New Total War game: Warhammer

Not Total Warhammer but still Total War:

This game would rise and fall on strategic layer. Either they would make it detailed simulation of empire managenment, and force each faction to engage by mostly imperfect armies. Or it would be 20 unit stack attacking 20 unit stack as it was in Rome II emperor edition.

Strategy map looks pretty.

You degenerates should know better than to get excited about this shit. Every fucking time, it's the same story, they release a pretty trailer to a tw game and people start getting excited by the pretty graphics, only to pre-order and end up regretting all their hyped up nonsense.

I'm pirating stuff. Because I'm not stupid to pay even half price for that buggy mess it's at release.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

The design has become so shit ,that I can't be bothered to even pirate last vomit that was Attila.

Nice video. Too bad you won't play that, you'll be playing a nasty piece of shit.

 

[Trash]

You'll play that. With a static campaign map, railroaded campaigns with quest chains and lots of triggers. Add to that an engine that simply doesn't do battles well and you'll have a game with the same floaty feel like the last TW's. This is a great IP and setting that's about to be ruined by a company that's way past its glory days and keeps milking the cow for all that its worth. And I'm not even talking about GW.

The company that once brought you stuff like this:

Has partnered with the company that once brought you stuff like this:

But now brings you stuff like this:

What could possibly go wrong? Plus if you pre-order you get the Chaos faction for FREE! FREE!!!

 

[RhodokMasterRaceOfficial]

The hype train crashed, killing everyone onboard, the very second they announced 7-8 months in advance of release that chaos would be a preorder DLC faction

 

[anus_pounder]

Are those the infamous sigmarines I've heard so much aboot?

 

[Trash]

Apparantly. Whatever it is, it really is a stunningly bad piece of art.

 

[Brancaleone]

But now brings you stuff like this:

It looks as if GW asked Blizzard to rip-off once again Warhammer 40,000, then to rip off the resulting rip-off, and then again and again, with the final result of such concatenation of rip-offs being given a Warhammer Fantasy patina.

 

[Dayyālu]

We have a thread on that, if yer curious.

I even tried the rules, and I was not even drunk.

I'm not even getting excited about pirating it, since it's going to be an unplayable pile of garbage, and therefore a waste of time. The DLC move just made me shake my head, that's all.

They released more pictures of the campaign map and a Greenskin campaign gameplay video:

The campaign map will have 52 provinces with 140 regions (Rome 2: 57 provinces). The two sequels will add to this. Sounds huge, maybe even too huge, like Rome 2.

Like im M2TW, there will be a major invasion later in the campaign, again hordes from the steppes, but this time of course the chaos wastes.

They say they want to keep the sandbox style and don't railroad the player too much, even though the factions are very different. Theoretically, you could trade with the Orks as a humies player.

Every faction has two possible leaders, Humans can either pick Karl Franz or Balthasar Gelt. With the latter, you also get to avoid the prologue tutorial campaign.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Kinda liked the map and details in it. Especially cities/strongholds change visually when another faction conquers them.

 

[spectre]

So, once again they showcase unimportant shit that you stop paying attention to 2 hours in.
Still, I give it to them, lots of work and lots of amazing details, shame it's just there to waste processing power for the most part.

Spotted stuff:
(o) Magical items with "groundbreaking" bonuses like +8% to something and +5% to something else. Will we ever get rid of this shit?
(o) The banner mechanics looks interesting (if only because they give an actually substantial bonus, as much as I can see).
(o) Unit cards blur into an indistinguishable mess. Guess they will not learn.
(o) Build mechanics looks same as in Rome 2. Not surprising, but the UI looks a tiny bit more informative.
(o) Good to see there will be a bunch of unique faction mechanics.

Still, not deluding myself that it will be an actually good strategy game.

You cucks will never learn, I'm seeing the reserved optimism creeping in, the expectations slowly building, the clicks of steam wishlists being updated...

Will end badly for many codexers, but after fallout 4, nothing surprises me about codex.

 

[Beowulf]

Bleeh.

It's HoM&M VII map with corridors.

Which is actually good, as the CAI won't blunder that much any more.
In other words, it's a new 3d graphical representation of MTW strategic map :D

Will they make a special underworld map for an introduction of Skaven? Or will the be cityless?

Loren as being in the middle of the map was just terra incognito.

I agree, but I can't help but be hopeful.

Seeing as how traveling underground is now simply an 'army stance' I would highly doubt that. And what a piss poor solution that is. The days of underworlds in strategy games like AOW are long past.
