>History information: totalwar.com/blog/what-the-teams-are-working-on-07-06-17 totalwar.com/blog/a-total-war-saga-announce-blog 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."
What's the relationship between the regular dwarfs and the chaos ones?

Caleb Johnson
Like Dark/High elves but they dont actively seek eachother out. But that's mostly on the basis that they both got more pressing problems closer by

Total War Arena is having an open beta weekend. You just need a wargaming.net account to play. Dont get too excited, its a wargaming game with a total war skin. Its 10vs10, with each player controlling 3 units of total war style archetypes. You can mix and match (one spear unit and two cavalry, for example) or just go pure which seems to be the better option in my opinion, they ruined true unit diversity by giving you 'heroes'.
Heroes have 3 special active abilities each. Some are generic like 'speed increase', others are more specific like 'artillery accuracy'. The result is that most of the time you are best off picking a hero that is really good for the unit type you want to use, and then just hoping your team is well rounded and coordinates. (hahahahahahah)
>is it Total War? Says so right in the name :^) The unit archetypes are what you would expect. Spears are good against cavalry. They can toggle on phalanx mode that makes them good against swords too but pretty much dead if they get flanked. Cavalry wants to charge things in the back to break morale. The game is melee skewed. Ranged units take a long time to kill infantry. Cavalry tends to hold back till melee starts happening (other than scouting), ranged shoots at incoming enemies then bugs out or tries for supporting fire (which can be risky if you dont know how to do it with out killing your team mates)
>is it fun? Its free! If you enjoy microing two or three units in total war you may enjoy it. Long term its another shitty wargaming game. You might grind to tier 10 and play a while then quit.
>setting? Historical fantasy land full of memes.
>Waifus? Two! Boudica (war dog specialist) and cynane (archer specialist). Also scipio looks like a total fag.
You might as well play it if you are a histfag. Remember to spend gold on cosmetic warpaints :^)
Sebastian Smith
They never fought a war like the elves did though right.
William Myers
They got separated during the Great Chaos Invasion that occurred 6000 years ago. Ancestors of Chaos Dwarfs were almost going to be annahilated by the Daemons but in desperation they made a pact with a minor Chaos God called Hashut and became his servants.
Ian Baker
...
Dominic Torres
Nope, they'd still kill eachother on sight though.
Joseph Anderson
My Skaven forces are on the verge of riot because they have been eating rotten flesh and bone stew since turn 30.
Robert Reyes
Well that what's happens if you spoil them.
Ethan Peterson
Dwarfs do not acknowledge the existence of chaos dwarfs. They are the dwarf race's greatest shame.
Jeremiah Rivera
Dawi and their Gods abandoned Chaos Dwarf ancestors to their doom during Chaos invasion, so in desperation they became Hashut's servants. Hashut is some Chaos god with bull aesthetics.
>We’ve changed the manner in which Chaos now invades the world. Invasion waves trigger when the player’s empire reaches a certain scale; the threshold for this has been raised for all invasion waves, and will no longer activate by default by a certain turn. As a result, Chaos invasions are more likely to happen later than before, in-keeping with the scale of the campaign. >In addition, invasion waves now begin at war with a whole range of factions, barring Chaos and Beastmen. And while the player may well start at war with Chaos, they will no longer be targeted by all Chaos armies which appear. This should make for a more varied invasion, as the player’s faction will not be alone in warring with Chaos, and further supports the sandbox design of Mortal Empires. >To complement this, the High Elves and Lizardmen now join the other notionally ‘good’ or ‘orderly’ factions (ie Empire, Dwarfs and Bretonnia) in gaining the Shield of Civilisation trait when the main Chaos invasion occurs. >In aggregate, these changes aim to make the Chaos invasion later and fairer, bringing more non-player factions into a state of war with Chaos, and increasing gameplay variety across your campaigns. We’re looking forward to hearing how you find these changes.
There's some other bug fixes too, the most important of which is probably a fix to the border-line game breaking post-battle selection bug that happened in coop campaigns
Mason Williams
So how do you deal with Skaven food supply? The most efficient thing seems to be to field a stack of slaves that raid your own provinces all the fucking time but it gets really tiring and honestly, eternally raiding yourself is kinda silly too.
John Martin
git gud
Tyler White
Hate. Regular almost flat out refuses to acknowledge their existence & CDorfs likewise thinks badly of their former brethren.
Brandon Garcia
You pretty much have the gist of it, you raid yourself for food and farm the stacks of rebels that you generate.
Either that or you get a mod that adds some food to a skaven building chain.
Charles Howard
Chorfs get no sympathy from me. Grimnir, Valaya and Grungi all go to fight Chaos trying to destroy the world and keep them at bay while the elves make the great vortex. Grimnir himself enters a chaos Webway gate to shut it himself in the bronze keep where hochland is forever, making sure chaos only can spawn from the north and south poles. Valaya and Grungi give it their all saving the world as well.
Chaos dwarves the selfish pricks they are abandon their ancestor gods because they couldn't get to their nasty shit hole of a kingdom in time and literally cuck out and prep the bull hashut for all eternity instead of leaving.
Daniel Perry
Well shit, modding it is then.
Ayden Garcia
...
Henry Price
Oh yeah just download the unlimited food mod you fucking cheating shitter
Brayden King
I know right, what a faggot. Clearly hitting that sweet autoresolve button times your provinces every turn is part of the unique Skaven experience.
David Cox
Be careful, you start with a food mod and before you know it you're using regiments of gyrocopter darkshards (live goblin ammunition)
Liam Campbell
Don't try to grab every settlement on the map, just build up a few provinces to pay for your stacks and then raze everything else.
When you're at war with someone your goal should be just to destroy all of their settlements, there are no downsides for you in doing that. Then when you've wiped them out you can grab the useful ones and leave the rest as ruins.
Parker Price
Basically you have to be constantly aggressive. Whether that means raiding enemy lands or your own as well as prioritising acquiring settlements with pastures.
Juan Sullivan
I seem to be the only person who hates the idea of any chaos factions spawning but warriors of chaos. I don't see why chaos spawning in the desert or ocean is at all fun or interesting.
Bentley Gomez
No thanks. I got my fill with World of "Tanks" MOBA long ago.
Liam Collins

James Reed
Can you find a new copypasta please, this is not as entertaining as tomb kings still not announced guy and Nagash guy.
Jonathan Collins
it's a slippery slope
Lucas Moore
What female LLs are there even? Isabella, Morathi, Fey Enchantress, that's it, right? On another note, what the fuck can they even add after tomb kangz? Kislev probably won't be it as you can't just slap them onto the Vortex campaign but who the fuck else would have an interest in this whole shit
Bentley Gomez
just don't reply, after awhile they will disappear on their own
Isaac Baker
How's your BadlandsBowl comming along, lads?
Grayson Morales
After Tomb KANGZ it will be TW3, they aren't going to add Chaos Dwarfs or Ogres when ME requires another game, unless buying Chorf/Ogre DLC makes ME available too.
Ryder Ward
>Doomtide >again another 9 stacks spawn just off the coast of Slavers Point
What the fuck, I literally just killed all these niggers
Charles Wilson
Araby will be a norsca case
Nathaniel Collins
Why didn't CA just save Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen for Warhammer 3?
Both are poorly implemented and unpopular,and CA knows damn well that Warhammer 3 only has 3 other races left (and all of them are c-list). Wasted potential 2bh.
Austin Gutierrez
It was long and bloody.
Caleb Hill
Does the hotfix actually fix the chaos invasion? Are units not attacking routing enemies still a thing?
Noah Clark
Because a Warhammer game with no Chaos would have made people furious.
Aaron Gomez
Does anyone have WH1 installed? Could you please upload the old unit portrait of Isabella? I liked it more than the new one in WH2.
Justin Fisher
They will update them when 3 comes out
Grayson Johnson
Araby Vampire Coast Dogs of War
Take a guess, no one knows for certain
Jaxon Evans
we will get Hellebron, Valkia, Katarina, Khalida and Possibly Neferata.
Hudson Ross
>Damn, Katarina looks like *THAT*!?
Anthony Hall
People were furious anyway. In the end we've gotten was 2 sub par DLC races and a 3rd game that has to rely on AoS tier Chaos god shittery to even have 4 races on release.
Daniel Mitchell
>Does the hotfix actually fix the chaos invasion?
The patchnotes say what the hotfix does
Mason Martinez
Are skaven only invisible in their default movement stance (well, outside of ambush obviously) or does it apply to others too? I haven't had the displeasure of dealing with rats too often and I don't think I ever actually saw them outside of that underway stance.
Caleb Clark
But its got lewd!
Cameron Clark
Should I just get a mod that stops the AI from confederating or brace for the bearded tide?
Nathaniel Price
>Should I get an easy-mode cheat mod
No?
Charles Phillips
>>Bertha Bestraufrung Fucking lmao, did GW just slap some German sounding syllables together or what?
Ethan Hernandez
Not nearly as furious as they would have been. I don't see how it benefits CA at all to make decisions which will improve the game in the long term at the cost of upsetting people (more) in the short term.
Blake Lopez
>In addition, invasion waves now begin at war with a whole range of factions, barring Chaos and Beastmen. And while the player may well start at war with Chaos, they will no longer be targeted by all Chaos armies which appear. Fucking finally
Jace Jackson
>The patchnotes say what the hotfix does Yes i know. That's why i'm asking >"We felt it more important to make the Chaos invasion changes we’ve been working on available to players as early as we could; both for your immediate enjoyment, and to gather community feedback about how the hotfix changes the game" Were the changes enough? Is ME actually worth playing now? Do your units actually chase down and kill routing units? They certainly didn't back when ME launched.
David Stewart
>Screw you guys mom's got the tendies ready
Landon Adams
Is there a mod that gives Bretonnian knights different helmets?
Also, Damsel should get a replenish skill. It's really dumb that New World factions all got one guy who can replenish their armies in one turn,meanwhile factions like Bretonnia have to wait like 5 turns just recover.
Evan Wright
How about you start a campaign and check for yourself instead of letting others spoonfeed you, you lazy hack
Josiah Bailey
We don't know, the patch only just dropped.
Caleb Diaz
I don't think people could have been much angrier. Shitters were running around yelling 'CA is finished' just because of the WoC bonus. Beastmen and WoC are still review bombed after almost two years
Austin Watson
>CA took 2 weeks for a half hotfix beta without fixing some serious bug while modders fixed the chaos invasion in 2 days
Colton Powell
That's just the base level anger that accompanies every single video game release now.
Nolan Miller
>"How about you play a campaign for a 100 turns to find out if it's still shit or not" Was not aware of this. Thanks user.
Eli Anderson
They took one week, and that includes the weekend
Cooper Mitchell
Dwarfs are dying because of their single-minded refusal to change, adapt, and better themselves as a race. By all objective metrics, they have failed, are failing, and will die out.
On the opposite, Chaos Dwarfs are thriving, having created one of the most stable empire ever, routinely enslaving whole populations to do their bidding in their forges. By all account, their willingness to change and to adapt had made them better as a race.
Jason Murphy
God I fucking hate the badlands, I wish Belegar didn't have to go there
Easton Robinson
>better themselves They are already perfect
Hudson Martin
>thriving >literally refuse to leave the badlands since their black orc slaves fucked their assholes so hard they never recovered
Cmon user
Joshua Kelly
You can test the forgetting orders bug yourself in about 10 minutes. As for the invasion fix, how should we know? As you said, it takes a 100 turns to get that far, and the patch just dropped
Fucking spoonfed /v/ermin
Jackson Powell
just play on easy mate
Caleb Sullivan
>We are investigating all the other issues we’re seeing raised (outside of those balance concerns people are raising regarding the Foundation Update),
what the fuck does that even mean? Just make Norsca limited to Coastal cities and LL Capitals as always, it will be fine.
Ryan Russell
>Is there a mod that gives Bretonnian knights different helmets?
Cataph >slaps some textures and models together and creates some bottom of the barrel tier rosters which are basically Empire remixed >people suck him off over it
SFO >actually changes every relevant part of the game for the better >gets shat on every day
William Clark
go away Grace
Landon Miller
He is isn't a white supremacist racist like the fans of this game and steel faith
Tyler Peterson
Fucking redditspacing
Ethan Long
They're thriving because they're Chaos worshippers who are naturally resistant to Chaotic mutation.
Nicholas Long
>actually changes every relevant part of the game for the better here's your (You)

Always a pleasure
Jonathan Reyes

Robert Sanchez
Kislev gonna be DLC for a 1st game. The same goes for a southern realms. Like other 1st warham dlc it would carry to Mortal Empires. The same can go about CHD and Ogres as they will just add some eastern territories to base WH 1 map and ME.
Isaiah Wright
> DLC for a 1st game (you)
Mason Davis
damn those nurgle minotaurs really have bad taste
Bentley Thompson
>Not "Let it go" Edition
Michael Evans
it does sound dumb but...
they're literally working on DLC for Rome 2 right now, so
