Tips and tricks

Thanks to their ranged attack, axe throwers are a powerful micro-management asset :

• Use to harass/attack at a distance (called "kiting") to slow enemy units such as Draugrs (only non-range ones), Rock Golems, and Jötunn. To do so, while engaged with enemy, you need to click away and then press "stop action" keybind (default X). When the enemy unit is within range again, the axe thrower will instantly attack, and you can click away again, keeping your axe throwers out of reach of the non-range enemies' attacks.
• By making control groups (ctrl + number) out of multiples throwers, you can harass your opponent army if he is not attentive.
