The campaign intro you can get through the Ritual code looks fantastic. I love that they're doing hand-drawn art for it now, and lots of fun skaven voicework.

I was going to say, if you're not really a Warhammer fan and just play the games cause they're fun Total War games, and you're expecting fairly standard fantasy races, characters and such (so far the most out there thing would be Lizardmen),

imagine your surprise when the glorious steam punk rat men with lightning and giant abominations show up :allears:

Uh... Kupo?

Hellpit Abomination looks loving dope. Doomwheel looks loving dope (I don't think it showed if it gets caught up behind units). Rat ogre looks loving dope. Skaven are loving dope. I want this game and I want to have my dudes kill rats and be killed by rats right fuckin' now.

Best game trailer I ever done seen

It looked like it was just mowing through it's own army, if the cheap guys are as disposable as that article makes them sound then it might just be able to go at full speed through your guys.

Also attention to detail, and bell strikes exactly 13 times in the trailer (lore wise 13 is the Skaven's "holy" number).

Oct 31, 2011
Yeah, that was a nice touch. That's why I was wondering if screaming bells will be a siege weapon for them. Like some sort of suicide bomb for gates or walls.


e: The stream is them playing MP. Nothing good.

im looking at replies on other places and lol, there were people who genuinely thought there was going to be a separate under-empire map

i called that poo poo like a year ago, it's one of those things that sounds cool and lore nerds commit hara kiri over but would be terrible to implement and play

It'll probably be like the Claw of Nagash where it just sort of makes things gnarly in a whole area around it. Might have a couple activated abilities.

If you don't wanna do the ritual thing for the Skaven intro video its already up on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCVtatm20EE
I guess every faction in WH2 will have this style of intro/outro? I can totally get behind that... because they are :perfect:



The wary part of me is concerned for the older factions... no cool intro/outro for them?

i do like how the rat corruption has an in-battle effect of letting you summon more chaff, as opposed to some replenishment/public order thing.

quote:

The Under-Empire

One completely new feature for Total war is how Skaven settle. Their settlements are beneath the ground and allow them to develop huge cities away from the view of any opposition. Known as the Under-Empire, it allows for a huge element of surprise as all Skaven settlements are seen as ruins until an enemy attempts to settle or explore the area.

This stealth development also means that the Skaven can build up huge armies in secret. These armies, being hidden from view, can be used to surprise and overwhelm enemies quickly. Skaven tactics at their finest.

I'm unsure why everyone seems to think it was just going to be Queek and Skrolk. Just because there's two starting points doesn't mean only two Legendary Lord's, unless they made that announcement somewhere. Wouldn't Thanquol be a perfect "floater" Lord anyways in that he doesn't have a specific clan connection?

Because every other faction got two lords only.

^^ Please send feedback to beefstache911@hotmail.com, this is not a joke that 'stache is the real deal. Serious assessments only. ^^

I started my 3rd campaign in this game as the Von Carsteins. In the opening two turns I wasted no time chasing off Manfred who refused to engage and then capturing Drakengard. For some reason Templehof came and killed Manfred while he sieged Drakengard the next turn so I didn't even get to fight him. For this transgression I also smashed Templehof. Owning all of Sylvania I turned East grabbing easy pickings from Stirland and Averland. Then I just sat around for a while just upgrading buildings and clicking next turn until I noticed that Franz himself was sieging Karak Hirn's holdings. It was around this time I unlocked Varghulfs, Terrorgeists and grave guards so I took my upgraded army and trapped Franz in some poo poo town and demolished him, captured the rest of that province, sacked every remaining empire city and then made peace with the Empire forcing them to pay me 2k for the privilege.

It feels real good being the evil vampire bad guy smashing the empire to pieces.
