#2 Maximize Diplomacy Each Turn in Order to ConfederateĮmpire requires the constant need to talk with fellow Empire dignitaries. By defending and then pressing, you also may get a turn to replenish casualties, thus making the subsequent attack more meaty. Once your enemy’s large banners have bounced off your settlements, press the advantage and hopefully wipe the banner off the map. By setting up strong defensive positions, they cannot raze your settlements one by one. This is especially important when Chaos comes knocking, and may have full sized banners you cannot handle. Leaning on garrisons for extra units, and letting enemy banners wander into a walled settlement can help repeal much larger numbers.
On the campaign map, similar principles apply. Make sure to keep ranged units shooting at all times. Keep cavalry back to exploit any flank or rear charges. Once you’ve softened up the enemy (and hopefully exposed some holes in their formation) then attack. With Helblasters and Helstorms, the enemy is going to try to cover open ground quickly, and try to harass your war machines with fast units. Make sure that you set your ranged units to skirmish mode, so that they automatically avoid any melee. Vampire Counts and Chaos do not have any real ranged threats, and so are forced to come into your battle lines. Getting the maximum amount of rounds down range at the enemy is imperative. When it comes time to do battle as Empire, the maxim of “defend, then attack” is prudent in both the actual battles, and on the overworld map.Įmpire have excellent ranged units and artillery. Use these tips, and hopefully you can give the long campaign objectives a run. Of course, sometimes certain factions can just make your life very difficult (especially Chaos). If you are just getting started, or perhaps having some trouble getting stable in the campaign, here are a few guidelines to follow to help make things run a little smoother. Thus, Empire can build well-rounded banners capable of specialization against any foe. Empire also has access to powerful cavalry, both the regular and shock varieties.
I’ve previously given some general advice in a previous post.Įmpire is the basic human faction in Total War: Warhammer, utilizing basic ground troops (Swordsmen, Spearmen) augmented by substantial ranged firepower (Handgunners, Crossbowmen, Artillery).
Today, I wanted to give a few general tips for those starting out as Empire in the campaign. After playing Total War: Warhammer nonstop since it came out, it’s only natural that it receives yet another post.
