Total War: Warhammer

Here's the aggregate review thread from Reddit. I'm pretty on the fence about this given Stellaris and Overwatch.

Stellaris is undercooked and will need some DLC love to reach an epic level.

I loved Overwatch and can see me picking that up eventually, but is number 3 on the list this summer.

Preloaded Warhammer and cannot wait.

It looks as true to the table top as real time games can get. But the only mediocre gameplay TOTAL WAR has put out IMO is ETW (and I have hundred of hours in that)


Most of us Warhammer fans are upset about the lack of factions

What was your opinion on Rome II? I realize they fixed it, but it looked like total shite at launch.

Total War's grand strategy has been way behind Paradox and Civ for a long time. Probably a good thing to just ditch it.

I agree Stellaris needs some more content, but I'm really wishy washy on spending another set of cash on a game to compete with a game I already bought.

I'm leaning hard to picking it up. Watching gameplay really makes me want to play it.

I played a bit last night.

So far I like it, the animations are top notch (fighting the green skins watching them pick up my troops and toss them around was cool)and fun to watch if you take the time during the battles.

I love the heroes on the battlefield.

I found the graphics somewhat bland but that could be my rig as it's no longer a topic notch graphic PC.

I am having a hard time getting use to the strategic map mostly where things are as it is rather different from past titles.

It also feels somewhat bare bones, though I'm still early in my empire campaign. I knew they had taken down the strategy a notch and you can feel it.

The one thing I have noticed is other "countries" are making diplomatic efforts towards me. I don't believe I have ever seen that in a Total war game, at least not in the volume of so many different countries.

Good stuff so far, probably going to play the hell out of it.

Don't forget that Hearts of Iron 4 is just in a week. That and Ageod's Napoleon game are my next two purchases( though the ageod one scares me, talk about micromanagement)

Wars of Napoleon is its name. I'll admit, the Ageod games aren't for everyone. They're very low budget and can be a bit buggy. But I get a lot of satisfaction out of them. Every game is a struggle. Every victory is well earned and every defeat is soul crushing (because it will be like an hour before you can replace those forces).

This one hasn't gotten great reviews on steam but I'm more than willing to give it a go.
