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...
- 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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...
This was a well made video, every point was explained concisely and having timestamps in description is great! I don't really play warhammer and only knew a couple of these from my limited playtime. Good work!
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 knew about the navy skins for each faction, the different war targets for different allies and (most of) the key combinations for moving your army around. The rest of it was new to me, excellent video :-)
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.
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
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.
Great advice all around, but the last one about moving units in formation without locking them in group was something I didn't even know I needed, thank you!
Love this video and this channel. Very informative and given in a concise manner. I've been out of it for a while and I needed to remember all the tips and tricks
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'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 :)
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?
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!
That was really helpful, thanks. Didnt know any except that you could self target (didnt know about the faster rate of fire tho) and the military target one. And the Alt move.
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.
I went into this video thinking pffffft!!! you can't show me anything new well The lords part was new to me! did not know or see that button before i just ignored it! the flying units i did not know about that speed diff, so all in all good video and very helpful to us! keep up the good work!
np mate! just keep it up, i'll even subscribe you seem like a nice guy. Ignore those trying to tell how to pronounce most people can not speak a second language I know i can't! how you finding the Norsca tribes? i'm in middle of a Chaos with them in as i found Chaos to be extremely easy to play, now it's a little harder! it's took me to turn 250-ish to start reaping off the southern boarders of humans!
+fish head gaming Norsca might be my favourite race so far. Some very unique features. I have yet to try out the updated Chaos campaign. Sounds good though!
i found it very unique with my Chaos one i found it to be more harder due to the unique units they now posses however i found also easier thatr i was allied with wintertooth from the start.
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.
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)
Regarding the Wood Elves Tech: You don't even have to complete the research if you need the building slot. Just Start the tech and you can immediately tear dowen the tech building.
point 5 is the same for the doomdiver in point 10, hold shift plus drag is better. If you set waypoints, the unit will wait till it's reformed at every waypoint
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.

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.
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.
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 :)

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?
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
I don't actually know how this works with horde factions. I'm not sure if you keep the buildings to be honest.
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
Sounds reasonable, nice!
Finaly a video that didnt tell me 10 things i already knew.
Very helpful with extra details i didn't know about like flying and 1st person firing stats. Never knew about the fleet skins too, so good video.

"The Woodelves obviously sail on a lot of wood"
I just imagined that in my head... And it was a hilarious image.
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.
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
I'm glad that you enjoyed it :)
200+ hours, and my mind is blown at "manual artillery."

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
Awesome video man! A lot of these were new to me. That artillery one is one I will definitely have to try!
Going to get back into Warhammer, always useful yo to have a refresher course on things I've forgotten.
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!
Great video m8, welcome back!
Thanks Doghman! Good to see you.

The flying fatigue and manually control artillery was really helping.. thanks
Glad to hear that, thanks!
Wow i really didnt knew this
Thx! Just started playing the game again. It's so massive and it will take me some time to learn all the controls. But all tips help 💪
Really helpful video. Thanks so much! That mount cost... *Mindblown*.
Glad to hear that, thanks!
WELCOME BACK DUDE
Thanks!
Didn't know any of the campaign ones expect for the lords, thanks allot!

By far the best total war game, and my favourite strategy game ever. Cant wait for the 2nd one!
Whoa. #1,4&5 seem very helpful to know. Thanks!
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
Thanks, these were really helpful. Half of them I didn't know.
Bloody good video, well done ! 4 were new to me
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful!
Nice you the man 👍🏼 subscribed and liked!
brooo that was very very very amazing thank you so much
Great Video !! Thanks for all the tips man
Thanks!
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 ...
When holding alt to move your forces you can also click control to turn them as well :) comes in handy when lining up towards the enemy.
Yep, great tip!
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.
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!
Great info, the last tip is also very useful for past Total War titles. (though it changes for some of the games)
GOSCH !!
That replace the Lords....
It helps alot by the Chaos, if a Agent knock ur Lord out.
Thanks
Great video, thank you. I've logged probably 1200 hours and only knew 4 of these.
Glad to hear that, thanks!
Amazing video that really helped my game. Thanks!!!

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.

I never stopped using Hellcannons after watching this video.
You can aim your goblin catapults as well
in WH2 they should put you can control any soldier, monster, hero, in first/third person fighting like mount and blade style
None of this was new to me but I'm really surprised a lot of people didn't know these things
Nice! Must have gotten some hours in then :)
point 5 is the same for the doomdiver
in point 10, hold shift plus drag is better. If you set waypoints, the unit will wait till it's reformed at every waypoint
Good points, thanks!
Does the sniping/guiding of missile work for Goblin Doom Divers? It would make sense as a guideable missile, and would be a game-changer.
Squeeonline yep. Hell cannon and doom diver get the best results.
Didn't know 3, 4, or 7. Thanks!
