Their twitter hasn't changed from saying it'll release at 4PM GMT. This could just be a preload.

I just learned two things. There's a keybind (default is J) for "about face" (turn 180 degrees), and if you use it on cavalry it makes them pull out of combat, run ~30 yards away, and turn back around ready to charge again.

There's literally a hotkey to cycle charge? How did I miss this in all my time in total war?

this needs way more attention

Because British devs consider hiding mechanics like this a part of the fun/difficulty.

I did some work for Sports Interactive for a few years and the number of mechanics they hide from players - or outright lie about in the in-game tips - is staggering, and 100% intentional.

you're right, it's not a "difficulty in presenting an encyclopedias worth of information to a user without them feeling overwhelmed" issue, it's a nationality one

Do you believe that cultural preferences in game-design don't exist? Japanese games and Polish games and American games all sing from the exact same hymn sheet?

you are saying that all british devs sing from the same hymn sheet.

your experience with the makers of football manager is no basis for a cultural stereotyping about the british design ethos.

i have no idea what you're doing

For other Warhams news, Vermintide 2 just got announced. The sound effects are squelchy, so maybe it's Lizardmen!

I have had an itch to play this game but I just read about Warhammer 2, should I wait for that release?

in no way, the base game is still insanely good. the expansion is just another few continents and will (in a couple months) merge with the base game for one insane-o huge map

play warhams 1 now, it is great and the sequel is horizontal development, not vertical

"The rite cannot be performed: This rite will become available after 30 turn(s)".

CA, get your technical writer some more coffee!

Awh no way! Thanks for the tip.

Also I'm looking to build a new PC that can handle Total Hams 2, what sort of rig do you guys who play on Ultra have?

Just get a 1080 and a modern quad core. You'll be fine
