Total War: Warhammer is coming

[FunkMonk]

SSD is highly recommended for total war games nowadays. Loading times are way faster

Dammit. Knew I should have bought xcom 2 last month.
Might be tempted on this anyway.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah this game is pretty fun.

I got a little burned out after 50 straight battles with the Vampire Counts. Stupid 'I can create a full army again seconds after losing the last one' shit.

Who the fuck are you?

Vampire Counts are weird.

They should be a glass army. Very tough, but knock out the necromancer/vampire and they crumble.
In one battle I managed to get my general behind the fighting to smash the vampire to pieces, excellent I thought, victory...but no. They fought on.

In a later battle I also managed to kill the vampire but the same happened, they continued...for a while. Then all at once they crumbled.
Wonder how long you have to wait between the death of the vampire and the army crumbling

[Lettow77]

 There is no special mechanic to trigger army crumbling on the death of their vampire. They have a leadership stat just like living troops, and take the same leadership penalty to suddenly losing their general. Once the bar swings too far against your force they can mass-crumble, just like a mass route. Since the leadership of lesser undead units is pretty low they can suffer badly to losing their lord, but you can keep their morale up with very undead things like having flanks secure, not being tired, or having the high ground.

Addition of more RAM didn't make much difference.  I need a new rig.

Warhammer 2 announced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXxe897bW-A

Apparently, it will link together with the first game if you have it, so you'll be able to play all the old races in the New World (and new races in the Old World).

[Lettow77]

Initial four races will be High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, and Skaven. There is decent evidence to suggest Tomb Kings will be the first DLC or a preorder bonus faction.

The internet is alive with controversy that Slann have been incorrectly depicted as having navels.

How is high a race?

[Lettow77]

 Race is, as you know, purely a social construct. High Elves are Elves that identify as #Ulthuanborn and feel that Malekith is #NotMyPhoenixKing

So a Warhammer-Americas setting?
