Warhammer Total War: Warhammer 2

[tabacila]

Yey for the Beastmen, but part of me still hoped this would have been a game 1 race pack. Dwarfs really need a proper re-work and VC could do with some extra bits. Them adding the Silver pinnacle in the last Mortal Empire map update really had me thinking we were getting VC in the next update. Oh well maybe we'll get a surprise with FLC.

The trailer is mega low energy because it's a trailer for a trailer. CA usually releases DLC trailers 2 weeks before launch. This was probably made for the Skulls whatever event that Games Workshop had since this DLC will launch in almost 6 weeks.

Kinda dumb they didn't just hold Rakarth back for this, Beastmaster vs Beastmen writes itself.
More Lizardmen content isn't really exciting, especially since CA struggles with making skirmisher LL's fun.

 

[tabacila]

Oxyotl would have also worked great as DLC character for WH3 since his whole thing is hunting deamons and stuff.

We still don't know what the preorder race will be, but it seems likely it will be something that is playable in both mortal empires and the wh3 map.

 

[zapotec]

Imho Dogs of War or Araby, i would like to see the latter or maybe not considering the bear fetish of Kislev.

 

[Riddler]

Seems to me that there would be more well known iconic things to pick from for Araby though.

 

[Advent]

Which game would be a good starting point in this series?

 

[zapotec]

"Uninstall a Program" under the "Programs" section.

 

[Fedora Master]

WH2 is fine. The games are just iterations of the same thing, so if you can wait you might as well go with WH3. (Reminder not to buy the DLC but to use CreamAPI)

Wanted to download Pack File Manager, an old habit brought me to Total War Center, damn, is this place deserted now! what happened ? you can almost see tumbleweeds crossing the screen. It's like a sarcophagus with TWC's citizens as the Tomb kings.

Edit : so there's now a new PFM version on top of Daniu's, it's called Rusted PFM, has anyone tested it ? Shall I stick with the original ?

 

[rashiakas]

Yes, use RPFM for your modding.

I've been faffing around with Clan Pestilens, trying to get their "bonus from diseases" going... And it's just not working. I can start some of em, sure, but they never actually spread anywhere.

The real friends are the diseases you contracted along the way.

Yeah they meganerfed diseases a while ago because they were lasting way too long and infecting half the world. Now they're just useless.

 

[Fedora Master]

Gotta love the way the AI handles its lords...

 

[Fedora Master]

Vortex is fucking shit and annoying as fuck. But the final battle is 100% where CA got the idea for those multi-stage fights in Wawa3 from. They're probably gonna suck hard.

 

[Nahel]

Vortex worst part were the spawning armies near your empty cities.

I tried getting around this by placing my armies near where the AI should spawn. The game just spawns them elsewhere. What an incredible fuck you to the player.

Yeah it is a cheap bit of artificial difficulty. Apparently if you place your armies in ambush stance the AI acts as if they aren't there and spawns them closer.

 

[Dwarvophile]

In Markus Wulfhart's campaign they always spawn near the same city even if you have an army hidden nearby. Actually it's the only Vortex campaign I finished.

 

[Fedora Master]

The best Vortex campaigns are the ones that dont involve the Vortex. Tomb Kings, VC, Orks...
CA doesn't understand that though.

What's wrong with that? He has fun with doomwheel.

Red Line is completely wasted.

Yeah, that buffs what, slaves, clanrats and gutter runners? You don't want that for Ikit, you want to buff gunners and artillery to make the most of his lord passive.

 

[Fedora Master]

And clanrats aren't going to be viable even with buffs.
