They'll be a boring horde faction and you know it, with added 'Rat paths' and ambush mechanics

It is now August, and the howls of dying slaves fill the bleak land of Naggaroth with a sweet cacophony. Very soon the Asur will experience such an atmosphere, for the Witch King is finalising his strategy for the coming campaign.
From all over the land come the lords and ladys of the Black Council, and it will be a permanant position for some. Ever eager to guide her son down the path she has divined, the great Hag Queen Morathi spends much time in council with her son. Though some sense conflict between them in the future, Morathi has promised her strongest pupils will join the legions of the Druchii.
In Har Ganeth the cavorting Brides of Khaine spill the blood of offerings to their God, whilst many a would be sacrifice is lost to the blades of the Executioners. The Beastmasters of Clar Karond rouse their monstrous captives with many a laggard elf suffering in the process. All over Naggaroth the corsair fleets have been sent ahead to pillage and despoil the Black Council's choice of targets, a content glint could be seen in the Witch King's eyes, if anyone had the heart to look at them. The time is now, the treasonous Asur will soon bow to the true Phoenix King whether they wish it or not. Domination by a best elf soon!
Josiah Phillips
I dunno man, with how they've been presenting the game so far, (and their eagerness to fix things the community complains about, like elf shield patterns) i'm pretty excited
Jacob Hernandez
With how long it's taking them to reveal Skaven, they better not be copy pasta.
Ryan Butler
lewd
Daniel Young
so is it just going to be RoR for the reveal tomorrow?
or will it be full blown patch notes? I want to know if my boy gelt is getting some buffs.
Jayden Murphy
What's with all the horde talk when it comes to Skaven? Don't they de facto have cities and conquer places? Are we just defaulting to /v/ behavior and making up reasons to hate the video game?
Juan Johnson
Chaos army with 4x manticores is cheese y/n?
Luis Baker
It's just the FLC reveal.
Luke Myers
is this a cheat mod or something? Everytime I see those awful unit cards it is always followed by a ridiculous kill ratio that screams easy mode.
Oliver Turner
yeah but I don't even get rolling

What's even the point of this shit? Everyone knows it's gonna be scaven. There's no intrigue, people kust wait for them to drop the trailer. Why?
Joshua Gutierrez
ASININE
Ethan Sanchez
no/yes, its dei which changes the combat to have much more emphasis on hammer and anvil and slows down combat. The ai cannot handle the changes and the combat speed means that it is really easy to envelop since even basic troops will hold forever. This makes the battles incredibly easy for the player
Leo Bennett
BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION
Jeremiah Harris
They did the same thing with the vampires last time.
I think it's just to generate hype. They're going to drop Skaven info closer to release to generate hype as Skaven are the most popular race, hoping it'll boost sales.
Cooper Phillips
Rock the boat!
Austin Hernandez
after all of this bait shit with the "le rats don't exist lmao xD" they must be putting that under empire map mechanic
Isaiah Ramirez
Does anyone here play multiplayer? How much focus is on skill vs army unit choices and terrain?

terrain isn't a huge deal
>tw mp >skill
most of it is based on picking the right army composition, which is why the cum-garglers with over 2k hrs in mp all have loadouts for every matchup pre-selected

Malekith=Phoenix King Stay woke

That doesn't sound fun
Nolan Thompson
>They did the same thing with the vampires last time. But they showed them in the first trailer (manny riding a zombie dragon). The "reveal" was chaos, which was a fucking preorder dlc but that's besides the point. With TWW2 they tease this ritual bullshit and show rats, while it's obvious to everyone that it's about muh boi and the crew. What's even the point, CA?
Charles Sullivan
Horde faction would be bullshit of the highest caliber and I'm calling it as such, "Rat Paths" makes no sense, since they can call it the underway and leave it at that, ambush mechanics is too vague to make of anything and if you were being pessimistic you'd be better served by mentioning how it would be disappointing and/or a copy of previous mechanics. 5/10 you said one thing that I would've cared about had I been looking forward to the rats.
Justin Wright
>>tw mp >>skill
really that bad?
Michael Roberts
still a chance at patch notes though
Logan Butler
>tfw I know who that is I'm so corrupted by Slaanesh ._____.
Lincoln Barnes
The problem is they "share" some cities with other factions (i.e. They have lairs under big cities) I wonder how (if) they'll reflect that
Alexander Brooks
They know that they fucked up and made the Skaven shit with shit mechanics, so they're playing up the memes to hide their incompetence for as long as possible before release date.
Nathaniel Rogers
Pretty much this >Armour is now so much more important, so if you have a decently armoured unit it'll hold basically forever. Shock cav basically rule the game with rear charges.
Christian Lopez
>with shit mechanics how so?
Aaron Martin
And they showed the rat in the very first trailer as well, with Skaven etchings on the WH2 logo.
Jackson Miller
That seems pretty close to the truth so far >inb4 it's actually a fucking horde
Brody Bell
Maybe a corruption mechanic that gives you trash units to use in proportion to the percent amount of corruption a region or province is at?
Jordan Evans
>That seems pretty close to the truth so far how so?
Austin Anderson
Pls
Nicholas Kelly
Why would that work in an age when steam refunds are easier than ever to get these days? We only just recently started getting information on Dark Elves, and Norsca didn't get announced in any way until they're release was only a couple weeks or so away. They're just building it up for hype.
Wyatt Ortiz
It.
Just.
Works.
Brody Peterson
This is why I'm a little scared about Skaven in the game. If they just give them regularly territories, it's really guts the way the faction is supposed to be.
But I don't see how they give Skaven cities that are already occupied.
Carson Barnes
I swear to god, if I see another X path again...
Josiah Walker
SOMEONE PLEASE PLAY A MULTIPLAYER MATCH AND USE NOTHING BUT CHARIOTS, THEN POST RESULTS I'M BEGGING YOU
Asher Rogers
A corruption mechanic that emulates a growing skaven population in the settlement's sewers, allowing the race to invade a city from inside the walls once it gets high enough.
Blake Brooks
Shogun 2, WH
Which one should I buy, which one should I pirate?
Christopher Gomez
I completely disagree. Skaven are easily one of the most anticipated races,showing them in detail would draw a lot more hype than being secretive. The game would sell a lot more and buyers would be more confident if they not only knew Skaven were in, but also had solid mechanics and roster.

It is now August. Delirium burns through the forest in the hour of its apex. It is Saemrath, the time of the zenith. Orion is afield, engorged and rampant. The Consort-King and his coterie sally forth to bring a rich harvest of lithe young attendants for the maidens of the Asrai. The enshrined ideal of idleness is usurped, and the ensuing bedlam is but little removed from the bray-herd's bestial madness. From Mousillon to Middenland, the Wild Hunt falls upon the hovels and midden-heaps of the toiling races across the Old World.
Ariel alone remains unswept by the ardor of the hour. It is for the Eternal Queen to interpret the auguries, to ensure that Athel Loren may endure. At the Oak of Ages, Ariel engages in the antiquated Asur heresy of time-keeping. At best a confused effort under Athel Loren's capricious canopy, it is only by degrees that Ariel affirms the rectitude of her assumptions.
Regiments of Renown Soon.

Sauce pls? for research purposes....

Pre-ordering the game now and pre-ordering the game sometime during the three weeks leading up the release when they start showing us Skaven is all the same to them. Look how quickly people got excited for Norsca, and how high sales for the game went up on steam after they were shown off. The game isn't coming out in a couple days, they still have two months of almost daily info to feed us.
David Reyes
If WH2 outsells all hist games combined again will they just put future hist games aside?
I sure hope so. Can't wait for more tears.
Eli Ward
Yeah I think they should have said corruption (infestation/parasitage?) mechanic and as it grows it either allows you to build buildings in the infested cities or to make use of the owner's building (so a building that allows you to recruit soldiers would allow you as well, a workshop would allow you to build canons etc) Or maybe a mix of both, since it wouldn't make any sense to ingest a temple to recruit priests for example
Angel Clark
Have they announced anything of Warhammer 2 aside from the races?
I want to know what features it's bringing to the table. Gotta be something more than a few race packs.
David Campbell
So it's August now, shouldn't we be hearing about Skaven around now? They've had months to meme it up so just announce them already.
Robert Wright
the warhams 2 campaign is going to be centered around that vortex in ulthuan
that's pretty much it I think
Colton Phillips
quite a bit. Mainly that anyone can conquer anywhere, though with potential penalties depending on how much the race likes it, definitive victory and loss conditions beyond crushing your enemies, victory cinematics.
Charles Carter
They've got Team B working on history stuff on the side, and more games means more sales in the end. The real question is what does the fantasy team start working on after WH3 drops.
Not a whole lot of specifics yet, but they're really pushing the new, somewhat more objective driven campaign and we know there'll be navies (but only autoresolve battles). All new map, too, of course.
Benjamin Morgan
Gameplay changes, they announced a complete magic overhaul, new map, campaign centered around the vortex, the combined grand campaign map and some other stuff, like every race being able to conquer anywhere, but different terrains affect growth.
Evan Sullivan
nah that's for the september news
Ian Cruz
This is the lamest fucking shit in existence. Misdeeds? MISDEED?! Makelith is a spoiled brat whose still sucking his momma's tit.
Elijah Cox
To win the campaign you gotta do shit involving the giant vortex in the middle of the world. Ruins can be explored or colonized. Exploring them will result in a "choose your own adventure" thing and result in stuff like finding an artifact, or accidentally spreading vamp corruption in the province. Ulthuan the high elf island is protected by Pheonix gates which have their own unique siege battles, Lizardmen cities have 'something" to do with the magical leyline network. High elves also have a unique resource gained through diplomacy/trade called "influence" its used to do shit like spy on other nations and reveal all their cities.
Austin Barnes
>literally first day of august
give them 2 weeks. once the norscan DLC drops we'll start seeing more shit with rats probably showcased near the tail end of august.
in September it's just shit tons of gameplay videos with let's plays for a week or two prior to release.
Aiden Cruz
Skaven suck desu
Noah Adams

t. Tyrion
Oliver Stewart
how does wh2 connect to 1 in terms of gameplay? owning both gives you a huge ass map or something?
Austin Fisher
Maybe you have limited building slots until you invade and all regions are treated as being isolated from their provinces until you can rise up from beneath them?
Eli Adams
they both have their own campaigns, and will eventually get an update for a combined campaign.
Camden Flores
Yep, and gameplay changes from game 2 apply to game 1 races, like conquering anywhere/more settlement slots/breath attack for dragons
Brody Parker
Malekith is the rightful Phoenix King. The High Elves sabotaged his ritual and made him burn. He was supposed to ascend.
Benjamin Edwards
separate campaigns initially with an addon that merges both maps into 1 big one.
Blake Perry
Well balanced.
Austin Flores
Will they just fuse the 2 campaigns maps together or what? Have they said anything about it in detail?
Jackson Scott
We're the Minotaurs! And you can be one too! Cause peeing and pooping is the thing to do! Farming and building is not the way! Here's what Captain Khazrak has to say!
Nathaniel Myers
that's the general rundown, but no real details aside from that
Henry Sanchez
Only thing said is that parts of the very southern lands will be cut. So the Old World wont be affected at all. And I believe Grace said on Reddit that the vortex wont be the objective
Thomas Moore
What are they gonna do with magic?
Samuel Walker
No clue, they just said they were gonna overhaul it.
