I mean I guess you should all be commended for dredging dozens of campaigns out of four, arguably five, not particularly dissimilar actions.

Rakthar posted:I wasted 15 minutes of my life to more or less tell CA the same thing in an Arena survey. It just blows my mind, a mix of shattered galaxy + total war gameplay seems like a match made in heaven. But somehow they found the lamest moba / WoT hybrid they could come up, rammed some Total War units in there, removed ammo and stamina and running / walking because lol, and are like "why aren't we making millions Yup agreed, it's really dumbed down compared to normal Total War and the unit variety blows too. I hope it fails horribly and we can get some decent multiplayer support for their normal games. maybe.. just matchmaking and unit limits or something? I dunno

dogstile posted:Rome lets you conquer the barbarians and use their own units against them. Worth it for me! My current campaign is going great. Carthage and I are best buds, the Gauls have been pushed up into Russia, and I control all of Central Europe. I even own Cathago, as they let the Egyptians take it, and I liberated it, and there is no mechanism by which I'd give it back. Good times.

In general Warhammer game news, Dawn of War 2's Last Stand mode is getting a new character as DLC. Free too, if you grab it between certain dates.

New to this, but just wanted to check whether the Shire will be included with the base game, or am I going to have to buy some kind of loving DLC to get Frodo as an available general. Thanks in advance.

There is so much DLC in this game that you have to buy the season pass just to access the store to by more DLC.

Talking about the Shire, the Battlefield for Middle Earth series god drat owned. Sacking the shire as the goblins in the evil campaign in BFME 2 was amazing.  madmac posted:http://i.imgur.com/WcTvcll.jpg Holy poo poo. Bretonnia looks badass.

LOTR has had some pretty solid games, Shadow of Mordor included. You do get some stinkers like that War in the North though.

That's funny, in the lore, the Moot is an actual province of the Empire, with electoral vote (granted by a fatty emperor who liked halfling cuisine too much), but in the starting positions map it appears it would one of the regions of Stirland. With a bit of luck maybe we will be able to recruit some halfling units/mercenaries, but it's probably DLC material.

Stirland has basically never acknowledged the Moot and are still really pissed Ludwig the Fat handed it over because he loved fried butter. Stirland is like the most put upon place. They've got to deal with the hobbits and the vampires both, and they technically own the vampires (they were awarded Sylvannia after the war that killed Vlad) but have a very hard time enforcing their claim for obvious reasons.

War of the Ring was not made by EA, because EA only owned the rights to the New Line Cinema films, whereas the developers of War of the Ring held the book rights. Also, after EA lost NLC's rights, it completely hosed over their Lord of the Rings games and shut down all their servers.

The only good thing about halflings in Warhammer was the only playable unit for ages was the Dog of War unit that a ton of factions could field - thus, no matter what faction you played, the murder of short, fat idiots was always a possibility in your future.
