- I see youtubers selecting a locked control group and attacking one unit, but the group attacks the closest unit to them. Its a great way to reduce micromanaging and especially when battles get crazy. I have tried both locked and unlocked groups, holding alt and ctrl and still the group will only attack a single unit, not the closest enemy.what am i missing here?
- In other words, the units have to be in a locked group before issuing an attack order. This way, the units will select their own targets. A related issue is the use of alt-left click drag to move your entire army 'in formation'; doing this will make your units move to the same formation, but will do so at variable speeds, so faster units will arrive to battle first (and possibly get shot to.
- In warhammer, once you create your group -select several units and press either 'g' either 'control+1', 2.' - there's a small icon next to the number of the group which looks like a lock. It locks your group, so they'll keep the formation all the time, just make sure they are in the right formation before locking them.
There are 5 settlements you must attack and conquer from those two factions: Barak Varr, Karak Dron, Mount Squighorn, The Pillars of Grugni and the capital city of Dwarves, Karak-a-Karaz. Normally, conquering some of them would be difficult, but with two, 20-unit armies with Waaagh! Following them the task will be trivial. Below, we’ve listed the classic controls used in Total War: WARHAMMER II. You may create your own custom key bindings for everything, if you wish. In the front end menu or the in-game menu go to ‘options’ and ‘controls’ to set these up. Group – Toggle Group – G. Toggle locked group – Ctrl + G. Toggle Melee Mode – F.

Advanced controls
There are a variety of more advanced methods for issuing instructions to selected units once basic manoeuvring is learned. Use the cursor keys to nudge selected units into position, for example.
- Hold shift when right-clicking to enqueue a waypoint, or hold shift and drag a path for units with the right mouse button.
- Hold ctrl when right-clicking and dragging out a formation to walk units into their specified positions. This is useful when concealing units in forested terrain.
- Hold alt, and left-click and drag on a selection on the battlefield to move units in formation.
- Units in Guard mode won’t pursue a fleeing enemy. Guard mode can be activated by clicking the Guard button.
