Their main ranged unit, the Quarrelers, are interesting because unlike other ranged units they are shielded and are a decent infantry unit in a pinch. They can still use infantry to flank but they are slow and you can't chase anything. So the Dwarfs don't have cavalry units but to make up for this their expensive units are a lot tougher. Now the thing with Total War Warhammer is that a lot of these rules get shaken up quite a bit. By holding down the right mouse button can you drag the formation to adjust the shape of the unit to decide if you want to cover more ground but be more susceptible to cavalry attacks. Individual soldiers do really matter that much, you can almost think of them as a status indicator for the unit's health. Having a lord or a hero nearby gives a leadership bonus which reduces the speed that morale declines, losing a lord can have a huge effect on morale. Often in Total War your not trying to outright slaughter every unit your trying to lower their morale bar until they run. Surrounding them with other infantry units can also help because getting flanked decreases their morale faster. Often a good strategy is to pin an infantry unit down with another infantry unity and then hit them from the side with heavy cavalry. Spearmen are a hard counter to cavalry units, as are cavalry units to ranged but ranged units often only soften up infantry units to allow other infantry units to gain an advantage.įlanking matters a lot which is mostly what cavalry are for since they are way faster. The core rock-paper-scissors counter system of Total War has always been that Ranged Units beat Infantry units (as long as they keep their distance), Cavalry Units beat Ranged units, Spearmen beat Cavalry Units and Infantry Units beat Spearmen. I am by no means a Total War expert but I've been dabbling in the series long enough to think I have some answers to some of your questions.
