit them - they're just not eligible for being targeted by melee strikes. But given the fact that they're not attacking themselves I think it evens out. If anything, this whole interaction increases Grimgor's survivability in melee because he's not being hit by as many enemies while he's standing around waiting for his melee attack cooldown.

@@SleepyFen I disagree, in warfare getting knocked down might as well be a death sentence in melee combat. It's the reason why in something like DnD if you attack something that is prone, you get advantage on your attack rolls increasing the likelihood that you hit.

@@sk8paradoxity Yeah but it doesn't matter if you disagree because the game mechicanics don't work that way. In real life yeah getting knocked down would be brutal but in only war it makes them do a animation to get up and then they can't attack while doing that and have to walk back into combat a very short distance.

@@sk8paradoxity total war warhammer is a game of fantasy spectacle, not scientifically accurate battle simulations. Single entities having the ability to send units flying increases their prowess in melee combat, at no cost to themselves, by basically making them take less damage during the cooldown of their melee attack. It's a stylistic choice which adds to the spectacle without making them completely overpowered or having to make them essentially invisible on the battlefield.

@@SleepyFen usually the characters with splashy damage effects are creatures that have like the strength of 10 men canonically. IE - lizardmen being 8 foot tall sauruses swinging clubs that hit like pillars. Kroxigors being 2 stories tall canonically swinging literal pillars. Yeah they're gonna go flying - the physics are there XD You might see an empire general swing their sword and knock a single target over (and they usually die).

Oh God be prepared to sink an endless amount of hours into the game man

Bro get the tomb kings dlc one of the best

dont try kairos even tho he recomended it for new players, kairos is a very hard campaign, also realms of chaos sucks cock, immortal empires is so much better

@TheGingusa Thanks! I was planning to start out with Khorne or the Demon Prince, any tips?

Doesn’t exist

Iirc, ranged attacks don't have splash parameter at all. Each projectile that hit the... hit box of each individual model in unit - deals damage. The missiles however have parameters of how much targets it can pierce through. Arrows can hit 1 model, cannon balls can hit nearly 6-10 models in unit. Each piercing do the full damage of missile, so cannon ball can delete half-a-unit of spearmen if hitted from rear in a perfect shot. And explosive damage also haven't splash max parameter, it deal damage to every model in blast radius - in wh3, damage bot mitigated from center to the corners of the splash radius, so explosions deal really good damage to low-hp models, such as elves and rats.

Oh and I forgot that unit types of sizes have various "missile stopping power" parameter, which don't allow to missiles pierce through. In example, trolls parameter is high enough to stop ballista bolts and cannon balls, so each of those missiles can hit only 1 model of troll - instead of multiple infantry models. The more larger unit size, the more that parameter and more it stops big missiles. In last 5.0.3 hotfix, CA fixed thunderbarge missile stop power to 20, I think it is nearly maximum parameter which could be, so every single missile don't pierce trough the thubderbarge and don't fly after it hit it.

@@easytanksgaming3238 Didn't they primarily change the hitbox as well so most missiles wouldn't just completely go through it and miss?

@wowddo dunno, didn't play for few days and haven't seen new thunderbarge yet

​@@wowddo Yeah there was a collision issue with the Thunderbarge balloon where missiles would just fly through it instead of hitting it, artificially making the Thunderbarge much harder to hit. Now it's practically impossible to miss, which is good.

Probably not, smaller unit sizes tend to be horribly balanced against single entities and non-single entity artillery gets more or less completely screwed

@@Fire_Gaming64 dang that sucks since it's such an obvious balancing issue
