FORMATION GUIDE! - Total War: Warhammer Beginners Guide

A look into Battle Formations, Battle Lines and controlling your flanks. And how to deal with your enemies!

[ilink]

This is the first time I found a video that explains clearly how to arrange your formation effectively, and it works so well!

Informative and to the point. Well done.

I played Empire vs Greenskins and I lost. After watching your tutorial and changing some units, I won more or less easily at the same battlefield. Thank you!

Coming back and seeing these after “Noob Mistakes”...death lines...

[Hedhnter]

This was actually informative even for a series veteran, good job

Came here because of a friend's recommendation and it was an instant subscribe. Real good, detailed yet concise information catered to new players. Other channels just don't do a good enough of a job explaining. Good work man!

The historical term used for your defensively angled deployment of units on the end of the line, at 6:39, is "refused".

e.g. If you angle the right spear unit back, then your "right side is refused" or "the right flank spears are deployed refused".

Great video, and I like that you didn't waste time with less than important info and/or bad jokes. It was professional, natural, and informative. Not too long, not too short. Good job bud, subscribed.

This is an excellent, comprehensive beginners guide. No presumptions, every concept mentioned gets explored. Kudos.

Even though I love the total war series, (shogun 2 is my favorite) I've never felt like i was particularly good at it. Your videos have been very helpful in improving my game.

As a fresh player to the Total war series, I had troubles beating the AI (even on easy) until I really worked on my formation using this guide (and other similar guides).

I always put the archers behind the infantry from the beginning and some way or another the flank always broke down, leaving my isolated units vulnerable to cavalry attacks.

Thanks for the video, helped out a ton!

this is the best explanation i found ont he tube, thanks!

My brother has played total war franchise games for years and I just got Warhammer 2. And of course now he wants to battle me.
Hopefully 30 minutes of this channel will make up for years of strategy and actual game play.

Outstanding video. I have barely any experience with rts games and you explained it just flawless. And I never comment on videos, so this is saying something. Thank you

Vampire counts have a unique ability to stretch out as far as they can and then just walk in formation past the enemy line. The units that don't get engaged keeps walking forward. Ending up behind the enemy line. And then they can charge their flanks. Enveloping them. Its literally like a zombie invasion manoeuver. And you are almost always guaranteed to outnumber your enemy. And your entire army is made up of melee units. So no units have to stay behind the line or be defended like artillery and archers. Just go all in.

solid info, great commentary, and respectful to new players. Subscribed

[nicklovelight]

thats how probably machiavelli of our times explanation would look like. Big thumb Up! Real art of war, even more then just a game, your explanations feel realy deep. Pls continue!

[serendipity]

Hello!

Thank you so much for this guide. I just started playing Warhammer II last night. I made it about 60 turns in and realized that I need to research different strategies as this game is very in depth.

Super excited to get back at it!

[elwingwhite]

Awesome vid. Thanks :)
Playing TW games for 17 years now, but never played online. So I struggle with "not-using-pause-key" and never play the battle in realtime. Watching you play helps me alot to improve and get multiplayer-ready :)
EDIT: Beware when I'm ready in another 17 years 😑

Remember when there were actual formations and you could lock your formation?
