It's a lot of fun, OP. I meant to bring this sale up in my TW:WH thread from a while back but I guess threads only have three months or so until they're automatically archived? Lame

Shogun II, Rome II and Attila have also done this. I wonder if it's some kind of rating thing?

From what I can tell people are angry about having to pay $60 for several new armies, new campaigns, a new continent, new skirmishes etc instead of paying $20 for each new army or w/e because the PC gaming community is 99% uptight brats

Have they said more about how the grand campaign works? I remember hearing that it basically has less factions+zones, to the point where there's about as many of them as there are in a standard TW:W2 game, which kind of sucks but maybe it makes sense from a hardware standpoint.

They just made a blog post about it today: https://www.totalwar.com/blog/mortal-empires

Basically it's a brand new map that includes both maps, just with continents slightly moved to make it all fit right

Currently the original map has 66 factions over 142 settlements, the combined one will have 117 factions and 295 settlements

It'll also have TW:W2 mechanics, like factions can settle anywhere and dragons get breath attacks

Also Norsca won't be in at launch, but will get patched in later

Awesome
