Total War Warhammer 2: Gameplay teaser and other news.
- Thread starter Samtemdo8_v1legacy
- Start date
You are talking to a person that has been playing Medieval 2 for just as long and trust me the AI was not god tier in that game at all. Especially in Siege Battles.RiseOfTheWhiteWolf said:
i think its easy to assume they will.Whitbane said:
haha medieval 2.. those were the days. i remember the Ai being so broken on release that an AI army wouldnt react to you unless you engaged them in melee, so you could just sit across from them and kill them all with arrows
If you had the Blood and Gore DLC in the first game, it will apply in the Second Game.pookie101 said:
So they learned from Rome 2 and Attila.
been playing the first one a lot this last week and now really wanting some of that dlc.
Are the chaos warriors a good faction? and do the wood elves have a large amount of missile units?
My quest is to find the strongest missile unit faction so far settled on dwarves.

Word that I've heard through the grapevine is that the DLC factions aren't that great. Chaos fights amongst itself too easily and Wood Elves are a glass cannon that forgot the cannon part. You may want to take a long look through user reviews to get the full story. The other DLC, the Lord ones, are better, but I'd still recommend close scrutiny.iwinatlife said:
Beastmen are a fun faction to play as account of their different starting positions but their stand alone campaign is pretty boring.iwinatlife said:
Grim and the grave add a lot of good empire and VC units. I would actually say that Grim and the Grave add necessary units for the vamps if you want to perform swarm tactics.
King and the warlord is probably the best since it adds new units and better Lords with different starting positions.
Chaos is pretty boring/unfun with out mods.
what? I remember people memeing about this early on but I didn't think people actually believed it.erttheking said:
Considering you've not actually played any of the DLC factions by your own admission I don't understand why you'd feel that you need to give your opinion but oh well.erttheking said:
Chaos - Fun because they're just a murder/death/kill faction, bit frustrating because if you lose a lord you have to start building your army from scratch and you lose all your growth and buildings over again so it takes time. Chaos doesn't "fight amongst itself" at all. The Norsca tribes you subjugate do and they'll tell you to fuck off if you pick a fight they don't think they can handle. You'll likely end up auto-resolving a lot because you're either steamrolling enemies or struggling because Chaos lords suffer attrition when they're next to each other so you need to plan out ahead of time what you're doing if you need to reinforce other armies. They have fuck all missle troops but their Hellcannons are easily the best artillery in the game and can break units before they cross the field. You can also guide their shots like Doom Divers.
Wood Elves - Again, fun and different. Zero focus on actually holding onto territory outside of Athel Loren you just take a settlement and move on. They need the most micromanagement in battle of all the armies because so much of their tactics are in being able to shoot while moving. Most of their units have zero staying power besides forest spirits so you have to keep a constant eye on what everyone is doing and pulling them back from enemies and hitting and running. Lords get a buff that increases the amount of ammo they carry and the damage they do.
Beastmen - Orcs but goats. Not used them much.
Meh.
Really unimpressed by everything I've seen of TWWH2.
It doesn't look like a sequel. It looks like a glorified expansion pack. The same game again, just with more/differnt content. They intent on not fixing anything either. They've already said that they won't be changing the sieges (which were shit) or the magic (which was shit).
Maybe that would be okay if the new factions were interesting. But they're not. The High Elves don't seem to have much to distinguish them mechanically and look fucking hilarious with their pointy penis hats. The Lizardmen look alright but, once again, just seem like a mechanically pretty standard army.
I'm just not seeing what is supposed to justify paying any more than $20 or so.

*Shrugs* I've heard really bad things and I didn't want someone to waste their money. Hell, I told them to check out the user reviews for a reason.Here Comes Tomorrow said:
I am.Samtemdo8 said:
However I'm given to understand that WH Dark Elves just look like fantasy dominatrixes (the ones in the trailer did) which is dumb and cliche and just not my cup of tea. Even if the Skaven turn out awesome in every way there's no chance of me paying full price for a single good faction for a game that I have in essentially already played.
I for one love the High Elves because Dragons, proper Fire breathing Red Scaled Dragons.Zhukov said:
That is enough for me to buy it. I already pre ordered.
Well the thing is I mostly just play Custom Battles by myself setting up the armies I want to see fight so more factions is really all I need.Zhukov said:
But I hope for better sieges.
