>>335007792
Okay.
>>335007792
Tanks and lasers are super original.
Not-History is the thing TW needed to revitalize itself.
Two things worry me greatly. One is siege battles, they've shown the same siege style over and over. You can't surround a city, its all either a corner defense with 2 walls or a 3 wall defense. Even the latest video shows a corner defense.
Two is how AI will deal will all the new shit to do/work around. Spells, unique enemies and attacks, shit like that.
Sucks Bretonnia won't be playable in campaigns, only custom battle with a limited roster.
Dwarf masterrace reportan
>>335008429
Judging by how well people are able to root around in the inner workings. We might get a playable Bretonnia, but without any quests/missions sometime later. But the actual Bretonnia freelc should be coming after like a month.
>>335008429
Brets are the likely candidate to be the FLC faction CA mentioned.
why is nobody talking about the recent new bretonnia gameplay?

How retarded can you get?
>>335009425
I don't see the parallels. Rome 2 had only a couple scripted battles shown by this time. Meanwhile we know the full rosters of every faction and have seen the campaign, scripted battles, custom battles, sieges as the attacker and sieges as the defender. What parallels are you drawing here, other than it looks great?
>>335009727
Are those not good enough reasons? They sound pretty good to me, especially after factoring in how many literally whos are getting early access to the game to show it off.
>>335009528
>shitting on 40k just because of some shitposter

Cautiously optimistic. I'm not gonna pre-order it or anything, but I'm eagerly awaiting reports from real people playing it on release with no bullshit.
>>335010296
40k is garbage
Holy shit, fucking finally a Warhammer Total War game
>not 40k
Why even bother? I've already played it when it was called "Third Age : Total War"
>>335010296
He's not necessarily shitting on 40k, he's just reminding anon not to throw stones in a glass house.
Memeing aside, I genuinely cannot fathom why people keep asking for a 40k Total War game. It just wouldn't work. The sharp end of combat is all about small unit tactics, which just does not mesh at all with Total War's gameplay.
>>335010394
Why the fuck would you want a 40k Total War game?
At best, you played Warhammer lite. Lord of the Rings is really lacking compared to Warhammer.

All this butthurt. We don't need another bland fantasy game where muh orcs vs dwarves shit goes on. Thats getting old. We do however, need a WH40k game, not necessarily along the lines of total war, but more probably as a 4X type game.
>>335006314
I hope I can find this without all the logos.
>>335007792
tolkien fantasy is the best fantasy though
>>335010660
Because its set during the same period as storm of chaos?
Because it won't crash 5 times during end turn?
>>335010660
You're asking for the gameplay formula to be so heavlily modified that it would no longer even resemble Total War. Why not instead ask for something like DoW 3.
And Call of Warhammer is unstable trash.
>>335010665
Just because it copied some aspects, doesn't mean it didn't greatly expand upon them.
>>335010619
You are a fag. I'm going to be playing Stellaris instead. Also Ultimate General >>>> Total War.
>>335006314
I'm looking forward to it.
I think the addition of fantastical elements is a really cool direction for a Total War game.
>>335010665
In terms of unit types, it is. The copy has been added to, LOTR died with Tolkien.
>>335010660
40K Total War wouldn't work, or make sense
200 space marines is like planetary annihilation level. 200 of anything in TW is like Ultra unit size of the lowest of tiers shit unit.
>>335010729
40K has gotten plenty of games though and is still getting more. Its got 2 third person action games, one being like Battlefield, and Dawn of War 1 and its several expansions and Dawn of War 2 with its 2 expansions.
>>335010807
its too pure to be raped by big AAA devs though. Third age TW is the best Tolkien game.
Literally the opposite of that lore abomination that shadows of mordor was.
>>335010889
>one battle

>>335010729
>We don't need another blandgame where muh >We do however, need a WH40k game
I honestly can't tell if this is ironic but judging by how 40k subhumans normally act I guess its real.
>>335009425
You're comparing a game where they basically showed no real gameplay footage up to release, to the most transparent release they've ever done. They even delayed it so reviewers and such could get a hold of it prior to release, adn youtubers can release let's plays
>>335010889
can't wait for the racial diversity DLC for 10$ and the racial diversity face packs for another 2$.
Oh, also the game breaks if you don't buy the racial diversity DLC :^)
>>335010985
>>335010882
Everyone instantly says it wouldn't work, but can't give any reason as to why.
Warscape handles melee and ranged battles really phenomenally, and 40k would fit great in the TW style of combat.
>>335010889
Stellaris looks a little too barebones in the base game personally. It has a lot of random elements and bits that can change, but so much of it seems to come together in a pretty typical 4x space package and doesn't do anything unique. Even the Endgame disasters aren't unique, games like Sword of the Stars have had things like that long before now.
Ultimate General was pretty fun though.
This game looks great so far aside from sieges.
Sieges look fucking awful. It's pretty concerning.
If you are hyped for this game, get ready to be disappointed.
Remember Rome 2. at launch.
>>335011205
no it wouldn't.
40k doesn't have giant armies footslogging in formation. It has giant armies fighting in planet spanning battles using a mixture of every 80s idea possible.
>>335011209
>>335010889
How's Stellaris compared to Distant Worlds?
>>335010729
>battlefleet gothic coming out in a few hours
>hurr we need another 40k game
Please don't think this asshole represents all 40k fans, /v/. A lot of us like Fantasy too.
>>335011205
Because it should be immediately obvious.
>40k will fit great with TW style of combat
Do they fight in maniples in 40k? No? Then it doesn't fit TW style of combat AT ALL.

You do realize that Tolkien borrowed a lot of stuff from other stories and folklore, right? he didn't invent most of the shit.
Waitin for CA to anounce this guy as the Tzeentch LL
>>335011454
They've shown real gameplay footage months before Rome 2's release, that anon doesn't know anything and is clearly a liar.
>>335011542
>0 mods
>this is what steam workshop faggots believe.
They fucking told the Total war modders that they left the file system intact so that older mod tools could work on it. I can't wait when the day 2 faction unlocker is released.
>>335011560
he built a consistent mythos though.
>>335011623
The only ones I remember are the Carthage custom battle, and some Ambush thing.
>>335010986
>one battle
>comparable with total war
You still get the same variety. The only difference is one has functional AI and one does not. Oh and one isn't overpriced gloss.
>>335011623
they allowed reviewers, youtubers and the like to record the game directly from CA's office. They showed a recording of a multiplayer match between the CA community guy and the most popular youtuber.
>>335011682
And they didn't let the general public play them. Nor did they let a bunch of youtubers play an hour of campaign 2 months before release.
>>335011337
I've never played Distant Worlds, but heard generally positive things about it. The automation is supposed to mean that you can easily scale how autistic you want your control of the game to be, and it can be pretty damn deep if you want. The game has also been out a long time and has had lots of expansions and content added over the years.
Stellaris looks like it has more personality with the race customization and visuals, but the game seems pretty simple. Smaller maps and fewer races, higher emphasis on managing planet pops and internal populations over external threats. The game isn't even out yet and already feels like it's missing things in preparation for DLC (The game is seriously lacking an intelligence gathering/espionage system). I might say something like Endless Space would be comparable on release, although even Endless Space has more racial variation.
>>335006314
UNIT HPs WERE A MISTAKE!
Shogun 2 has perfected 1hp combat while with the new system the combat looks like shit with units fallin in heart attacks.
The matched animations looks shit. And those bloated hp-pools make combat seems like erratic shit.
>>335011682
And remember how the game was nothing like those battles?
Remember how they cut loads of content and animations we saw in those videos?
Remember how the AI was so literally broken for the first month you could attack them or conquer their city and they wouldn't react to it at all?
I'm incredibly hopeful for this game to be great. But if you are going to blindly believe it's going to be great after CA's track record you might actually be a battered house bitch.
>>335006314

>>335011769
>All those poor fuckers who died from falling while climbing castle wall.
>>335011718
sure buddy. I get it CA is a big bad ebil boogeyman and gettysburg has an AI that has been optimized to work on 1 map, but it is clearly better.
Close combat is better because it had weather effects.
>>335011769
>shogun 2 had multiple HP units

>>335011808
>multiplayer battle is scripted.
>the shitload of people who have recorded their own campaigns in CA's offices are scripted.

The only part of Warhammer one is not allowed to like is Age of Sigmar.
>>335011942
>on 1 map
I see you haven't played the game at all. Just because the setting is the battle of Gettysburg doesn't mean it's a single map.
>>335011964
Transparent how?
Playing battles that could very well be highly polished and scripting like they've literally been caught doing before?
And before you point to the Youtubers, keep in mind they didn't get copies of the game. They got invited to play a quick match on their level against a CA employee and record it for their channel.
That tells us literally nothing about AI, balancebalance looks like shit, but that can easily be fixed and is kind of expected with bringing lords into the game, bugs, or anything useful. Hell, in one of those battles we discovered that there aren't even animations for crumbling walls anymore, there's just a bad cloud of dust effect and then a giant hole.
Stop drinking the CA cummies and be cautious with your money around shady companies.
>>335012083
fanboys, anon.
>>335011205
>can't give any reason as to why
The scale is too big. Imagine bringing in basilisks for a siege. You'd be able to shoot the enemy or their fortifications from anywhere on the map. Or have your master of ordnance call in artillery barrages. You could theoretically kill your enemy without ever moving from your deployment area.
>>335011342
>battlefleet gothic
Will I keep my progress and all these ships and stuff?
>>335012224
It's getting wiped. Sorry mate.
>>335011623
They only let people publicly play one scripted battle, they never let anyone touch the full game until after it was released.
>>335006314
>a total war game that's not based on actual history
It's fucking shit and a waste of time. CA are fucking retarded faggots.
>>335012196
There's literally no reason they couldn't tone things done to work well within the game.
The only problem would be the screaming autist throwing tantrums about MUUUHHH COODDDEEEXXXX
>>335012120
They played entire campaigns as the vampire counts. CA must be god tier scripters to script everything from sieges to campaign decisions on the fly.
>>335012254
Thanks for the info
>>335012120
You can't get more transparent than releasing review copies weeks before the games released.
>>335012120
Ignoring youtubers, the game has been playable at numerous events for the general populous. Youtubers got to play an hour of campaign though. If you're going to claim that CA doctored it, I don't know what to tell you, other than my original deduction that you're a deluded fuck.
How does the balance look shit? Specifically. A wall crumbling animation has been replaced?! THE GAME IS RUINED. FUCKING CA KIKES STRIKE AGAIN!
>>335012083
Attila was good, and with warhammer they are clearly trying to be more transparent.
>>335012303
And now you're just lying or talking out of your ass.
Everyone was only allowed to play 20ish minutes of the campaign.
Like I originally said, the game looks good so far, and I hope it is, but you have to be actually retarded to fully believe everything you've seen or heard from CA.
>>335012083
>CA patches the game and makes it decent
>next game comes out that plays better and gets actual good DLC instead of meme unit packs.
>CA address community concerns actively.

How many battle maps are in the game? With such a vast landscape, with unique monuments, they might have the most of the series
I really fucking need to see a siege battle where you can surround the city. It seems they 100% got rid of these, which is terrible.
>>335012476
they were allowed to record 30 minutes of the campaign. The smarter youtubers recorded campaign gameplay instead of the flashy battles. Hell one guy spent half an hour playing through the campaign and uploaded it instead of the battles.
>>335012476
No, you're the one lying or talking out of your ass. They got an hour to play, which they got to choose to divide between the two scenarios and the vampire counts campaign. Why are you lying? What's your agenda here?
>>335010729
>My opinions are facts
>>335012603
>I really fucking need to see a siege battle where you can surround the city. It seems they 100% got rid of these, which is terrible.
Either the cities have to be tiny like in other TW games, or full sized and you're only able to siege part of it.
>>335012303
>entire campaigns as the vampire counts
>>335012413
>Youtubers got to play an hour of campaign though
Not that guy but which is it? Also link?
I'd like to see what this game is all about
I remember when Total War thread were chill as fuck.
What happened?
>>335012697
Every single city doesn't have to be fuckhueg in scale. Plenty of Rome 2/Attila maps were big and could be assault from sea and land from all sides
>>335012712
Rome 2 divided the community, than Warhammer has divided it again
>>335012712
they still are on /vg/. People post their campaigns, laugh at shitters, help modders and shitpost about CA employees.
>>335012296
>There's literally no reason they couldn't tone things done to work well within the game.
Yeah, they already did that - it's called Dawn of War.
I mean imagine something like armies travel time, and apply that to a setting that has teleporters, drop pods and Thunderhawks.
When 40k meets Total War you have to start cutting away elements of one or the other to make them fit, and eventually you'll get something unrecognizable.
I'm not saying a 40k 4X wouldn't be fun, but Total War isn't necessarily the series that should be the one to do it.
>>335012262
But mods like the third age are fine though, right?
>>335012790
>Plenty of Rome 2/Attila maps were big
Not realistically, historically cities were much larger, and even the biggest Rome 2 / Attila maps would of been about the size of a small fishing village IRL. The armies the actually sieged them were also 10x larger than the ones in Total War.
>>335012704
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSzaiblZq88
They had an hour to play 2 scenarios and 40 turns in the Vampire Counts campaign. This video is just one example of many.
>>335012792
>they still are on /vg/
>>335012892
Which is fine because this is a game. It is not fun to look at these siege battle videos, and the map is tiny while the backdrop is a massive fuckhueg city. Scale that shit down so we can actually use the map. They think if you lose the walls, you lost the battle so there is no reason to design anything 2 city blocks deep.
>>335012954

>>335012968
That's exactly what has happened in every siege battle they've shown though. The battle is pretty wrapped up once the walls have fallen.

>eventually some turd is going to come in and start asking why this game isn't on console.
>>335013047
There is no other way to play it though, you can't retreat units from nearby the walls because that is the size of the map. Look at Shogun 2's tiered cities, losing the first layer doesn't mean you lost the battle entirely.
The way its designed is just dumb too, why would every army always attack that one side, no matter the way they siege the city? It just makes me want to auto-resolve even more instead of doing boring ass siege battles where your options are limited going in
>>335013151
/twg/ is unrecognizable now after Warhammer fans invaded it.
All the decent people seemed to have left and all that's in their wake is LE ORK MASTURRACE xDD NO FUK U! KILL MAIM BURN! shitposting
>>335013308
because siege battles are always lost when you lose the fucking walls. Shogun 2 settlements were all castles, not cities.
>>335011337
Distant worlds is the gold standard for autism 4X. It literally shits on every other game in the genre in terms of complexity yet manages to provide enough layers of automation that you can still enjoy it if you don't have enough autism to micro manage every single aspect of your huge galactic empire.
>>335013308
>you can't retreat units from nearby the walls because that is the size of the map.
But they've released videos of them doing just that?
>>335013308
Are you honestly implying you sieged from multiple walls against the fucking AI? Stop bullshitting me anon. If anything, the siege changes should have the opposite effect.
>The AI should be more competent.
>There is more room to maneuver.
>Garrisons are gigantic.
>Towers have infinite range
>There is actual incentive to hold the walls instead
Christ, compare that to every other Total War siege offense that is a total snoozefest because you're fighting against a shitty garrison that you can bombard with out them even having a chance to hurt you.
>>335013384
nah, its still recognizable. They are talking about the upcoming game now. Its exactly what happened when that russian TES TW mod was released.
>>335013594
>There is actually incentive to hold the walls instead of forsaking them right off the bat to hide your men in the much more defensible streets.
Accidentally deleted the end of that one.
>>335013768
don't worry, this is what passes for more realistic city battles, even though what Leo Civil UEFS did with his mod was a rougher version of Exactly what the CA design team did with their city layouts.
So, is it coming to PS4K?
For anyone curious with what Leo Civil UEFS did, he basically redid the pathways of the settlements so that the AI could always find the route into the town square easily and directly. Doing that required that he remove several medieval 2 buildings and he replaced them with the third age assets, several of which he built from scratch.
As a result you had those god tier elven large towns in the game with those raised Machaans.
>>335014289
logically. gotta compete against Halo Wars 2 (which offers M and KB support IIRC) somehow.
Is losing a fight even viable in Total War, let alone a siege?
I feel like losing at least one fight in TW is a death sentence and load the save game after I did.
>>335014405
>I feel like losing at least one fight in TW is a death sentence and load the save game after I did.
That sounds incredibly boring.
>>335014389
CA is developing halo wars 2 though.
>>335014405
>he doesn't play on legendary with total war challenge mode
>>335014465
That's why I asked. Have you ever lose a fight in TW? Have you ever been outplayed by AI?
>>335014534
The AI tends to go for more decisive battles now. Cheesing the AI by abusing machine gun towers doesn't really count.
>>335014534
Everyone has, even you as you earlier admitted. It happens. Play the WRE campaign in Attila and you'll be losing a whole lot of battles that are simply unavoidable. It's part of the fun.
That fat girl CA roll out for every video puts me off. It's obvious pandering and just as obviously she knows nothing about gaming but is there just to make inane cooing noises and provide verbal prompts for the game devs.
>>335010729
Fantasy is the only thing that works in total war.
>>335014608
>even you as you earlier admitted.
That's because I'm shit at TW. I wanted to know if the pros lose too.

Then what's the fucking problem? WHF works as a TW game where 40k doesn't, and while a 40k strategy game sounds good, CA isn't going to be the one to do it. So why the hell do you have faggots like

In terms of a wargame yes, because the Warhammer world was designed whole-cloth for fightan whereas Middle Earth's world was mostly elaborated from the framework of a few individuals of interest.

She actually plays Warhammer and is a much better TW player than that fag that losses every battle they pull out for videos.
I think you might have a problem with women, Anon. How's your relationship with your mother?
Warhammer shitposting aside, TW games are my most fun RP-games.
I can RP as any type of ruler I want and do all sorts of stupid crazy shit.
I hope I can go off the rails in TW:WH too.
Time to see if I can't get the Vampirefags to make peace with the Dwarfs!

The problem with TW is the AI is bad so if it actually manages to beat you then you've fucked up bad. It'd be viable if the AI was smarter and scorched earth became a viable tactic.
>>335015517
Butthurt? I'm the one who's getting the game I want. If anyone's butthurt, it's 40k fags.

This thread shows that Warhammer fantasy fanbois are a bunch of completely immature manchildren. But I guess I'm not really surprised seeing as they worship a game that perpetually lives in the shadows of its better older brother.
Good job being a further nail in the gaming industry's coffin. You should all kill yourselves, preferebly en-masse.
>>335016079
>he thinks Age of Sigmar is canon
The new building system in Shogun 2 threw me off. Last game TW game I've played is Rome, where you can build pretty much everything.
How should I manage them?

Does it matter if it's canon or not? WHFB is no longer supported by GW, you can't play it in their stores, it's 40k and Sigmarines only now.
>>335016135
optimize the provinces. If a place has high fertility, you turn it into a breadbasket. If it is close to the frontline, you turn it into a recruiting ground or an arena. If a place has a resource, you tool the province to produce maximum amounts of it and making max money. >>335016112
*tips
>>335016236
Attila turned out to be the best TW game though
>>335006314
I've been perpetually disappointed by CA for their last 4 releases, maybe more. Shogun 2 was somewhat of a step back on track I guess buy still got a lot wrong.

You got to make specialist cities. Ones with good farmland you turn into cashcows, ones with good military bonuses you make specialized training cities, etc. I was the same but really it's very simple once you realize every city doesn't have the potential to do everything anymore.
>>335014684
>girl in any video game position
>WOW WHAT THE FUCK SJW PANDERING STAY AWAY FROM MY GAMES BITCHES
>Still giving money to GW.
Why? Warhammer is a mediocre tabletop game, 40k is an awful tabletop game, they are overpriced, GW are the most asshole company in gaming, they killed fantasy instead of addressing player issues, every race has to wait like a decade for a codex when a new SPEEES MARINE codex or a variant is released annually.
I can't wait for launch day.
I mean, I know it'll be a buggy barely playable mess, but isn't that kinda' part of the charm of these games?
You just fucking know it'll be barely functional, but that'll make it all the sweeter when that first 19 gigabyte day-one patch comes out.
>>335016368
Because the competition is shit
>>335016286
>>335016331
> If it is close to the frontline, you turn it into a recruiting ground or an arena.
But isn't your frontline gonna keep expanding the more you conquer? Is it viable/mandatory to repurpose your cities after that happened?
Am I the only one who doesn't give a single fuck about warhammer lore? TW desperately needed some kind of fantasy setting and it's finally getting it. So instead of arcadey "historically accurate" bullshit there will be new fun gameplay mechanics and races that are actually different from each other, not just by some stats.
>>335016368
>Implying anyone wants to play with your little plastic toys when they can get real entertainment in the form of videogames
LOL
>>335016295
So you're saying we should wait 1yr until they release the next TW:W that isn't broken like with Rome?
>>335016378
They've delayed the game and are going to be releasing review copies weeks before launch, so there is a good chance it'll be in a good state.
>>335016079
Because they were contracted to make it before knowing what was about to happen to the setting?
>>335016368
better than Mantic
KoW is a good system, sure, but the models are terrible
>>335016409
What? Pretty much every tabletop war game out there plays better than GW games. 40k especially is the most tediously slow and archaic tabletop game out there.
>>335016418
>You got to make specialist cities. Ones with good farmland you turn into cashcows, ones with good military bonuses you make specialized training cities, etc. I was the same but really it's very simple once you realize every city doesn't have the potential to do everything anymore.
its your call. Personally I only expand to an extent and just subjugate states beyond the border.
>>335016295
That title is still shared by M:TW and Shogun 2. Atilla was what Rome 2 should have been.
>>335016418
Eventually. I didn't play a lot of Shogun 2 but my strategy when I did was to have two types of recruitment cities. Ones behind the frontline that were tooled towards recruiting a specific type of unit only to elite standards and 'frontline' cities which otherwise weren't good for much else but were capable of pumping out lower-quality troops much closer to where they were needed.
>>335016368
the lore in fantasy is really good, i know its a pretty much a hardcore version of tolkien but its still great
the wood elves are bad ass
>>335016494
Good settings, Age of Sigmar set aside
Model quality is still great, even if other companies are catching up
>>335006314
I was until I found out it was delayed.
Now it releases the same day asOverwatch.
>>335016472

>>335016539

no it isn't
M2 is good because of the extensive modding.
S2 is good because it was CA got their marketing in gear.
>>335016574
Once you are done fapping to tracer, TW will always be there. I doubt that there is an intersection between the two fanbases.
>>335016125
They've discontinued Fantasy in favor of AoS. That's about as canon as it gets.
@335016660

Pissed Pedro and the TW youtubers don't are going to do lets' plays.

Shogun 2 was popular as hell because it added steam workshop support. So you had retards finally capable of using mods and had a shitload of sales.
>>335016472
you mean the reviews by their select circle jerks who will say anything they are told to say and not their own opinion, just the same as pretty much any game these days
>>335016112
>Good job being a further nail in the gaming industry's coffin
Why? 5 butthurt 40k fanboys don't represent popular opinion, no matter how hard they work to ruin any thread on this game

>>335016952
>youtubers who make money off let's play campaigns.

>>335016368
GW are a weird company.
They kill their good games like War of the Ring, Mordheim, Blood Bowl, Epic, but leave their main games completely fucked and tedious to play.
For example, the best way to fix Fantasy would have been implement War of the Rings ruleset, where the phase system means both players are always doing something and nobody is just waiting for the other player to complete their turn through all the phases.
Not that Games Workshop gives a fuck, they survive entirely on milking their true believers and brand recognition.
>>335016927
Steam workshop is still a shitty place to get mods for TW games. Even more so when S2 was released.
Shogun 2 had the best UI, CA finally got the 3D models fighting like normal people, and dat music.
The only downside you could find in S2 was the setting. A limited number of units and the terrain was mostly the same.
>>335016079
>get my mum to return it to the shops

>>335017043
>War of the Ring
this was justified
LOTR was a fantastic system and had support from GW for years, but no one had touched either of its systems for half a decade
>>335017087
Why do you care?
>>335017043
>tfw awaiting a DHL courier to deliver GW goodies to my domicile tomorrow
>>335017061
which is why radious became popular for cutting and pasting his units right?
The workshop was a massive shot in the arm for smaller scale modders, which is why CA outright said that S2 was their most modded game.

>>335017246
Mannfred is just so fucking boring. Vlad and Konrad oozed personality, while Mannfred is just there.
He's pretty shitty too. They have to constantly say that he was the most dangerous of the Von Carsteins, because absolutely nothing in his lore supports that. Fucking Konrad got closer to conquering the Empire than he did, and that guy couldn't even summon a single skeleton and was only ever turned into a vampire because Vlad thought he was funny
>>335017087
