Sea Guard looks very interesting. Oh, you managed to get a cavalry charge on my exposed archers? Enjoy their antilarge melee

He also has that Vermin Bravery skill that aoe pushes back all enemies and gives him a run speed buff.

I haven't really played these games since like. . . the wood elves came out?

But this seems like a good time to dive back into a campaign.

Advice / tips for Skaven? Or are we still working that out?

The name "Warhammer 2" is really misleading imo. It's much like Napleon, Attila, and Fall of Samurai. It's a fake sequel. Really it's an expansion in every sense that an old school gamer would understand the term, albeit it's a big expansion.

anyone have a link to a youtube being good at this or tw:w and explaining why they do x y or z. I'm really, really bad at both this and tw:w and want to be better.

In WH1 I think they were also a bit inconsistent about having AP damage but that seems more common in 2 so when Mortal Empires rolls around they may bring the older armies in line with that standard.

Vampire Coast is actually pretty different from regular Vampires, hordes of zombies with pistols, rifles, deck guns, a gigantic cannon, bloated exploding Zombies, Zombie sea monsters, ect. They're basically a shooty army leveraging sheer volume of fire over accuracy. Also I'd say they're pretty much confirmed considering Luthor Harken isn't the faction leader currently.

Really, knowing how CA does things from the first game, they love using their random schlubs as placeholders for DLC. The nobody leading Vampire Coast right now isn't even Harkon's first mate, so that's suspicious. Averlorn being led by some random douche likewise. Itza is a 10 slot province, so one of the Lizardmen characters is going to be starting there.

Amazons OTOH, I don't have much hope for. There's not a single in game reference to them in game that I can remember seeing, and their island in Lustria isn't in the game either. They could show up as part of Dogs of War but anything else seems unlikely at this point.

I was thinking about this. The way I see it, Total Warhammer 2 is the fourth game based on the Rome 2 model, it's getting on a bit now. If the next historical TW mixes up the fundamentals again and comes out out before Warhammer 3, maybe those changes will carry through, not just to WH3 but also its Grand Campaign. That might be worth buying even if the main races are a bit meh.

Probably far too much work to make WH3 more than an massive expansion and still compatible with the old games though.

Also lol at the Ham Sandwich bomb out of nowhere, he's real good at this.

Still think game three will be chaos in the old world: the videogame. Which I think CA can do well, but it'd be a challenge to get it right and get it to sell.

The Cheshire Cat posted:

For Mortal Empires, will I need to have WH1 installed or do I just need to have it purchased on Steam? I've been looking to free up some room on my HD and it seems silly to keep WH1 around once it's been more or less integrated into WH2.

Is playing dwarf/empire/vamps/etc. in ME going to be basically the same thing as doing a campaign with them in WH1? I know there's some stuff that won't be in ME right away but let's not worry about that for the moment.

Yeah it kinda sucks, I was gonna play 'Durthu stomps Ulthuan' but I guess I'll wait and play Dorfs or something first.

Warhammer is fun and over the top. Dune is ponderous, tedious and far too serious.

I would not play the hell out of it! Bring back our Warhams!

This. The biggest hurdle with Araby is the fact that any of their units get called “Arabian Whatevers” and the only guy in the fiction that could be turned into a LL is an evil sorcerer named Jaffar. Just nab a few city names from one of the RPG books and throw a dart to pick which one would be the playable faction (Ilashik works), then ignore the blatant orientalist stuff from the fluff and portray them as normal middle-eastern dudes with flying carpets that fight mummies on Tuesdays and French Crusaders on Thursdays.

All the concern over cultural sensitivity and offense is making me think back to C&C Generals and the shitstorm it would cause if it were released today.

...Digital Combat Sim: A-10 WAAAUUUGHHHHHH.

A fully detailed A-10 Cockpit and flight model, at the start of a mission if you take too long to get the plane started a bunch of greenskins come and you have to beat them away with a VR Warhammer without trashing your dials.

why not? Would Mortal Empires 2 or whatever comes out during Warhammer 3 not include the WH2 races?

JBP posted:

There is so much suspect old GW stuff around. On the other hand old 40k was pretty cool given that it leant heavily into 2000AD style funny criticisms of fascism and poo poo until it turned into a dead eyed space borne white power fantasy.

I still like fantasy and 40k though :V

With your chariots, do you actually click on enemy units to attack or do you click on the ground where you want them to end up?
