I am so fucking mad I bough new PC to play this game and I fuckings sucks at it

Would be good to know what faction you are playing and what you mean with great armies.
Orks tend to be one of the easiest enemys, since most of their units have trash armour

What faction are you playing as?

Da boyz are actualy Waaaghin proper now on da campain map. So they snowball, but as soon as you get a good defensible position you can literally chew down army after army if your good and are replenishing.

Tips for a noob dwarf player?

More artillery, more units with raw power. The longer the battle goes, the more trouble you're gonna have. Fuck them up before lines meet
Always chase routing greenskins off the map with cavalry or they'll just keep coming back

just pick dorfs and faceroll through any difficulty

Let the enemy come to you. Use artillery to flush them out of camping. Dorfs have the sturdiest battle lines in the game, especially if you have iron breakers.

I play as an empire, I got Marienburg but I cant even beat these orcs above Marienburg and Croocked men is starting to come and fuck with me and also random beastmen is wandring at my country and I can only play chase and run with him.
I probably fucked my campaign already so I can start it again but please provide some useful tips because otherwise I will probably end the same

Get those walls up in the Silver Road as soon as you can. It's all snowballing from there.

I dont want to play as manlets

Also everyone says that Empire has great cavalry but how I even use them against greenskins.
>attack archers on the back
>kill maybe half of them
>before I can regroup them they are swarmed by 10000000000000 goblins or other fuckers
>fuck

Either learn to take Marienburg even sooner or just hunker down and wait out the beastmen
You really need Marienburg for early cash but bretonnia will try to beat you to it

Crooked moon are cunt's, It's best to hit their main army at the beginning when they usually wander into or near your territory and kill their big spider so the dwarfs can stand a chance and keep them occupied for a bit.

Just get the charge and move on. Pull them away to go disrupt another ranged unit or charge into the front line
If you're disrupting units and forcing others to chase it, you're making it easier for your front line

How can one git gud in this game? Never try Total War before. Play Chaos, faggot bird face roll me with 3 giants.
>gee, that was unexpected but next time i hire more halberd chosen
>next attempt
>faggot bird bring 4 hellcannons to fight
>still get obliterated

Rieksguard? you're better of using them as a hammer. just use your crossbowmen and focus fire on their bowmen especially their orc arrer boyz their ranged is pretty pathetic and not worth fussing over too much.

Welp
I just used auto resolve for the battle that I was not able to win and it won itself.
But its kinda shitty to look just at the campaign map but it looks like I have no fucking idea how to manage armies in the battle

This. Once your charge hits the archers move command them through the unit, once they're out either wheel them around for another charge or tell them to hit another unit. If your cavalry has a lance, don't leave them in melee, the majority of their attacking power comes from the charge.

>I can have the max army with lot of great armies
>loses against greenskins
lol

>can't fucknig win agaisn't an infantry only army
IT CANT GET ANY EASIER

you dont play chaos
wait for warhammer 3

>Playing vampire counts
>Having a really easy time and tearing down orc Waaagh!s like nothing

Are the vampire counts just the easy faction? I really like commanding the undead

Cycle charge your cavalry, don't leave them in open combat. Especially if they have lances. Charge, path through, hit them again and repeat. If it's something shitty like an archer unit you might be ok just leaving them stuck in but don't let them fight spears, and never charge a braced formation from the front if you can help it.
Form a pocket with your infantry and put your ranged units in it. Have them focus fire (everybody shoots one target) the enemy ranged units one at a time until they route, then clean up routing infantry or cavalry. Use infantry to primarily screen for the ranged units and form an anvil for cavalry charges.
Use your Lord in battle, send him to weak spots in the line. Warhammer lords aren't like the other games, they are basically super units and should be treated as such. Just don't let them die.

Organ guns are completely broken in campaign. If you want to just autoresolve and win everything, give your army 4 or more organ guns

>auto-resolving
The whole point of the game is the battles

>Warhammer lords aren't like the other games, they are basically super units and should be treated as such.
Just how it used to be

he means there are no hero units in other tws

>all those regular boyz

Just pick infantry that has armor.

You also have to be willing to sacrifice units. If you play as the Vampires/Skaven, you'll understand this real quick as they rely on units that are just meant to be meatshields and tar pits while the good stuff mops up.

Yeah, and you crush face with organ guns as well in real battles. However there are plenty of times where you just want to take a capital or city with walls and don't want to play it out yet again.

UNBEROGENS!

>you dont play chaos
It's only one race, where i don't need manage provinces tho. Also beastmen, but they have second hero and weak as shit.

I'm talking about the older titles like Rome or Medieval 2, where your general unit was also an unstoppable force of rape and destruction

>play as skaven
>shoot arty into enemy and own units
>scream expendable all the while
yes.

Just shoot them or flank them or tank them.
Orks are garbage. They have glass morale and most of their units are squishy

>play skaven
>basically win half my early fights before the enemy even get to me
dude plagueclaws lmao

Empire infantry isn't particularly killy, but will hold for a long time (those flagellants and the sigmar's sons will literally hold to the last man). Your ranged units a the unit of Reiksguard will break the enemy army. Crossbows should be positioned behind the line and fire into blobs of enemies. Handgunners need to be placed with a little more consideration. If there's elevation, fight at the base of the hill and place your guns on top so they have unimpeded firing lines. If not, leave some gaps in your line (place Karl and the Empire captain there) and let the gunners shoot through. The free company and pistollers can flank and begin firing into the enemy backs. Then the pistollers to chase routing units. Leave Franz unmounted until he unlocks deathclaw.
This looks early game, so you shouldnt be using spearmen (who are only good against large entities) and instead you should be using swordsmen as your line infantry

What the heck kind of unit composition is that? You need ranged dudes man, they kill stuff before it even gets to you and you can cherry pick targets with them, also never buy outriders or pistoleirs, you may have noticed they didn't do anything.

Let me just take 1 or 2 of every unit and i will be untouchable.

Don't take pistoleirs or outriders.

But I have 6 ranged units there? Is it too little or gunners suck? I wanted one unit of pistoilers for chasing escaping enemies

Pistoliers make decent early-game flankers and harassers, plus they're great for chasing routing units. With greenskins, you can virtually guarantee some of them are going to rally and come back eventually.

QUARRELERS!

I found with handgunners I always used them to wrap around and flank shoot targets especially armored ones. They absolute tear through them every time. Crossbowmen though are amazing. They have good range and can wittle down a lot of units easy. Get a good composition of them and set them in a line and your set.

>there are people who don't play beastmen

Everytime i try to play them i just get chased across the entire ME map by about 20 factions who never give up the chase.

Dwarfs are a ranged army. New players often find this surprising. Stand still, use artillery, focus fire with your quarrelers or guns until the target runs.

Gotta constantly have that brayherd
Beastmemes are based on momentum, don't stop slaughtering and raping

>menace from below into enemy missile/arty blob
>warp bomb

Orc armies are SHIT, and the WAAAGHS are even shittier. Use Lighting Strike and annihilate the WAAAGHS.

You start off fighting the orcs. Orc cavalry is strong, so you want plenty anti-large on your front line. Grudge-thrower artillery are also effective against them as they have poor leadership. There's a lot of opportunity to really amp up your trade routes with bonuses from tech and buildings, so try to be friends with everyone but the orcs, vampires, and norscans.

>$20 for a faction that can only raze cities
>when you can get chaos or norscan DLC for a few bucks.

Handgunners are only preferable against armored factions (dwarfs) and later game armies that have more armored units. Crossbows have longer range, higher base damage, and can arc over your line.

What's the best way to kill the spider? None of the Empire LL's has any units particularly suited to fighting it at that stage of the game, swarming it is expensive and futile, and it just shrugs off even concentrated fire.

Most of time croocked moon don't even attack you. Let them fuck around, eventually they lost most of their army. I don't think you can overthrow them early as Empire. Durthu with good army on other hand.

Is it me or is Norsca ridiculously OP? I had 200k+ in my treasury and war mammoths just wreck everything.

this guy dose it better.

Unfortunately the Empire's best monster counters, the great cannon, luminark, and halbard demigryphs, are all high-tier units. Skarsnik can usually be safely ignored though, as he usually either prioritizes either Belegar or Nuln until his crappy economy gets him into a situation the AI can't recover from.

vampire are great if you know how to use them (well, any faction is but the vampires rewards you more for it) its all about debuffing, buffing and flanking.

>play a shiter version of chaos

beastmen is all about gorilla warfare. walk around the map, harassing weaker factions by rading and looting smaller towns. if you see a big army trying to attack you, you can easily just hide away or run to another faction and raid their lands instead.

the races without province management are harder to play on an army level on purpose.
