IF OUR DAIMYO IS TO BECOME SHOGUN

MILITARY RULER OF ALL JAPAN

If our Warboss Grimgor is to become the best
Military leader of all the orcs and elves

Xth for Chaos Stream

IF OUR LORD IS T'BECOME KING Joey is a smoker. I'm done. It's all over lads.

user why is this relevant

Total war is a ded game for the next week. Anything is relevant

>latest reviewer already mentions wanting to get back into warhammer fantasy gaming

Is GW going to acknowledge their blunder and reinstate the old armies for the TW hype?

IF OUR PRINCE IS TO BECOME TOMB KANG

*Rattles*

SPOOKY LEADER OF NEHEKHARA

9 days

;_;

>Blackhand with axe.

First for Tzeentch

Anime!

Need to upgrade my graphics card in time for Warhammer. I have a radeon 6950 and it plays Rome 2 at about medium. Will an r9 380 play the game at an acceptable level of detail?

...

Maybe as part of their specialist division, but unlikely.

I can only hope. Tww has made me want to go back and flesh out some of my half completed table top armies but now that Age of fagmar is around I can't find any miniatures for sale at a normal price.

>tfw no 1500pt beastmen herd

should be fine user, the processor is what counts for these games though

Any must-have submods for DeI? Heard faster battle speed is highly suggested, is there anything else?

Free faction:
Bretonnia which would add Leoncoeur and Fay Enchantress as Legendary Lords/Ladies with voices,quests,items,mounts,techs,mechanics and a full Bretonnian roster.

Free Legendary Lords:
Wurrzag
Krell

Free Unit:
Blood Knights

Fuck if I know the lores and heroes could be anything. We're getting about $30 worth of free DLC so can't really complain.

It SHOULD be fine, I'm pretty sure we've seen it run decent on cards about that price level.

If you have just a bit more dosh I would probably go ahead and snag a 970, it's probably the most price efficient card on the market right now

What's gonna be the paid dlc faction? Hopefully beastmen hordes

>Krell

Please no.

KRELL SHOULD BE A QUEST UNLOCK FOR KEMMLER GOD DAMN IT

>Fuck if I know the lores and heroes could be anything

Given that were are missing 3 of the 8 "basic" Lores I would say that chances are pretty extraordinarily high that those are what we'll get, as they can see use across multiple races.

The lores could be anything, though I would guess that they aren't gonna be Vamp ones.

Considering getting it from GMG. Is it safe? don't need on release day as i'm still in the process of buying a new PC.

IF OUR POSTER IS TO BECOME GOOK

SHIT POSTER RULER OF ALL /TWG/

Wood elves. Elves are a lot more marketable than beastmen.

GMG are a legitimate retailer, I've never heard of anyone not getting their key from them.

Just buy it from steam. Support the developers.

Only bought the dying light season pass from them and it worked fine

WHEN

Not worried about my CPU even though it's a little old, I can OC a lot more juice out of it
>tfw i7-2600k really was future proof for me

Interesting idea, if I can get away with what I have now, I'm sure the market will be flooded with 970s in a month or so...

yeah user I've bought off them, just make sure GLOBAL KEYS.
alternatively use g2a or instant-gaming as they have warhammers for 30 of my dollars less than steam price

It'd be nice if we could get some more themed units for chaos. We have a LL that is clearly marked for one god, why not run with it?

I would 100% count on Wood Elves being the first paid DLC, Knife-ears bring in a lot of dosh.

There's gonna be more than one paid DLC race though, so don't worry.

Wood Elves in a Campaign Pack with a announcement around August/September and release in December. A faction takes around 6 months to development and we know the DLC team has been hard at work for months now on post launch content whilst the main fantasy team have moved over to the first expansion development(Which will involve Skaven and Ogres) with a skeleton crew polishing the base game.

Just my predictions for first paid campaign pack. It might even add AI controlled beastmen hordes with a limited roster for use later in the trilogy as playable.

CA should fast-track all the human factions using old assets.

We can finally have Samurai fighting not-samurai.

>the first expansion development(Which will involve Skaven and Ogres)

SORUCE

GW will probably prevent them.

My dad works for CA.

Makes me cringe seeing this. So bad.

>Wood Elves
Agreed and from a map standpoint as natural rivals. Makes perfect sense. Pic related(missing Chaos Warriors and they start just inside the Chaos Wastes on the border with Goromandy mountains).

With Wood Elves that would make a 3 way battle between Bretonnia, the vampires of Mousillon and Wood Elves in the west side of the old world not to mention Greenskins tribes and the like with their raiding and strongholds in the mountains. If they have a forest regrowth mechanic it would allow Wood Elves to advance into other lands but technically remaining part of Athel Loren due to regrowing the world roots.

February preview of Warhammer in PC Gamer(printed) the last 2 paragraphs spoke of how Ogre Kingdoms and Skaven just keep on giving and their aim was to have them in the base game but now they are in the future installments due to budget constraints with base game.

Is Warhammer going to have sea battles and navies?

Navy yes, sea battles no

>budget constraints with base game.

That doesn't sound good. I thought Attila sold well enough despite the salty steam reviews.

That's some bullshit.

Navies yes, but battles are auto-resolve only.

I'd expect sea battles to be added once the expansion that adds High Elves hits.

Err really?

What is the rationale behind these HRE borders?

Well, yeah.

That's when the sea actually becomes relevant.

I sure hope Lombardy will have mass crossbowmen armies

God Damnit I really hope they don't turn this into another Rome II...

I want to buy it early and start playing it damnit.

>TW Sea-battles
>Relevant
No seriously pick one

Had whole S2 campaigns without a single ship. I have never seen a MP sea battle. Either cardboard boxes ramming into each other or its an artillery fight at sea.

Bros, should i go for a 980ti or 1080? The 1080 will be cheaper on release but I've been advised to wait. Thing is with the current setup my i won't run it good.

Sea battles were shit in old RTS game and they're shit in Total War.

Sea battles are irrelevant because every Total War except Empire has taken place on what is basically a single land mass.

With the new cards coming so soon I'd be a little bit wary of buying anything at the moment. If you wait a bit the 980ti will also get a price drop.

...

Sea battles in TW are really bizarre.
Its like no matter the tactics you choose, they all turn into clusterfucks where one sits there hoping the battle goes to your favor.

I don't think that matters. If navy fights were fun you would have players actively participating in them in both campaign and MP. I've played a lot and watched a lot of campaigns on the tuber I don't see it.

Im pretty sure most of us feel that way.
The fact that they made chaos free if you buy the game week one rather than just preorder suggests that they are confident though.

>They told us in several streams
Do you know in which one and at what time?

It's in this Rally Point: youtube.com/watch?v=OZHeF9XN-BM

At around 4:00

How have you not heard this by now, this video was published more than half a year ago.

Fucking look it up yourself, I'm not gonna sift through a bunch of shit that I already watched just to indulge you.

They need to add one or more elements into naval battles, the wind system isnt enough

Maybe they could add a tidal waves mechanic where you could change the tide of battle

It's impossible to recreate naval battles in the style of total war.

i'd see woodelves being added as the AI faction. they can mostly reuse resources from the probably ongoing elf expansion and then just polish it off for a playable release.

beastmen are going to require totally unique modeling and skeletons as well as a dedicated horde mechanic. i doubt we will see them until we buy them

attila was expected to sell badly.

I mean Warhammer has the space for interesting naval combat, but there's still a lot to get around for naval stuff to be meaningful and worth participating in.

From what I can tell in the streams, moving by water doesn't even grant a speed boost.

no point blowing money you are guaranteed to recoup. CA is in fine financial shape. they're just playing it slow on the jump to a new IP

What do you guys think they are going to add or modify on the bretonian unit roster?

How did they run out of money for Warhammer then I wonder.

It looks like no accident that the first release is feeling a bit underwhelming now that its apparent 2 whole factions got delayed.

You would want to go really strong on the opener imo.

CA is a great rotting structure and we only need kick it by the door and the whole despicable establishment falls on its foundations. I have preordered TWWH but will refund it on the first day. My friends, I reccomend all of you to do the same. If we could get sizable number of people on board we'll finally lay this accursed company to rest. From its ashes a new, even greater Total War esque series will arise, with multiple competitors to force innovation. Only then can we have a Golden age of Total War.

Naval battles are pretty much the heart of what Dark Elves and High Elves are up to, though.

If they designed Dark Elves right they could be a faction with interesting mechanics for mobile settlement Black Arks and raiding coasts.


I am a bit skeptical though about naval combat for everyone, because people like Wood Elves, Ogres or Beastmen can't really have ships without it being dumb.

You do realize they get a set budget from their publisher, and that the publisher determines budgets in terms of how much content is optimal for profit max. So their going to give them the budget to do just enough, because going over on content is loosing profits.

I don't really mind if they decide to add it in, but Naval Combat is slow, boring and lacks any kind of tactical depth to it, so I'd rather they focus their efforts on what they're good at.

I always thought in attila at least naval siege assaults were pretty well done, the landing was/is a clusterfuck but doing a land AND sea assault on port fuck you is pretty fun

Presumably the dev team had a limited budget because it"s a risky new IP

I think I heard it in some developer QA that they did on twitch, but I'm really not sure since it's been a while

Trust me on this one though, I'm certain they said that the savage orc leading person would be an upcoming free legendary lord

More melee units for sure, more peasants

Maybe. But every dollar and man-hour spent on naval combat are resources not being spent on new armies, new characters, new features, etc. There are many other things to develop which will have a greater contribution to gameplay.

>How did they run out of money for Warhammer then I wonder.

Is this bait? Are people that retarded?

>this fucking meme again

Why the fuck are they even working on DLC pre release?

i'm gonna skim through their recent twitch vods to see if I can find it. but for now i'll take your word on it.

STUFF

Because the people making DLC are a separate team?

Would magic and customizable ships be enough? I think Brets and High Elves are the only factions that solely rely on wind power. Nearly everyone else has secondary slower but more reliable forms of propulsion

Different team for DLC you dip

Questing knights and knights errant will probably be on there

I JUST POSTED IT YOU SPASTIC

And? They're still in CA, using their funds.

SEGA only gave enough budget for 4 playable factions at launch and when CA told them they want Chaos Warriors as playable rather than AI only. Sega agreed to extra money to develop them as playable but only if they charge it as paid DLC.

CA posted a full blog on it all back in December after the pre order debacle with the entitled vocal minority.
I like CA, even more so with the excellent community team and open transparency they've done for Warhammer.

So?

Should they just sit on their fucking hands until the game is out?

It's the same team that made DLC for Attila and there isn't exactly much for them to do on that front.

Christ you conspiritards are the worst

meme?

You only have so many dudes and dosh to make stuff. Naval combat will eat up a lot of work and money with no real benefit, thus don't fucking do it. I want future content that isn't shit.

>I think a game's budget is a big pool of money not divided amongst the company at all but there for anyone to take from whenever they want
please don't get in to business, for your own sake

do you really think they are having budget problems

>oh no the DLC team bought another Lamborghini how the fuck will we pay the people to fix bugs now???? oh well

u dip

>4 playable factions
>need money for a fifth DLC only faction
>start working on another faction to give out for free

?????????

>Early adopter bonus
>"Free"

Yeah, no.

They’re working on the same project. It's disgusting that there's even any budget allocated at all to DLC pre-release.

Wish Sega stopped being cunts

>a budget consist of all the money available

Holy shit, you're either super underage of fucking retarded.
