You can make your video +10 minutes last to make some extra "income" to boost your "leadership" and reduce "upkeep" for your own "unit". UA-cam unique building is very useful you know...
I think what would have been a little thing you could have added with the Wood Elf tech buildings would be to also add that you can do the same for Bretonnia economic buildings.
- Press N for zoom (Good for cinematics) - Hold shift, right click and drag to draw a waypoint as shown in the video, but you can also connect it to an enemy, so your units will follow the waypoint then attack. Perfect for flanking.
would it be good for flanking? when getting near the enemy will they auto charge to get the best out of the engagement? because thats half the point of flanking in the first place :P
@@whiskizyo2067 I think if you are using the, shift, R click and drag method they will auto charge, but when following waypoints, they tend to stop at each one briefly, which can mess up your charge or end up getting counter charged.
you can shift click to set a few waypoints, and then shift right click a unit and from there on out it will move as it normally would when given a attack order, great for ordering cavalry around a front line to attack archers or siege, they will still charge, less reliable for rear charging, since it's more likely that the unit you targeted won't be easily accesible anymore. You can still order cavalry to run around and behind the enemy army, only to then manually order them to attack a unit. Shift left click for the waypoints and then shift right click for a rear charge still works, but the delay means you sometimes attack units that are no longer exposed.
Good video, I love how most of these "features" are CA dropping the ball and now it's a feature... like the second quick first person shot follow-up and the buildings for elves.
Didn't know any of the cinematics, the flying unit movement, the fleets or the 1st person faster firing function. Very good video, hoping to see more :D
I'm impressed I thought this would be one of those shitty videos talking about really obvious stuff, but I didn't know about a fair bit of these :) Especially the first person rapidfire, I guess I have to git gud at artillery now! The flying units info is very helpful as well, I use a lot of flying units! I was also unaware of some advanced controls in the battlescape, so thanks for pointing it out :)
6:57.. ONE of the most useful things.. ? THE most useful thing. I had no fucking idea, I've been moving my troops one battalion at a time to get them into the exact position I desired as you can't select multiple groups and expect them to keep their current position, relative to one another, and move them forward in that stance as they spread out into this worthless, horizontal gimpline. You have saved me SO much time and many pauses with this information. I am in your debt, sir.
Well, I'm glad that you know now. It's pretty much the most useful way to control units in battles. You can use control as well while doing this to rotate your formation.
You actually can do that. If you group the unites and click the little padlock icon you will be able to move them and they will remain in the desired formation.
@@ArjanL1979 Oh yeah I should have mentioned about having multiple groups, or simply selecting the units/entire army and keep them in their current formation. By holding Alt and dragging the selected units into position. I wish I knew this when I first started playing lol
got 600 hours into the game, the only thing i didnt know was about the upkeep costs for mounts. good video with nice clips i can tell alot of work went into this
The ships are cool, they are indicative of Man O' War. A Warhammer Table Top game back in the day, and now actually a pretty solid assassins creed black flag clone, with the assassin shite left out... and yes i said SHITE and not shit, because it's regal af.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but as a side note the Dwarven sea transport is the Nautilus submersible from GW's ancient Man O' War tabletop sea combat game. I still have a box of them at my parents' place somewhere...
Hey there, could you make a video about the stalk ability? What is the normal spotting range for the different units, and how long is the spotting range when facing a stalking unit?
About the Wartarget, i knew about it and it was very important for me when i played Chaos. It helped me a lot that my vasals attacked my enemies in West while i brougth Chaos in East.
205 hours in game and I didn't know pretty much any of these just the fleets, holy shit that advance commands for army control are really going to setup up my game thanks for that man.
I didn't know about the double move order for flying units, makes me wonder does the AI know this or they always give double move order and tire the unit? Also about the War Target you can even set targets for individual armies instead of the entire faction.
Had no idea you could replace the lord, remember it gave me a lot of grief playing the beastmen when my lords got assassinated, because even when they come back I thought there was no way to get the buildings back in their possession
Total War Zone well if the lord dies you have to select a new lord to lead the army but all the buildings are still there just under a different lord, I assume if you can just swap the lord from the available lord pool after he's healed it would be the same as before he was wounded
Still don't understand how to move your units like you did in 10. My units will always make a ligne, and won't keep the formation a order first....I'm maybe a dumbass, but hold alt, and left click didn't work...(and the game same the same thing as you....really don't udertstand how people do that...really hard for me to organize my front lin without that key)
the aritllery thing dosent work for me i dont know but if i go in the aim mode i cant fire another shoot till the artillery is reloaded.. or is it only a goblinthrower thing that u cant fire faster?
1. First Person Rapidfire: Didn't know that you could shoot right after AI does. That quite OP. Didn't know about shorter reload times when shooting manually. 2. Unique Fleet Skins: Knew 3. The cost of mounts: Knew 4. Flying Units & Fatigue: Happy at last to know what that speed button does on flying units. 5. Hellcanon Sniping: Knew 6. Replacing Legendary Lords: Knew 7. Wood Elves Offices & Techs: Knew 8. Finding Provinces: Knew 9. Individual War Targets: Knew 10. Advanced & Cinematic Controls: Knew Great Video. Seems even after 500 hours playtime I learned something here.
would love to see another like this but more focused on the campaign aspects of it. ie. using multiple agents to maximize profits in specific/special capitals spamming small gifts early game to get quick confederations (small gifts are $400 early game and go up to $2000 late game) which diplomacy ratings you need for certain deals (15-25 will get you non aggression/ trade agreements, 25-35 military access and so on) you can declare war on a target without them bringing their allies into the war by going into diplomacy with one of their other enemies and agreeing to join their war against that target (usually can ask for money to do it as well) as vamps, you never need to build a single military building anywhere, you can get massive battle site markers by raising a cheap stack or 2 of zombies to accompany you into any battle and make sure most of them die to get a massive body count at the end of the battle. if the death toll is over 4000 then you will be able to raise any unit in the vampire roster from the dead after a few turns. i dunno, shit like that would be pretty useful to a lot of players and im sure you can find things that i dont know as well. either way, i enjoyed this video dude, welcome back!
well, not entire netherlands were swamps and most of those swamps are already gone. Water germans might be better since most of the netherlands is underwater
Been playing Warhammer total war for years and there were some features mentioned here that i had known about but totally forgotten existed and stopped using long ago that are actually very useful lol. One thing that i havnt found info on is capturing artillery units. When winning against an army of the same faction in campaign it is possible to gain their artillery units after the battle by capturing them. I have 100% done this with dwarves cannons, tomb kings catapults and i think empire....But im not actually sure how i did it. Maybe it just a chance effect if the crew are driven off the artillery piece and totally wiped out, or maybe they need to be kept alive. Im really not sure of the mechanics but it rarely happens because you need to attack an army firstly of the same faction that has artillery with your army that isn't a full 20 stack to allow the artillery unit to be captured at all, so thats a fairly rare scenario. I just dont know if its 100% chance, if all factions can do it, if theres any in battle factors that count (like killing or not killing the artillery unit)
Another thing to add on regarding your first person artillery. It auto reloads whenever you enter first person mode. so, instead of waiting the full 10 secs, once your projectile hits, just cancel first person, and go back in, and fire again. Rinse and repeat.
I have seen this in many videos and still dont know how to do it ... when you are charging enemy with all your army ... how you do the charge with all at once on different targets without needing to pause the game ? I mean like ''line vs line'' charge
I know what you mean. I think you're supposed to group your units in a locked formation (G) and then give a attack order. Not completely sure though, can't check right now.
Thanks man! Didnt know the thing with the flying units and those SHIFT-commands. I love Total War and this will come in pretty handy. Definetly subscribed
First real video! If you have any feedback or suggestions please let me know. Timestamps are in the description. How many of these were new for you?
Pin your comment! I didn't know 1,2,3,4,10
Thanks!
Total War Zone Thanks man. Incredible vidieo. It will help me a lot.
Thanks for the kind words!
You can make your video +10 minutes last to make some extra "income" to boost your "leadership" and reduce "upkeep" for your own "unit". UA-cam unique building is very useful you know...
I have 342 hours in this game and nine of these were new for me.
Well, that means the video was a success I guess :)
I put 970 hours into the game and the only one I didn't know about was 3 (flying units and fatigue).
Some very useful ones!
I think what would have been a little thing you could have added with the Wood Elf tech buildings would be to also add that you can do the same for Bretonnia economic buildings.
@@xtotalwarzone very useful indeed thanks
Same, though im only at about 600 hours, however I never new about the flying fatigue.
You can control the gobbo for the doomdiver too I think.
Yes, you can, but I thought it's way more obvious for that artillery unit.
Yeah, but the description of the hellcannon say the projectiles can be guided so is no surprise.
The Bestman fleet is a narwhal.
Can only found Warhammer 40K sources on this. Do you have a link to some lore?
Lol no, I mean the sea creature looks like a narwhal. You know, whales with unicorn horns?
Ha he took you seriously..
CHAOS WHALE
Fish for the Fish god?

Another interesting fact is that heroes in each race also have a different fleet skin to the army's fleet skin.
Ah, I see. It's on the list for ep. 2! Thanks!
got 600 hours into the game, the only thing i didnt know was about the upkeep costs for mounts. good video with nice clips i can tell alot of work went into this
i didnt even know there were fleets in this game LOL
Well, you know now!
NickRz How?
Just sail a army in to any body of water and they will automatically get in ships.
i never noticed they had their own skin for the ships xD
I really dig that the Beastmen use a wooden box strapped to a narwhal. I lol'ed.
200+ hours, and my mind is blown at "manual artillery."
By far the best total war game, and my favourite strategy game ever. Cant wait for the 2nd one!
Thank you for the artillery tip, it comes in handy with the hell cannons as a god's gift. More skulls for the skull throne

Be mindful when you replace legendary lords, there is a 5 turn wait whenever you do disband them so think ahead if you really need to do this.
Good point!
very informative I did not know about some of the controls in 10 or the mount upkeep!
Thanks, glad you found it useful.
4 of these were new to me. Thank you. Doubleshooting helstorm rocket batteries triggers people online now!
+madlarkin8 Don't blame me ;)
Really liked the video by the way. I learned a few things thanks man
Glad to hear that, thanks :)
What's better than a dancing Wurrzag?
FOUR dancing Wurrzags.
EXACTLY!
Thanks, these were really helpful. Half of them I didn't know.
GOSCH !!
That replace the Lords....
It helps alot by the Chaos, if a Agent knock ur Lord out.
Thanks
Nice you the man 👍🏼 subscribed and liked!
Awesome stuff, thanks !
Incredible tips, all new to me.
Great video mate

"The Woodelves obviously sail on a lot of wood"
I just imagined that in my head... And it was a hilarious image.

im impressed. keep it up. just became a fan
+Aazam Mohammed Thanks!
one out of tens but still greatful.....didnt know u could set multiple war targets....good news!
Wow i really didnt knew this
I have around 1000 hours in both games combined and i never knew you could "firstperson" fire a canon
Thanks for the knowledge, man!
Glad you found it useful :)
great video, just bought this on steam for £9 in a sale
I had no idea about flyer fatigue or replacing Lords! This will really change how I play flyer-heavy lists like VC and Wood Elves.
Yeah, glad you found it useful.
Some very interesting stuff here! thnx TW
Glad you found it useful. Thanks!
I didn't know ANY of these. Holy hell do I feel like a noob now.
When confederating with other factions, you can actually get them to pay you if they really want to confederate
Good video. thanks man.
Glad you found it useful, thanks.
FYI, K to remove UI has been a thing since shogun 2

Yes true, good point. I don't know how the AI controls these units now that you're asking. Should check that ingame!
Going to get back into Warhammer, always useful yo to have a refresher course on things I've forgotten.
Jesus, I didn't know any of this, including that you can take over in first-person.
Awesome thanks
Fascinating and very useful, I didn't know about any of these.
Good to hear, thanks!
I have nearly 300 hours in the game, and I didn't know the flying units one and the alt and right click one

Thank you friend!
I knew all of these except for the hold shift and drag to set waypoints
Nice!
I would love to see a part 2. great vid 👍
There will be one, thanks!
it makes no sense than you cant disband a legendary lord but you can replace and then disband his replacement. Why make us do the extra steps?
I have no idea to be honest.
Well my guess someone slightly messed up while creating the interface for Lord replacement.
300 h in the game, didnt knew about the 1st PS artilery, fatigue on flying units and the cost of the mounts :))). Ty for pointing out these ...
1. Things You Didn't Know About Total War: Warhammer : THERE IS FIRST PERSON???????
I didnt knew about 1,3,4,6. 6 would have been useful for a lot of my playthroughs -.- ....
Yep, you know now though!
And knowing is half the battle!
in WH2 they should put you can control any soldier, monster, hero, in first/third person fighting like mount and blade style
That was a good list, I only knew parts of the last one
Thanks, glad that you found it useful!
Amazing tips! I haven't been playing much, there just seems too much compared to Rome 2 lol.
Thanks, I'm still playing a lot of Rome 2 as well. Video about that game out later today actually.
6:50 OMG THANKS!!!!
Best Warhammer video I have watched. Very informative. Thank you for getting to the point right away!
glad i watched this.. thanks :)
Thumbs up for replacing lord. 5 campaigns no idea.
I knew all of them except for the wood elves because I only played them once in the season of revelation.
Nice!
the aritllery thing dosent work for me i dont know but if i go in the aim mode i cant fire another shoot till the artillery is reloaded.. or is it only a goblinthrower thing that u cant fire faster?
I am looking for some one to play co op on the grand campaign. Any one want to? Just got wood elf DLC
HOLY SHIT. A WHYNDED MANTICOR!
What good is shooting artillery faster, if I can't hit anything with it.
I am bad at geometry.
I have a few Hundred hours in the TWW series and I was pleasantly surprised to learn a few things.
I really didn't knew number 4
You know now :)
I hate when my troops get all wine-ded before a battle and stumble around on the battlefield.
number 11 its the most draining on your wallet so far and also the least immersive and fun
I didnt know anyone of these except that wood elves dismantling building one lol
I would love a game like for honor with a warhammer skin over it
Oh my god I knew none of these aside from the boat skins... Son of a bitch...
1. First Person Rapidfire:
Didn't know that you could shoot right after AI does. That quite OP.
Didn't know about shorter reload times when shooting manually.
2. Unique Fleet Skins: Knew
3. The cost of mounts: Knew
4. Flying Units & Fatigue:
Happy at last to know what that speed button does on flying units.
5. Hellcanon Sniping: Knew

Turns out i was Jon Snow about all but 2 of these things!
Only one I did not know was the flying one.(Good to know for sure!)
would love to see another like this but more focused on the campaign aspects of it.
ie. using multiple agents to maximize profits in specific/special capitals
spamming small gifts early game to get quick confederations (small gifts are $400 early game and go up to $2000 late game)
which diplomacy ratings you need for certain deals (15-25 will get you non aggression/ trade agreements, 25-35 military access and so on)
you can declare war on a target without them bringing their allies into the war by going into diplomacy with one of their other enemies and agreeing to join their war against that target (usually can ask for money to do it as well)
as vamps, you never need to build a single military building anywhere, you can get massive battle site markers by raising a cheap stack or 2 of zombies to accompany you into any battle and make sure most of them die to get a massive body count at the end of the battle. if the death toll is over 4000 then you will be able to raise any unit in the vampire roster from the dead after a few turns.
i dunno, shit like that would be pretty useful to a lot of players and im sure you can find things that i dont know as well. either way, i enjoyed this video dude, welcome back!
Yeah, there is definitely a lot more. I picked 10 out of a pretty large list. Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely use this for a next one.
i reconize the accent. are you by any chance dutch/belgian?
Yes, beware the Dutch accent.
I think dutch
Yep
Dutch lol, probably from Rotterdam, most people here talk that way
well, not entire netherlands were swamps
and most of those swamps are already gone. Water germans might be better since most of the netherlands is underwater
I would love to know what the lore says about the beastmen fleet.. does anyone know?
I've read somewhere that it is a "Narvhal", but I can only find Warhammer 40K sources.
Hmm ok ive saw a post on reddit to a similar fleet but it was used by the Skaven.. maybe there are inspired by this one its called Skabrus
Total War Zone
BTW narvhals are the tyrannids transport (space) ship
