The funny part is in medieval times peasants would actually be taught to cut wood to properly create barricades against Knights those sharp barriers that if a knight were to try to jump over it would get impaled by the sharp wood getting killed these barriers were called tilt surprisingly deadly against Knights also because peasants were poor they didn't wear armor and had the cheapest weapons possible so they were faster than most units so if a unit of knights were to fall to a trap like this and some survived they would get swarmed and murdered by peasants horrible way to go trust me

It should be noted that peasants weren't that common of a sight in medieval battlefields. One of the major reasons why many peasants gave up their freedom in exchange for serfdom is that by law, unfree people had no obligation to do military service, whereas free ones did. And at some points in time, there were almost no free peasants left in medieval Europe, leaving the fighting to be done by knights and their retainers, and later on you start seeing increasing numbers of men-at-arms being hired as mercenaries.

One that got missed: The Tarpit. Got a valuable enemy unit that you can't deal with? Make it fight one goblin for a few minutes. Then make it fight another goblin. Small single entities are the perfect targets for this, like Vlad or Prince Sigvald, as they don't have the mass to pull through low tier infantry. Yes they will win the fight eventually, but in the meantime the big expensive lord isn't really contributing to the fight while you can focus in their army. Tarpitting is also very useful for enabling fast flankers to get their dives off unimpeded. Tie up the enemy screening units so that they're busy fighting your goblins instead of screening your Boar Boys.

Expendable units are incredibly cheap precisely so you can spam them. It's better to fill up the slots with expendables and slowly switch them out with your mainstays rather than walking around with half a stack and basically asking to get jumped. A full stack with a lot of expendables also means you can take over settlements faster to get the economy up or rebuild ruins cheaper.

Great video. Too many videos pretend this game is all about honorable duels & 1-v-1 fights and then base a unit's value on that. That's not how war works. Skaven's entire gimmick is focused around expendable skavenslaves/clan rats to make their otherwise bad individual units be able to setup or get into position to actually do their jobs. People who say trolls are bad don't use them alongside goblins. Just like how Kroxigars are a skink's best friend, the same goes for trolls & expendable goblins.

Yes, just having more units than the enemy can help you do all sorts of stuff, and meatshields can be used to soak up ammo and charges without needing to worry about loosing them. Many factions also have a lot of skills and research that buff base tier units making them VERY cost effective in single player, having 1 trash army guarding the other side of where your main army is early game or to overwhelm the enemy at the front with has a big impact. I always have armies mostly of mega buffed lower tier units in my campaigns (depending a bit on the faction).

Hellman Ghorst and his secondary armies with nothing but a Zombie doomstack is completly unfair even in the early game because Ghorst buffs the heck out of Zombies to the point where they have the stats of Tier III units.

All while your entire army cost something in a 3 digit upkeep and is completly replacable within one turn plus a massive recovery rate on damaged units.

Another thing that I'm not sure you mentioned in the video is that units that actually have the "Expendable" trait don't inflict a morale penalty to other units when they take heavy casualties or rout, so there's no risk of having your good units break early when suffering morale shocks or your expendable infantry causing a mass rout if you just toss them into the meat grinder (unless you hit the army loss penalty, then you still will, but not for the same reason).

@euricoaw1535 well then I wouldn't say it has changed appreciably. It is better at dodging artillery and spells than WH2, has "better" target priority so it's harder to waste it's ammo, does use a main battle line and flanking units, but otherwise hasn't changed all that much. WH3 is for playing with/against more factions and reworks like Warriors of Chaos, Empire or Dwarves which improved a lot. It's not fundamentally different from 2. Recent chatter is that there is little improvement to AI because the guiding thought within CA is that players have fun when they "outsmart" the AI and they don't want "fair" matches. Hence it gets cheats to upkeep, recruitment and replenishment to cover up the huge losses suffered at the hands of the player, just so it can lose more, as that's what the players enjoy. I'd love to see a competent AI without cheats, but apparently that's not coming. 🤷♂️

Depends. In a field battle, the AI handles melee armies reasonably well. They'll usually make a super wide line, and make sure their infantry charge reaches your frontline at the same time as their cavalry charge attacks your backline. They tend to ignore single unit entities you migh try to tie them up with, and instead charge you. Often abusing units with high mass and collission to pull straight through halberds and spears to attack the ranged units behind them. Granted, it still struggles to use ranged armies properly, and really struggle with sieges. You can also confuse them with enough effort, though it'll take more work than it did in game 1 and 2.
