First expansion footage was shown off behind closed doors at GDC a few days ago aswell as the official announcement trailer to be shown to the public in a few weekstime:

SPOILER WARNING:
It starts off being inconspicuous you see what appears to be conquistadors hacking their way through jungle. It starts implying its a new historical total war set in the renaissance period with mentions of a new world filled with riches to take back home and cities paved with gold. Then you hear a roar and a fucking dinosaur leaps out of the bushes and tears three guys apart before more start popping out and then the camera pans out to a gorgeous campaign map to show temples amidst the jungle before flashes of ratmen and lizards killing each other and spins northwards over an island continent with large towers and an inland sea and zooms upwards to a cold forested continent with snow and dark architecture on a gorgeous campaign map as the camera fully zooms out you see ships from the east bearing crosses,skulls,ruined sails,ironclad vessels etc heading to the new world and ends with "War is coming to the New World...2017" along with CA,GW and Sega copyright marks.

>>170169240
I've heard some conflicting reports on it, but the way it seems to work is that it actually adds attack rather than weapon damage when facing against large/infantry targets. Which is why those traits on lords giving +8 bonus vs large aren't actually completely worthless, and why Ungrim has a +30 antilarge bonus, which seems small compared to 450 damage but is actually a massive attack buff

I like how the Fog of War model for Crookback Mountain is already ingame despite the Darklands not being available for a long time to come. Pic very related.

For those not knowing what that is. Crookback Mountain is controlled by Clan Rictus and is the Skaven's main stronghold in the Darklands east of the Worlds Edge Mountains. Its their main transit route east so *all* Skaven have to go through Crookback to get into the Darklands as per their Under Empire tunnel network.

Playing Rome 2 DeI, having a town assaulted and hiding 70% of your troops in the total of 8 trees that are on the map and waiting out the timer.

Feels like shit but with the shit imposed on you in the early game, I can't help but do it. I can only afford a single consular army, my emergency defence mercenary army of 5 units just held off the Ligurians at the North West town of Central Italy against an overwhelmingly outnumbering force consisting in large parts of Celtic hoplites and those fucking medium swordsmen that rip Roman garrison units into ribbons, I'm not gonna let the North Eastern town fall after spending literally 55 minutes trying to hold the other one. I'll stop cheesing once I can afford the historical amounts of consular armies.

>>170170149
But anon all paid DLC for the current game is now minor cosmetic DLC as base game DLC development is now finished and only a skeleton DLC team is doing the last remaining bits before the first expansion. It still applies. There is also a new promo similar to Grombrindal in the works and currently encrypted. That's the Old friend most likely.

I don't recall him saying Kislev but smaller factions are/were planned to be added and he was right. Look at the subfactions within the main factions now. No one saw that coming with an extension of the free DLC plan and having sub factions. I should have screencapped. He was right about the wood elves aswell.

Is there a mod that increases the number of available lords and heroes and/or increases the rate at which they cycle?

I'm sick of waiting for characters with good traits for dozens of turns.

He was right up until Wood Elves when CA pushed them back. Funnily enough their DLC tag in the game files still refers to them as DLC05. I'm more interested if DLC07 is still a thing. CA said they're done with the Old World, but SteamDB still lists 2 outstanding DLC entries, one of which is the Old Friend and the other is unknown.

Everything pas that is probably wrong though. Tomb Kings was listed as DLC08 but everything is out the window now.

>>170171509
It makes sense from a practical perspective.

Beastmen are everywhere, meaning you don't have to change the map. They move in hordes, meaning you don't have to design settlements for them, figure out which settlements they can capture, etc.

>>170170820
Did they change the plan?
It was to have it work like a Jigsaw to make a huge map.

I read in a November interview posted on reddit at a local games convention near the CA studio that the team were doing computer magic to make it work and that due to the unexpected success of Warhammer and its DLC's they were increasing their plans with the other two games and the first expansion would be 4 factions instead of the intial 3 planned and a map the same size as the current base game instead of half. They also said their ultimate dream is to have every WHFB unit in the game at some point with most coming from factions and a few as free units,heroes and lords but they doubt that will happen.

I doubt 14 months of work has been changed they've been working on the expansion since late January 2016 the various groups within the fantasy team would hop onto the expansion as soon as they finished their segments of the base game and the DLC team took over since. This has caused people to speculate there's been a delay and thats the real reason they extended the free DLC timeline and post content support. So a release of late 2017 is possible.

And it became one of their top 3 all time DLC's surpassing the vast majority of historical DLC's.
The success of it really gave CA that buzz to keep going with Warhammer and do more with it. They've expanded on everything since. Remember the free DLC? It was 6 planned pieces before launch. Pic related is now(doesn't include the extra addition of chaos and beastmen units). Though outdated with the release of Bretonnia and Isabella. So that'll get updated by CA soon.
>>170171370
True I didn't see anyone else ever say Beastmen will be first up except for him. That's what made him believable after it. I'm going to laugh if we get music and banners as a minor cosmetic pack before the first expansion launches.
At the time didn't Grace say they were internally looking for leakers who were posting things on reddit and imageboards and then he never posted again and she said "the issue was resolved" in another post.

Now I think the "Old friend" is going to be a lord pack for Empire/Greenskins that will include a patch that makes all the vanilla LL's for each faction more appropriately balanced to the DLC LL's.

Your meme isn't true, though.

The entire point of Chorfs is that they have a small, elite force of Chorf warriors backed up by artillery and a metric fuckton of slaves.

Besides if we go by LoA:

Chorf units:
>Sorcerer Prophet
>Castellan
>Daemonsmith
>Infernal Guard
>Infernal Guard (Ranged)
>Infernal Ironsworn
>Magma Cannon
>Deathshrieker Rocket Launcher
>Iron Daemon War Engine
>Dreadquake Mortar
>Hellcannon

Hobgoblin Units
>Khan
>Hobgoblin Cuttthroats
>Hobgoblin Cuttthroats (ranged)
>Hobgoblin Wolf Raiders
>Hobgoblin Wolf Raiders (ranged)

>Other
>K'daai Fireborn
>K'daai Destroyer
>Bull Centaurs
>Bull Centaur Taur'ruk
>Giant

As you can see, more Chorf units than non-chorf units. Also keep in mind that FW's list is deliberately very compact, Infernal Guards can be outfitted to play vastly different roles.

Your meme ends here.

It's called standalone expansion m8.

Most recent example of something similar to this is Dragon Age: Awakening

You can play that game without owning Dragon Age: Origins, but if you do own it then you can import your character from DA:O and their choices, and the game'll change based on them.

So you can sell DLC for the game because it's only an "expansion" in the sense it shares the engine and setting of the last game.

Like if Fallout New Vegas allowed you to play as the Lone Wanderer and changed the backstory and dialogue a bit to accommodate to that

Some ebin snowflake OC mod with a retarded backstory.
The crux of the mod is allowing Dwarfs to hire some of the best Vampire Counts units: Fell Bats, Vargheits, Terrorgheists and BLOOD FUCKING KNIGHTS.

Everyone should play a Dwarf campaign with this mod at least once just to see what true broken-ness feels like. Or at least a few turns, I only managed to last about 3 battles after I got Blood Knights.

I'm considering removing the trebuchets, maybe couple of archers and just getting more cav. Chariots smashed through my knights of the realm with ease and halberdiers soon followed. Overall I was happy with the performance of my infantry this match, they held the line as well as they could against chosen, but their cavalry back up was seriously lacking. Big man Louen would probably fare better, since he can actually hire grail knights and companions.
Also axe throwing marauders can suck my dick, those shits were never close enough to even target them with archers.

I'm getting some weird micro-stutters/hitching in Total Warhammer. Once maybe every minute or so, the game itself, as well as the audio will freeze for a second - and it's effecting all sounds on my PC. So if I have a youtube video playing in the background, the audio gets hitched, and the same if I'm in Mumble.

I've compared by running Attila, same settings, and there's no hitching whatsoever. Anyone know what the problem could be?

As of December 2016:
Historical Team – Unannounced Total War Title
>With production getting fully underway in the new year, pre-production for our next historical major release continues. Also, we have now partnered with our first historical advisor, pre-eminent in his field and already bringing that world-leading expertise to bear on our designs and extensive research so far. Unfortunately there’s nothing more to report this month that wouldn’t give the game away before we’re ready

>It will still be some time before we are able to share anything specific about our next big historical game. The official social media channels, and the world’s press will certainly tell you when there’s more to reveal.

>In related news, we’ve recently been looking at ways in which we might get back to historical content before we release the next major historical Total War, in particular thinking about additional content or standalones for some of our more recent historical titles. Nothing decided yet though.

IT'S YEARS AWAY LADS. Probably after the Warhammer trilogy is done(the main games not once all DLC is done). They have just entered production on the new never been done before historical period. So autumn 2019 release is my guess. They've already spent 12 months in pre production.

Fantasy is the main focus right now so stop bothering with future history titles.

I don't understand how the WH expansions are going to work, will they add on to the existing campaign map so it's one huge map, or will they do it like Empire with Europe/India/America?

>>170179724

prob. like the empire addons

I have 15 CSA dollars in front of me signed by the treasurer in Richmond,Virginia April 17th 1864. Did anything happen on April 17th 1864 for Civil War enthusiast people on this board? I know the CSA issued the dollars as a promise of payment for service rendered.

They belonged to my great grandmother who got them from someone in the family according to my grandmother.
I'm British by the way. Is it strange for me to have 153 year old CSA dollars in the UK that for decades sat in an old purse alongside an unknown batch of Portugese bank notes(the bank has never seen them before when I contacted them and are investigating the batch numbers) from 29th November 1945 for Portuguese Mozambique which is right next to South Africa and a place Nat-Soc escaped to after WW2, I'm sure my family has some really interesting dark history if I go searching for it...

The CSA notes appear to be signed by some bank manager called E Proctor(I think) and I cannot read the treasurer of states signature. I don't know who the two men are on the notes themselves. I assume Confederate leaders. My knowledge of that period is rather small so forgive me.

>>170179724
It better be one huge map. If you separate them you'd just have Naggaroth and the Southern Continent and the Chaos Wastes to the north. Ulthuan is as close to Naggaroth as it is to the Old World, and you have Lizardmen down beyond the Land of the Dead there. Makes sense to do it in 2 DLCs probably, one adds Lizardmen and Tomb Kings (and Skaven and Ogre Kingdoms god dammit) and the other adds High and Dark Elves. I want my fucking Ogres and Lizardmen.

>>170179724
One large map like a jigsaw that can be played at once or seperately independant of each other.

It looks like the Grand Campaigns will be listed as
>Old World(The name for the current campaign as of Bretonnia's release)
>New World
>Darklands and Land of the Dead
>Whole World(for those that want to play with all the expansions and DLC's they currently own)

CA are calling it "computer magic" that the techies have been conjuring to make this reality. I suspect the entire thing will require serious rigs to handle at smooth frames and good quality.

For some reason I've always thought there was too much wasted potential in the WH map, too many fertile areas that are just nothinglands

Also thought Ulthuan, which is by far my favourite continent and the one part I think is done perfectly, was much further to the north. I always thought of Ulthuan as Fantasy Iceland, not Fantasy Bahamas like it is there

Also

>>170180025
No, it doesnt affect any of their stat numbers. The strength of unit with high leadership is that you can do more maneuvers with them and gain a positional advantage without worrying about them routing. If I'm fighting vamps I can send a unit of flaggellents anywhere on the map to tie up loads of zombies and opening the enemy army for flanking attacks or missiles, in constrast I need to keep my spearmen tight with other units near my general.

>>170180409
Doubt it. I remember all the haters pre release of Warhammer praying for it to fail and calling it "Rome 2 all over again" and "Game won't be playable at all for weeks if not months". Their visions of doom failed and they quickly vanished even the childish hate on social media slowly but surely vanished aswell.

I think they(CA and their tech team) know full well how to make this possible and I personally think it will involve a refined version of Empire's "Theatre" system where the maps are all active at once but processed seperately from each other with turns going continent by continent.

Indeed and this gives CA a huge opportunity to make their own settlements and factions with GW approval of course. That's why they said regional occupation may not be in the expansions. The Old World is very developed and protected by huge amounts of lore. The rest apart from areas where main factions are, are essentially an open book.

>Also thought Ulthuan, which is by far my favourite continent and the one part I think is done perfectly, was much further to the north. I always thought of Ulthuan as Fantasy Iceland, not Fantasy Bahamas like it is there
Not-Atlantis sits between Not- North America and Not-Europe. You can see it on the minimap in pic related 8th edition Lustria.

I like your subtlety.

>>170180658
Orcs are shittly represented and don't feel like you're playing orcs at all. Goblins are moderately better.

Bretonnia actually makes you feel like the pleb you are.

>>170180925
They may not need to use theatre systems.
For a start, the new world is unlikely to have as many factions in it as the old world, given that it doesn't make a huge amount of sense to split up the dark elves and high elves overly much (they might do it anyway for gameplay purposes but it shouldn't be anything like the Empire and all the Empire provinces, for example). Turn speeds are a lot faster than they were in Atilla, and presumably they're doing something with DX12 to make it worthwhile.

Witch Hunters are super useful.

>>170181826
>Fantasy Spain, Italy, Germany, Norse (kinda, but retarded), Poles and France exist in WHF
>No Fantasy Switzerland, Hungary, Turks, Africans, Portuguese, Persians or Southeast Asians

the cultures present in WHF are an amalgation of existing cultures. Sylvania is influenced by eastern hungary, Estalians are a mix of all Iberians just like Tilea is a mix of all Italian and west balkan cultures, with the Border Princes being influenced by the Balkans too.

no Race in Warhammer iss a 1:1 import from the real world, there isn't even England, Ulthuan is more like an Atlanto-Japan than England.

>>170182169

I guess it's because these things are always pseudo-medieval which puts vikings closer in tech (on a superficial level), but they're always depicted in such a stupid fucking way it makes me sick.

How do I go about the first few turns in an Orc campaign?

>>170181826

Badlands is literally Anatolia. You even have remnants of an old glorious empire desperately trying to hold off hordes of unwashed barbaric invaders.

no it's not, Albion is a mix of Pre-Norman Britannia with mostly celts mixed in. And even then it's more of an Ireland than England.

The Warhammer world doesn't have exact imports, Kislev is a mix of East Slavics, not only poles.

Which heroes are actually useful for battle?
assassin types like witch hunters and waystalkers rarely seem to do anything for me, even when I make them target heroes and lords. Runesmiths and wizards are the only ones that I see make any noticeable accomplishments

I've not played the game since. Dreading trying to actually fight this battle because I should have upgraded Couronne for a better capital garrison before L'anguille as I didn't know I'd have a Bret NATO protecting my south. I'll have to start the campaign again I think.

Waystalkers are pretty good for killing enemy heroes, they do a lot of damage with upgrades
Witch hunters have accuse and a pretty strong ranged attack, but they're not better than other options

Really, most heroes are useful in one way or another, but it would be nice to get an expanded item system so that you can give heroes great weapons or whatever to make them more versatile

>>170182978
