Lords and Heroes - Campaign Army Building(Total War: Warhammer 3)
Hey everyone! It's me HawkeyeG and this time I've got a follow-up video to my basic tips for building Campaign armies in Total War: Warhammer. In this particular video I focus on Lords and Heroes - what they are and how they work, how to categorize them, and how to decide which ones to select, pair together, and how many to use!
I've gone pretty in-depth in this video about how Lords and Heroes work and have tried to simplify certain concepts about them in order to categorize them effectively. While this kind of categorization isn't perfect - as there's a wide variety of characters in this game - I still think it's useful for helping people make easier decisions about which Lord or Hero types to select, how they work, and how to think about implementing them into an army at large.
If there's too much information for you here, or you already know some basics about Lords and Heroes, I do plan to create a shorter version of this where I don't go as in-depth on explaining what Lords and Heroes are and how they work for people who are already familiar with those concepts. Instead I'll focus just on why you'd use them and how to put them into a composition. But I still believe this video will help people who are overwhelmed with all the variety and information they have to digest in order to even start thinking about these things!
If you have any army building tips of your own please leave them in the comments section below. Or if you have any further questions feel free to ask those as well. Thanks for watching and have a great day!
