Be careful not to get those troops caught up fighting other units if possible. Keep ranged units behind the line, but send melee units out as soon as possible to intercept the giants. Giants will absolutely devastate groups of soldiers. I like to place them right behind the main line, so they can easily stop or slow the giants before they hit the line. If you are defending against Chaos or the Greenskins, invest in anti-large units as early as possible.A smart enemy will charge through that hole and smash your ranged units. If one of your units breaks the unit they are fighting and takes off in pursuit, you will be left with a huge hole in your line. Order your units to hold ground instead of having them pursue a broken enemy.It’s also a great idea to keep some of them on the outer edges of your main battle line to protect against such tactics. Fast cavalry will always try to out flank and hit your rear troops. If you have anti-cavalry units, keep some of them in the back to guard the rear.Just keep your strengths and weaknesses in mind. Your faction and their abilities play a big role in choosing your formation. If there are no natural barriers to guard your flanks, then make sure to leave some troops behind to guard those ranged units. That means putting your ranged and artillery units behind a wall of strong front line units. Even if you can only protect one flank, you will be better off. Use rivers, hills, rocks, buildings, or anything else that stops or breaks up the enemy forces. They were able to this because they positioned their troops in such a way that the Persians could not get to their flanks. At the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, 300 Spartans defended a narrow stretch of land for days against overwhelming Persian forces. Choose the best position given the terrain available.Tired troops break easier and die faster. Fatigue plays a big role in the Total Warseries and that hasn’t changed in their newest release. The farther the enemy has to march, crawl, slither, etc., the more tired they will be when the actual fighting begins. Always take the high ground if possible and always place your forces as far away from the attacking forces as possible.Where you fight and how you use the terrain will mean the difference between a successful defense or a crushing defeat. It’s true in real estate and it’s true in battle.
Remember - l ocation, location, location.Also for Dogs of War camp, I can only re-train stacks of mercenaries, but can't recruit them if a unit died, then it's gone. I took different settelemnt types (with elf, orc, chaos buildings), but I can only build the same units. Is there any way to get more heavy infantry type of troops (that are not javelin users, like huscarls)? Is there any way to get siege weapons? (assaulting settlements is a nightmare and serious disadvantage atm) Is there any way to get normal knight-like units? (not the light cavalry norscan raiders, they have extremely low attack rate) I have decided to ally with the Empire thus not building chaos temples and stuff. So far the basic units are not too powerful (I'm not fan of these javelin throwing guys, they have low range and by the time they could throw a round the enemy is already in melee). Hey, I started a campaign with Norsca and I'm wondering if it's possible to get better units later at all?
