I'm enjoying Warhammer. It's cool that they really went out of their way to give each faction a different playstyle.

It's my favorite total war game, personally. Check out the stainless steel mod.

Orcs are fairly tough to manage... I don't think you're actually meant to control a lot of territory with them.

My only beef with TW: Warhammer so far is how most of the early game for humans and orcs always consists almost entirely of fighting other human/orc factions, respectively.

I've never played or read anything involving the a Warhammer fantasy setting before this and I think it's kind of neat, so I looked it up and apparently Games Workshop destroyed that entire universe and threw out all the lore and stuff last year so they could have an excuse to remove most of the factions and make a bad dumbed down reboot, and the only reason TW and Vermintide didn't get scrapped is because they were so late in development.

and find out a minute later that they've been written out of the game entirely... Hopefully they'll be DLC in TW

I used to play Med 2 a lot trying to work out why I wasn't really enjoying it. i never liked the battles but i kept thinking i should be enjoying it for the strategic layer, then i got older and wiser and realised i was looking for crusader kings 2 the whole time.

I did have some fun w Shogun 2 thogh

Games workshop was really unhappy they couldn't trademark "dwarves" or "elves" so they rebooted their game so they could rebrand them as "duardin" and "aelfs"

From what I understand Games Workshop is super litigious and their legal team is like the Nazgul
