Warhammer Total War Confirmed

Not sure what all the issues about the "Rome mess" are referencing, I purchased it at release and never found anything game breaking enough to prevent me from playing it and enjoying it. Sure patches improved aspects and made it better but not as if I was stopped from playing it to begin with.

I've pre-ordered and I'm looking forward to it. Its a Total War game within the Warhammer universe, I've been hoping for this since Medieval!

Worst case scenario, Steam refund has you covered :)
 
Exactly, Rome also saw many huge patches which put it in good shape. People seem to forget how broken some of the previous total war games were, but they always get fixed shortly after release and i have always found them to be perfectly playable.

Polarising experiences then. On launch I had:
Subterranean Boats
AI that would only attack unguarded settlements, then in the battle just send 1 unit at a time or not at all.
Disappearing campaign map
Really terrible balancing - Almost all battles finished with 2000 kills to 10 deaths
AI having full stack armies of just slingers
Poorly implemented flag capture zones in open battles.
Long turn loading times - just shy of 10 minutes


It's perfectly fine now, but...I'll probably end up preordering it. Attila was fine on launch for me anyway. ;)
 
Any news on how the generals work yet? I hope they've gone back to their roots where generals acquire traits based on the outcomes of battles. I.E If I defeat armies that outnumber me I'll gain the 'good when outnumbered' trait.

If I just get to pick a stupid card only to have them die a few turns later through old age I won't be buying it.
 
I've been wondering how trade and Monet generation etc works, Orks don't trade they fight, Undeas have no need of golf to recruit or hire anyone they just drag them out the ground. Be interesting how they handle these concepts.

I think in a video it showed the Undead characters get spells they can use on the campaign map to quickly raise armies. "Dark Magic" I think was the resource they needed. One of the traits of The Undead it seems is really fast recruitment.
 
I've just picked this up from GMG for £30, inc the Chaos DLC. Redeemable on Steam.
Use code WATCH25.
New Quidco customers can also apparently get £10 back!

£20 all in for the game plus DLC from a trusted retailer seems a great deal to me.
Broke my resolve anyway, pre-ordered it.

Brilliant find! I was going to hold off pre-ordering but at that price, it's hard to say no.
 
I think you would.

Probably take some getting used to the specifics of the TW mechanics but they are good games all said and done.

You could look for shogun 2/Rome 2/Atillia on sale to get a taster in advance maybe.
