Learn the mechanics of factions

Players can join countless factions in Total War: Warhammer 3 and each faction has different activities. Any player can find a style of play to his or her liking, as long as he finds out which faction works best. Each faction in the game will be played in a different way, so customization is key.

There are many characters for gamers to choose from while playing, and it is beneficial to learn how each character type works during the game. For example, the Khorne faction is suitable for close combat. Meanwhile, there are factions that will fail in melee combat but do better with the use of magic.

This seems obvious but many players don't realize that, if they concentrate all their units in one area, it's very easy for enemies to kill them all at once.

While it might be easier to rush all units into an area and cut through the enemy's path, it also makes the unit a lot easier to kill. Better yet, the player should spread out, dividing his army into a long line, to cover all enemy units and ensure that as many units survive as possible.
