Playing as Chaos again, mate upgraded to Windows 10 and we lost the last game.

Any tips on how to level up lords?
I've got a pretty decent army, trying to make some more, but they're just getting stomped by everything at the moment.

Purposely getting a lot of rebellions to fight against is easy XP.

Was to be expected, but I'm still really upset that the new dlc is selling for £12.59 and this with 10% off

£12.59!?!?!? For what is basically a glorified unit pack that usually only cost a few quid and even then that is pushing it. I see games workshop are having a big influence here. I will wait until they are hugely reduced tbh.

It comes with a campaign story plus lots of new units.

That may be the case but its definitely not consistent with pricing of previous titles dlc. It will inevitably drop in price so will simply wait.

Devrij · 15 Jul 2016 at 07:45

Yeah I will be waiting for a price reduction on that.

So if you want to play them you cannot actually do so on the primary grand campaign if I read that right? Just a smaller campaign setting for them?

If that's the direction they are taking additional races (let's face it, wood elves will struggle to fit on the current map) I would be hugely disappointed.

Perhaps I just misread though.

bakes0310 · 15 Jul 2016 at 11:37

Yeah you misread, you can definitely play them on the GC.

No1newts · 15 Jul 2016 at 12:48

Ah ok, that's cool.

I don't think it will be a day one purchase for me, I still need to complete VC and Empire campaigns as it is so I'll just stick it out for a price drop.

Looks good, but I just can't justify a third of the price of the game on a single race. Seems something for a Steam sale a couple of years from now.

Game has been data mined and a lot of info has been leaked:

Looking to get into this as I like the Warhammer lore but Ive never played Total War before. I bought the game and played the greenskin tutorial battle but felt that control was getting away from me. Anyone have any tips for a noobie?

Fanatic · 19 Jul 2016 at 22:01

You can pause the game and still look around/give orders. Useful if too much is happening for you to follow. Unless you are on the hardest difficulty I think. Which as a noobie, you probably aren't?

How gpu and cpu demanding is this game?

Compared to Total war Rome 2 for example

It's similar, although it runs better for me than Rome 2 did. In big battles with 4 full armies it can chug a bit even on an overclocked i7 and 980ti. That's with everything at the max settings at 1440p though.

If it runs better than R2 im gd!

Really debating getting this. I have every other total war game to date. Is it definitely worth it?

Was going to wait for it to go on sale but doesn't look like it will.

Do you really have to ask this exact same question? Read the last few pages of thread.

Black Friday/Christmas, as long as most people have the sense not to buy it.

Chill, he might not have much money and is super cautious.
