![How to Play The Golden Order [Total War: Warhammer II]](/img/n.gif)
The Best Christmas Present you can give me is a FAT OLD LIKE on this video! I never ask for em I swear, anyways hope you have a great holiday break!
How is your Christmas Eve going?
@@SmashingSnow Was working on this, now just playing Anno - waiting until girlfriend gets up for work to say hi, then going bed!
@@RepublicOfPlay Sounds very productive. My mom hosted a pajama party with gingerbread houses to make in which mine and my brothers didn't turn out to well. We also had games with candy bag prizes for my siblings and cousins.
I'm kinda tired and read that as FAT OLD DUDE, i was kinda confused.
your game plays so smooth what is your rig ? if u got time and see my message plz tell me :) great content thanks :D
P.S. i love TWwarhammer i don't mind the price tags too much even if warhammer 3 will hit with all its DLCs i will have everything cause its an amazing game
It's worth noting that you only need to OWN Warhammer 1, you don't need it to be INSTALLED to play Mortal Empires. That's a 40Gb saving if space is at a premium on your SSD, and it's not obvious.
oh wow really, so you don't lose any playable content by not installing it?
@@B.D.E. no, it's only unlocked by owning it. like races from old world, or DLC from old world, is also moved to mortal empires.
@@B.D.E. Nope. Nothing from ME anyway. AFAIK, there's nothing you can do in the WH1 campaign you can't do better in ME (unlike the Vortex campaign, WH1 is about the Chaos invasion which is present in ME) and I don't think any of the ME updates have been applied to WH1. The only thing you'd be "missing out on" are the Wood Elf and Beastman DLC campaigns in WH1 but they suck anyway.
@@sokar_rostau I normally play ME with the SFO mod as it's just that much better. Good to know I can save a few gbs on my nvme drive though.
I actually had to install WH1 to install the DLC for WH1. I could not install the dlc directly in WH2
The sped up end turn is just a game changer for me. Best update ever! Been playing a lot since the shadow and the blade came out.
wait what, its faster now?
@@Marrtinike19 yes, as it is said in the video, became much more faster
Marrtinike19 I went from 53 to 24 second turn times
@@Arachija how did they manage that? wasnt it just a sheer amount of factions to go through issue?
@@vorben7826 Probably, but i imagine complexity of AI decisions also has a lot to say. No idea what they actually changed.
Your timing is impeccable, been super interested in getting back into this. - Marc
Hey a fellow Marc with a C. How is your Christmas eve going?
@@SmashingSnow I see this is the gathering place, happily surprised to be on a total war video. Merry Christmas!
@@Vogel_94 Merry Christmas and it sure is. Come on in.
Hey I love your videos dude
@@adamthompson9388 ty
10:04 giant slayers are actually a new unit for the dwarfes that came when they moved Ungrims start position
Oh nice! I assumed they came with Belegar
@@RepublicOfPlay Giant slayers were free from what I remember
@@RepublicOfPlay technically yes. But you dont the king and the warlord
I remember bashing CA back when warhammer 1 was released. That bitter taste it felt when I thought the game would never change.
Boy was I wrong. This game is getting much better every patch to the point where Im confident warhammer 3 will be the best fantasy game ever, imo.
Try grimhammer mod.
@@snazwonk2066 the one that is currently not updated to the recent patch?
You right
@@devilsangerxxx8475 takes a while to update but it's worth it when it is updated. Sadly, CA is getting so good at adding more DLCs that by the time grimhammer is updated for the latest patch, a new patch comes out
OsisiZZ radious was updated a week after the launch of the dlc. That one is my favorite overhaul for the game
I just bought Warhammer 1 and 2 on sale. It seems like it was perfecting timing considering the new update. So far, the game is amazing, and I really can't wait to dive deep into the lore of this amazing world!
Or you can game share with a friend that has Warhammer 1 it tricks the steam library into thinking u have it and buy the dlc. Did it with friends 100 percent reliable. Plz up vote this I feel a lot of people don't know this at all and no one hasn't mentioned it and I don't want Warhammer 2 to miss out on new sales just because you don't own Warhammer 1. Not only that I find the asking price for the first game to be extremely high if you don't get a nice discount on steam or you find a deal on humble bundle.
Yeah but who has friends
@@RepublicOfPlay if your talking about what friend. He is a close buddy of mine. Steam had a game share system in the settings bar. U just have to access one account on both your PC as well as your friends. Enable the game and for some reason it tricks the game into believing that you own both games and I've duoed with him. I believe the way it works is if the base game is in your box then that counts as the game.ill do so testing again so that im not misinforming anyone but I know this worked for me so maybe it can for others. Also love your channel and content it's CZcamsrs like you that got me heavily interested in total war!!
@@tdizzlegod5055 it's true it does work. Him game sharing with me has allowed to play mortal empires even though I don't own wh 1
@@Thelooneyd preciate it my guy
Wasn't that fixed?
Fair criticisms there, but you're right: things have improved a lot and are looking to grow even more! Merry Christmas!
Re: your point about Mortal Empires being the only DLC that requires you to own another game, amazingly I know of another: The Jacket character pack DLC for Payday 2 requires Hotline Miami 2.
There are actually hundreds of games doing this cross promotional nonsense. I'm pretty sure Killing Floor had something like that going on for it too, either free Chivalry promotion of sorts, or a character. I don't remember exactly. In fact, a lot of games have limited time cosmetics that are related to other games you must own. Rising Storm 1, Shadow Warrior (I think, again this was a Chivalry's character), PayDay 2 (you've guessed it, they collaborated with a handful of games for special DLC actually, including again Chivalry).
Yeah, there definitely are others. This is the only one I've seen that blocks off such major content, though. Wish there was as asterisk next to the "free" label on this one.
Loads of games do it. But not on this scale
9:39 Hilarious seeing that slayer bounce off that varghulf.
Thanks for this review. Just what I needed, new info on Mortal Empires and what to expect.
I am now playing Total War Warhammer from day one.
The truth is that the game is an eternal construction site.
As soon as one faction is revised, the other factions have to be improved.
In 2020 the greenskins will finally be revised and the elves adjusted a bit because it will be a double DLC again.
Chaos will also be adjusted slightly, especially since the third part slowly rolls towards us and there the chaos is safely split into four sub-fractions.
Demons of the four dark gods, undivided chaos, chaos worshipers and surely the beastmen.
The following fractions are not yet finished and are therefore somewhat restricted.
Greenskins, wood elves, beastmen.
Also, as with all Total War's, the unwritten law is, "Mods are almost always mandatory for a perfect game feeling."
@SmashStomp Inc Where did I say what's bad that the game keeps getting edited?
New players must be informed that the game will be updated again and again until Total War Warhammer 3 comes out.
This is especially important for players who like to use mods often.
Furthermore, you have to say that the tournament scene in Warhammer is absolutely vanilla, except for a separate scene for SFO.
Needless to say, if you want to play online, it's best not to use mods.
It is updated again and again as far as the game is concerned, but as soon as you have been around for a long time, you will unfortunately also notice that the game itself lags somewhat behind its possibilities, even now.
So it's very good that the modder scene is so big for Total War.
"Mods are mandatory" is definitely not a positive, it's the same exact skyrim disease: the comunity fix and add content for free. As for the other things you mentioned, the game adds overexpensive DLCs (reskins) all the time. Things that should be there at release, like the weaponry from the skaven. At launch, the skaven was nothing more than a army of goblins with some artillery. The 3 elven factions are nothing more than reskins between themselves. Only the lizardmen felt like a different faction compared to the original game. No tomb kings, instead random vampires. For me, all of these things are inexcusable. And even more inexcusable was the fact I played the pirated version at release, but considering the obnoxious amount of DLCs and the slow work on new crack (because this game is not mainstream), I was forced to buy it to keep playing it. Ok, I had my good times with this game, my favorite killing time hobby... But the issues, how CA slap us in the face with their anti-consumer practices, etc... I learned my lesson. Only bought things related with the dark elves and skaven, my two favorites, on promotions. And Warhammer 3? Fuck it, I will not buy it at release. Most likely I will just try the pirated version and then be done with this franchise. CA is too greedy and lazy, they don't deserve our money.
You all bunch of fucking ass holes who doesnt see what they did. Fucking sheeps who support greedy company that is going to use your stupitdity for any thing. I bet they start seling balls as dlc you would buy it. Morons...
Hasta la victoria siempre butthurt a lot?
@@_greenrunner_ hahahahahahaha i didnt loose a single penny unlike you and it is not point in money any more, but it is hard for your brain to process that...
"von Carsteen"... May Sigmar have mercy on your soul, heretic.
"Unless you want to have multiple campaigns, which is kind of strange" Oh sweet summer child....
Multiple at the same time
@@RepublicOfPlay Oh I understood. I and many like me like to have multiple campaigns going at a time because they tend to be so lengthy that it can be refreshing to change factions and/or regions of the map.
@@Aforgamon I have 3 campaigns going at the same time right now.
@@RepublicOfPlay i find it strange that you dont tbh
I've played every total war title except for Britannia and this is easily my favorite one. Nice idea to review it again with the latest patch. The end turn speed really changes the game on its own.
Thank you, your video is getting me right back into the game, also that Mod sounds like a Christmas Gift, thanks!
I think you also forgot to mention that Nakai the Wanderer and Marcus Wulfhart are extra lords that you can also purchase that allow an empire start location in the Vortex campaign. Playing as an Empire faction with a start location in Lustria alongside his very unique and very different campaign mechanics is definitely a new twist on things. Its also what I would consider among the most difficult starts in the game.
I havent bought or tried those DLC's - was trying to generally steer away from DLC talk in this video, but hoping to do a big buyers guide to all lords at some point in the future possibly!
His start in both vortex and ME can be quite difficult since lizardmen have so many good units imo.
His start is hard because Lustria is packed with LL, esp. on Vortex. (Khalida and Ikit start in Lustria too there.) And Marcus' campaign is about Lizardmen hating him, which is the same for Luthor. And Empire state troops arent any better against tier 1 saurus spam than zombie mobs. Add in increased difficulties and even skinks can become an issue.
@@Grivehn I agree wholeheartedly
Can't stand the vortex campaign myself. I still want to see more customisable options for campaigns, like removing the race for the vortex upgrade shenanigans which allowed huge armies to magically teleport to a region you had few troops in.
Real shame, the map is different and it obviously plays differently, but I don't see why we can't just have a simple "conquer all the things" objective instead of the vortex nonsense.
Thanks for the updated review! Your feelings match my own, really loving playing as Repanse.
I'm thinking absolutely everyone is thrilled with the new turn-time fix as well as the map expansion, I really wish I knew how they achieved it!
Great video - I look forward to seeing your video on Warhammer 3 when it eventually drops on us.
Thanks for this video I've been waiting forever for the performance on turn times, watching TV or shows doesn't work for my immersion when waiting lol. Will check out mortal empires now.
I’ve had this game for a while but I never really played until ”The Shadow and The Blade” DLC arrived. It is so fun now and I got the ”The Prophet and The Warlock” DLC and I can’t stop play as Ikit Claw of The Skaven. He is so fun to play!
Thanks for the (updated)review man. Gonna get both for almost as little as 3. Dollars and gonna play with my homie who has them both as well. Also liked and subbed!
Great review. To the point and informative. Cheers
Good Review
I didn't know that the mortal empires map got bigger
Im starting a new playthrough thanks
Well looks like I know what I'm getting now for Christmas thanks many thanks! And happy holidays!
Edit: timing was perfect too I literly I was going to buy the games for Christmas lol
Great video, thank you very much for all the insights. Only coming to WH 2 all these years later and I’m blown away by how good it is. Huge amount of diversity and depth…kinda boggles the mind actually.
The game has subverted my expectations on a lot of levels, but primarily with the world map POV. I Honestly thought I’d be spending most of my time fighting battles and just using the world map as a reference point as to where to go to initiate the next battle…now that I’m playing it, I realise how “optional” fighting battles actually is and that most of my strategising takes place on that beautiful looking map.
The races play SO differently to each other, the asymmetry is astounding. And the differential in the tech trees and unit abilities is really impressive. I’d imagine you could comfortably sink 100 hours into becoming proficient in each race….that’s a LOT of bang for buck.
This is a game I confidently know I’ll be playing for years to come…that’s rare, and really satisfying.
Improved baseturn speed is a real gsmechanger, that was the only reason why I almost never played it, took me about 2 minutes to end the turn before the patch,.now it takes about 30 seconds or so
My favourite game rn, can’t stop playing it
DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE COMPLAINING, the idea of the company to develop 3 games into one big game is unique and awesome in my opinion. This game is the best fantasy game ever and I will buy all the content because it’s great.
it helps that with every LL DLC there is usually a FLC LL added in (LL- legendary lord) also most DLC is well made and worth the price i myself have 1000 hours into WH2 and 260 in WH1 though i have mods to make everything better for myself
Yeah, "shut up and take my money" has kinda become the unofficial battlecry of the TW: WH2 community. ^^
@@magnuskno hey better then a full price game with loot boxes and other free to play montization lol kinda sad its come to that though
@@n3v3rforgott3n9 Hey, I'm one of the people who yell right along with the refrain and buy every DLC as soon as it can be preordered. ^^
@@magnuskno quality is quality what can u say
Love the video! not the part where you say plethora though... :)
I can't wait for all three games to get out, I will be trying them then!
The most lore accurate thing in my most recent campaign was the dwarves becoming allies with clan eshin, Marienburg having territory in Avelorn and Settra taking over the awakening.
The funny thing for me, before the update that increased the turn timer my computer died. My old one played the game on low rez on everything but with high unit count and it would cause problems from time to time because my computer was sooooo slow. Like I would make a coffee or watch a show between turns Then I got the new one that automatically puts everything on ultra with the update and the end turn timer was like lightspeed. I was floored.
Good timing on the review. I am having trouble downloading some of the DLC that I just bought. Will have to work on that but there are a lot of good deals right now.
That's strange, for TW games, DLC doesn't download anyway, it just registers that you have it - all the content is on disk all the time.
RepublicOfPlay Thanks, I’ll have to check it out after work.
Are you referring to the Total War Access DLC by any chance? Those took me a while to figure out at first. You see them on the DLC tab in the game but clicking on them doesn't immediately take you to where you need to redeem them, at least when I first tried it.
horrocko No, it was for the paid DLC. Tried to download them from steam and never showed up in my game library. This is the only game I’ve every had issues with but I’m at work now so I can’t check it out now. Thanks for your help.
Idk I have 2.2k hours on steam in TWW2 and basically all crashes i experienced were on the campaign map or loading in/from battles, probably due to some mod issues. It never really crashed during a battle in my experience.
Jee bout time on that end turn !
Nice idea to revisit this amazing game!
I feel like the Chaos warriors, beastmen and Wood elves are now the Most underwhelming factions to play as. I really hope to see some really big reworks there in Future.
(Also i still hope to See some more Units and legendary lords get added to the rooster of the beastmen, there army rooster is so small, "where are those Ghorghons", and even the Wood elves could need a new legendary lord with 1-2 new Units.)
Well, now we are nearly there.
Only Chaos needs rework
Good review.! Regarding the chaos issue, as well as the good factions getting huge issue, it is largely due to a couple of points:
- easy diplomacy friendliness between Empire/dwarves/brettonia.
- condederation.
Mostly, factions tend to ally with powerful ones. Now, both these three races have lots of confederation choices. Other "evil" factions do not. So, in essence, one of these will get large, confederate, and then it starts a rollercoaster of alliances/confederacies that is simply not fun.
Hence, I do recommend a simple mod to disable confederations. And suddenly it is quite a wonderful game
Hey man first off Merry Christmas and thanks for the video I have a question I am fairly new to the game and would like to jump in the Mortal Empires however I'm concerned about how long each campaign will take as I do want to explore all Races. How many turns can I expect a short Victory to last? Or am I better off playing each individual Race For example the wood elves in Warhammer 1?
I broke alliance with the dwarfs and every single faction that was left after chaos declared war on me.

From the perspective of a long time player with all the DLC and a ridiculous number of hours in the game, I thought this was an excellent summary of the state of the game and good info for prospective new players in the first five minutes.
I waited a year longer than you and there's even more content now.
As a small advice on the DLC part, if you want to play Skaven, I highly recommend the "Prophet and the Warlock" DLC. It gives access to clan Skryre (Ikkit Claw faction) and the best units the skaven have to offer. Snikch is a fun lord to play, but he doesn't bring that many interesting units. Ikkit brings Jezzails (snipers units, very good at picking heroes and lords), Ratling Guns (mid-range, mass infantry killers) and Doomflayers (anti-infantry motocross units) which are all basically a must-have in your army.
Also, nukes.
Others skaven lords besides Snikch are pretty meh. They are my absolute favourite faction to play however. A bit on the fragile side but have a lot of quirkiness that makes them fun, requires some micromanagement to play effectively, and got some of the most hilarious units in the game.
There is a big balance and overhaul Patch coming up for Mortal Empires so stay tuned for that! :)
Some of the lords from post Vampire Coast DLC (these DLC usually feature 2 lords which have a personal vendetta against each other) actually has their own unique mechanics tailored to them in addition to the new units, which really spices up the game:
Ikit Claw: his pack brought to the Skavens the Rattling guns (the Gatling guns units) Warplock Jezzails (sniper rats) and the doomflayers (armor can opener). He also has (as a Lord specific mechanic) a workshop which upgrade these units (and few other), did I mention you can build a nuclear missile in it and use it in battle?
Sniktch: the only lord in game which can delete a faction with the press of a button (for those who like espionage, sabotage and assassinations). He also brought a couple of new units which can be buffed by Ikit's workshop (the mortars for example).
Allariel: she has a unique mechanic which empowers her when Ulthuan is entirely in high Elves' hands, she can actually recruit some Wood Elves units, her DLC brought with her the sisters of Avelorn (a really good unit) and another few units for the High Elves.
Hellebron: the other side of Allariel DLC, has a unique mechanic based in lore and brought a couple of new units for the dark Eleves.
Tehenuin: the other side of Ikit's DLC, brought few units for the Lizardmen (including a Stegadon with what I can call an Ion Cannon orbital strike, and Salamanders) and has a Sacrifice mechanic to boost his units (mainly Skinks).
Nakai and Wulfhart have their their own "conquesidators vs Atzec" thing going on.
Malus has Tz'arkan and so on...
My personal favorite is Ikit Claw, especially because I like his "more dakka" mentality and the upgrades (and I'm not the only one apparently).
The skavens also got Undercity mechanic which is quite fun to use.
BTW: Tiktaq'to is a FLC lord which was released alongside Ikit's and Tehenuin's DLC, I'm pretty sure Lord Kroak also came as a FLC with him.
This looks like a fun game, I received Total War: Warhammer as part of my GW purchase, thought I would check it out.
what i love about this game is the fact that key keep rebalancing it,changing it and you never feel bored
Your timing is impeccable. (2) I recently re-installed both Total War Warhammer games and got into Mortal Empires about two weeks ago, and have been playing both solo Mortal Empires, and a Co-Op Vortex Campaign with a friend, and I forgot how much blast I have with this game. I've been playing it every day. Great video. Now lemme ask you something, what mod is that for the faction selection screen? Those lord artworks look AWESOME.
That's not a mod, CA revised all the lord portraits in the latest update. Apparently they'd been planning it for a while
I never bought the first game, but you just sold me on it. Thank you! :)
buy the third game as well for the new "Immortal empires" for all 3 games into one
as a consumer looking at this video during a sale, it feels good being seen.
Picked up the original TW:W a while ago when it was on sale on Steam, and did the same last week with TW:W2. The only paid DLC I've bought on top of that was the Queen & the Crone (also currently on sale) to get the High Elf RoR units. I'm 50 hours into my first Mortal Empires campaign and having a blast, which seems like pretty good value for money considering it's cost me less that £30 all in.
Never played a warhammer game before ive look at tones of videos on the games (1 and 2) and I finaly made my decision 12h before the end of winter sale. (there is no way i would have bought those for 70$ each)
Thanks for that mortal empire review and the disclaimer.
If you buy anything from games workshop shop online you get warhammer 1 code free for limited time
I guess high elves aren’t loved enough to be features in the thumbnail
Also VC got the blood kiss and Bretonnia’s vows got reworked. Skaven also gained the under-empire
Yeah I really appreciated that. There are a few things in the video he really needed to mention, I personally found they enhanced certain factions by a large amount(particularly under-empire)
Please try out the mods from the modding community, there is a mod called Mixu's Legendary Lords that add even more Legendary Lords to the Game and sub-factions; letting you play Empire factions like Averland, or Middenhiem, not to mention the Steel and Faith Overhaul that makes the game more lore accurate and gives it more of a challenge.
Do you think you can make a video of the mods you use to make the game even more enjoyable? Asking as a prospective Warhammer buyer (but a total war player since 2006).
To have Orc squids you also need warhammer 1. I only found out why I couldn't use squids after seeing the chats.
@republicofPlay
thank you for great summary. after having all these DLCs and stuff what is your avarage time loading from game save and in/after battle ? I assume u use ZED, right ?
I don’t know what ZED is and havent tracked my loading times sorry
@@RepublicOfPlay sorry I mean SSD (auto correction from phone)
Well, I'm late for that review for over a year, but right now the first one is on sale 75% and the second 66% like in the time of this video, and I think I'm gonna get them both! :D
Huh...Personally im a total war "fan boy" soo this would be useless for me but it seems well put together and i agree with things you say soo i guess i can send this video to some friends that havent gotten the total war bug yet...Soo thanks Darren :)
Does this game have more polish than Warhammer 1 (Like short movies for certain events and generally more personality)?
My favourite is Repanse of Lyonesse by a huge difference, although Bretonnia is a pretty forgotten faction :/, new races are taking too much lights
Gosh I need to find and download it.
‘Hello everybody’ HERE WE GO BOYS
The turns on mortal empires are pretty quick if you put it on an SSD I've found =)
Great Job
I actually never played the normal warhammer 2 campaign...
ME is all I want 😁
What's the battle background music called at around 9:20 ? I've been searching a lot through CZcams to find the name of this one specific song but to no avail. It seems to be specific to dwarven battles.
Ok I found it lol, It's called "Crush Da Stuntiez!"
Please make video about sfo mod when its updated :D
Unlike Paradox games, there are no "necessary" dlc. It's just an extra helping, not two slices of bread with fillings sold separately.
What??? What an absurd statement, lol if you don't buy DLC , you don't have the skaven. Simple as it is, the entire roster that matters (weapons) are locked behind a DLC. A major faction on the old world map, the wood elves, are also locked behind a DLC. Fucking Chaos is a DLC, lol arguably the most important faction in the whole game. It's like if you have a world war 2 game and the axis was locked behind a DLC, not even Paradox does that. Tomb Kings, just like wood elves, also locked, etc... CA and Paradox are both disgusting companies. Paradox is even more greedy, but you can't simply turn a blind eye for CA. They sell fucking blood effects mate, there's no DLC concept in this industry that is more insulting than this.
@@RRRRRRRRR33 But they are already in game, and AI can use it.
@@Murgraht So what? You see the AI skaven using gatling guns, snipers, mortars, motorcycles, etc... And when you try them, you can only use cheap infantry and some catapults? Vanilla skaven is nothing more than the equivalent of a army of goblins, you can say this is almost false advertisement, lol
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Each faction was both viable and fun when the game released, that is still true today.
The DLCs enhance the experience which is what additional content is supposed to do.
@@masterfreeman117 The skaven was not viable at release, this is not even debatable. Nowadays you can give it some slack because of the under-empire system... but that's it. You play like skaven in the campaign map, but in battle they look like a army of goblins who can ambush. The skaven DLC don't enhance the faction, it actually revamps it into an artillery/range focused faction.
Thanks for this. Now I'm gonna play ME again
i stoped playin the game because of how long the turns were, so nice to hear its better now
is the performance good for lower tier pcs?, i wanna get into it but warhammer one was so chuggy,
Don't you have to have vampire counts dlc to play as them?
so do I need to install both Total War and II or if I buy the two and install II but have Total war in my library will I be able to play it?
You need to own both 1 & 2 but only install 2
RepublicOfPlay when do you think we will get news on troy total war
About a week after the Three Kingdoms DLC comes out in January
@@RepublicOfPlay sounds about right. Troy is coming out in the first half of 2020 (hopefully with Warhammer 3 coming out November 2020). They'll start theirarkettic campaign straight away, though they won't get the train to full speed straight away. The next warhammer 2 DLC and greenskin update is coming out sometime in the first 3 months next year as well
Aidan Mattys summer window release?
This means I have to buy warhammer 1 as well to play this dlc. Plz someone explain.
I uh... do have a campaign for each race that I jump between on whim. Though I love skaven, empire, chaos and vamps. It's great. Though I'm finding that enemy army compositions are really terrible, with empire armies taking 70% ranged and artillery vs my fast melee armies... they wont learn.
Got lucky and bought my pc during huge steam sales. Got both games and a lot of dlc for like 75$
You don't show Nagashizaar and the lands added to make the beginning of the Darklands
You can buy steam cd keys hella cheap. I paid $60 total for both warhammers
I would also love to add that the steam workshop is full of additional content which is super high quality. Dwarf smithing, island battles, imperial court and many more of the "official" features that came with updates were before MODS that were super popular so CA got inspired and added them.
There is also "mod" called "SFO: Grimhammer 2" which is what WH2 should be Lore-wise. EVERY faction gets its own unique mechanics, buildings, skill trees, research and much more... Stats+abilities+unit traits are totally reworked and another warpton of units added which leads to very interesting, diverse and situational army compositions. SFO really adds depth to the game. Most of the people are not able to play vanilla (even modded vanilla) after trying SFO.
I think the performance updates are probably a result of work being done on Warhammer 3's engine that got put into Warhammer 2 as well. I could be wrong but that's what it feels like and we know that CA are deep into development of Warhammer 3 at this point
Does this game still have the crashes and run like garbage if its on nvidea graphic card?
How much faster is the turns ?
This game got one of the best overhauls for total war overtime. Cheese for the Cheese God!
I would love it if they would try to expand the map back to the West and South in order to open up more space. While Mortal Empires is amazing, It would be nice if they could implement the whole map, as unlikely as that might be.
Also, and I've seen so many other people ask around on other sites and forums, what in the hell is wrong with the FLC for Warhammer 2. Installing it is the most annoying thing ever. The only one that I've actually gotten to install is the Mortal Empires campaign itself. So, if anyone has any insight or knowledge on how to do it, I would appreciate if someone could share.
Thanks.
you have to click install free content then it starts the game then you have to exit the game and repeat with all other content. its annoying but works for me
yeah i bought all of it week ago, both games and all dlcs except for wood elves and beastmen, cause i really dont care bout them and bin playing mortal empires ever since, non-stop
I think they said it was 80-90% increase in end turn speed. Good video but holy balls 5 ad breaks is a little much (on phone not pc)
WH II have better optimisation ;
Because WH I after some updates start drops FPS, don't know if i will have same problems with WH II ;
Imagine crusading against araby as bretonia.
I bought TWWH 1 just a week before with the steam Xmas sale and I was really thinking about WH2 but I doubt a lot till I saw they brought back empire :D I'm buying TWWH 2 tomorrow without dlcs for only 15usd as I have the ticket of 5 dollars... WE REALLY HAVE A DEPTH WITH STEAM FOR SAVING US A LOT!! A LOT OF MONEY :'D ♥️
I really enjoy the Vortex campaign. I still play it, I will miss it when Wh3 comes out.
I have warhammer 1 and 2 so immortals empire is a reward for owning both. I also have warhammer 3 pre-order
can anyone tell me what mod makes siege better ? pls : ]
The new update has rejuvenated this game for me as well.
well on a sale now u cna get both games for less than 30 euro and if u add 30 more euro(IF U WANT OFC) on some discounted dlcs u can get most of the faction at the price of a single triple A title so at the end of the days people who are whinning about the 30 euro price tag(60 to 80 if all dlcs) on both games sould reconsider cause its a fucking amazing game
100+ mods make it very splendid altogether.
It was ever thus with TW games.
Lol until them dlc/free lc hit and you gotta wait for a update
I dunno how Creative Assembly do it.. but these 2 base games plus all the free DLC and paid DLC makes it the most awesome Total War Game ever... I know as I own all the Total War Game since Rome Total War. The 2D MTW and STW doesn't cut it for me...
no update will come for chaos or beastmen they are reserved for Third game
