    Default How To: "tips for picking your units quickly"

    I was wondering if one or both of you guys can make a (how to video).
    The “how to” is in regards to buying armies and how to save them so that they can be brought up quickly for online play and any other shortcuts you can think of to speed up the purchasing process.

    I am still finding people taking a longer time, than necessary to purchase armies (order of battles).

    We all appreciate the commentaries on the tactical aspect of the game but there are some people who need help in other basic areas as well.

    You both contribute greatly to the hobby and I would understand if this is not doable and all those who watch them appreciate the time spent to make them I am sure.

    I could do this, as I know most tricks for buying and saving armies. However, I don't usually choose the most perfect armies to fit the time, therein lies most of my downfall . However, if it's just a "how to" and not a "what to", then I'll do it. I'll give it a go, and you can tell me what you think.

    Presetttt armies, huge tip.


    Honestly though if you asked only two people to show you tips on picking armies online, your only have a small diversity of armies.

    A smart way to do that would be to save armies and to load them. Also you would have to look at the enemies faction and his unit number to get a vague idea of what he will be using and modify your army accordingly, though I never do that, I just pick Historical correct armies.

    The original intent of this thread is to get someone who knows what they are doing in online you-tube videos to put together a teaching tool to show new players how to save preset armies to speed up online play.

    The intent was never to show them what to buy but rather to buy it fast.
