New game announced - Total War: WARHAMMER

[Nelfe]

Finally !

Playing Undead, hope we can have the von Carstein's Vampire Counts as leader of our armies :drool:

[Doma]

Yeah! Problem is that all the games have been pretty bad since Empire. Lets hope this one is good

[Lordreaven]

Will, if Chaos is in the game, and Daemons are a separate faction type, PLEASE have them play like the Huns. And if you are really nice, please have each God as a separate horde ^_^

I love Warhammer, and Attila provides many mechanics that would make Daemons properly represented and a true terror. Also add winds of magic which can act like attrition to them.

Thank you so much!

[Bethencourt]

Not in my top 3 Total War titles I'd like to see, not moddable, Warhammer something I have no real care about... Good luck selling this one to me CA, especially considering only Napoleon was the one game I could play and enjoy unmodded.

Really? I found it boring untill modded. In the Warhammers side, I think like the orks, not because they are pirate like but because they are smiling people, every single picture of them they are smiling. It is a difficult smile, but they do their best.

[Troubleshooter]

They announced a trilogy of games.

This is true, but i meant i was hoping for Bretonnia to be playable in this game, not sequals.

Then again i assumed it would have a dozen factions not just 4. It makes me curious about the level of depth they add to the factions. We shall see.

[Litany of fury]

Don't think factions, think races. In Total War: WARHAMMER you’ll have four races to choose from, Greenskins, The Empire, Dwarfs and Vampire Counts. Each race has a legendary lord character , who is the leader of a faction within your chosen race.

So no chaos then? You dun goofed CA. Chaos and The Empire are two of the biggest factions in Warhammer. Making a warhammer game without Chaos is like making a pie with no crust.

I'd like to see Vampires using razed cities, as Nercopolis to recruit units.. something like Mordheim.

[Megasalexandros]

I was about to rage like hell but seeing Will saying that this is a "parallel project" then i really dont care, for me Warhammer total war just never happened.

Chaos is probably super secret right now. They say they have 24 skeleton animations, Chaos has a few critters that would have their own unique skeleton.

Khorne Blood crushers, Nurgle plague drones, Nurglings, Tzeenchian screamers, Flamers of Tzeentch, Lord of Change (not Obama), Great Unclean one, Blood Thirster, Keeper of secrets, etc.

And that's only the ones that I can think of that wouldn't share one. Well, Lord of Change and Blood Thirster could in theory be merged. And perhaps a few others.

I want Beastmen too!

As this isn’t just a CA game, regretfully there are no plans to support modding for Total War: Warhammer. An Assembly Kit is will be available very shortly for Total War: ATTILA however, and we will continue to support modding for that title and plan to for future historical Total Wars.

-Will CA

Any dates when we can have assembly kit? And do you plan to update assembly kit after it's release for Attila?

[Noif de Bodemloze]

I will pass on this until a historical title comes along...

I will join with you

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

I bet the feathers in the hats of Empire troops will be the wrong species.

[Lord Dakier]

It's funny they announce their next game before the release of the steam workshop and so called expanded modding tools, or did we receive them? I don't know, I tend not to bother coming here anymore it's full of disappointment.

I would prefer Blood Dragons and Necrarchs.

I hope they will add them as well, also reading book now ( Witch Hunter Mathias Thulmann) and reached chapter about Necrarh and Necromancer, I also hope there will be lots of units from current and previous VC army book, especially Varghulfs.

[Ushoron]

Orcs of that period wouldn't ride boars like that.

Priests of Sigmar wouldn't wear robes like that until the reformation.

Do you even do any research CA?

Just making up history like usual!

I highly disagree mate, this game has been announced the week before 9th edition goes on preorder (so claims the rumor mill) so we do not know what time period this is placed in for we know nothing of the time frame after the end times.

[maexim]

After the disappointments of Rome II and Attila, i will surely not precommand this one.

If it is good, maybe i will buy it on steam but with minomum 50% reduction...

[s.rwitt]

Will, I want you to know that I just punched my historically accurate Ancient Greek war dog (which is a Molossus, because I KNOW FOR A FACT YOU AND NO ONE ELSE AT CA KNEW THAT) right in his face because of this announcement. It was out of anger, Will.

-Will CA

Respect to you will for actually responding to my post. Didnt expect a response.

Anyway, I assumed CA would have more control but would use the same development routine that limited campaign map modding in previous titles since Empire. Campaign map modding is what everyone is missing anyway... anyway
what I took from your statement - "No mod support for Warhammer because Sega are a bunch of "... No offense Will.

And whats the ETA on the Britannia DLC for Attila. I cant wait to conquer Britannia as the saxons. But please add more than 140 regions.
