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

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?
Jace Jones

Noah Thomas
Maybe as part of their specialist division, but unlikely.
Gabriel Thompson
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
Owen Robinson
should be fine user, the processor is what counts for these games though
Eli Baker
Any must-have submods for DeI? Heard faster battle speed is highly suggested, is there anything else?
Asher Brooks
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.
Mason Harris
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
Luis Baker
What's gonna be the paid dlc faction? Hopefully beastmen hordes
Logan Cruz
>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.
Jayden Brooks
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.
Adam Bennett
IF OUR POSTER IS TO BECOME GOOK
SHIT POSTER RULER OF ALL /TWG/
Christian Miller
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.
Blake Edwards
Just buy it from steam. Support the developers.
Jack Hill
Only bought the dying light season pass from them and it worked fine
Luis Price
WHEN
Benjamin Sullivan
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...
James Lopez
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
Nathaniel Adams
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?
Brayden Sanders
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.
Dylan Morgan
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.
Jackson Carter
CA should fast-track all the human factions using old assets.
We can finally have Samurai fighting not-samurai.
Liam Wright
>the first expansion development(Which will involve Skaven and Ogres)
SORUCE
Robert Adams
GW will probably prevent them.
Sebastian Sanchez
My dad works for CA.
Matthew Jackson
Makes me cringe seeing this. So bad.
Kayden Moore
>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.
Connor Walker
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.
Jeremiah Harris
Is Warhammer going to have sea battles and navies?
Josiah Garcia
Navy yes, sea battles no
Grayson Hughes
>budget constraints with base game.
That doesn't sound good. I thought Attila sold well enough despite the salty steam reviews.
Luis Wright
That's some bullshit.
Joshua Gutierrez
Navies yes, but battles are auto-resolve only.
I'd expect sea battles to be added once the expansion that adds High Elves hits.
Adrian Gonzalez
Err really?
Nicholas Taylor
What is the rationale behind these HRE borders?
Brayden James
Well, yeah.
That's when the sea actually becomes relevant.
John Jones
I sure hope Lombardy will have mass crossbowmen armies
Adrian Moore
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.
Brayden Turner
>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.
Logan Rivera
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.
Wyatt Mitchell
Sea battles were shit in old RTS game and they're shit in Total War.
Levi Ward
Sea battles are irrelevant because every Total War except Empire has taken place on what is basically a single land mass.
Grayson Green
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.
Cameron Gutierrez
...
Christian Robinson
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.
Adrian Ward
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.
Jack Perez
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.
William Foster
>They told us in several streams Do you know in which one and at what time?
How have you not heard this by now, this video was published more than half a year ago.
Wyatt Lee
Fucking look it up yourself, I'm not gonna sift through a bunch of shit that I already watched just to indulge you.
Sebastian Morris
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
Mason Evans
It's impossible to recreate naval battles in the style of total war.
Elijah Hernandez
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
Brandon Fisher
attila was expected to sell badly.
Alexander Ward
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.
Colton Cooper
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
Evan Taylor
What do you guys think they are going to add or modify on the bretonian unit roster?
Landon Lee
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.
Asher Lopez
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.
Joseph Taylor
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.
Austin Bennett
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.
Gavin Sanders
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.
Joshua Williams
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
Nathan Reed
Presumably the dev team had a limited budget because it"s a risky new IP
Blake Cox
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
Sebastian Howard
More melee units for sure, more peasants
Dylan Young
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.
Nathaniel Roberts
>How did they run out of money for Warhammer then I wonder.
Is this bait? Are people that retarded?
Bentley Thompson
>this fucking meme again
Why the fuck are they even working on DLC pre release?
Lincoln Cox
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.
Because the people making DLC are a separate team?
Dominic Gomez
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
Christopher Hall
Different team for DLC you dip
Leo Evans
Questing knights and knights errant will probably be on there
Brandon Bell
I JUST POSTED IT YOU SPASTIC
Julian Hill
And? They're still in CA, using their funds.
Caleb Moore
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.
Joshua Smith
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
William Harris
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.
Chase Thompson
>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
Aaron Bell
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
Charles Watson
>4 playable factions >need money for a fifth DLC only faction >start working on another faction to give out for free
?????????
Joseph Cook
>Early adopter bonus >"Free"
Yeah, no.
Justin Reyes
They’re working on the same project. It's disgusting that there's even any budget allocated at all to DLC pre-release.
Anthony Butler
Wish Sega stopped being cunts
Ayden Morgan
>a budget consist of all the money available
Holy shit, you're either super underage of fucking retarded.
