Original schedule (ignoring minor DLC) was: 1. Old World: Empire, VC, Orcs, Dwarfs dlc: Beastmen, WE 2. New World: HE, DE, Lizardmen dlc: Skaven, Tomb Kings 3. Chaos: the four demon gods dlc: Chaos Dwarfs, Ogre Kingdoms Skaven appears to have been moved to the main set of races for TWW2 (they say 4 are now in, and they are teased at end of the trailer) despite not being in the original plan. Their absence from the body of the trailer and the 3-way look/feel of the trailer is probably due to this change. The Tomb Kings map area is supposed to be in the combined campaign, and therefore will appear a few weeks after launch. The faction themself will probably be unplayable (and perhaps not interactable too) at first, and will be unlocked by DLC. Araby, Tilea, Estalia, and/or Kislev might get a proper setup in this iteration too, who knows. | ||

I played through 2 campaigns of the current TW:W, and I'm pretty sure half my time was spent on a loading screen. I upgraded to an SDD specifically because of this game. I wanted one for while, but this game pushed me over the edge. | ||

Still I'm having a blast and I hope to defeat Archaon if he'll take a fight with my triple-stack of armies so that I can reclaim the provinces that I lost and hopefully tech up to Demigryphs again (thinking about just re-making the buildings in a safer province). I can't believe I've only played as one of the races and I have like 40 hours of solid play time and the long campaign objectives are still so far off. What a game. | ||

And the majority of those hours have been spent playing as Empire, whom I think are the most fun to play given their challenging strategic situation and the diversity of their units. My only gripe with the game is that artillery units seem to be badly undertuned. Mortars and Steam Tanks do work, but everything else is just lack luster. Hellblaster volley guns are auto-resolve heroes, but they can't do shit on the actual tactical map. So frustrating. Multiplayer is pretty good too in this one. Definitely the best TW game (WH was exactly what TW needed and vice versa). | ||

Hellblaster volley guns are auto-resolve heroes, but they can't do shit on the actual tactical map. So frustrating. Very much agree on Empire being the most fun in campaign (though I actually prefer WE on unit roster) due to how many enemies they have and how many different strats you can try. Fortress Riekland or blitz and try to hold, losing stuff all the time? Ally Bretonnia or plow through them? When to take on the Vampires? Sally forth and kill Chaos, or wait until they clear the map between you and them? It's all possible and all fun. Played an awesome WE Durthu campaign on VH the other day where I basically completely ignored my start zone and just blitzed the North, took out the Norscans, and was waiting across the Chaos wastes with three full stacks when Archaeon came knocking. Won the game without ever occupying human, dwarf, greenskin or vampire lands that one random Dwarf hold up there. | ||
