IT'S HERE after 5 years of me getting on with my life Total Warhammer 3 is the third (and expected last) in the Total War Warhammer series that started back in 2016. immortal empires is out for all tww3 owners - no more buying tww1 and 2 just to play! CHORFS ARE OUT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnk10iRXpkA The Chaos Dwarfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg7DktARIps The Chaos Dwarfs are the meaner, Their campaign revolves around the discovery of a vein down to the underworld where their god Hashut dwells. They are creating a massive drill to tap into this power, and then in true Dwarf fashion Astragoth Ironhand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTqeoqo87kg The head sorceror of the chaos dwarfs. Unlike the regular guys, channeling the dark god Hashut's power casues a slow petrification of the user. Astragoth has done this to the point where they need a powersuit to get around, but can still swing his hammer as good as when he had actual legs Drazhoath the Ashen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5mVXFQvUNE Exiled Commander of the Chorf armies, he has a nice big dragon-bull to ride around on and wants his old seat back Zhatan the Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTI3-gIUzTo Commander of the Tower of Zharr quote:unit roster here eventually The Champions of Chaoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCRTUdarkuM The Warriors of Chaos get god-aligned Champions who are all competing for a big pot of souls in the lost city of Zanbaijin, which they will then offer to their chosen god: Valkia the Bloody (Khorne) Festus the Leechlord (Nurgle) Azazel (Slaanesh - actually an OG daemon unlike the others) Vilitch the Curseling (Tzeentch) This comes alongside the Chaos Warriors Rework, which they've been waiting on since 2015 1.3 is out with vermintide end-game yes-yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQDafMXk_6A Overview of the 2.0 patch in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG9N3xvTQl0 good poo poo posted:Warriors of Chaos rework https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zveFDWkaTYM a preview of patch 1.3 https://www.totalwar.com/blog/developer-diary-a-preview-of-update-1-3/ -there will be at least a panama canal so you can go by sea through lustria (ie get those black arks to the isles at the back) PATCH 1.2 is out fixing things some more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQPVgKZiFEs https://www.totalwar.com/blog/twwh3-update120/ notes in italics posted:The first Regiments of Renown pack, which adds elite troops to the Campaign and Battles among other things the wood elves should not keep on trying to raid Daniel's stuff so much in the campaign and should hang out in the forest more PATCH 1.1 is out to start fixing things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IODeKAX60Bk https://www.totalwar.com/blog/tw-warhammer3-update110/ quote:Numerous crash fixes and performance optimizations op: this includes the alt-tab bug Mandalore's video - as usual with total war releases, expect bugs on day1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJo3R3ANsw What is this series about? Warhammer is a fantasy-based IP made by Games Workshop in the mid-1970s based on a world (vaguely relating to our own geography-wise) that involved people spending stupid amounts of money on Total War is a long-running series of games by Creative Assembly where users take turns to raise and move armies on a strategic map, but the battles are fought in real-time, similar to the aoe 2 intro video from way back. The series has been mostly based in historical scenarios (rome, medieval, shogun-era, gunpowder era, more recently ancient china with 3 kingdoms) but got hold of the warhammer licence in the early 2010s and made this series from 2015 onwards (at the same time gw blew up the setting in their own stores and rebooted it with Age of Sigmar, go figure). What’s the scenario here? The story so far… The Old World - Total War: Warhammer (we let the intern name this game) The first game dealt with ‘the old world’ which was largely europe/middle east/north africa, stopping at the game’s equivalent of the urals. This contained The Empire, the dwarves, the greenskins, the vampire counts, the warriors of chaos, the beastmen, the wood elves, bretonnia, and norsca. This was a crazy time for content, CA were firing on all cylinders and put out a new lore of magic or campaign pack or even an entire faction every few weeks for over a year. The New World - Total War: Warhammer 2 The second game dealt with ‘the new world’ of Ulthuan, Naggarond, Lustria and the Southlands, which was arrogant british elves, evil canadian elves, fundamentalist aztec lizards and the occasional rodent of unusual size. This covered everywhere else between the urals and the international date line to the west. While it had a rocky start, this game eventually overcame most of the teething issues and introduced the vampire coast, the tomb kings, a merged map that let you play with all the old-world locations from tww1, complete reworks for the wood elves and the beastmen, faction reworks for every* old-world faction, so many campaign packs they increased starting positions from 2/3/4 per faction to almost everyone having 6 each, And Much, Much More. A running joke with this game was the amount of dlc that were skaven (rat-men) heavy, as every sub-faction within came with their own unique mechanics on the campaign Side-note about tww2 - former (very former) sa forum member totalbiscuit got inserted into the game as an easter egg in the tomb kings campaign. There’s also a make-a-wish kid’s leader for the elves but he’s still very much alive afaik Back To The Future - Total War: Warhammer 3 The third game concerns the forces of chaos which are trying to destroy the world and were the great antagonists for TWW1. This required more expansion to the far east into Grand Cathay (Old GW got less imaginative as they went further out of their knowledge base in europe, but today’s GW wrote out an entire faction for CA to use in their game) and the Ogre Kingdoms between Cathay and the old world. Additionally, Kislev will be taking on the forces of chaos from the old world. They were originally a placeholder faction that didn’t cooperate with anyone and were usually conquered for faction building bonuses/achievements but now actually have a whole roster. 'back to the future' what? The current timeline is set up 3-2-1. While the world gets smaller between games, the plot advances. The Advisor from the first game is looking younger in the trailers, this is because whatever happens in 3 sets up the distorted vortex in 2 and leads directly to the chaos invasion in 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnIEzBpsfDE Advisor Lore! The Prologue This game comes with a prologue explaining the events of Total Warhammer 3. The Kislevite god Ursun, who normally announces the end of winter via a giant roar, has gone missing for several years and Kislev has sent an expedition to find what happened to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXfSdukveQU full playthrough (with some commentary) from lionheartx10 Your Heroes Chaos The Chaos factions start mostly battling each other out in the chaos wastes (not to be confused with the realm of chaos) in the north-middle of the map, and they are: Kairos Fateweaver (Tzeentch) A two-headed doom chicken, to distinguish from eg Sarthorael the Everwatcher and the Norscan daemons from TWW1. According to the lore, one head sees the future and the other sees the past, leaving it blind to the present. This gets hammered on all game. Can change some of its spells from battle to battle to be more useful during fights N’Kari (Slaanesh) Slaanesh's chosen Keeper of Secrets. N'Kari has historically had a beef with the high elves (by which we mean all of aenarion's heirs took turns kicking its arse), so when immortal empires comes out imagine something happening there Skarbrand (Khorne) A big-arse Bloodthirster. Literally dropkicks his way through all the chaff to victory. getting ambushed is a good thing for this guy Ku'Gath Plaguefather (Nurgle) A chubby fellow from nurgle (seriously being fat is a perk in this game) who is one of the chief disease brewers under nurgle. Daniel the Daemon Prince (Undivided) Daniel is a daemon prince leading the undivided faction. During the course of the campaign the player can earn favour from each of the chaos gods and unlock more and better equipment, which translates as mutations for their body. it works a bit like the lord upgrades in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade (for those old enough to remember) but you can swap out more, additionally you can dedicate to an actual god for the top-tier stuff but you stop getting more goodies from the other 3. Why isn't Be' Lakor here? they're a named character of note in warhammer lore Be'Lakor has a part to play in setting up the events of Total Warhammer 3 rather than being in them, he'll probably show up on-foot at some point tho Cathay Zhao Ming, the Iron Dragon (thanks whoever posted that to me that I misspelt his name) Brother of Miao Ying. Magic is half-and-half Metal and Yang Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon Sister of Zhao Ming. Magic is half-and-half Life and Yin Kislev (rip Dmitry Tzarov from tww1/2, may you feast with Morlocke and the others in the great halls of placeholder lords) Tsarina Kataryn, the Ice Queen Leader of Kislev. Has her own lore of magic that involves mucking about with ice. Also can surf around on ice platforms when she needs to get anywhere fast Kostaltyn, head of the Runs the church in Kislev. Obvious Rasputin stand-in. Does not get along with Kataryn Unit rosters Cathay quote:Yin-Yang, not just some cool image you drew on your schoolbooks alongside the stussy S magic posted:

I understand, fantasy, all that ... But the Slavs are Slavs, and the nomads (Turks, Mongols, Manchus) we have there were numerous wars .... Here, for example, playing for Kislev, I will dissolve LL, rename all the generals to Udegei, Uldir, Bohatdir, Almush, Yapanchy, Yarboly, Sandugach, Saltyn, Aksaltyn, Yapanchy, Tuktashun, Yar Bolu, Ak Aldu, Timerleng , Bolu, Sak Bolu, Yak Bolu, Uk Bula, Yak Tau, Ak Tau, Aktanshi,...

But I'm not a Slav ... and I would like to see Kislev as a Fortress and Outpost against the Forces of Chaos with the Ungols at the head !!! Yes, I'm waiting for Ungol !!! And I don't mind the Slavs ... if, for example, a Lord or a hero of Kislev comes across, for example, with the name Yuri Dolgov. Shouldn't I change it into Ulgych Mongush??? Is it right to unite the Slavs and the Turkic-Mongol ??? Let me admit it is generally disgusting to see Tsar Boris in Kislev! all sorts of Catherines and all kinds of Kostaltuns ... I want to see KHAN Kislev such as Mangur, Mansura, Altyn Maguta, Borta-Bakita. And I perceive Kislev from the point of lore as part of Ungol. GW is that normal??? I don't want to play Slavs...I want to play Turko-Mongol! Why am I "forced" to play as Kislev??? Separate the Slavs from the Turkic-Mongolians ... Kislev infuriates me in the form it is ... I am not against the Slavs! Not in any way!!! BUT I don't want to play as the Slavs... Separate the Gospodar from the Ungol!!!!

I, for one, protest the unrealistic body standards promoted by this game. It is impossible to expect that everyone can simply grow crab arms or learn how to poo poo out adorable/disgusting little scamps all over their enemies' faces. I am writing a sternly worded letter to CA that will undoubtedly fall on deaf ears as they continue to pander to the "being a giant rage machine that solos armies" crowd. Pre-order canceled.

Jarvisi posted:Are ogres coming out early like they did with Norska? Or am I doomed to wait until friday? Not how Norsca pre-order bonus worked. You got them in Warhammer 1, then because of some issues between Warhammer 2 and the first build of Warhammer it took months for Norsca to be available (even as non-player factions) at all in Warhammer 2. Ogres are just a something you unlock for 3 by having pre-ordered (and will probably be sold as a separate DLC after the initial week or whatever the timeframe to get them for free is).

I got WH2 from Fanatical (because they were doing the same sale that they're doing with WH3), and got Norsca without issue. The same is true for WH3 and the Ogres. Just make sure they're a legit place, and you're good. (I highly recommend Fanatical, they haven't given me any issues whatsoever.)
