The AI always has perfect knowledge of your units. It just pretends not to see hidden ones. The bug is when it forgets to pretend and it often happens when most/all of your army is hidden, since it conflicts with the AI's programming to search for your army.
This is why I never build ambush units or bother with hidden flankers. I fight napoleon style with gun and artillery lines, or hybrid fronts that shred enough enemies before the merge to survive the melee clash.
@@Optimusprime240agree, and same. Tried a ranger army with a thane that gives them snipe and one artillery piece with the rune that gives snipe & stalk. Fought 2 battles, in both the ai instantly always went to me. Never again. Napoleon style armies are more fun anyways.
Man, this is something that I lose fucking sleep over. This is one of the reasons why playing on very hard battle difficulty is stupid. Even for accurate artillery (accurate being essentially a negative on VH) that behaviour is turned of when AI units are in melee, so just send out a hero to blob them up and fire as you usually would. These behaviours don't make the AI more challenging, it just means you have to cheese the game more. I personally only play on hard battle difficulty since, as far as I can tell, the extremely reactive artillery doding is the only thing that changes from H to VH.
The insanely dumb AI of WH3 is always either the bane, or boon, of every campaign I play. Either broken in my favor letting me win fights I had no business even getting close to. Or alternatively completely negating every advantage I carefully crafted to entirely demolish what should have been my unbeatable high tier army. Its the most frustrating and most hilarious part of the game.
Fr, I’ve played ones I feel like master tactician and then 2 fights later I get obliterated due to my own stupidity and the AI who suddenly decided to think. I had beef with the specific general for awhile lol
I don’t think I’ve ever been able to hold on to The Moot for any notable period of time when occupied, no matter who I play as; I felt your pain as you lost your Garden of Moor there Resource building aside, it’s kinda a POS chunk of land-only really useful as a trophy territory for Beastmen (part of Bloodgrounds) or as a trade chip for diplomacy (the couple of times I’ve had vassals in the vicinity, they seem oddly attached to the place)
used to be a trick back in WH2 where you'd tank up some priests of sigmar and dump them in the middle of the map so the ai gets tricked into blobbing around them, and because you brought gelt and tricked out the missile artillery promptly blew them all up with little to no damage taken on the priests
I never actually completed it the fair way. I just used infinite money to buy everything and get to the latest era as soon as possible and then watched as poor enemy tried to to fight my units
That "hidden" rant had me in literal tears of laughter and rage. The ONLY time i'll use stealth based armies is against other humans, against the AI, just massively obnoxious firepower. They don't follow the rules, why should I?
You can easily use stealth based armies against the AI. You just have to accept that AI micro is far more attentive than human micro and therefore you have to pay more attention to enemy scouting. Also not positioning the stealthed mortars right where the enemy is gonna send their flanking units helps a lot.
@@tsunamie1015 lol good point. I've just always been a fan of either the dwarf geometry or the mass cavalry of whoever does it well. I can either artillery the hell out of them or be full Mongolia, but I fail at combined arms tactics. I know my lane, and I'm too old to learn new tricks 😂
mortars actually are decent for their cost but their greatest value are 2 things: 1. their high ballistic trajectory makes them MUCH better in maps where lots of terrain features are involved (forest, buildings, structures, sieges) they are so good in fact in sieges that they basically trivialize many forts where most artillery struggles because they can't get good line of sight against things behind walls or even ON walls, mortars on the other hand don't care... 2. that high ballistic trajectory also makes them much safer to use when your army have engaged the opposing army, unlike many artillery which tend to cause excessive collateral to your own troops especially if your units involve cavalry and other large units that tend to block the line of sight path between the artillery and the enemy unit, and since mortars damage is mostly on the explosive blast... they are also relatively 'safer' to use as last resort for firing into the melee brawl between your troops and the enemy if your unit that engaged is low unit count monstrous/elite unit type or lords/heroes.
Ah yes, the very well known strategy of "To whom it may concern". Commander: Soldier, where did the ennemy go ? Soldier: In that direction sir. Commander: Very well, obliterate that direction.
Mortars normally: I'm a smol bean artillery piece, hit a target more than once every four shots no sir what's that Elspeth's Mortars: I have become death, destroyer of skeletons
Goblin hewers work well for this, since each hewer is also half a Slayer unit, so they can rapidly fire their limited ammo & then unmount and use their axe. Unlike most normal arty, they also delete single entities.
Hewers also have a SMALL slayer crew, slayers already die off really quickly, yes, deleting that cockatrice was nice and all and unmounting to charge the single entity is a good idea, but Aekold Helbrass doesn't care and will kill your whole unit in 20 seconds with 0 damage taken.

Total War has gotten more and more frustrating to play. At this point I don't play any siege battles and save scum anytime the Campaign map AI tries to screw me over with movement nonsense. The AI seems to have infinite movement range, my guys can't even get across my own settled territory
I've been struggling through my own Elspeth campaign (without the self-imposed extra challenge) so this was very refreshing and fun to watch. Great editing and narration. Keep up the good work!
Just fyi for those that dont know, artillery can be much more accurate if you manually target the ground. When you have artillery selected you hold Alt down and target/right click somewhere. Also stops artillery doing that thing where it targets the edge of a unit sometimes, but using this method against a moving unit can be tricky to get the timing correct
21:00 reminds me of the Noctilus 1 man army vid over on Kleeper's channel. I guess the game applies a penalty to "artillery units" of some kind. So even an army of 20 necrofex collossi, the lategame unit of the vampire coast, because they're a '"aRtiLLeRy'" unit, they often face a "valiant defeat" autoresolve. Also Garrisons get a huge buff to their autoresolve.

You get 1 schematics for every 20 gold value in damage done by gunnery units (the ones the school buffs) + 1 schematics for every captured unit of a faction that uses guns (Empire, Kislev, Skaven, Dwarves, Cathay, Ogres)
just wanted to say, thank you sooooo much for including the music playlist in the description. I haven't heard the toxic avenger "make this right" in so long i had forgotten its name.
I feel like Malakai and the dwarves could be a better pick for this challenge. Dwarven artillery is quite good, but the new slayer artillery actually has decent melee stats, and could act as an unbreakable front line
Completely agree - I only ran this with Elspeth due to how recently I did Dwarf gun only alongside the snipe buff for the mortars... which was completely useless.
The problem with goblin hewers is slayers are weak to artillery so your friendly fire will instantly delete the whole unit, this doesnt sound so bad until you realize Hewers have a crew of only a few dozen slayers.
One problem you didn't really touch upon/think about with so many mortars, is the fact that entities become invincible when they're knocked down, so shooting one unit with more than 4 or so mortars wont do anything, because everyone will simply be already dead, or wont take any damage because they are invincible on the ground
I have the biggest obsession with artillery in this game, and this video makes me realize that I really don't want to complete my dream of having an only artillery army for my own sake. Thank you for saving my sanity by sacrificing yours.
10:06 you can see that it has stopped which means that the ai is trying to make a formation to attack you in and it just happened to be close enough to see your stalk units when it moved to attack
Duuuuuude, having the AI whip out their mystical all seeing eyes of god and absolutely b-lining for hidden units brings a tear to my eye every damn time. Pain.
I agree, there were some major advantages to the slower pacing. So much has to be cut out to fit a whole campaign into one relatively short video. I'm currently in the middle of trying to figure out the ideal formats for my main and second channel. Having an editor fully handle multi part series in my older style on my second channel is a really tempting possibility.
8:00 - You can put mortars MUCH closer to the walls and spread will be MUCH lower 10:00 - Enemy did not "forget" about invisible units, they flank their enemy that they CAN see, those being your Hero and Lord. If they saw Mortars there they would have charged in that exact clip and didnt afk 12:20 - There has been a lot of cheese through out this game existence, like people hide their army and run around with Lord/Hero. Pretty sure at some point it has been addressed so if enemy see less then certain % of your army they will send units around the map, just as if they didnt see any units at all.
You do realize the cannon balls arcing through the sky kind of give away the general location of the mortars. Its not cheese that the giant is looking directly at the volley of 80 projectiles arcing towards him lol.
12:14 To be fair, if you got attacked by a huge mortar army and only see like, two guy, you’re going to scout for those units. The only problem is the AI already know where to look for. At least, this is what I understand of the problem here.
Fire Emblem music is always a good shout. Also, love the insane bombardment and would think it would be acceptable to use the units blocking the higher level artillery at least until the point you unlocked all the artillery as long as they don't make a meaningful advance or change to the map. Like, using them to reinforce an ally instead of attacking for yourself
