What's the current best place to preorder TW:W2, based on a cost:not getting my CC stolen ratio.

CDKeys preorder got refunded due to their keys being region locked, wanna get my preload on tonight

Bundlestars is the cheapest I can see.

I remember reading that TWW1 was originally not going to mesh with 2, and that many of the FLCs we have today are the result of the game's rampant success emboldening the publisher and permitting CA to go nuts with TWW2. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it was designed to be played as a giant game and the fact that the joint map is coming out after the game is released, rather than being the main feature, suggests to me that they were envisioned as standalones first.

It was always planned as a trilogy with a giant stitched together map the end goal, at least as early as the initial TWWH1 announcement.

I wish I was good at modding. I want to make a mod that turns the Kroq'gar's hand of the gods into an armor or other item so he could equip it and his spear at the same time.

:confused: but Hand of Gods already goes in the enchanted item slot, not the weapon slot

Yeah I don't know why you keep saying this dude, Hand of the Gods is an enchanted item, so you can use both. You said this before when the game came out and I just believed it and so didn't bother doing the quest battle for it. :argh:

This has been probably asked before but I can't seem to find it . I haven't played the first total war warhammer so if I wanna dive into the franchise , can I just start with 2 or is there a reason to play 1st one too ?

There's plenty of QOL improvements in the second but the first is still great, it really depends on which factions you want to play as TBH. You'll need both for the mega-campaign though.

Game feels so fragmented right now. You've got stuff in one game but not the other, stuff in Vortex but not ME, foundation update coming 'soon', but no norsca, no RoRs, no news on the upcoming FLC, no news on TK. It makes me just not want to play until they've got everything consolidated into ME, but that feels like it's not gonna be until end of Jan/Feb at this point.

madmac posted:

After thinking about it a bit, the thing that aggravates me the most about the Norsca thing isn't just that 8 months is ridiculous and the endless chariot tide is forever blah, but also that they've basically derailed the whole content schedule for Warhammer 2 by screwing up so bad.

What we're looking at now is Tomb Kings in January (4 months after game 2 release) Norsca in May, and then like maybe they'll have time to work on other DLCs/free content sometime in, I dunno...June? July? I'm basing this off CA's own statements on Reddit that they're releasing Tomb Kings because it's already done, but they likely won't be working on anything else until Norsca is done.

9 months after Warhammer 1 we had four races, (Chaos, Beastmen, Wood Elves, Brettonia) 2 lord packs and a bunch of FLC. 9 Months after Warhammer 2, we might have, uh, Mortal Empires, a Race Pack, and the Pre-order bonus.

It's such a huge delay I have to wonder if they'll even be able to put out as much DLC/free content as they originally had planned. Realistically it's either cutting something or delaying Game 3 considerably from their original plan, especially with all the historical games and crap they've got planned for next year.

The historical stuff is done by different teams to warhammer, and they said on reddit that while the DLC schedule has obviously been set back, the amount of stuff they'll be releasing hasn't changed or been reduced. Don't forget we're also getting the new 'experiment' game mode soon and a new Skaven LL in january with the Tomb Kings.

Pretty different, they have the chaff infantry skeletons and big monsters, but they have chariots, archers and artillery too, all of which VC lack.

From the sound of it, they sound similar to Empire (jack of all trades) except undead.

My only concern is that they end up like Wood Elves, who get so isolationist they are pretty much irrelevant to 90% of the other factions. I get that they aren't like Greenskins or Vampire counts or something, but it would be neat to fight them once in a while.

They are isolationist, up until the point you raid one of their tombs and steal some shiny artefact, at which point they will promptly march to the ends of the earth, horribly murder you, curse your entire lineage, and then take the shiny back home.

I would love if they implemented Nagash in the Tomb Kings DLC as some kind of threat/adversary, highly unlikely though.

I think that’s pretty possible tbh, considering they’re gonna be in the vortex campaign first and foremost, but apparently not actual interact with the vortex ritual stuff at all, so they will need a campaign endgame.

Speaking of this, what do we reckon the free DLC in January is likely to be? If it's going to be at all similar to the FLC tracker (now outdated), it'll be a Skaven Legendary Lord, but a Skryre lord seems more likely to come as paid DLC along with extra units for the Complete Skryre Experience. So is a Moulder LL (with start position in Hell Pit on the Mortal Empires map) more likely?

The FLC in January is confirmed to be a a Skaven LL, and confirmed to not be Thanquol.

Pretty pleased with the roster we've seen so far, pleasantly surprised to see Tomb Scorpions, Necrosphinxes, Sepulchral Stalkers and Carrion all in, I thought a few of those would get cut, and the Hierotitan is a big surprise. No sign of bone giants (melee or bow variants) or bow ushabti though which is a shame if they're missing. Still beyond hyped for this.

Coming up with four LLs for Albion sounds like a stretch though... Still, I'm sure CA could come up with something neat for those bog-dwellers. Would be neat if true but I still want Araby.

They're only doing four LLs for campaign packs (i.e the ones that used to have mini campaigns), not for race packs like norsca.
