Who are Mandreiks? I didn't even look at the unit names.)))
Are they those cute little crocodiles? ^__^))?
No, you're wrong, Kenny, micro is definitely present in Warhammer, and it's quite significant. For example, turning on/off the Eldar's fast movement ability can be crucial, or blocking enemy ranged units while simultaneously repositioning your own units, etc. It's like the Tau dance – running Fire Warriors away from Raptors under the protection of a shielded unit.
Well, compared to Warcraft, it's not as much micro.))) Although the units have more abilities, what matters more isn't how quickly you can use them, but when. Although controlling them can be quite difficult (compared to other races), and players with good micro skills should choose them.
However, things are better here with macro (although it's not exactly macro). You have to control several units to capture points, manage a lot of slaves (for the same reason), keep up with development (which happens very quickly), and also manage 2 or even 3 groups (not units) at the same time. I really liked their squires, as I already mentioned. They can be used effectively to disrupt the enemy's economy, but again, timing is key. Before that, I would retreat (lure) with one group. When the main forces are drawn out, you can attack with 2 groups of squires with upgraded cannons (against buildings) on the enemy base. They destroy buildings in five seconds. Then something happens: the enemy destroys our small bait unit and separates several mobile units to repel the attack. Then there are 2 options: in the best case, our main unit, which didn't participate in the battle before, can either attack the base or attack the separated unit, and then the main forces. In both cases, you will inflict serious damage on the enemy.

Damn, I explained it a bit clumsily, but whatever))) I remember using a similar tactic with the Tau, but it was a little different. The main thing is to have mobile, heavy units and the right timing. I usually used this when the enemy has a formed army (preferably without mobile units) and is already going for a major upgrade, meaning they have few resources. And, of course, you need to retreat effectively (if we just run back to our base, it won't save us; it's better to engage in a battle somewhere far from the enemy base, and most importantly, the unit must hold out for the required amount of time). The slightest mistake, and we'll lose half our army, the retreating unit, and the unit in the rear.

Yes, we'll definitely play, but on Soul (by the way, when is the release?).
Yes, do you know any good forums about Warhammer or just RTS games? I used to hang out on warhammer40k.ru, mainly to find people to play with.
