Skaven are too unique of a race to even be paid DLC. TW Warhammer is going to be a trilogy, so Skaven will be in the next game
Bretonnia is the free faction/race, I am going to say Dark Elves as the paid DLC.
I'm in two minds about this game.
On the one hand it looks fun.
On the other hand it looks as if there is zero replayabilty once you've played all races.
The only faction I really want is Lizardmen.
>>338641891
So when the three games come up will they work together or something?
>>338642239
I imagine they just reuse all the content from the previous game

Not 20 hours. It's officially released at 8am BST. The boob-girl on the stream said so.

>reddit rats
Who cares..
It's really weird but I can't tell if I'm looking forward to playing this or not. Every other total war I've been bursting a blood vessel waiting for it to release. This one... Not so much... And I fucking love warhammer too.
I just want Kislev. But there won't be Kislev because the Empire would look bad compared to those certified chaos stumpers.

>>338644537
That is a whole ton of shit by CA. I don't understand how Medieval total war 2 can still have the most content (imo) and replay value over all these years and today we have a £40 game with four factions. Unless they literally cram every single unit from WH lore into each faction... I'm gonna feel ripped right the fuck off.
>>338644779
Was this the bitch who was commentating the siege game play a month or so ago? Her forced excitement was the most cringey thing I'd seen for ages.
>>338644983
>most content
>everyone is a human and has the same unit types with a few of them having shit that requires extra work like elephants
They could just do Medieval 3 and just reskin every model like they have always done
Its 4/5 faces, not factions. On the map there is like 40 factions.
>>338643938
I sort of fell the same way, and I might wait awhile to buy it but I'm still pretty excited. I even like FB more than 40k now, maybe it's because they're changing the battle formula so much? Or I guess I'm just a little burnt on TW in general, or I'm still salty at Rome 2's release.
>>338644268
>zero replayability
really subjective, different things are going to happen each campaign which will probably be pretty long, and with 4 really varied races with different play styles are appealing to me. I often find in a lot of TW games I have the most fun with factions that are the least appealing to me like the sand factions in Attila and the Huns because I don't like cav all that much and horde was kind of annoying to manage.
>DLC out the wazoo
Probably eventually, but I was watching some stream from Darren, some guy at CA said they were going to hold off on the DLC awhile because of the negative review bombardment on Attila. Devs take reviews seriously, for example Bethesda paying Obsidian more for an 8 or higher on New Vegas' metacritic or however that went.
>Denuvo
DRM on top of more DRM is pretty fucking gay, I don't care if people are calling it anti-temper or whatever the fuck.
Legitimate question here. I'm a pirate-then-buy fag, and considering how fucked the releases of the last few TW games have been, I think I've earned the right to apply the rule to this game.
It's running on Denuvo though, and you only have one week to get the Chaos faction. What are the chances it'll be cracked before the 1 week is up so I can try and then buy? Don't want to wait like a month, find out it's good, then have to buy the base game + the fucking Chaos faction.
Can you warham total war babbies give me a reason why this game is going to be good? It doesn't look promising with all the stunts they are pulling off so far:
>Buying off streamers left and right by making them work for them and handing them an early release access.
>Day 1 DLC, for the all time biggest faction in the Warhammer universe.

>And here we come to the limitations of this review: I have enjoyed my time with Total War: Warhammer immensely, but the more I play, the more I have a growing sense that it begins to crumble as its scope expands.

The moment you make progress on the campaign map, you draw so much diplomatic aggression from other powers that you are quickly swarmed by enemies that you do not and (thanks to the economy) cannot field the forces to resist.

>>338641664
Skaven don't exist, silly man-thing
>>338645368
Nah you check out Kingdoms etc, you still have variety in how factions worked,looked and fought, starting positions, objectives etc. You could play Scotland and it would feel totally different to playing Spain for instance. Yes unit types were similar but that is history for you. My point is... A choice of four races is shit. You may have 40 factions within the races but how many are playable and how many are simply minor AI roadblocks during the campaign?
I get what you're saying about reskins but atleast the game felt varied. I can see the lack of choice disappointing alot of people in this. Just my opinion though.

None. The game is having a smooth launch though, just like attila.
Just buy the game goy.
Can I replace everything with skinks?
>>338645828
True, but Shogun was one of the least replayable for me. Especially with such poor unit variety. Not that they had a whole lot to work with but still.
>>338645814
We've already established that the rps reviewer was just terrible.
>>338644983
This is honestly the one bit of jewwing I can partially understand.
Aside from Bretonnia, and maybe pirate kingdoms/Kislev, they can't copy/paste factions with a palette swap and a few new units.
Also, it looks like every faction is getting a unique gameplay feature, though I image the Tomb Kings will play pretty heavily like Vampires.
>>338644779
She was so fucking salty about getting referred to as "the girl" in the Vampire stream, shit was funny.
>>338644537
>Seperating all the factions like that instead of just expanding everything in the one game
That sounds terrible
Is any one particular army more reliant on magic than the others/which has the most powerful magic

>>338645931
>>338641664
>a dollar and change
cant fucking wait
>>338646648
I don't think they can afford to spend all that time making 16 or over totally unique factions before getting a payout.
You guys should be glad thaat you get whole factions by buying the game. If this was done in true GW fashion you would have to pay for every unit in every faction separately and that is after buying the faction unlocking "codex" that contains army lists.

>>338647161
This ain't 40k, 40k is shit designed to pander to Americans and their gun obsession. Fantasy was always the better universe
>>338646437
I agree to an extent and understand what you're saying. My only concern is that it could give devs, namely CA the green light to make this type of thing the new standard.
If the Factions have huge rosters... Great. If the factions have the same size rosters as standard TW factions then that's a slippery slope for the future. They aren't some tiny indy company off kick-starter after all.
>>338647053
At least there isn't Elves
>>338647103
oh wow 5 races.
>>338647053
Bretonnia
>>338647313
Someone isn't gonna enjoy the next game then...
>>338646794
Though judging by their Future Content Blog, races can come in seperate DLC packs, so we might get Skaven and Lizards and what not, but maybe just the race with a few campaign missions, not "fully playable" in the base campaign.
>>338647053
There's 5 playable races
Bretonnia are on the map as opponents, as are minor tribes like Kislev who are all unique from each other
>>338646794
There's a happy medium between 4 and 16. Say...8.
>>338647414
Bretonnia is playable in custom battles, and are confirmed to be free DLC to fully flesh them out like the other factions

JESUS CHRIST
As a side note, has anyone noticed that every warhammer streamer is complete shit at the game? Whats up with that? Are they just jew shills and jews are bad at video games?
>>338647612
Except there's a big difference, over half of the factions in 40k are Imperium when you count in the variety of Spess Muhreens and Imp Guard.
Empire is just Empire, that's it. The other 14 main factions are all their own.
>>338645814
>Small wonder that nothing is ever gained or lost in the Old World: no territory can fund the forces needed to protect it, so each expansion is a brief boom before an inevitable collapse.

This is every TW game you fucking idiot. It's like that on purpose to create a challenge because you're supposed to be constantly losing and gaining territory, and downsizing your armies during times of peace and upsizing when you're at war with lots of factions. Sounds like someone isn't building any economy buildings either and is also expanding too fast.
>What keeps me from wholly falling in love with Total Warhammer is my growing sense that it works because Creative Assembly ripped-out most of the strategic guts out of the game and left a facade in their place.
At this point this is basically conjecture since hardly any people have played it yet. And if he does explain why he "feels" like that in the video, I'm not sifting through it to find out.
>>338647827
>>338647531

>>338645814
I don't agree with the economy stuff. I did at first but after watching Heir play through his Dwarfs and Vamp Counts, I don't see any problem with money. He has only two full provinces in both campaigns and could easily furnish two full lower-mid tier armies if he wasn't a fucking jew.
I don't like the lack of selection in the buildings. But clearly reviews missed how the building tiers work.

Warhammer world is set in the 40k universe, it is a world caught in a warp storm so it's impossible for the outside galaxy to interfere.
>>338649154
There has been ton of unofficial footage out for days now. It looks like a solid release. It got some balancing issues though(for mp).
When should you auto resolve battles?
>>338650442
When you have a 10-1 advantage
>>338650442
Whenever you will win anyway and don't care about losses
>>338650370
That's old, retconned lore
>>338650008
It's just another of the gods.
The Fantasy lore doesn't go deeply into the origin of the gods, the "history" of the Warhamer world begins when ancient ayy lmaos colonize the place and create the modern races. They travelled using the warp and had big warp gates in the poles of the planet. The first mention of chaos in the setting is when these gates fall apart and Demon armies come through them. After that follows a long war in which chaos probably took its actual shape with demons mirroring mortal fears.
>>338650442
Don't autoresolve if you have a monster unit with low hp. It will die.
>tfw you pre-ordered the game and you have no idea how to play it
Only got it because they mention you can use magic in the trailer...might have been a waste of money
>>338650723
Retconned when? Age of Sigmar? You say one thing is outdated then provide no source.
>>338650442
When you're in a situation where all logic says you should win handily, but your troops being retarded or the AI being a cheating fuck causes you to take heavy losses.
>>338650442
>>338650509
>>338650675
>>338650840
Pretty much these. Though even if your big units are at max HP always expect them to die. Might be different in TW:WH but previous games I've played I always expect heavy large and cavalry units to be crippled after one less than 80% in my favor.
>>338645814
>The moment you make progress on the campaign map, you draw so much diplomatic aggression from other powers that you are quickly swarmed by enemies
Why do people always point to this as a deal break? Balance of power alliances are literally 101 of geopolitics, especially in warhammer where the big evil often forces alliances.
>>338646779
>>a dollar and change
>cant fucking wait
Look at it, it's clearly a Jewish rat so what did you expect?
>>338651009
Don't worry, the newer total wars are actually tailored to retard casuals like yourself. You'll be fine.
It was a waste of money though, yes.
>>338645714
If past Denuvo games are anything to go by - then you won't get to play the game for 3+ months after release, if ever.
>>338651108
>Though even if your big units are at max HP always expect them to die
They don't but they do take a lot of damage, hence >>338650840
>>338650442
When you don't have big units because the game ALWAYS fucks those over. DECISIVE VICTORY: lose all big/expensive units anyways and not the shit tier units
>>338651108
Haven't played Warhammer TW but I've played almost all of the others in the series. Never trust auto-resolving. I think the AI just blobs your units
>>338651324
Read the rest of my statement.
>>338651478
That's what I'm saying.
>>338651478
>he thinks the autoresolve causes the game to create a simulated ai battles

>>338652261
redpill me on the kangs - wuz we them?
>>338651983
Nope, most of it have been retconned away.
Stuff like chaos space marines getting warped to the chaos wastes, fighting until they ran out of ammo and died.
Skaven accidentally starting a call with Eldar through a lizardmen device.
Theorized that the warhammer world is a feudal planet somewhere in the 40k galaxy etc.
Oh, and that the lizardmen are the old ones from the 40k prehistoric lore.

>Nehekharans were a dark-skinned people, as you would expect, with a pantheon of animal-headed gods and goddesses, as you would expect, had a massive fetish for triangles in architecture, as you would expect, who used gold in everything they did and believed that it belonged to the divine royalty, as you would expect, and were absolutely fascinated by death, which you may have predicted. For many, MANY years the Nehekharans waged wars on each other, built small empires that didn't last long outside their own lifespan, and were entombed in great monuments. During the collapse of the Warp Gates and the ensuing invasions by Chaos, Nehekhara was left completely untouched due to the MASSIVE and almost impossible to traverse mountains that circled most of the subcontinent. What didn't stop however is the flow of magic through the world, in particular the Wind of Death which empowered the priesthood of the Nehekharan pantheon to suddenly be able to produce actual miracles.
After all dying, they were resurrected by a fuck off powerful necromancer and that really, really pissed them off.
I'm a bit worried because every official stream have had foliage and ground textures off or very low when streaming.

>The most drastic effect of the spell was the effect it had on the dead; those killed by the spell immediately stood back up, bewildered at their new state. Desert winds stripped the dead flesh from the Nehekharans, leaving only bleached and animated bones remaining. As they returned to their homes they found that the kings of old, now called Tomb Kings, had awoken as well as those Nehekharans who had been entombed in their great tomb cities over the centuries. The commoners were content to reenact their living ways by maintaining the buildings, and shifting from buying, harvesting, and selling food to buying, crafting, "harvesting", and selling rocks and bones shaped like food. This however was not enough for the Tomb Kings. As hundreds upon thousands of generations in the same family line awoke, they immediately came into conflict with one another. For example, great great great great grandpa was enraged at how everyone had forgotten his name and accomplishments, great great great grandpa was shocked that his own son had taken his tomb and shoved the old man's body in a slave's casket in the entrance, great great grandpa demanded explanation for why his son had signed a peace treaty with the king who killed him in a war rather than avenge his father, grandpa revealed his son was a bastard that washed up on shore because his own sister/wife had miscarried every babby, dad died at the age of 14 after conceiving a child and demanded a prom be thrown in his honor, son had changed the main faith of the kingdom to another god and pissed off everyone else in the line, and grandson had failed to stop Nagash. Every single one of them wants to be in charge, and sit in the throne that every single one of them sat at during their reign, and every single one has a big enough and infinitely respawning army of skeletons to use to demand they get their way.

>Nehekharans were a dark-skinned people
>During the collapse of the Warp Gates and the ensuing invasions by Chaos, Nehekhara was left completely untouched due to the MASSIVE and almost impossible to traverse mountains that circled most of the subcontinent. What didn't stop however is the flow of magic through the world, in particular the Wind of Death which empowered the priesthood of the Nehekharan pantheon to suddenly be able to produce actual miracles.
During the great catastrophe mankind was still cavemen levels, nehekara started getting relevant only 5 millennia before the setting's present.

>After Settra reestablished the Tomb Kings, he set his sights on eliminating the threat of Nagash as the first Lich was just as undying as the Tomb Kings, and would return in time. Arkhan became a Tomb King mercenary, working for anyone and everyone (even once creating a giant magical bridge for a Tomb King to ride chariots to other lands on) while not-so secretly working on Nagash's resurrection. Khatep wanders the world, looking for a way to give the Tomb Kings solid gold cocks again. Khalida attempts to wipe out all Vampires, everywhere because fuck Vampires and fuck Neferata. Many Tomb Kings and their architects awoke to find their temples desecrated and/or looted, sometimes even by non-Nehekharans! Oftentimes Dwarfs or Warriors of Chaos were to blame, and any Tomb King worth anything will slaughter a genocidal path through the descendants of the thieving fucks while retrieving every single last fleck of gold dust. Other Tomb Kings have taken to enjoying their respawning nature to hunt greenskins or even Daemons like animals for sport. Beyond that even, some wish to emulate what they had in life and will trade or raid other parts of the world to gather anything from real food to slaves for unnecessary harems to fine silks to weave the emblems that otherwise only exist within their own memory on.
Tomb Kings have absolutely no consistent alignment. Some destroy the living out of envy, others like Khalida work willingly with the living, still others like Settra give no fucks as long as you're their underling. Even on the tabletop, the Tomb Kings army is completely Neutral and can work with any other faction.
Depends on the Kang.

WHFB and 40k share a multiverse.
The WHFB world is a reflection of the 40k universe crammed into one world.
The Warp/Realm of Chaos is connected to both, hence the Chaos Gods and their demons can cross over and affect both.

I've preordered but I'll refund if it doesn't run well on my machine.
I play at 720p because i'm using a laptop abroad and its managed to run DS3+Fo4 at near max settings with 60fps.
With shit like bloom and dof turned off because they looked shite.

Here's to hoping they can pull it off. Been craving some purging for the Emps.
>>338658693
He was talking about Dawn of War 3, not TW Warhammer
I dunno whether to get this or not.
I like Total War. I like Warhammer. I can afford it no problem.
But, is it really worth it? I can't be fucked watching a fuckload of streams so I'd prefer if some of you fags can tell me if it looks fun.
Is it true that the only factions are
>Empire
>Chaos
>Orcs
>Dorfs
>Vamps
That would suck.
Also running a 980 on an i53570k which I'm not sure I trust for a launch CA game
>>338658440
I love the "Long War" thing Chaos has going on, with the marines that were alive during the Great Crusade pitying what became of the Imperium. I do wish they weren't so over the top evil though.
>>338659321
Apparently its more optimised than total war 2 and attila are RIGHT NOW.
At least according to the guys given it before release.
>>338659321
I also feel like its too little content for the price. I know, the 5 races ALL LOOK DIFFERENT and it probably cost them a lot of money... But in the end, it does not matter to me, the consumer, how much time you spent designing unique troops.In the end its only 5 factions
>>338659734
And at the end of the day, all the other total war games only had five factions. Sure, you had ten barbarians with recolors and one unqiue unit, then three romans with the same rosters, three easten armies with the same rosters and then two hellenic. Hell, Shogun 2 had the exact same faction with the same unit rosters across the board, pretty much the same for Empire and Napoleon too. At least in Warhammer there's actual variety between factions.
>>338659734
Its not money cost its dev-time.
The previous total wars basically just had to reskin the same set of guys over and over.
Each faction plays the same aside from minor changes, with unique units like elephants for some.
In Warhammer, Every single unit is different, with a different set of animations, and very different aesthetic.
And as such; the factions are far more different than ever before in a TW game.
I've never played an rts but man this game looks sweet
if overwatch didn't come out literally right now I'd definitely buy this and play it.
Though from what I understand the game's getting alot of free dlc and shit right? so it's prob better to wait
>>338659734
from what I understand, in past total war games the factions were all pretty much the same
in this each faction looks like it plays pretty differently plus has alot of unique shit per faction
>>338659321
Those are the only playable factions, the rest are AI-only and don't have fleshed out units.
>>338639657
>tfw didn't fall for pre-order meme
Maybe I will buy it in a few months when the game will be partially fixed.
>>338659734
I don't think it matters. In Rome 2, anyone in Europe except Rome and Sparta/Athens have the exact same roster of units. Exactly the fucking same, and Sparta/Athens/Epirus were DLC.
If there was like 10 factions in Europe, they all had the same shit so it was basically 1 faction reskinned. Just a different starting location, which any modder could do themselves for TWW if you want different starting spots.
>>338659734
And Mark of Chaos only had 2 playable factions, what's your point faggot?
>>338660860
game seems pretty polished man, you watch any of the streams going on over the past two days?
or are you just shitposting
WHERE MY TOMB KINGS AT
>>338660860
>literally better optimized than Atilla
>streamers with like 30+ hours and no crashes
>>338661090
There were four.
>>338660652
That's a bit shit. Isn't there some weird system that stops you painting much of the map too? I should probably look this all up.
>>338659734
I'd prefer more factions, but honestly even in the form of reskins like in Rome or something. It feels a bit shit to just have "EMPIRE" or "ORCS" when I could have various groups under such a title. I dunno.
You're right, guys. Not enough factions
Where are Purple Guys with Swords, Blue Guys with Swords, Green Guys with Swords, Red Guys with Swords and Pants, and Yellow Guys with Spears? All these factions were so unique and special and cool and different.
Unlike this shit. Five? That's less than bigger numbers. And I don't like that.
(Most people outgrow this developmental stage.)
>>338647691
>Tomb kings= Vampire
They really don't.
Tomb kings have vastly different magic, lack the ability to spawn new units, have decent ranged weaponry, etc etc etc

>>338661313
Regional occupation, Empire and Vamp counts can only occupy each other's regions. Dwarves and Greenskins the same
There is a mod coming out with the launch that removes this.
That doesn't mean the other factions will leave you alone, they can still sack and raze your shit.
>>338661578
wtf is that shit???
>>338661090
>2
CA is that you?
>>338661090
Mark of Chaos sucked ass, and there were 4 factions
>>338659734
I'm happy with the genuine variety we've got, but I'd love to see subfactions with different start positions, lords and missions.
>>338639657
>tfw this is the first time denuvos actually cucked me
Cant buy it, cant pirate it. Guess ill just watch it.
>>338661854
It wouldn't make sense for Empire to give a shit about taking Greenskin lands over, and Dwarves to move out of the mountains. Again, a mod is removing it day0
>>338661578
That sounds annoying but I guess it makes some sort of sense given the genre; why would Empire want some shitty settlements they don't even need/have use for and so on
Still. It'd be nice.
>>338654856
Settra, in the end, ended up being the true hero of Warhammer.
>Literally offered whatever he wants by Chaos, true immortality, godhood, you name it
>tells them to fuck off, puts killing Nagash on hold to go kill the gods for even daring to offer him such a thing
>Charges into battle as the world ends, soloing Bloodthirsters
>>338645714
Chances of it being cracked are slim, none for week 1. Chaos isn't only week one, youll just have to buy it after. You can get the game for at least 20% off on gmg, cheaper on the shadier sites. There's no real excuse for "try before buy" now that refunds are a thing. You already have hours worth of 3rd party streams to judge, add to that the several hours you have to play to decide if yoi dont lile it.
>WER MAH TOMB KANGS
>WER MAH LIZZIES!!
>A faction of old-school and out-of-wack necromancers who are completely out-showned by their Vamp cousins who have been around for millenniums to improve their necromancy and summon the undead at a whim, unlike Tombfags who can only summon loyal Tomb King loyalists.
>A faction of xenophobic lizards who practically play no fucking role in the Warhammer fantasy world because they decided to isolate themselves from the rest of the action, and decided to stay there until shit hit the fan when the end times come along.
These faggots need to fuck off. What is with this constant bitching for some of the most milquetoast factions in the entire fucking Warhammer universe.
