Total War: Warhammer 2

[McPhee]

Think I was at war with my own kind more than fighting High elf’s and the other factions.

That's normal for Dark Elves. Bit like The Empire and High Elves; you essentially start in the midst of a civil war.

Is there anypoint in playing after the campaign? Seems most of the places I need to take are hostile environments? So would be very slow progress

Depends. In terms of story, no. But certainly on the higher difficulties late-game can be quite a challenge. If you don't handle diplomacy well (and often even when you think you have), you can suddenly find yourself at war with a couple of superpowers, struggling to fend off seemingly endless stacks of high-tier troops.

Cheers for that post this game is amazing. I havent played a total war game since the very first Shogun and I've started lookin at upgrading my pc. It's a 1700AMD and R9 280 i think which is on it's way out.

I went away and picked up warhammer 1 and the Norse and chaso packs. So many factions now!!

Well started a lizard man campaign,the feral instincts trait is a pain.. although the saurus units are tough as nails.

Hi, quick question on Warhammer in windows and multiple screens. I have 2 Dell 27in 2560 * 1,440 monitors, which I had set up using nvidia controls as a single monitor at 5,120 * 1,440. I would play Warhammer as a single screen spanning both monitors. Im now playing with recording my games and adding soundtrack, so ive had to reset nvidia to show 2 side by side monitors and play Warhammer in windowed 2560 * 1440 mode.
My question is, how do I move this to my second monitor? It worked the first time I did it and defaulted to monitor 2, with all my start menu and desktop icons on monitor 1. Played around, great time then turned off pc. Next day I started pc but Warhammer now defaults to monitor 1 and no matter what I do, selecting windowed game or not, I cant move it to the second monitor. Any ideas please?

Wulfrik is a complete beast.

Doing a Huntsmarhal's Expedition at the moment, co-op with a mate who's playing Vampire Coast.

1 hell of a hard start and I hate the mechanic that spawns a random army if you play too aggressive.

God I just can't seem to get the balance of a stack right.

Have all the top teir units unlocked but it's seems to made the battles harder lol.

Also the empire seems to be spamming multiple stacks of cavalry at me!!

War mammoth doom stack.

Some mods that stop the comp spamming too many of one unit, tabletop caps I think it is.

This. You basically can't lose

What units are the Empire deploying? If it's stacks of Reiksguard or similar, Marauder Horsemen (Axes) will run rings around them. They're faster than heavy cavalry, can fire while moving, have vanguard deployment (allowing you to surround, and break up, the enemy's lines from the off), and their misses are armour piercing. Just be careful of getting in to melee. And stay clear of enemy missile units.

Be careful of Pistoliers though. They're just as fast, with more missile damage, more range, and better melee.

Warhammer total war 2 is back on Steam at £13.59 again, good buy at that price.

Are any of the DLC must haves now they're on sale?

Don't think any are must haves, but the warlock and the prophet gets good reviews and it's only £3 odd.

I have been enjoying it enough to pick up the vampire coast and the tombkings one as well.

My favourites:

Curse of the Vampire Coast
Norsca
The King and The Warlord
The Warden and the Paunch (not discounted)

Never really got on with Tomb Kings, though I know many say it's the best race pack.

I've got all of the DLC bar Call of the Beastmen, The Prophet & The Warlock, The Shadow & The Blade, and The Hunter & The Beast. Now that Prophet is 50% off, I'll pick that up. Haven't played a Skaven campaign since WHII launched.

First Warhammer game. Same for The King & The Warlord.

Think i finally got my Norse stack right. 4 mammoths. Two shrine two war. Also Wulfrig is on his mount but think I prefer him on foot.
