Total War: WARHAMMER

[Malaes]

It's okay mate. I got fucked by Chaos. I got fucked by Chaos so hard I think a new god was born.

TL;DR. Orks on Hard (feeling more confident).

Have my whole empire secure, Greenskins questline almost won, dwarfs subdued.

Big Chaos baddie and two armies come into my lands. I got six full stacks. 1 guarding my homeland (and unavailable). 2 mixed (i.e. primary) armies. 1 courier army (i.e. random units moving from heartland), and 2 cavalry armies (plan was to mix with primary). Only units I don't have is trolls.

Absolutely destroy the Chaos armies killing all 20+ level heros. Decide to take a little detour to sack some human settlements.


GUESS WHO'S BACK IN 5 TURNS WITH FULL ON RAGE BONER.


Lesson Learned. Ow.

Lightning Strike is your friend vs the chaos doom stacks.

Lightning Strike is OP as fuck though.

I love how magic is somewhat... non-universal in this game.

I just fireballed a routing beastman general (apparently you don't even need to aim it) with a magic weapon I RNGed on and damn did it feel good.

Norsca confirmed pre-order race. Shitters get fucked, Skaven soon.



Thats a chaos mammoth

[jonesbones]

Will this fix the unit selection of Norsca for the Old World? The chariot/troll spam is rage inducing at times.

[Approaching Walrus]

Most likely its going to be like the Bretonnia add on and expand the roster greatly so id hope so

[jonesbones]

Durr I'm retarded i thought this was for the 2nd game, not a DLC for TWWH1.

Free if I pre-order too...

EDIT: I've also realized this will probably drastically split up the Norsca factions. Have 8-10 of them instead of 2. Makes the Chaos campaigns more interesting by default.

[Approaching Walrus]

Norsca will be in both games. Thers norsca settlements in the new world plus vamps orcs and other minor outposts

[Swiss]

No way I'm pre-ordering shit, but if it's received well then I'm happy to dunk £7 to make the Chaos aligned factions and geography a bit less dull

[Alex Caine]

I'll pre-order. After e first game, it's not like I won't get my money's worth and then some out of this.

[Approaching Walrus]

If the quality of all the new factions is like Bretonnia this is an instant purchase just waiting on some lets plays

[Shiodome]

this pre-order comes with a Troll King

obviously going to buy, you'd have to be a silly cunt to not want a troll king.

[Smuggo]

TROLL KING?!?

[Shiodome]

Throgg the troll king is basically a massive troll that gives a leadership buff to monsters. so you can run an all monster army, with new monsters added (mammoth, frost wyrm, ice troll varient, werewolves[skinkin])

also they've included Fimir, which are basically spellcasting man-bear-cyclops. which no-one expected.

[Smuggo]

Sounds glorious.

[Varcaus]

He only buffs trolls.

[Torashuu]

Perfect fit for this forum then.

[BOOLER]

The roster looks really good and looking forward to this a lot. Hopefully it doesnt make them way OP in the campaign

[Shiodome]

warhammer is one of those strategy games where i don't care about balance tbh, i like playing the 'good' races and hanging on by my fingernails against gods rampaging the land. it's when the imbalance is dumb and ruins the narrative that i'm not so keen (e.g wood elves steamrolling the entire map).

i've got such a nostalgia boner for high elves that i can't wait to play the poncey cunt campaign. before i ever owned a console or had played any computer game other than pacman/lemmings/elite i was given some GW high elves by a mate and they're my first and fondest nerd memories :3

I would argue the AI micro managing 15 chariots is way more OP...
