Tactics, Game Help, How To Do Better

[Fane Whitefang 🐺]

Well I just made a post the other day and I hate making another post so soon but,

"Bobby sorry to bother you on FB but I saw you play total war warhammer 2 which is kind of surprising, Anyway I find it hard to actually succeed at the game even on normal, I saw your picture of Tyrion killing 2k troops by himself and winning a battle on very hard difficulty, Could you maybe write a guide or something and post it officially on one of the games?, I love the game but I hate that I struggle so could you please help me"

Well to be fair the only reason I do well and have fun in Total War is because the devs do an amazing job of making the game realistic and feel good lol, So I am intelligent or I used to be at least so I often employ real world tactics into my battles, Most notably from Alexander The Great and it actually works which isn't too surprising.

Most people struggle in the battles when learning Total War it's okay we've all been there, The important thing to note is do not panic, Most units or troops are not going to die instantly upon being attacked so you have lots of time in a battle.

Most people overlook basic stuff and then they get crushed for it, For example do you have a line of archer raining arrows down? if you have no spear men protecting these archers then all it takes is one cavalry rush to really hurt you but this is realistic as archers do suffer to wield a bow and switch to melee often they could never carry a shield IRL so as a result they have lower melee in the games.

Your most important part of your army is the front line with a weak front-line you'll have weak results your front-line is the protector of the rest of your army on the field most front-line units for most factions usually beat every other non front-line unit from every other faction unless it is specifically anti infantry usually monsters and larges lords etc you wanna try and use your front-line in combination with support from lords or mages etc to try and make it go in your favour and it it's not going in your favour you need to try and find other ways to make it go in your favour, For example I'm currently playing Clan Eshin in my run currently cause i'm still not super confident on them so I came back to this game on this account to learn them more, So that faction loses every fight straight up front to back-line army v army they pretty much to lose every other faction in a straight up fight, So you have to do everything in your power when playing them to make sure that no fight is ever fair lol and that's where the beauty of these games really is in that for every factiion and every lord how they wanna play and do battle and map is always different .

Protect your flanks, your more powerful units, use lords correctly for example Deathmaster Snikch he excels at hiding and running fast he's built this way so he can ambush other lords his first attack on a lord from hidden state usually does a lot of damage but if he stays in a fight too long he suffers greatly he is not a melee expert fighter he fights quick gets his damage off then you can either choose to dodge and continue to fight or run away for a bit once his dodge skill wears off tho staying in a fight is not advised with him

Recognising this kind of stuff is key to success in these games and using actual tactics, An AI will rush your undefended bacline with archers they aren't dumb lol even on easy difficulty they will do this I mean why would you not if it's free?

1 cavalry can easily disrupt 10 archer units since the archers will naturally run away from a cav and the charge is usually devastating and you can pull back and continue to recharge and recharge and rest and recharge lol

Understand where your army and lord is strongest and fight on your terms try not to fight on the opponents terms lol for example playing Clan Eshin you would not take a frontline versus frontline fight versus dwarves for example at least not without some extensive support from wizards and ranged units because the best clan eshin frontline unit can never beat the weakest dwarven one but that's on purpose because Clan Eshin isn't supposed to fight fairly. So why would you ever fight fairly lol

Weak units need support and protection usually your army should consist off a defence frontline team with a support, an offensive team with a support and a siege/ranged team with a support which you can do so with 20 units allowed this help you deploy tactics to overcome the odds but also note and this is a very important one to note,

Don't get discouraged if you lose a battle ad die and your like 100 turns in and your main armies all died don't get discourage by losing battles cause your hero is still level whatever your buildings are still built and all that stuff it's not really ever over until your dead dead lol

That's all the help I got for you. Try not to mail me to add posts into discussions etc I don't like bothering people i'm a very shy person. There is no needs for my opinion ever in games there's tons of help, content etc already out there dude my skill and knowledge is not unique to just me lol

millions of players know how to play good in Total war ^^ have an awesome day.
