They should make Chaos the pre-order race. Again.

ExParrot posted:what's got me more hyped than warhammer II (and that's pretty drat hyped) is the possibilities for future tw games that can be linked together; imagine being able to play a campaign all the way through from the 17th century and the early colonial period, to the victorian era and the turn of the 19th century in one glorious conquest of blood on a world map. Why would this happen or be more possible than ever before? There's been total war games across different time periods for like the last 20 years and they've never done this. They've had games that combine campaigns before, Total War already did this, I don't see why this would mean CA is going to link across games. I mean they could, but they always could and they've never even tried. I really don't think they want to. Not to mention all the impossible balance issues that'd create... Sorry to rain on your parade  They tend to change the engine from game to game, which would make that rather difficult to pull off.

madmac posted:It's just messy anyway you look at it. Effectively a new playable race for the old world but just a freebie LL if you only have game two. Not to mention all pre-orders are something they have to sell later as a discrete DLC, like with Warriors of Chaos.

Is there a mod to increase the chaos invasion as a longer, more recurring and stronger thing? The ultimate doomsday mod that spawns 40 stacks or whatever at turn 250 is not what im looking for but chaos is beaten way too easily now.

Corrode posted:Has anyone else had the first Empire quest battle bug out on them? I got the little blurb triggering it (the one about Middenland and the secessionists), and then it never appeared - there's no quest marker and it's not in the quest list. It's not a big deal, but it seemed odd. Oh Lord. I had this happen once. It bugs later quests too because you're out of order. Sometimes there's just a stupid trigger you missed.

Yeah there is, theres this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=734714465&searchtext=chaos+invasion Its not updated but it still works. Essentially it delays the invasion for a bit longer, 100 is the general mid invasion and 160 turns is the lategame invasion with all the named dudes. The flipside is that when they DO arrive they arrive in quite a few numbers. Not 40 stacks but in higher stacks dependant on your difficulty setting. At Very Hard the first invasion spawns 8 stacks, the later one with the named LL's spawn 12. It is as said lower on hard and normal so its quite scaleable.

Chaos could use a cheap fodder Cultist unit. Their armies never look right without 'em imo. The lack of demons also adds to that I suppose.

That Vampire Counts dude is Count Noctilus, the main baddie of the Dreadfleet tabletop game and leader of a navy of ships that include the Curse of Zandri mentioned in my prior post, a giant dead Sea Monster crewed by Skaven, a mechanical kraken piloted by Chaos Dwarfs, and a literal ghost ship. Noctilus's personal flagship is a giant ship made of the conglomerates wreckage of smaller ships.

I'm more of a fan of http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=835683630 when it comes to making Chaos an existential threat. On that vein, since the game is winding down, what's the best/goofiest/interesting mod you use? I'd list mine, but I'm lazy atm, maybe later.

If they wanted to be a bit better about naming the game, they could subtitle game 1 The Old world, game 2 The New World and game 3 The End of the World. Course, they already named the main game Total War: Warhammer instead of Total Warhammer so...

Marketing probably told them that if they called it Total War: Warhammer: Subtitle that instantly cuts down the potential pool of people buying the game to the set that bought the first game.

In my experience marketing people really don't get this and think not only is it cool and good to have sub-sub-sub titles but should be done as much as possible to cram as many brands into the title as they can Tom Clancy's©: Rainbow Six™: Siege The Lord of the Rings™: Battle for Middle Earth II©: Rise of the Witch King

I think that they just wanted people to know that this was a full game and worth full game price, as opposed to people thinking it's only an expansion and therefore worth substantially less.

guys do you think auto-resolve in campaign is cheating, the game seems to be ridiculously favorable when you auto-resolve and I've had like the yellow bar fill up 95% of the way when if I actually fight the battle my swordsmen army gets slaughtered by a bunch of trolls or minotaurs

Auto-resolve tends to spread casualties evenly across the entire army, whereas actual battles tend to see a couple of units absolutely ruined, and others completely intact.

auto resolve over-favors chariots and artillery, as well or at least doesn't understand that having an entire army of nothing but cannons is a bad thing

The dwarf repeating cannons are utter bullshit in autoresolve. They'll get 200-400 kills when everyone else gets 40.

So is the map for the second game going to be shaped like a banana since it covers the entire western continent, fantasy sub-saharan Africa but explicitly doesn't cover fantasy Europe/mediterranean?

In terms of landmasses, maybe more an N shape? With the campaign being a race for the Vortex, I wonder perhaps if they paid the factions off as far as immediate antagonists are concerned; Lizardmen vs Skaven, Elf vs Elf. It all depends on what they mean by "Southlands." Everything up to Nehekara? The tip with the Lizardmen city and nothing else? I dunno if GW gave them lease to make poo poo up but I don't recall much written about Soutlands locations outside of that city and Karak Zorn.

Yeah this is what I'm thinking. If you look at the full map of the warhammer fantasy world it's basically just the real world with different names. So if you look at a real map I think it's going to be Eastern half of North America, Central America, and the top of South America, the ocean (which had Ulthuan in it), and West and North Africa. I don't think the southlands will go all the way down to south africa and I'd be surprised if the include the entirety of the new world.
