Ummm.... who can translate this?

3rd Expansion chaos gods.

Please do NOT split in 4 factions. That make no sense, cause unmarked lord should decide what Kind of way and which god he follow and not from beginning decide for one.

[agnes69]

How to use PFM can open startpos.esf? To open startpos have prog - EditSF. And I for example there found no "wh_dlc" ...

[agnes69]

There is found. I found via StartPos. Sorry.

[Beregond]

So many Wood Elf sub-factions?
They won't have a place on the map! It seems we will have a mini-campaign with a more focused map, yeah!!

What about blood and gore? I want to decapitate wood elves.

Same here. Atm, I am trying not to play until it has been released, but that's tough lol. CA might want to release it together with the DX12 patch because Blood&Gore always was part of the CPU bottleneck in the DX11 engine because of the additional 'draw-calls' from CPU to GPU generated.

[SHREDDER]

So many Wood Elf sub-factions?
They won't have a place on the map! It seems we will have a mini-campaign with a more focused map, yeah!!

a fraction of an interesting - but it is necessary to justify the sale as a DLC))

PS ты куда с форума пропал?))

[Karnil Vark Khaitan]

Good Spot guys!

*Looks through Dusty Files*

I'm afraid to tell you that this is more than a little out of date!

When we have information on the Trilogy we shall let you know Soon™!
this is from CA_charlotte (I think) on the twf.

What ever they say it is still a good find, and I am happy they are supporting the game for so long.

[axicup]

Ummm.... who can translate this?

Basically, in the process of modding SHREDDER found some suspicious strings in the startpos.esf file with the "wh_dlc" prefix. The list of dlcs uncovered follows.

DLC 3 - Beastmen!

Subfactions

• Redhorn Brayherd
• Khazrak Herd Brayherd
• Skrinderkin Brayherd
• Jagged Horn
• Skrinderkin
• Ripper Horn Brayherd
• Shadowgor Brayherd
• Rredhorn

DLC 5 - Wood Elves!

Subfactions

• Anmyr
• Arranoc
• Argwylon
• Atylwyth
• Cavaroc
• Сythral
• Durthu
• Еorgovann
• Fyr Darric
• Modryn
• Tirsyth
• Talsyn
• Wydrioth

Plus additions to Beastmen and Brettonia.



DLC 8 Tomb Kings!

No info on subfactions.



DLC 10 Skaven!

No info on subfactions.

DLC 13 Chaos Dwarfs!

No info on subfactions


DLC 15 Ogre Kingdoms!

No info on subfactions.


Expansion pack 1

Ulthuan and the New World will be uncovered in the second installment of the trilogy of Total War: WARHAMMER with the following races:

• High Elves
• Dark Elves
• Lizardmen

No info on subfactions.

Expansion pack 2

The third installment of the trilogy will be dedicated to Chaos with 4 factions, one for each God of Chaos. Unique Lords, Chosen, Demons et cetera included.

• Khorne
• Tzeentch
• Nurgle
• Slaanesh

No info on subfactions.

***
An interesting detail - almost all of the old factions will get the "_qb1", "_qb2" suffixes in the future. SHREDDER wonders what it could mean.
***

"As you can see, the DLCs 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 are missing. It probably means that those are some kind of paid and free additions that the developers told us about - lords, heroes, magic, units (for example, Knight Orders of the Empire, Blood Dragons, Flagellants, Squigs and other yummy things).

Besides, some of those DLCS could be the unlocks of Brettonia, Kislev, Tilea and Estalia. Kislev is needed badly, and Tilea and Estalia will become relevant after the 5th or ths 8th DLC - Tomb Kings will walk right through their lands.

The unlocks of those factions could come with any of the faction DLCs - they are already in the game and it is not needed to add the "wh_dlc" prefix.
PS I will risk and assume that DLC 2 is blood, logically!
PSS It is said that this map has been found somewhere in the game files. It correlates well with the information cited above."

"PSS And if you've read this far, here, have some proof of where this can be found. So you would not say that I made this up."

well, it'd be cool to release Bretonnia and Wood Elfs along with a mini-campaign, aaaaand add them to Grand campaign simultaneously.


P.S. на СИЧ времени совсем нет (( работа, семья..Поздравляю с дочкой, кстати!

[axicup]

well, it'd be cool to release Bretonnia and Wood Elfs along with a mini-campaign, aaaaand add them to Grand campaign simultaneously.

I've read a post by CA somewhere saying that there will be mini-campaigns with new races which will simultaneously be added to the grand campaign.

[Påsan]

HA! I was dead on. Suck it.

Elves 2nd game Chaos 3rd game. Just as I've been saying since January.

Wood elves will be the first mini-campaign DLC. Which fits. Bet the are doing one for Tomb Kings as well.

Now we need Kislev. Seriously I'd rather have Kislev than any other DLC race right now. Screw bloody ogres and Evilz Dwarfs I want my Russian Bear Cav.

[zhiphius]

a CA moderator also stated the current info is outdated and things may well have changed.

The datamined info that is, not the dlc wiki info.

IE: consider it old placeholder of alpha consept.

It does give us an indicator of what they have planned, but nothing is set in stone.

However it does solve the "not enough factions for dlc" dilemma :3

I wonder how many new units they'll add to the various factions and how will the campaign progress.

There are arparently working on kislev sombody found their unfished page on the offical wiki

[TheDeaconBosco]

Sounds like the Beastmen will have a mini-campaign of their own, I don't see CA just adding 8 Beastmen herds to the main campaign.

A Tomb Kings campaign might be interesting, but I had the choice, I'd rather see the Skaven face the Dwarves & Greenskins in a struggle for dominion of the entire Underway.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Drat! The Chaos Gods are the third expansion? *sigh*

Well, at least the Tomb Kings aren't too far off!
