Total War: Warhammer Megathread - Psy get a fucking PC edition

86 on metacritic for TW Warhammer
Mind you Attila is 80
Shogun 2 is 90 and rightly so

Still wary but looks good so far

Hitler would be proud.

Also Gooots thanks for the link to the medieval mod for Attila. That thing is keeping me occupied until Warhammer comes out, and I think it's probably the best mod I've played for this game.

The campaign should be cool, I'm gonna play as the teutonic order and take back the holy lands.

here's angry joe playing the game

now i know >Angryjoe but i find he is honest in regards to problems with games and his criticisms are usually accurate. he doesn't say much about the games flaws but holy hell is he shit at playing, like he doesn't change stance from horde to encampment, he doesn't research tech, no fucking diplomacy, it's hard to watch more than 10 minutes.

Luciana · May 20, 2016, 06:23:01 AM

Guys watch this. Best TW: Warhammer video I've seen, and I think this convinced me I'm getting it early.

What a fucking hack. When he reviewed Rome 2 after is initial release, he says he LOVES the Total War games, yet he can't seem to play them.

Since he's mainly a bro gamer, he probably just has massive armies form a mosh pit in his battles.

Edit: I'll check out the video when I get back though

He said it was one of his fav series. Loved Shogun 2, hated Rome 2.

Never reviewed Attila.

Nick McIntyre · May 20, 2016, 09:45:45 PM

Ok, the beginning of the video when was choosing which faction to play was cancerous.

"Oh the Chaos have hordes, that sounds just like the Greenskins' way of playing because they too have hordes.

Shut the fuck up Joe.

Also: "Straw poll, who do we play as? Archaeon, Everchosen (SAME. THING.) or Fancy Pants?" No Kholek. Good job Joe.

Okay, fifty minutes in and all we have are polls and Joe wanting to eat 50 chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A. I'm about ready to just fucking quit the video.

I suddenly have the urge to play Rome 2 as Egypt or something.

Maybe Macedon to revive Alexanders greatness? Sparta for the lolcoolfaction?

I can't say much since I mainly play Rome, Antony's Rome, Sparta and the Celts. A lot of the factions don't entirely interest me...

Also guys: Just found a Warhammer mod for Medieval 2 that's dropping tomorrow

Egypt is probably one of my favourite factions to play in Rome II, I think they have easily one of the best starting positions in the game.

They highly recommend having the Kingdoms DLC, that's just about it. Otherwise, it's still a simple download, drag to mod file, rename, play.
