HOLA SKEENKS

It's right there, black and white, dude. Check the credits if you think photoshopped the image.

Then there's this:

>"The studio staff working on each team varies over time as the production ramps up/down or enters different stages of development. Not all teams are equal in size, and staffers will move between projects as they are needed."

forums.totalwar.com/discussion/183522/what-the-total-war-teams-are-working-on-updated-1st-september-2016

So basically, unless I'm misunderstanding this completely which is possible, I've stayed up way too long, they all just move to whatever project needs them.

>medieval 2 has somehow aged way worse than Rome

nani the fuck

G O B L I N S

So what I'm getting in TWW2 there will be 4 new races plus the old ones from TWW1,old world and new continents and naval battles(??).

Dumb meme race

Yeah that's a good point actually arent the glade lords supposed to be the individuals chosen to become the wild riders and in turn orion eventually? I'm new to welf stuff.

4 new races, many of the TWW1 ones present, old world combined with new world in a grand campaign "weeks, not months after launch". Naval battles but auto resolve only.

No naval battles, but there will be stuff to do at sea.

Naval battles are auto-resolve like M2TW

Rome 1 is the best TW though, hard to match.

LOSER AND GIT

>beat Archaon and his warriors of chaos
>all of my units are now literally free of upkeep cost
>mfw I make money even though I have two stacks of nothing but mammoths

like this is practically cheating

>pikes worked perfectly in R1
>are completely non-functional in M2 without locking them to one weapon
Of all the janky bullshit in M2 this is what befuddles me the most.

pretty sure wild riders are something different, but on tabletop glade lords could ride monstrous stags which impaled people on their antlers.

Kinda sad you can't get that in TWW, it's be a nice stop-gap between foot and dragon for melee lords.

fucking Slanaashi shit stains

>Capturing Carcassone as Norsca increases trade income by 500% after doing the tech
>you will literally never trade with anyone anyway

What's the damn point?

dual melee weapon units are buggy in rome 1 too, it just doesn't work with pikes for some reason

Add Djinns and we're in buisness

Trolls? Very underwhelming

How would a full fimir or skinwolf stack go?

I know I could go 19 mammoths but that'd just be an auto-win button

Anyone have good memories of Shogun 2 naval combat where you'd pick 10 torpedo boats and the other guy would pick 1 'Warrior' ironclad?

Good times

Let us all praise Slaanesh together, user

MAKE WAY
FOR PRINCE ALI

>mfw hot armored camel dick becomes the most OP cav in the game

Rock the boat!

Araby travel guide book, please.

>TWW2 at launch
>click on Araby general
>BY THE COMET

How do you react?

>men can't fly they said

I was wondering that myself

>I know I could go 19 mammoths but that'd just be an auto-win button

So?

>there are people who will unironically play high elves for their first run

High elves must be the most generic boring faction in warhammer

Wake up you limp-dicked milksops and ROLL YOUR FATES

Stupid and gay. Marienburg should be annihilated by swarthy norscans

Lategame is boring enough as it is without having an auto-win stack

Next time I'm going to try and win with nothing but the basic marauder unit, I don't think quest missions will even be viable

There are some pretty baffling decisions in this game.

>dubs

Why keep this when dubs have been removed from /v/ and Veeky Forums? Also roll I guess

>Norsca bows to Marienburg

are there any forest orcs roaming the Empire or is it just forest goblins and their spider god?
would like some more orcs as i'm a bit tired of gobbos

Imagine a total war game that was interesting in early, mid AND late-game

I know CA tried this with shogun 2 'realm divide' and again now with the chaos invasion but I'm sure they could do more.

Burn down CA headquarters

yeah, the most fun I have is usually in the first 30 turns then it turns to poop because of how shit the city management is and how you're encouraged to just tech up and sit around and then stomp your AI foes

>Imagine a total war game that was interesting in early, mid AND late-game

it's pretty hard to do in most any big strategy game. eventually the player just has too much shit and steam rolls through or if the game is too hard never makes it to the late game.

it's hard to balance it so players both enjoy it and feel some challenge.

Why didn't Gelt just fly Thorgrim to the chaos wastes with his giant eagles?

warhammer isn't terrible for this

depends on the faction, I suppose

How do you deal with low replenishment rates in Attila? Playing as a Horde pretty much means you'll be fighting everything that moves and the casualties are fucking hurting right now

They tried. They kept eating the passengers.

Name one faction that's interesting lategame as you're sweeping across the map

What's the deal with Goblin warbosses? They're lame!
Where are my orc champions?

You know it's funny how you'd usually want one faction to become a gigantic challenge but then you're thinking of how undiverse your ending will be because you can only fight this one race.

As a horde just go into encampment stance in a vassal/ally's territory. Going into encampment stance in a razed region will give shit replenishment rates

well I consider chaos to be lategame

you suck it up, champ. don't be afraid to merge units and recruit more if that'll save you an extra turn of encamping

Late game legendary FOTS was pretty fun and intense

Legendary FOTS is the most difficult TW campaign so far though

this still makes no sense to me. if the Attila designers where working on warhammer why did it turn out the way it did? was it because it was being developed so early on? if so then why is warhammer 2 shapping up the way it is? was that also being developed before attila?

What do regular, non-gelt gold wizards look like?
Happy merchants?

This is old concept art so it's not explicitly canon. The small creatures are supposed to be familiars.

Neat. Thanks user. Shame they all got killed.

what does lightning strike on a siege do?

...

Makes sense, they are supposed to be closest to Alchemists.

LLLLLLIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!

Best lore.

RICHAAAARDS!!!

horned rat is best-best!

wtf I waited 5 mins to hear this comment before proceeding
like when I click lightning strike on this town + army the autoresolve indicator becomes less in my favor for some reason

Celestial hurricanum when?

>Golden skull mask
>Golden eagle mask

So fucking pimp.

AMBER WIZARD

You got some Amethyst wizards in there?

I need the name of the man who does these because its always pure gold.

AMBER WIZARD LOOOOORDDDD!

Coming up.

Dave Gallagher.

(Reposting here because I accidentally posted in the previous thread like a dumbass)

How many unique Chaos armies are there in the invasion? I beat the Lord of Change, Sigvald, wounded Archaon, killed a generic Chaos lord, and now Kholek waddled his fat ass out of the wastes. I got shit to do. I need to go burn down Sylvania and fill the mountains with enough plague that no Dawi can live in them again.

Uhh, lads? Where the fuck did they go?

...

I had this happen as well basically since they are at war with you and have no regions you can't see them or some shit. It's most likely to prevent people from tracking the challengers since they literally gun it for your main faction leader.

>game is running fine
>restart comp

epic

do any of these games have decent pvp

>Those familiars

Amazing.

How can necrobabbies even compete?
