The combined campaign doesn't come out until weeks after release.

Meaning you can only play the New world campaign at release.

wait what
is this true

>Why won’t the Combined Campaign be available right at launch?
The Vortex campaign, with its dedicated narrative, unique features, mechanics and flavour, is a big project in its own right. The Combined Campaign will be truly vast. Each requires significant playtesting and balancing. This being the most complex Total War campaign we will have released to date, we’d like to plan have a short period of open beta testing just before we release it, this requires WARHAMMER II to be out and for players to be familiar with all the new races and features.

>What’s going on with the mega combined campaign you talked about before?
For owners of both WARHAMMER I and WARHAMMER II, our first content release shortly after launch (free of course) will be a vast, combined campaign map representing the geographical areas of both games in a single map. This will allow you to start epic campaigns as any owned race (including any DLC races you own). This will be shortly after launch, weeks not months, and will be our very first content release.

Did these posts ass-backwards. Orz

Good that they actually playtest it.

>>386577850
How much fucking money is it to buy both 1 and 2 with all the DLC?

>>386580684
There might be Old World Edition added when when II launches.

Atleast they are adding/rebalancing vanilla stuff too. All the new LL traits and skill tree changes seem good. AI Empire starting out without the secessionists seems really good for the game

So, wait. Is this just the same game but with DLC-tier factions added?

Like, have they said if my experience playing Empire/Dorfs on their mainland will be different from WH1?

Play as the Dark Elves finally, they're my favorite race. Raiding, raping, and pillaging in the Combined Campaign Map is going to be my main focus, will settle for constantly invading Ulthuan till it launches.

>never play tribal/uncivilised/destruction based faction in TW
>always preferred to build great Empires or Kingdoms
>never played as hordes or barbarians

I really want to have fun but I get triggered by playing as an "unorganised" nation.

Are Dark Elves just elf barbarians?

Their art of murder is still very advanced.

Warhammer 2 is the New World with new world factions, its visually and gameplay wise extremely similar. It has its own campaign mechanics where all the factions have a victory condition through various means to use the vortex for their own. Similar to TW1, it launches with 4 fleshed out factions but they definitely seem to have alot more work put into them.

Its a trilogy of games so yeah its going to be pretty similar with new stuff.
>DLC-tier
The beastmen were a pretty sure DLC. Its not DLC because adding massive landmasses is big work with all the new battle maps and shit.

Already goodgoyed it up and pre-ordered for that Norsca content. Thematically I like all the factions except Skaven, but maybe they will be fun to play at least. Will probably play my first game as Malekith.

>>386581252
I'm going to be looking up details on the factions because I know fuck all about Warhammer (but I am loving what I'm seeing), are Dark Elves "civilised"?

In the sense that are they castles and cities instead of huts and hordes.

>>386581345
I probably worded that poorly, "DLC-tier" wasn't even meant to be an insult.

Obviously it'll be similar, but honestly I was quite happy with the first game so if I'm getting an upgraded and refiend version of it I'm happy.

>>386581107
They're pretty organized. Essentially they're a group of exiles who build their own nation and form their own way of life in their exile. Than from said nation constantly try and retake their old lands from their hated cousins, with plenty of rape and slavery along the way.

>>386577850
This game is fucking boring, you never get into battles with interesting armies it's always they outnumber you by a fuck ton, or you outnumber them. No small settlements either means no fun attempts at breaking armies that outnumber you like in Attila and Rome

>>386581584
>no small settlements
>mods are literally integrated in to the main steam page for retarded mouth breathers
it's almost like, your retarded.

>>386581348
Yeah they have six main cities, a line of border forts to defend against Chaos, and a large fleet with ships called Black Arks which are essentially floating castles.

>>386581704
>needs mods to be playable
great game!

>>386581107
they're pirates

>>386580956
>best LL coming through

nothing personel kid

>>386581584
I usually get plenty of good battles. You just have to stop being a pussy with your armies.
If anything I prefer it to the old games where 95% of battles took place in castles or settlements and you never got any field battles.

>>386582575
you just described literally every half decent game in the past decade.

>>386582902
i thoroughly enjoyed attila and rome 2 with no mods

>>386577850
>>386577850
I mostly just enjoy looking at the models even if I think that they are more miss then hit
still I just really love the warhammer fantasy so I support anything that takes place in that universe.
but it is probably going to take all three games with all dlc plus several mods before I can really enjoy it

If you could create one Warhammer Game what would it be like
mine would be like mount and blade only with combat like mordhau and a nemesis system like shadow of mordor

>>386583221
ah good to know your shit taste extends beyond one game

>>386581252
Edgy.
