Summary:
Saga title is a spiritual successor to Rome 2. Some are guessing the map will be Britannia.
Campaign pack coming up for a past history title, probably Rome 2.
Next big history game is a setting they've never done before. Will feature "important character relations that occur between the major personalities in the game."

Workshop for Warhammer 2 hasn't been enabled yet but will be. Manually installing mods still works.
Some nice little mods (better camera, resized lords, climate battles, thicker dust, bigger units):

JUST

1st for upkeep reduction

Based Zlatan removing Elves from the western island.

Should i buy WH2 at this point?

...

can't wait for

>Get off my fucking lawn you living fucks!

Can't wait for the memery which will ensure when you can Entomb Chariots, Ushabti, Necronights and then have them pop up anywhere on the map at anytime.

First for PURGE

Rogue armies are so fucking stupid and come up with the absolute dumbest army comps

Why?
You can get it for free.
No point buying now.
>no Mortal Empires
>no mods

If you enjoyed the first game and are willing to pay whatever you'll be paying from where you'll be getting it, why not.

If you want and can find a discount this soon after release. Or you could wait a couple of weeks for the combined campaign to drop (assuming you already have TWW1).

Depends. Do you like only grand campaign? If so, wait for the full Grand campaign. If the ritual bullshit still seems interesting to you, then go for it.

You can't currently play any of the TWWH1 races against the TWWH2 races until the grand campaign is released for it. There are some mods which allow you to do it though.

It's a fanatic army.

Mods tomorrow.
Radious already made an unlocker

So whats the strat in this game?

Do you just run 1 doomstack or multiple cheapstacks early on?

Can I upgrade my vanilla Clanrats to the shielded variety or do I have to give them the boot and recruit new ones?

That's a spicy hint for the third game right there!

>Army themed around fanatics and lunatics

Literally what is the problem?

Perhaps you prefer the standard AI army composition of "Literally just 19 of a single troops type because the AI only built one recruitment building"

Guys how crucial is it to beat the others in the vortex race? I'm neck and neck with Hexoatl but they're so fucking far from me and we're on the final ritual.

>tfw you have a shitty 860m
>tfw you're condemned play in this quality with 40 fps

Cathay and Ind have been referenced before and they will never EVER be in a Total War game

>Tower of the Sun
>Tower of the Stars
Day/Night cycle confirmed

Post queer headgiver

LU BU UP IN DIS BITCH

>skeleton giant picks up horseman and uses him as artillery

I want to believe

Depends entirely on your starting location.

Some guys need to defend more than one front, some don't

...

Cathay could get an army and the rest of the world could make it third game standalone. Ind have nothing for an army roster though.

Of course, the major factions must come first.

Multiple cheapstacks has always been the way to go in the recent total wars but in this one since you can actually win while just having a small empire you can afford to just have 1-2 armies depending on who you're playing.

But if you want a regular conquering campaign then multiple cheap armies is the way to go

Who is the worst LL?

> send 5 full stacks of high elves including Tyrion towards Naggarond
> start rape training through the entire dark elf territory
> closing in on Naggarond
> Morathi asks for peace and pays me 4k for it

she fuckin abandoned her son

Morathi without question.

If there is interest I'll post a link for my .ini settings.

Aw, no designated shitting tech?

Makes me think

WAN PAAAAANNNCCCHHHHHHUUUU

Bloody rage, unless you have alternative regen

She can make a new one, one that isn't 99% crispy bacon.

Why is the leader of a bunch of dinosaurs a fucking toad?

any of the High Elf lords
>playing as Inferion or Feckless ever

So starting TWWH2 again afterr kroqgar bored me to death
Going as Tyrion and will vassalise all other elf provinces
Can I stop the ritual by making non ritual lords holders of their races, or does the ritual pass between members of the same race

No. You don't get Norsca. And you won't find it for $35 like when it was pre-order.

>tfw Teclis was too late for the Ulthuan-bowl

Herman Ghorst easily. The better question is who is the best assassin in lore. Malus Darkblade or Deathmaster Snikct. My vote goes to best rat.

GET THE FUCK OUT NORMIE

>tfw when you influence a random orc stack ot be at war with the drushits
>tfw intervention army raze his shit and orcs just capture them back

Someone's going to need his mommy soon.

You are small-time! Try beating this DOOMstack.

When they finish their last ritual you get a mission for 5 turns where you have a quest battle against that race.
The other two races help you in it and it is painfully easy.
After you beat it, they are permanently knocked out of the race for the vortex and can't win.
Though should you lose that battle it is instant defeat afaik.

>Snikch

fuck nordcucks

Anyone got tips for the Dark Elves in the campaign? I've been enjoying Malekith, but I'm not sure whether to raze Mung to the ground to avoid the corruption, and which of the neighbouring factions to conquer or to confederate with.

Send help immediately.

>tired of the constant delf incursions because of the stupid forced war after 4th ritual
>decide to send all my doomstacks to take over naggaroth
>lustria, naggroth and ulthuan under my control
>time to start 5th ritual methinks
>5 doomstacks spawn in the middle of buttfuck nowhere in my territory and start razing all my settlements
>bullshit, but time to reload and send my stacks to their spawn location so I don't have to spend ages watching my territory burn
>spend 10 turns getting armies to the right location
>start ritual again
>doomstacks spawn in the middle of lustria now and start razing my settlements there
JUST

>click 'enable introduction'
>loading screens give you the fluff on a race
>don't tick 'enable introduction'
>loading screens are simple battle and campaign controls
>I paid £29 for this shit

I think I ran into a glitch, anyone else have this happen?
>lose big battle
>post battle screen shows my entire army dead
>my turn rolls around
>that same army is almost completely fine and just a few steps away from where the battle happened
I literally only have to wait a full turn and the army is back to full strength to fight again and the battle I lost was the enemy army ambushing me. What the fuck happened?

Ture. Tomb kangz followed by ogres and thats it.
>There are actually ogres in the badlands, lore wise

How the fuck does that happen?

Faction unlocker for custom battles has been out forever and is pointless

>it is time the lower races submitted to our rule
ELF PRIDE WORLDWIDE

I never understand how people can gain so much money. Played on Hard as Tyrion for 150 turns (could've probably done the final ritual sooner) and never got anywhere close to that kind of money.

It will be a great day indeed

youtube.com/watch?v=p7C0arR310g

And chaos divided and demons ofc...
There. TW WH3 with 6/7 new factions.

Who is gonna be the second DLC faction after tomb kings?

>I will make my ancestors proud
So is this why CA had them beaten up in every trailer

enjoy your shilling shill fuck?

They play on easy

What? Malekith and his mommy have control of the entire north america and north pole and now they're fucking me up. This is legendary by the way.

Die Druchii scum

>wanted real time HOMM3 since I was wee bab
>never played Total War so not sure I'll like TW:WH2
>pirate it since it's stupid expensive
>can't fucking stop playing
>accidentally the entire campaign

shit

I'll still buy it if I can find someone to play with though.

When the fuck do I get a krell? I don't want to be the worst vamp Lord anymore

>our actions have shaped the fate of the world
WE WUZ

I've just never seen the AI coordinate 3 stacks outside of spawned hordes.

GET KROAKED

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING BLOOD WHY IS CA SUCH A SHIT COMPANY THAT THEY CANT JUST RELEASE BLOOD DAY OF I CANT PLAY THIS SHIT BECAUSE IT LOOKS TO FUCKING CLEAN AND RUINS MY FUCKING IMMERSION REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Are there any mods that enable tier-4 minor settlements for TW:WH 2 yet? Workshop still isn't enabled frustratingly.

I will never understand why this literally who was added in when there are more important lords with much more lore out there

>tfw the only good units in the delf roster are darksharts and black guard

Take a look at the desert vampires then.

The second game can give us;

>Tomb Kings
>Araby
>Dogs of War

And maybe >Vampire Coast

Third game will give us, starting with likely pre-order;

>Kislev
>Khorne
>Tzeentch
>Nurgle
>Slaanesh
>Ogre Kingdoms
>Chaos Dwarfs

And Maybe
>Cathay
>Nippon

Build money building in every settlement, research the tech to discover every coastal faction, trade with absolutely everyone.

That's on normal with only, like 4 provinces and a half and 16k army upkeep

Will my 'pet' humans ever give me cities?
I didn't realize you could only Confederate with your own races so I made the humans near the Lizardmen start into friends and let them take a few provinces. The issue is they have one of my territories for one of the provinces that generates tablets, and I want to get it complete for the proclamation.
The second option is just murdering all the humans, which I could do at any point I wish since they are tiny.

how will they justify a third game, since there are 14 races on the tabletop, and the first game had 8 of them. Even if daemons are four different races, that's still only 17, and four of them have 4-5 units each

are they seriously going to release a fucking blood DLC for every single warhammer game? this is jewry on a whole new level

What about actual pirates? I can see them being added in along with the Dogs of War.

t.retard

>falling for the four flavors of chaos meme

Actual retard

There is literally no reason not to pirate it

Yea, beg for mercy you degenerate mommy's boy

MORE VAMPIRES

C A T H A Y N I P P O N I N D

MORTAL EMPIRES WHEN
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

...

so we're just making armies up now to continue the jewing? ok, that's fine

Lads how do I attain a lot of money as skaven? Their buildings give me fuck all.

>Warhammer 3 trailer starts
>Chinese music begins

How do you react?

Is it putting it's heads in a fucking knot?

2018

A

FUCKING

HEART

Lol

You know the lack of differences between the same race in Warhammer 2 bothers me

I feel like Mors shouldn't be allowed to recruit the plague units without conquering or confederating Pestilers first
