Aurubin posted:I mean, I would too. Magical Fake China would be fun to see. TW fans always say they want a game set in medeival China, close enough! I expect they'll start adding in the more unknown factions either after the second expansion or the third. At that point they should have enough models from the main factions that smaller and, well, non-GW ones shouldn't be too much work to make. Given how much of a cash cow it seems the game has been so far something like "unknown realms" DLC wouldn't be too big a stretch for them to start on.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if expansion 3 deleted all the content from 1 and 2 and replaced it with STORMCAST ETERNALS(tm) and STEAMHEAD DURADIN(tm)

Aurubin posted:I sincerely doubt they'll include Araby, Cathay, Nippon, Ind, or Khuresh. It'd be awesome if they did, kinda racist caricatures aside, but they'd have to create them out of mostly whole cloth. Heck they couldn't be arsed to do anything for Kislev, Estalia, or Tilea. Giving them funny hats might have been enough even if the rosters were the same as Empire The 3rd expansion will be Demons, Tomb Kings, Ogres, and Chaos Dwarfs. I never said they'd be playable, just that the datamining has those regions being added in DLC along with the major races living in those areas. They'll probably all be generic human factions like Estalia and Tilea and Kislev. Datamining suggests there will only be two expansions - the New World and Daemons. Tomb Kings, for example, were slotted as race 8, which would make them the first DLC after the New World expansion.

Aurubin posted:Don't expand quickly, the Chaos Invasion is tuned to how many settlements you own/sacked/razed. Get Reikland under control, don't make anything more than non-aggression/military access pacts with Empire factions to avoid needless conflict. Build walls on all your small settlements. After that, I usually go after Marienburg or destroy Skarsnik if Karak Norn didn't get lucky. Then wait for some province to get it's butt kicked bad enough to want to confederate; going after the orcs or penning in the Vampires in the meantime. The Wood Elves are assholes who will probably destroy Bretonnia, not much you can do about that besides beat them back in later turns. Green Chaos. Thanks for the tips. I think that was my problem, I expanded too quickly. I also managed to piss off half the map too, somehow, I had dwarves and the elves gunning for me within two turns apart. Not sure how that happened other than the dwaves attacking a trade partner and the elves just being assholes, but whatever. I'll be restarting that campaign anyway. I think it would be a cool addition to the game if they added other cultures to the game. I'd totally be down for playing Shogun 2 in my Warhams.

Tomb Kings, for example, were slotted as race 8, which would make them the first DLC after the New World expansion. If I''m not mistaken the datamining only found the Araby region. Nippon, Ind and Khuresh aren't on the map (and are way too far anyway). There are the geographical features of Araby on the map, like the Bay of Corsairs and the Sorcerer's Islands, so I don't think it would be wild to expect them to have a reduced roster based on their Warmaster army list, similar to Bretonnia on release, or at the very least a reskinned human faction, putting turbans on Empire Spearmen, handgunners, fire mages, etc and calling it a day. They are known for trading with the Lizardmen and having pirates that mess up the southern seas, so they have gameplay value going for them. But of course, all of this could have been said of Kislev too, so I might be completely off the ball. Worst case scenario Araby will all be dead and extended Khemri territory, best case scenario it eventually becomes a fully-featured faction because DLC needs to be sold and there are already eight factions out of the 16 army books ones and CA has recently mentioned each major expansion will feature four release factions, so....   [edit]I'd add that Chaos Dwarfs also lack an army book (just a White Dwarf and Forgeworld lists), but have been expected based on the Datamine.

I feel like Araby as a visually distinct human faction with a barebones roster is a good bet, at this point.

If Kislev didn't get anything unique then I really really doubt they'll do anything for other human subfactions at this point.

2.1GB update size for those who are interested. So my key is redeemed on the site and it's bound to my account, but it won't unlock in DLC. It keeps telling me to restart Warhammer now that the DLC has been acquired and I'm unable to install it directly because it hasn't properly unlocked. I guess this is just pre-loading for the 4PM launch. Plavski fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Feb 27, 2017 |

The patch installed, but it tells you to "restart the game to claim your free DLC", which doesn't do anything at the moment. It will probably unlock a bit later.

That was one of the first things I tried. I checked custom battle and Bretonnia is still limited to the old roster. Trying to start a campaign leads to getting stuck on a button labelled "Claim free DLC".

Has Vlad's starting army always been this lame? It's a ton of bats and 3 varhgeists and the blood knights. I could have sworn he had troops when he was in the main VC faction. I guess Isabella is still unlocking tomorrow, so I'll probably devote today's snow day to bretonnia unless I end up going to work anyway...

Blood Knights are most assuredly not lame as part of a starting army. Yeah, bats are kind of meh but Vargheists are easily my favorite unit for telling artillery to gently caress off and let my skellys have some fun.

Sounds like the best starting lineup for any Vampire. Just raise dead some zombies and you got yourself an army.

OK, I've downloaded the patch, and I can *select* Bretonnia in the "new campaign" bit, but it says "claim free content" and takes me to the DLC page. Am I missing something or has it just not unlocked for the Total War Whatever people?
