When Chaos arrives, if you’re Order-aligned, lots of people will want alliances with you. When in doubt, attack, but when outmatched, retreat and ambush.Īmbushing is useful even for armies that won’t benefit on the battle map, as it also give you bonuses to Auto-Resolve.Īmbush Defence Chance is rarely useful, unless you’re fighting someone with the Stalking stance (Skaven, Beastmen, Nagarythe), in which case it’s vital.įurthermore, against enemies that will ambush you, bring armies that don’t mind being ambushed, with more melee infantry and cavalry, and less artillery or missle infantry. Trade is nice, but unless you’re High Elves, it’s more for diplomacy than the money. Your first army (and LL) should be experienced enough to do without them. When you recruit your second army, take the heroes from your first army, and put them in the second. So either move forwards and annihilate, or replenish and be prepared to fight full stacks.

On the higher campaign difficulties, the AI can replace lost armies terrifyingly quickly. Therefore, it’s better to be at war with one large faction as opposed to two small ones.
