Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
You should buy 1 solely for the Mortal Empire's grand campaign map, which includes the TW1 races. And any faction packs that catch your fancy for it, they carry over. Same for TW3, into the eventual TW3.

So stuff from TW1 carry over to 2?!
That's cool.
Might grab 1 now then and wait for another sale for 2 if I like it.

Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Yes the idea is that by the time 3 comes out you get this massive game with all the races and factions from all of the old Warhammer Fantasy series.Assuming you bought all 3 games and relative DLCs, so it IS a major money investment. Thank goodness for Steam sales.
Also, Total War 40k fucking when?! Imagine an Horus Heresy campaign, it would be sooo cool.

Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
I have never played TW, but apparently each game only has a limite nimbée of factions that's it ? Or van you play anything you like through DLC? Or is therebsome ultimate edition in the works?
I might give it a try someday but if I can't play a faction I enjoy I'll just be frustrated.

Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
@Maz: Yeah, albeit in the updated, current form. None of the mini-campaigns come, but they weren't great anyway. But every faction/lord/unit pack does carry over into Mortal Empires, and then into TW3. By the end of TW3, we should have damn near everything notable from the Old World.
@Alien: I'd say that the TW engine wouldn't work for 40k, but fuck it. Dawn of War is dead, CA did amazing with Alien, so maybe they could do 40k justice with a major engine overhaul.
@Sine: Yeah, the scale of the project is every major faction, unit, region, and named characters from the Old World. So they divided it into 3 games. Games come with some factions baseline, then there's free DLC. Factions are paid (on sale now), along with packs that include new units and named characters. By the the time the next game is out and finished, there'll probably be an ultimate edition, but that's years away.

Finished the most recent Horus Heresy siege of Terra novel; a little disappointing. There was so much filler and set-up for the next one. There were some cool stuff, but the plot was really dragging its feet.
Though I hear the next novel is a doozy; huge retcons and plot revelations abound.

I hope most of the second isn't true. I'm so sick of people using the HH as an excuse to shit all over Big E and make him more of a villain.
Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
So apparently for the free DLC for Total War Warhammer you have to download them manually.....which only works sometimes apparently as when you hit "download" it launches the launcher and doesn't actually fucking download it every time, so it's pot fucking luck.
Fuck sake I've not even played it yet and I am already pissed off because of a shitty installation process, this shit is not worth it.
Tempted to get a refund.
EDIT: sent refund requests.
Pissed me off.

Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
You literally just click download for the FLC's. Then you let it open the launcher. Start the game once. Then exit out. Sometimes you need to restart steam.

Yeah, for each one. And the best thing is there is no guarantee that actually "works", so you gotta keep doing it until it does, I did one DLC four times before it activated.
That's like buying a car but you have to get in and out five times every time you want to change the radio. Yeah once you've done it for all the free DLC it's done but it's so fucking annoying that I already don't like my experience with the game before I've even played the damned thing.
I now don't WANT to play it because I am just reminded of the unnecessary bullshit I had to go through that literally every other game of this studio's has never had. Or any other game for that matter.
EDIT: Fuck it, one more go.
If it's still not activating on each attempt I am gonna just write it off and not bother with the free content.
Oh, look, did exactly as you said, hit download, game launcher loaded, loaded the game, restarted steam. Still not activated.
Did that for every single one.
Still not active.
Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Eh, they work for me as soon as I get them. Have some patience, try again, the game is worth it.

I honestly don't know what I can do at this point. It just isn't working.
I've played nothing of this game and I have such a sour experience so far. I honestly do not think it's worth this.
EDIT: Finally it's worked.
Aaaaand now I have no motivation to actually play this fucking game and want to forget about it....
Fuck sake.
And I just know it's gonna take fucking ages to get Steam to have to manually refund all the DLC's.
Yay buyer's remorse.
Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Eat an icecream, boot it up. It's worth it.
Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Maybe.
I kinda didn't play much of Rome 2, and that was the last total war game I played at a decent clip at 79 hours.
I played 15 hours of Atilla, which is barely anything.
To compare I've played Hearts of Iron 4 for 264 hours.
So I am even wondering if I'd play this game all that much and if it's even worth all the aggro I'be been through.

TW: WH2 is, by far, the best Total War game ever made, just by dint that it features incredibly diverse unit rosters (every main faction (High Elves, Lizardmen, Skaven, etc) has completely different units and plays markedly different from each other faction). Then there's the inclusion of magic on the battlefields, the skill trees for your legendary lords / lords, the gigantic campaign map (you should play the Mortal Empires map, since it includes all the factions from TW: WH1. You need to own the first game, though) and the fantastic graphics and sound design.
For a first game, I'd recommend the High Elves, and specifically playing Tyrion (faction name: Eathaine), since the High Elves have the most "normal" roster for an experienced Total War player, except that they have as high tier units also phoenixes, giant eagles and dragons. Tyrion just is a very solid faction leader with good factionwide bonuses and a strong personal performance. Also, his starting position is pretty forgiving.
The other factions are more specialized each in their own way. Try out first how the game appeals to you with something which won't throw you into the deep end, i.e. High Elves/Tyrion.
I have almost 400 hours in the game and haven't even played more than half of the factions yet, since I like the High Elves just too much. ^^
Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Well I am in such a bad mood from this bullshit I am refunding the game, if it goes very, very cheap then maybe I will try this abysmal installation process again, but it's not likely.
Couldn't just be like literally every other game and install all of it when I download and install the rest of the game and DLC's, no, it had to be broken as shit.

So... because the installation process which presumably took a while to get done was onerous you decided to just ree and refund it?
Yeah you do you I guess. Seems like you just made the time you put into getting it to work absolutely worthless though.

Not only did it take too long it was pretty much broken.
Constantly opening and reopening the game to find the content not working when literally all the stuff I had payed for was working just fine and had downloaded and activated all in one package, especially when I did the "add all DLC to cart" method of payment made the reason/need for it all the more aggravatingly annoying.
I was already in a bad mood and that shit tipped me over the edge.
So, yeah, I am washing my hands of it.
It's broken, soured my experience of the game before even playing it and is honestly not worth it in a game I had a passing fancy for and got it on sale when it was kinda cheap. The only reason I kept putting time into it because I got that anger determination. By the time I got it to work I had no desire to play.
Not worth the aggro I went through, hopefully I get my money back.

Other current events aside, does seem like the corona panic is finally ending. Lots of people outside lately, few if any masks, clients are calling us up to do interior work, and boy I hope all the work I couldn't do so far this year still occurs. Helps that the weather is lovely lately. Plus I got an old bike one client was throwing away, apparently it's a good brand, and despite only one break working, I'd like to cycle again. Used to love that as a kid. Plus I need to do cardio.

The first set of panic is over, but also so is the vigilance.
There IS a second wave coming because people are relaxing.
Now I don't want people on edge all the time but I do want governments to live up to their jobs and actually make sure there are as little cases as possible before they worry about economies and shit.
When stuff like this crops up we know, at least in the UK, that this relaxed state is only going to make things worse.
If you can get work then be as safe as possible Vol.

I'm tired of all the people who didn't take it seriously before, and are now saying it's been sidelined by the nationwide protest going on.

Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
If that's any consolation to you, today's my country Republic Day (the day after WWII where we voted to tell our king to fuck off and became a democracy) and over the last few days there's been several manifestation from several conspiritards groups and by the ultra-right parties demanding "Italy to be free again", that the Corona Virus outbreak was one big fakeout, and that we don't need to listen to the EU and the commies to take care of ourselves.
Italy also has the region on the whole continent with the biggest number of infected people, and funnily enough is one of the stronghold of the italian far-right too.
Stupidity is truly something all branches of humanity share.

I understand that it might be hard to see the glass half-full considering the situation, but all in all, didn't Italy dodge a bullet by having Salvini leave the government before the Covid outbreak? The country was hit hard already with reasonably sane people in charge, I shudder to think what could have been with that moron in the Interior minister.
Between Bolsonaro, Trump and Johnson, right-wing populists haven't shown a great ability at dealing with pandemics. It's not a universal rule of course but I think Salvini might have been right there with them - or worse since he could have been in a position of power in one of the first countries to deal with the outbreak.

I hate how nintendo went about that game, but it is looking good with that dlc.
Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
There are a ton of things in which Nintendo towers over almost all other video game editors in the world - product quality at release, among others - but when it comes to DLC they tend to really abuse the loyalty of their fanbase.
I bought the Fire Emblem: Three Houses DLC pass at release, it cost me 29 bucks (compared to 55 for the game itself), and the contents have nowhere been worth half the price of a full game (especially considering how much there was in the base game already). When you add that Nintendo games are famous for their base games whose prices never go down - they even go up sometimes when production stops...
But I don't know if there is a perfect editor when it comes to DLC management. Firaxis is pretty great though from what I have experienced.
