So it seems that Nagash is almost guaranteed, for those who don't know what he is, what should we expect? It doesn't really look like he'd be a new faction, seems more like a mix of tomb kings and vampire counts?

Nagash is the master of Necromancy and it's original creator, in the End Times where he had his own army it was basically a mishmash of every undead faction (except the not represented at the time Vampire Coast). He also had some of his own stuff, and he prefers mindless undead to ones with self-thought, so he might get a bunch of skeleton/ghost additions.

Just expect a giant skeleton with a huge hat that fucks up everything he touches and loses all the time, probably with really strong magic (that he'll gently caress up casting) and typical vampire count minions (who will betray him). His starting location will be right by a toilet so you can immediately start giving him a swirly.

If he starts in his dumb fortress then it should be this :colbert:

The place takes loving ages to get into/out from while taking attrition all the way(Unless you can underway), is only a two-settlement province and if I remember correctly, only have 6 building slots.

He'll probably have a mishmash of Vampire Counts, Vampire Coast, and a limited amount of Tomb Kings stuff(the Tomb Kings outside of Arkhan mostly loving hate him, given that he's the reason that they're all mummies). I'd also expect some new undead.

He himself would likely be a monstrous-sized, earthshatteringly powerful caster lord with Lore of Vampires and possibly some Death, Shadows, or even Dark magic(because he made Necromancy by learning Dark magic and loving around with it, effectively), as well as probably some titanic bonuses to leading various undead units. Magically he should be able to equal or surpass every other caster in the game with few exceptions; he's one of the strongest mortal casters who ever lived even before he became a lich, at which point he was functionally a demigod even before AoS(when he becomes an actual god).

Basically a stronger, but less competent Skeletor.

Well, if I'd pick one to put the moeny towards it'd be Thanquol. Nagash doesn't seem like he'd require as much of a performance as just a guy that sounds a certain way (and effects to further that). Does he have a personality or is he just an evil guy?

Anyway, I think Imrik probably tops out the voice acting in 2 for me.

e: They better record extra lines for the existing Warhammer 1 and 2 characters, including the little pre-battle speeches that are now a thing.

e2: Okay, Settra is also amazing, he's probably up there with Imrik for me.

Nagash is *incredibly* arrogant, so they could probably do some fun stuff with him if they wanted. He's not going to be pulling Skeletor "myaaaaahs" but they could easily go with something like "substantially more evil Settra".

I'll still buy this one. Not-Russia and Not-China seemed cool. I only have TWW1 and not TWW2, though. Maybe I missed out.
If you have game 1 and game 3, you will not able to play HE, DE, Lizardmen, or Skaven, unless you buy a DLC that has a LL for them, in which case you could play that specific LL while being able to recruit basic units and any faction-specific units that came with that LL's DLC. I think you'd be fine to play game 3. Then if you want to play anything from game 2, just watch for it to inevitably go on sale; consider it a big DLC.

I also like how we know Nagash started as a normal-sized dude. So at some point he was like "normal sized skeleton? Nay. Servant, fetch me a giant skull. I shall be a Big Boy."

Ah, so it's not just cavalry units that are affected by some kind of animation bug where they kind of don't move in to attack probably, seems to be a shared thing with lots of units, and might even be related to the flying unit landing to attack bug. Hopefully that's something they manage to fix, and even more hopefully it doesn't take for ever to do so.

A very good and thorough review video IMO highlighing the good points but also calling attention to problems and lackluster elements.

e: Somewhat surprised that the DLC treatment is seemingly already in effect for the Ogre preorder bonus, though intrigued to hear him say in the review that playing the Ogres (appropriately) feels more like running a criminal enterprise than an empire.

CAN I PURCHASE DLC FOR TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER GAMES I OWN ON ONE STORE ON ANOTHER (AND VICE VERSA)?
Currently it’s not possible to track the different Total War: WARHAMMER content you own across different storefronts. So, for example, if you buy Total War: WARHAMMER on the Epic Games Store, you will also need to buy the DLC on the Epic Games Store in order to use it.

The same applies for claiming the free combined map DLC – you would need to own both Total War: WARHAMMER and Total War: WARHAMMER II on the same store in order to claim it.

you'll need all 3 games. I can't think of any time I've heard anything but "all 3 games" for IE.
