I hear ya, mine are morrowind and FONV.

That's some pretty cool ass lore really digging what I'm reading

The undead are a BEAST. 2 things that they have that'll protect ya from range. Zombies and bats. Send the zombies out ahead of you to soak up the range and once range starts to pop off send the bats in to distract and then pull the bats away. Rinse and repeat until they overran. Zombies and bats are super cheap. The thing with undead that took me a bit to figure out was the corruption mechanic. The thing I've been doing is having my heros spec'd with spreading corruption and sending them into lands to harass and be distractions while having at least one capital or town have the corruption building that spreads into adjacent lands.

In the wheel of time series, they introduce a character almost right off the bat that can brow beat, track, AND knock most men on their asses. Hell the beginning town, the men walked lightly not only because of women's circle politics but because quite a few could physically overpower a lot of men. Also we can't forget about Birgitte golden hair either, that chick was badass even without a bow. That's also not only talking bout the aiel society and also one of the trinity's wife was a force to be reckoned with with him having to go all out to save his skin from her. Sigh, can't believe I got sucked into this. It's fantasy, that's like saying the reason is "SCIENCE!!!", "Magic", or "Aliens!!". You could go in with the assumption that "real life" mechanics are at play but ya gotta throw that out the window when the "whatever" gives multiple examples that it doesn't. Old men aren't always weaker than youngins, youngins ain't always dumber than elders, women aren't always weaker than men, and magic doesn't always win against steel or even good old fashion trickery. It's fantasy. Nuff said. Back to topic-when is tranny gonna be out? It's says this year but steam still won't let me preorder.

Lmfao

At the very beginning make sure one of ur buildings is the one that does vamp corruption. Also other buildings that will help spread it as well. Parking generals by borders to block ambushes and raids will also spread it out. It's a slow mechanic to spread without conquering.

Yes. I have never played a total war game ever before or any other rts game at all and I am having a blast. Yes, there is a lot to learn BUT the game does a very good job at making a lot of the info u need very easy to get to.

Still playing total war warhammer and tbh think I will be playing the game for a very very long time. Just having a blast with it. The Woman got me Doom 4 for the ps4 for my bday yesterday but haven't gotten to play it yet since they in town and spending time with her and my other kids before they go back. Also playing plants vs zombies 2 with my kids and tbh it is a fun game lol. Me and my youngest daughter whupping ass in the ps4 one piece game, finally FINALLY they getting old enough to appreciate manga and anime lol, been trying for years and NOW finally they liking manga and anime lol. Now I just gotta monitor which ones they watch and read lol.

****ing sweet!!!

Playing total war warhammer with the necromancer in the vampire counts on normal. So far learning as I go, some battles I whipped ass and some battles I won but suffered worse than the enemy. So far doing decent I believe, roleplaying and while I don't believe I will survive the chaos warriors (hell I haven't even gotten past 14th round from start overs), I don't care. I'm simply having a blast and can't wait to jump in again. My next battle is with dwarfs and while I can now down almost everything they have, it's their range that's giving me the biggest problem. Damn those dwarfs for keeping their range protected or else I'd send all my Calvary and bats and hounds and zombies to just straight up maul their faces....lol.

To be honest, sounds like they just weren't up to par with the standards and got let go and denied a paying job and is now filing a lawsuit because they worked for free as interns and didn't pan out. I could very well be wrong but hopefully justice gets served either way.

I am loving it as well. Getting by by the scrape of my teeth and learning as I go along and just loving it! There's so much going on and the only thing I wish was there wasn't a round limit but I understand why. Don't think I should be to worried because after playing 8 hours straight I was only on round 14. Still don't think I'll be able to win with this one but it's been ****ing glorious lmao. And yes I'm roleplaying that necromancer and this is my epic campaign. I've turned down peace multiple times even though I'm getting wrecked lol to eventually get them and subjugate them under my heel. Damn I'm having a lot of fun.

Mmm so first time playing rts strategy AND first time with warhammer universe (minus Verminitide), I'm going with VC as first faction and gonna chose the necromancer as my dude. Gonna roleplay this dude as a very badass evil necromancer spreading in death and corruption everywhere and openly declare war on the world. Gonna bust out the gate at the very start that I'm a bad mama jama and a force to be reckoned with.....and see how far I can take his glorious compaign. Think I'm gonna do that for each one I pick and play the play style I pick weither it's smart to or not lol. ****ing A I'm excited and can't wait

Thanks for videos links, getting Rdy to watch them

It being my first rodeo with this type of game, SP being amazing is more than enough for me

There's a lot of reviewers giving the game high scores. No 100s I've seen So far but lots of 80-90's. Sigh 4 days and 10 hours and 22 mins can't come quick enough.

Been eyeballing the game especially at its price. Did they ever release the pack 3 u was talking about?

(Little girl scream) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit

I can't wait grrrr. Think I'm gonna go vampires first since I have a love for undead and then maybe the chaos next.

Yeah, I was excited about the novellas as well during the Kickstarter. Still have a desire to read them. Tbh though since I haven't gotten mine from wasteland 2 either, I'm under the impression MCA maybe didn't actually write them yet, I dunno. It seems MCA had beef with obsidian so u could tinfoil hat that the worse, but MCA seems to be on good terms with inexile so why isn't that one out as well that he supposed to have already finished.

The more I see in th videos, the more excited I am. I know it's different than what I've played before, but holding I like it as well and can wrap my head around new play style. If anything, I'll build an army and just send them all to fight and zoom in and what all the npcs just duke it out lol.

You know what, I think I may have been mistaken about Anders. Been a long time since I played it, and I think it was more along the lines of walking on egg shells of dialogue with mages and not relationship wise. My bad I believe I was wrong about Anders. I remember being excited for him being in the second one because I liked his character in dao, but the second one I was put off with what he become as a character difference. A charming **** into an emo whiner.

Welp thanks for he videos in this thread I have preordered this awesome looking game. Straight fresh fish when it comes to rts (if u don't count the 15 mins I played of Starcraft 2 at my friends house). Looks totally awesome and a brand new style of game for me to play.

Ok I'm bored so I'll muck thru. Welp ok, just one thing right since I'm on break. My problem so far is how "special" bio/beam dog treat their non white straight characters. You can put whatever sexual/race/etc preference into a rpg (been done for years) BUT imho they need to advance the story, not that they are special snowflakes for being normal. 2 examples done wrong. Da2. Anders. Ok he's gay, ok whatever. The problem with Anders in ur party is that u either have to accept his advances OR politely refuse him while still sounding like there's a chance. If u are blunt or rude in denying his advances, u lose him from the party. You basically have to swallow his advances and still be civil while hinting that u maybe interested later on. It was what 3 or 4 times this pops up and u can't just deny him while being urself. U have to baby him in denying him or go thru a romance option with him to keep him. Yes u can be an **** to him but u lose the only healer if u aren't a healer urself. 2. This in between BG. U get a trans who u cannot be an **** to. There's no option. Both characters scream their sexuality and are denied to being blunt or even evil towards. Granted u can be evil and an **** to everybody else and still keep them in ur party, but it feels like u have to treat these people "special" simply because of their sexuality. Now here's an example done right and surpriselingly (well not really seeing how it was the last game MK worked on) but bethesdas Vivec from Morrowind. Here is someone who is straight up bi and transexual in changing his/her sexuality on a fly or a whim, but no ones ever been up in arms about him. Why? Because even though if I read the lore and the ingame books, the game screams this guy is bi and trans, he still an awesome character because of 2 key points. One is that he's very well written and two, his sexuality is never defining his character. Meaning it does play a role in his point of view of some things, but it never the key thing that defined him. You wanna be an **** to him, go ahead he's problemly a bigger **** than u by forcing his people to love him or face the moon crashing and destroying everything. The very same moon that hangs above Vivec that people must stare at everyday. The reason why I have a problem with checklist mentality when it comes to making sure different sexualitys are in the game is because they mainly defining that character by their sexuality. When tbh imho ur sexuality in real life isn't that important at all and it shouldn't be something "special" or a check to check on a list to make sure everyone's being represented. another great example is fallout series. U can be gay/trans/bi/etc and u can roleplay that and u can even get a few new things to happen because of it, but it's not the over defining thing that makes ur character. The main story doesn't change because ur "different" because as it should in real life not matter. Ur not better or worse because of it and my problem is that with sjw that I'm seeing in games is not that they are added (they've been in video games for years and one of my fav characters is a bisexual trans) but that Because of their sexuality they are somehow "special" because of it. And also the woman's attitude and checklist mentality when she thinks she's doing the community a GREaT service because she adds something in and creates them as special snowflakes and thinks she's doing something ground breaking when in actuality imho she's doing worse BECAUSE she views them as special snowflakes that u can't treat normal like other people. Rants over, let the flames begin. Hopefully it was understandable.
