When the two armies meet, order the left and right sides of your army to flank while having your army's own back line move up and take the position of the now-flanking front line troops. Cycling your units like this can make the difference in an engagement.Īnother type of micromanagement is ordering your units to surround the enemy army. This strategy is very useful because units in the back of the engagement can still fire on the enemy, but the AI of the enemy units will usually target the units in the front. This helps to ensure each unit has a much better chance of surviving, while also keeping the injured units out of the line of fire. One type of micromanagement is learning to send hurt units to the back of your forces and let more healthy units take the front line damage. Micromanagement refers to individual orders you give to units to help them fight stronger and last longer.

Successfully micromanaging your forces will both improve their efficiency in combat and their life span.Īnother hugely vital skill to learn in Halo Wars 2 is unit micromanagement.
