>Alongside the Call of the Beastmen Campaign Pack, another free content update will introduce a brand new Lore of Magic and an accompanying Hero unit for The Empire. Perhaps the most rarely seen of all Wizards, the solitary Amber Wizards are no less powerful than their more prevalent counterparts. Wielding the deadly Lore of Beasts they are able to perform unique feats of magical power, from enchanting their allies with impenetrable pelts to summoning a manticore from the bowels of the earth.

I actually forgot that Beastmen even had rules for their own army. Who the fuck even plays them? Anyone? Might as well add fucking Ogres, at least they have cool units, adding Beastmen is like adding nothing at all.
>>
>>344919574
well if we assume each expansion is $60 and include 3 races, that's probably 2 more campaign packs at $8 and 1 race pack at let's say $5 for the remaining races, that's $201 for everything if you already had Chaos and not counting Lord Packs

3 full price games

More like $40 on sale three years from now, which is exactly when I'll feel like putting up with this bullshit.

Tomb Kings will definitely need a new area for the campaign map.

Wood Elves could be another paid DLC race, you can already see where they will start on the current map.
>>
>>344921838
More then that

People already datamined kislev faction dlc so all the minor factions are probably gonna be in
So
Main races
Kislev
Tilea
Estalia
Araby
Arkhan might get his own Tomb King Variant
Gold Coast vampires
Gold Coast humans
Bad Moon Goblins
etcetera
>>
>>344922542
I was just thinking about the 16 major races

most minor factions will probably just be race packs at a lower price point than campaign packs
>>
>>344920346
It's on sale via Humble, Steam, or another site almost every other week.

This will most likely be $15 since it's a campaign pack and not just a race pack

Chaos Warriors is a campaign pack, though

>>344922542
To be fair Kislev is semi-relevant and has a fair bit of fans.
>>
>>344922736
>>344922542
Minor races will be palette swapped and maybe have a unique lord, like Bear Mount Legendary Lord for Kislev for that one crazy bastard.

I just want the option for those unique starting positions.

Wasn't Warcraft game originally going to be 40k involving the Imperium, Eldar and Tyranids but GW became faggots and revoked the license last second? Then Blizzard split both apart, re-worked it and made fucking Warcraft and Starcraft. What a fucking travesty because a 40k early MMO made by Blizzard would have been fucking legend.
>>
Do Beastmen have ranged unit or are they like the VC?
>>
>>344924368
FLC coinciding with DLC appears to be the way that they're doing it
Also, Bretonnia also needs both the lore and beasts and lore of life before it is ready for the grand campaign anyway
>>
>>344924949
Only real ranged they have are the Cygors.
>>
>>344924791
Both were made for fightin' but I gotta give it to the Orc. They're much stronger than the average beast man.
>>
>>344925012
does that mean Wood Elves before Bretonnia
>>
>>344924949
Not really.

>Horde type like Chaos, very little ranged capabilities
I don't know how fun they will be to PLAY but I like them visually.
>>
>>344924949
They basically have marauder horsemen who are centaurs instead of horsemen
That giant from the trailer was carrying a rock he's their artillery
Their low tier infantry can also use bows

Tabletop all of that except the cygor is trash but if being beastmen gives bonus movespeed Ungor Skirmishers are gonna be bullshit
>>
>>344925106
Possibly
Bretonnia is a good hook for people to remain interested in the game, so they might save it for a while.
>>
>>344915129
I'd say Skaven, man-thing
>>
>>344925106
Maybe, but I feel with Bretonnia half finished they can just finish them off.

Wood Elves require new everything. I hope their cities are visually interesting.
>>
>>344914765
I WANT ELVES
ELVES WHEN

GIVE ME ELVES
>>
>>344925368
This is just speculation but I feel like Wood Elves won't have normal cities, but something like a megacity in Athel Loren that spreads its influence through other provinces slowly, and grows that way.
>>
>>344925515
Maybe Wood Elves before Bretonnia at the end of the year

Definitely High Elves and Dark Elves in one of the expansions
>>
>>344925515
According to the leaks, which have been 100% accurate thus far, Wood Elfs are next on the chopping block for campaign dlc.
>>
>>344925534

I hope so
>>
>>344925909
Beastmen are DLC03 and Wood Elves are DLC05, so with the 1 DLC/Patch a month schedule, they will likely come out at the end of September.

Unknown. Probably something small that they can finish quickly so they have as much time to work on Wood Elves as possible.
>>
>>344920069
Just out of curiosity anon, would you have preferred then to release the game instead of this year, 3 years from now with all 16 races? And how much would you be willing to pay?

Or would you prefer 4 races and never get any dlc?

How many races do you think is necessary for the 60$ price tag?
>>
>>344926378
Hopefully its Wurrzag and a mini expansion to the Greenskins roster to make getting Savage orcs easier and to have Orc Shamans lead armies
>>
>>344926818
>not Skarsnik and squigs
>>
I'm a little disappointed with how their going to drip feed expacs and races out because it only provides me with incentive to not really play the game now so I don't get burned out on it by the time the races I'm really looking forward to are finally released. As it stands there really isn't enough content or complexity in the campaign to sustain interest in the game before even the year is out. The only way I see myself buying the dlc is if each expansion releases another continent so that the map is similar to Empire TW where you can transition between them.
>>
>>344927193

There's going to be 2 more games/standalone expansions, which will most likely add the missing parts of the map from the right and left side respectively. So, the first one will probably have something like Skaven/Ogre Kingdoms/Tomb Kings/something like Chaos Dwarfs or Daemons of Chaos, the second one will get Lizardmen/Dark elves/High elves/Daemons of chaos if they're not in the second expansion. This is speculation but that seems likely given how everything has gone so far. The biggest question is whether they will do the factions that never had a proper army book like Kislev and Estalia/Tilea.

>release total war game with 4+1 factions

That's Sega for you.
>>
>>344928718
Other than blood, what is the issue? If you don't want more content in your game, then don't buy it. They are even generous enough that they still give you the factions to fight against in the campaign regardless.
>>
>>344928718
At least I'm hoping they don`t start jacking the prices over 10 bucks for these DLCs.

Faction. Warriors of Chaos was the only faction cut to encourage preorders.

>having the least factions of any total war game to date
Shogun 2 had only one, so you're wrong right off the bat.

>fucking over your fans is being generous
Giving your more stuff for free, when they are under no obligation to, is being generous. Nobody is being fucked over, you melodramatic twat.
>>
>>344929323

You're a fucking mongo if you can't fathom why it's unfeasible to launch with even half the races finished. It would take a shit ton of time and money to bring them all up to standard.

And on that note the 5 races the game launched with are more diverse and interesting than most factions in other TW games. TW Attila and Rome had around 20 factions each but how many of them were just reskins of barbarians? What about Shogun where every faction was the same?
>>
>>344924917
Warcraft was going to be about Warhammer Fantasy but they were changing stuff that GW was uncomfortable with so they pulled the license and Blizz had to rework it a bit. Starcraft is mostly 40k but there is still some originality in there and hell, tyranids received a major redesign after the zerg came out and emulated them more.
>>
>>344929696
I think it would be cool heh as well, but it's going to be very low priority compared to all the other factions that have yet to come out
It's a chance to do stuff that GW never bothered doing which would be interesting, at least
