>tfw lizzardmen now have the smallest monstrous units

>SKAVEN?!?!

WTF CA ALL THE CLUES POINTED TO CHINA!
FUCK FANTASY

Probably the worst trailer yet desu.

QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

Last word of the ritual is...?

For the southern realms!

>One completely new feature for Total war is how Skaven settle. Their settlements are beneath the ground and allow them to develop huge cities away from the view of any opposition. Known as the Under-Empire, it allows for a huge element of surprise as all Skaven settlements are seen as ruins until an enemy attempts to settle or explore the area.

>This stealth development also means that the Skaven can build up huge armies in secret. These armies, being hidden from view, can be used to surprise and overwhelm enemies quickly. Skaven tactics at their finest.

fuck off it was the BEST

>ywn have kids with Morathi

That trailer was surprisingly amazing.

Under Empire and hidden settlements confirmed

CHECK EM

Tailed.

Reminder to also watch the Ritual Video, it's full of like, actual dialogue and shit

This isn't a racefanboy thing. It had no interesting filmography going on. Bretonnia, DElf, VC, even Greenskins had interesting cuts, dialogue, tension, etc.

WHAT DO THE MAN THINGS AT CA MEAN BY THIS THIS NEW STUFF STUFF ?

youtube.com/watch?v=k8EQ1KNkpmw

Fuck off, we saw so many dope units and it sounds like they got the voice actor from Vermintide (thank fuck)

>Under Empire Confirmed
Praise-praise be!

>skaven corruption
The absolute madmen.

>CA finally named the Jew

>Rats don't exist xDDD is finally dead

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING, AN ERA IS ENDED, WITNESS THE RISE OF A NEW WORLD

TOO MANY CHARLEMAGNE IN ONE VIDEO

SNEAK-SNEAK, THEN KILL-KILL THE MAN-THINGS

>le two armies randomly clashing makes for a good trailer
mcneck urself underage--you get to see full unit rosters in a few days with in-game gameplay by Darren anyways

>all Skaven settlements are seen as ruins until an enemy attempts to settle or explore the area.

AND THESE FAGS THOUGHT WE WOULD NEVER DO AN UNDER-EMPIRE MECHANIC

>no Jezzails

>Every 45 seconds you can throw out both of these for free

This is amazing.

Amazing.

>my everything hurts
>the wheel is too heavy
>I wish I was at home bullying slaves

Shit tier mechanic

>The text adventure with the Dark Elf/High Elf scout exploring a Lizardman ruin and discovering a skaven lair was actually foreshadowing the Skaven settling mechanic.

That's pretty clever actually.

It's a pretty half-assed one though, it's not the entire map

t-theyll be confirmed friday, right?

they wont be D-DLC, r-right?

not gonna lie thats not how I thought they'd go with the Skaven trailer but it's my favorite trailer by far now.

totalwar.com/searchtheskies/

Comet confirmed
>It heralds the great maw and the ogre kingdoms

It was kinda neat, I was hoping for empire and voiceovers though, would have been more fun.

>shit-tier
>literally everyone has been begging for CA to do it

That's OUR BOY, the twin-tailed comet of SOTEK/SIGMAR

is it real

So Skaven are broken?

How are you supposed to defend if you cannot see their armies?

nobody was asking for hidden settles, we were asking for a fucking second map

>implying :^)

"This is a public service announcement: due to technical difficulty, a video that would cause civil unrest to the empire have been uploaded to the total war youtube channel, please do not view this video, and if you know any friend or relative who have viewed the video, please report to your nearest witch hunter immediately, long live the emperor! "

Sounds OP as all hell and makes it somewhat impossible to deal with them as a player, wonder how that is really going to be implemented.

...

...

fucking YES. it will be scary as fuck settling ruins now

No faction is ever going to get a separate map to play on. That the under-empire is represented at all is a major plus.

>waifufag puts an elf image over skaven
pathetic

>What makes the Skaven interesting is that they are a true horde army

What are "both of these"

Build walls and clear out any ruins on your border

You can see their armies, you just won't know whether a ruin in the fog of war is an actual ruin or a redditrat settlement.

>faction
That's why Dwarves and Orcs would be able to do it too, dummy.

>Skaven Campaign Intro Movie
>Queek sounds Jamaican

>Following the trend of stealth tactics and use of the underground is an in-battle ability called The Menace Below. This ability summons a unit of Clanrats anywhere on the battlefield, allowing you to raise them behind enemy lines

I think summoning units out of thin air is the theme of WH2

>look at the ground
>see what looks like the black pyramid

hmm

Pretend they don't exist like the Empire does

...

Holy shit-shit.

You and fucking Arch Warhammer maybe.

Making a separate map just for the Skaven ranks up there with the stupidest ideas I've heard for this series

LARGE RODENTS?????


DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE


THOSE ARE NOT R E A L EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


REALLY CA WHAT A GREAT JOB WITH YOUR SHITTY FUCKING MEMES, GO FUCK YOURSELF GRACE

End Times nigh.

holy fucking shit didn't know that those croc looking lizard men were so huge

Where's the campaign into video?

>Assasinates your favorite general

Are you ok user?

>Making a separate map just for the Skaven ranks up there with the stupidest ideas I've heard for this series
Not him but Age of Wonders did it for gobbos and Dorfs

...

queek budtoker

ye, im glad too CA will stop with this idiotic meme.

Why do CA hate the Empire and the High Elves?

On that ritual page.

I think my game is broken, what is up with these odds.

It still takes resources and time away from more important things, like the actual campaign map. Any separate map is only going to get left over work from the team after they are done with the main content which would make it half-assed. A mechanic like the one announced is a better use of their time and can be more properly fleshed out.

>no unique vaporization death animations

The Skaven rites summon unique hero-type units once completed. A summoned DOOOOM Engineer is effectively a suicide bomber, causing a devastating earthquake at a city. This heavily damages buildings and reduces the city’s settlement level. The Pestilent Scheme Priest spreads a plague in enemy territory. In the affected regions, the plague causes attrition and other negative effects but can be caught and spread by armies on the move.

No you stupid piece of shit, he's talking about a real underground map like heroes 3 did 18 fucking years ago. All races should be able to enter, while only Skaven, Greenskins and Dwarfs avoid attrition. Replaces underway stance entirely. Karaks etc could have presence on both maps.

Maybe not, considering that settlements razed by norsca, beastmen and warriors of chaos all have a different building on the map. Nobody that would leave generic ruins really does much razing other than savage orcs.

>Skaven are sneaky, yes-yes! Few things exemplify this more than their unique stance, Stalk. Stalk gives your rat-based armies a high chance to ambush enemies while moving towards them
Beastmen clones

>important things
>having an interesting campaign mechanic that stretches the world isn't important
the FUCK

>20 x war mammoth army about to be replaced by 20 x hell pit abomination army

feels good man

The whole point of the empire is being the MUH BALLS OF STEEL AVERAGE JOE SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES fighting against monsters of all kind, it's only fair that they act the part.

>skaven corruption
>no under empire map, just a summon units rats like the raptors
Bravo CA atleast we got the hellpit

This is exactly why Grace is /ourgirl/. No one else would be able to cause this much salt.

>This heavily damages buildings and reduces the city’s settlement level.

Confirmed useless as absolute fuck.

That was some intense cranking by gunner support in a trailer.
