Why CA makes better trailers than Relic?
>>
>>52464421
why are they making a sequel instead of an expansion?

didn't anyone learn from fucking blood bowl where every expansion made a brand new game you had to pay full price for that this kills your playerbase?
>>
>>52464485
Same amount of content as the original game.
It basically is an expansion that is also standalone, since
>Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total War™ WARHAMMER II will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign. Merging the landmasses of The Old World plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any owned Race from both titles.

>>
>>52464533
Ah, good, I was worried for a bit there. I couldn't really see how they could expand upon the new world when all races aside from small warbands and explorers were already represented.

I wonder if you'll be able to walk from the old world to the new through the chaos wastes.

So, does this just leave the Tomb Kings and Ogre Kingdoms?

And Chaos Demons.

Those are the last 3 of the 15 that had officially supported armies at the end of WHFB.

Still could put in Chaos Dwarfs, though. Or maybe something like Kislev or make a Dogs of War army. Those 3 have had army books in past editions.
>>
>>52464629
>>52464668
There's going to be a third game. The far east and south will probably be added with Daemons, Ogres and Tomb Kings in that one. And, dare we hope, Chaos Dorfs.
>>
>>52464629
And Daemons, but if the rumours are true they'll be saved for the third game.

From the steam page:
"Merging the landmasses of The Old World plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map" The map is going to end up freaking huge, also if they're including the southlands I imagine that tomb kings will be included as a DLC race for this one, possibly released when the do impliment the single combined map.
>>
>>52464698
Maybe even Cathay? I'd love that, because it's talked about multiple times but it's never had models or been statted.
>>
>>52464698

They've confirmed that both Xpacs will drop with 4 races.
> Empire, Orcs, Vampires, Dwarfs
> DLC Chaos, Beasts, Brets, Wood Elves
> High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizards, Skaven
> Ogres, Tomb Kings, Daemons and Chaos Dwarfs

It's gonna be Dark Crusade all over again and it feels so fucking great.
>>
>>52464719
I wouldn't get my hopes up.
>>
>>52464719
If they do Cathay before giving us a true Total War:China I will burn their studio down.

Total war games are always done right when it comes to expansions, you have nothing to worry about.

Empire, Napoleon, and Fall of the Samurai all generally fall in that general time period/style of war. Especially Fall of the Samurai with its gatling guns and railroad systems.
>>
>>52464668
Dude I'd love a Dog's of War army. Imagine how weird that'd play. It'd be like playing a hoard army, but with a huge focus on diplomacy. Maybe even weird battles were you're fighting other mercs and get bribed to just make it look good instead of actually engaging in a casualty heavy battle.
>>
>>52464421
My only objection here is the Slann growling. I get that things need to be exciting, but I always thought they were supposed to be weirdly placid creatures.
Also, tacti-cool Elves with crossbows is rad.
>>
>>52464719

It would be nice. But everything we know about the far east, Cathay, Nippon, Kingdoms of Ind, could be summed up on a single piece of paper

Although with the huge creative scope they have would be nice if GW told them to "go crazy" and see what they come up with.
>>

Victoria Total War would be sweet.

Option A is introducing the Tsarina or Tsar Boris as Empire characters, and treating it as another province. Similar to how Orcs/Goblins or Dwarfs/Angrund work.
Option B is to get license to go absolutely hogwild with new units and models. War Wagons, Lancers, Ice Wizards and even meme up some Bear Cavalry.
>>
>>52464878
I'd hope that if they ever did Cathay that they would give every unit from early to late-game a larger number of troops than the equivalents from other factions so it's always a large army.
>>
>>52464810
>>52464775
>>52464767
They where scouting Gettysberg recently. My guess is that it's going to Total War: Victoria. Won't be for a few years though.
>>
>>52464927
If I've read their announcements correctly sometime after TW:W2 drops they're going to basically expand the map to be the entire Warhammer World and the factions from games you don't own will basically work like factions from DLC you haven't bought. PC gets them, you can't fight them, just need to fork out dough to be them.

Also if Creative Assembly keeps up their 4 races trend then it's either going to be Kislev or Chaos Dwarfs in the last batch, since they're otherwise out of factions.

In 6th Edition, High Elves had a special rule called 'Intrigue at Court' to represent all the problems their shitty political systems suffer from. Not to mention that their entire history is one long civil war.
Put a Dark Elf raiding host in Ulthuan, give them some of the coastal regions. Regional Princes are fucking arrogant and I can totally see Imrik declaring against Tyrion, for example.

Lizards are harder to fluff.
Just make the 4 Temple Cities into distinct factions. If you go to war against a friendly NPC race, it's your own fucking fault.

It's because DoW3 shit the bed by being faggy MOBA trash in an attempt to get into eSports.

Chaos dwarfs are confirmed in the confirmed legit leak.

While they have said that their plans have changed since the leak. It seems more like their plans have changed in that "they're planning on adding more shit than leak indicates". So Chorfs are still highly likely.

First you'll have to deal with Chaos, Orcs, Beastmen, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elves and Dark Elf Corsairs coming to you at the same time while Middenland refuses to confederate.

Playing Empire in the global campaign will be next level of fucked up.

Wrong. The flame didn't reject him. It wanted him. It was transforming him into the Phoenix King but he was too weak to endure the pain and he doubted if he was truly worthy. He threw himself out of the flame before the process could be completed.

>>52465798
From a lore standpoint I fucking hate those copy pasted Wikipedia historical article rulebooks. I don't play TT so I couldn't give a shit about the rules. But the author was a sjw cuck who completely rewrote what little background we have on those factions because he wanted to "respect the cultures." They don't read like warhammer at all, they just read like bland fantasy versions of real life cultures. Almost no interaction with greenskins, skaven, elves, dwarfs or any non human races. Absolutely lost my shit in the estalia book when they said a Cortez expy BTFO lizardmen because they never experienced guns or knights or steel weapons before.

I don't think Cold Ones are sentient, they're more like horses. Saying that the Cold Ones joined the Dark Elves means all Lizardmen can't be trusted is like making the argument that your enemy uses horses and therefore they're... traitors... or something. It's retarded.

How do we think the factions will play in terms of global mechanics?

> Dark Elves
Winning battles gives you slaves. Slaves are used as 'fuel' for your economy. If you don't keep up the raids, your economy suffers a huge penalty.
> IE- Capture, Raze or Raid a town. Raiding gives you ~5 turns of Slaves. Maintain a positive slave count or global unrest / upkeep increase.

> High Elves
Some shitty balance mechanic, yin/yang thing. Maybe neighbouring Elves are really easy to piss off and start huge diplomatic crises.
Probably reuse the Empire/Woodie title system.

> Lizards
Something about the geomantic web? Taking specific territories in a grid, or reclaiming lost treasures from all across the map?

> Skaven
Population management. Overpopulation in a zone increases recruitment rate, but also unrest. Massive teamkilling sprees are vital to your economy, but weaponizing the hordes is also a viable 'rush' tactic for a few turns.

>>52466215

This doesn't make any sense, as there's units and characters in the game that would have been busy or dead during the End Times. It sounds like they changed their minds somewhere during development, probably realizing they didn't want to paint themselves into any corners.

They'll maybe have a few Empire/Bretonnia/Tilea/Estalia colonies dotted around to give players something different to fight and to act like living advertisements for the first game. Vampire Coast can (but hopefully won't be) ignored. The only thing they can't really dodge is Araby.

I'm not sure you understand, but the lizardmen fued with the tomb kangz quite frequently. One of the short stories in the 5e book is about some skinks hiring an arabian guide to lead them through the deserts to take some of their shit back.

Nah, Dawn of War 3s trailer was fucking amazing, sure all the aesthetic was stolen but the tone of the trailer was great.

Its just that the game looks garbage.
That beeing said, the Warhammer trailer was great and i love all the designs for the lizardmen they made, they actually made the lizardmen look like they do in the art (with the exception of the Carnosaur which looks exactly like the model), as in huge and lean, rather than the frog mouthed crocodiles that are the 6th edition saurus warriors.

I couldnt be happier with the trailer, but its not "Better" than the DoW 3 trailer, they are both great in their own right. DoW 3 stands on its own, this is nice as a tie in. But this game is probably gonna be good while DoW 3 probably isnt...

>Dark Elves
Slaves and raiding makes sense since it's a massively recurrant theme in their fluff. Hopefully they don't end up as expansion-monsters that cab run roughshod over everything with how fast they grow, like the Wood Elves did.

CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS.
Except instead of "pylons" it's maintaining the geomantic network they constantly are trying to maintain. Maybe rebel factions are always skaven?

I like the idea of "inverse Bretonnia" population management; like the higher you population is, the more units you can recruit but if it's over a certain number based on certain settlements and buildings you start to loose public order at a crazy rate.

>>52466512

For sure, but not as easily as early powder weapons.

Especially since it'd be elves taking care of the gear, rather than normal dudes.
>>

I thought we were talking about estalians.

Also, have elves ever used gunpowder on occasion?
What do they think of dakka?
>>
>>52465111
Steam page confirms that each Legendary Lord gets his own Faction.
Its probably gonna work like Bretonia where you get massive penalties if you fight your own race for lizardmen and elves.
>>
while the fact if Malekith was the true Phoenix king was always unknown it is quite old fluff that High Elves cheated by using protective wards when going to the fire.
>>
>>52466416

It's the easy way out, the sensible one even, from a resource investment perspective. How many coder work hours can they really justify on making a bunch of underground cities and stuff that only one race could ever access? I mean, dwarfs and gobbos could, I guess, but that would seriously fuck up the balance of those factions w/r/t the settlement system. Having the Dwarfs claiming all the Skaven warrens to found new holds all throughout the Empire or whatever would hardly be thematic lore wise either.

So why not just integrate them into the already existing tunnels-as-movement system? The upgrade chains for each horde could be various icons and stuff that symbolize how closely that chieftain is tied to each clan or what have you.
>>
>>52466594
>I thought we were talking about estalians.
I was just pointing towards the regimented and orderly armies the lizards actually fought in the fluff without getting their shit kicked in

the bellend just went "they have no guns so it doesn't count"

>have elves ever used gunpowder?
I know in man 'o war they have cannons on their ships, but I'm not sure if any other source of fluff has them using powder weapons.

Elves feel like hipsters, though. Dwarves use gunpowder so I doubt they'll ever touch it.
>>
>>52466677
elves would have much smaller numbers than humans. That would probably tip that in the human's favor.

In Total Warhammer you still gotta unlock the mount options tho, so they couldve just shown him in an earlier stage.
Plus the slann on his palanquin is more iconic.

Also i think having to animate the stegadon just for that shot was part of the reason too. Note how there also are no Kroxigors in the lizardmen army or any cold ones.
All that stuff costs shekels.

Estallia only has the dogs of war roster so probably an empire clone like in the first game.
Vampire coast actually had some unique units from white dwarf but they never had official models, only some kitbashed things from white dwarf.

I think Skaven can take over settlements without taking them over, as in they got a seperate city under another city without the faction actually knowing that, the better your skaven city is the more debuffs the empire city gets. They can do this for any faction of course, save for maybe karaks since they are arleady underground

Gyrocopter aside, there's nothing else really overtly fantastical about the dwarves armies.

what the fuck did you expect.

Its just older dude.
Old empire armies also werent filled to the brim with weird shit.

Same for Tomb Kings, back when i played as in 6E the most fancy thing tomb kings had was the ushtabi and Lizardmen only had half of its dinosaur units.

Not long ago Warhammer was mostly about real world counterpart units with SOME monsters thrown in that usually were some very weird type of unit or the mount for your lord

Its great tho, its also what gave us that huge ass carnosaur kit.
They shouldve just also given us new core models because so many of them were outdated.
but realy you gotta admit those huge centerpiece models did look nice and give a nice idea of just HOW fucked your average joe is in warhammer.
>>
>>52465878
Not to mention that there is literaly two teams workign on historical games, one making a new one and another making new DLC for attila.
They have no reason to cry, in fact, warhammer is trying out new gameplay mechanisms for them.

but no they choose to sperg, even on /v/ these reddit tier tards cannot keep their mouthes shut about this non issue.
>>
>>52469229
>Its great tho, its also what gave us that huge ass carnosaur kit.
the lizardmen releases were top shelf (like, new terradons? new carnosaur? gr8), but stuff like the hurricanum and demigryphs weren't really necessary.

I still don't fucking know why they didn't update the empire knights instead. I'd been waiting for that janky old kit to get replaced for fucking years.

Looks like you are right
https://www.totalwar.com/blog/total-war-warhammer-ii-coming-soon/
>What’s with the Vortex in the announcement trailer?
>The Great Vortex is a vast magical maelstrom that roils above the Isle of The Dead in the centre of Ulthuan, home continent of the High Elves. The Vortex was forged in a past age by a convocation of High Elf mages to drain the Winds of Magic from the world, and blast a huge daemonic invasion back to the Realm of Chaos from whence it came. It is a prominent part of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world, a unique feature on the Total War: WARHAMMER II campaign map, and lies at the heart of the main campaign.

Looks like every race is racing to take advantage of the vortex
>>
>>52467065
Someone a while back had a neat idea for Skaven interacting with enemy settlements from below. Settlements have an 'infiltration' meter that fills up if you have units or agents underneath a city that gives more and more debuffs to it, and when it reaches 100% your army has the option of launching a siege battle where your army tunnels up and deploys inside the walls.
>>
>>52467925

Wow, even GW was referencing Bacha bazi with the Standard Bearer there.

Gross.

>>52469826
thats actually a cool way of combining corruption mechanics with alternate siege mechanics.

Something like that would be cool, tho id still like to actually have two cities

It's not just Afghanistan, it's widespread.

Commonly in Iraq you would hear men say "Women are for babies, boys are for fun."

If you don't have a beard, you are considered fair game in these cultures. It's not gay if you are the one giving though, because homosexuality is punishable by death and only when given to a 'man.'

Real fucked up place.

21:00 starts the presentation.
Contains lizardmen animations, renders for cold ones and concept art for the bastilodon, also concept art for architecture and you can see the campaign map in the background.

On one hand im a bit sad that they didnt make the lizardmen pyramids FUCKHUGE but then i also like that parts of them float.

Saurus animations are absolutley badass and they kept VERY Close to the TT models and it shows, not that this is a bad thing.

I for one prefer the DoW 3 one. I'l a 40k fag but the aesthetic and trailer itself qits well with me. It has a meaning and all, it's not just showcasing units.

I bet they work like wood elves both economically and in settlements. It's perfect if you think about it:
> A couple proper 'cities' + the ability to occupy other race's settlements with shitty encampments/infestations.
>Instead of 'Amber' collect 'Warpstone' to recruit specialised units.
>Which units cost warpstone depends on subfaction, so Moulder gets free Rat Ogres but Pestilens gets free plague monks, etc.

I'd honestly be surprised if CA DIDN'T copy over Welf mechanics for Skaven. That said, they'll probably show up near the end game as a quasi chaos horde if you aren't playing them.
>>
is that high mage teclis on the trailer?
>>
>>52470393
according to the interview you can now conquer any territory with any faction so maybe the wud elf thing isnt the idea for game 2

So the whole thing is about fixing/fucking up the vortex or using it for your own gain right?

Assuming the Skaven are the fourth race and its not a fake out, what races would give a fuck about the magic hurricane to be used for DLC?

I can see the amazons caring, but what about the Tomb Kings for Vampire Coast?

i tend to find that they are actually very close to the Lizardmen models, just less derpy.
but compared to the Dark Elves models that were used as base for the Warhammer online Cold ones and the Mark of Chaos Cold ones these look very bulky and much less Raptor like.
Not neccesarily a bad thing but they very much look like beefy reptile dinosaurs.

Admittedly I REEE'd a bit at that. Their inhuman almond shaped eyes are a nice feature that I used a lot in my tabletop RPs to remind players that the person they're dealing with is 'alien' before a word was spoken.
>>
>>52470711
>just less derpy.
that's mostly what I'm referencing

with the AoS lizardmen book being a lazy cop out, I've kind of given up hope for any new models while they focus on the eleven flavors of elves, dwarves, chaos and sigmarines
>>
>>52470711
Any expansion for Vermintide gets me rock hard, although the end monologue after the White Rat still has me hoping I can Kruber my way through more enemies of the End Times.

>>52470479
Hmmmm while I do like there new look, instead of looking like raptors, them seem like smaller trexs. Might just be me.

>>52470756

i mean we got two dwarven factions already so who knows.
Judging from the latest releases we might just get Lizard marines.

Realy lizards arent so unpopular a factio and right now they are realy strong.
Most new armeis have taken element sfrom other armies and made the entire thing about that (such as: ONLY TREEMEN and ONLY STEAMPUNK and ONLY SLAYERS) so maybe well get a faction exclusiveley focused on Dinosaur riding?
>>
>>52470767
>Expansion
>Vermintide
Set it in Bilbao
Have a Rodollero, a Black Orc hired grunt, a sneaky gobbo crime boss, a Helf mage and a Questing Knight.

I will cum hard right in GW's face

>>52471027
>maybe well get a faction exclusiveley focused on Dinosaur riding?
honestly what I'd really like to see is just a sunblood faction

If it's anything like the orc release, I'd probably get some kroxigor proxies and maybe some super fat cold one riders to convert into scar vet ballistic missiles.

it's the one lingering thread they added in with the new setting, which will probably never amount to anything.
