Have they fixed Chaos replacement? Chaos corruption did nothing a few months ago because you needed to be in a friendly territory to get reinforcement bonuses from it. Practically meaning it only works in the areas controlled by friendly tribes and is otherwise completely useless.

Encampment (I forget the actual name) stance causes replenishment. Awakened tribes just make it go faster.

Yeah, but the tooltip for corruption claims it increases replenishment. This is false, as it only applies when encamped within friendly territory. If you are in an enemy territory with 100% corruption, your repleshnishment is the basic rate while encamped.

You know, thinking about the extra faction bits from the preorder, with the Vortex of Magic being a primary thing for TW2, could the new units be Daemons?


It'd flesh out the Chaos roster quite a lot.

CA already said that the pre-order bonus will be a faction for the first game that is already in the Old World map. They also said it is not Kislev, nor is it a subfaction of one of the current ones. So either one of the Southern Realms or Norsca.

Norscan roster's a subset of Chaos anyways, y'know?

Yes, but it is certainly not Daemons or for the second game, which is what I wanted to clear up.

As the two games are merging, technically a change to the first is a change to the second [/nitpick]

CA just announced they'll be doing a series focused on smaller events kinda like Fall of the Samurai and Napoleon: https://www.totalwar.com/blog/a-total-war-saga-announce-blog/

Other than that, they haven't talked about what periods they want to do so not much news.

There is a very blurry map on that page. People were very fast when it came to matching it to a location.

Apparently, that's the coast near Dublin.

I think they're seriously overreaching themselves.

Like, what's their plan here? I can "kinda" see annual releases but currently we have Warhammer 2 coming out later this year... the as yet unannounced historical Total War coming out sometime next year, and Warhammer 3 coming out that year as well. So now we also have this minor series also coming out... most likely also next year.

It's way too much.

[Neonivek]

I think they are sinking.

I still think the Total War: Warhammer... was meant to sell way more than it did, and likely the licensing fees and conditions might have... hurt them.

It's literally the best selling Total War ever.


If that's a failure condition, I'll be astonished.

[Tack]

Yeah they literally said in their press release that they 'Hadn't been ambitious enough'
TW:W1 has basically bankrolled them for a while.

[ArchAIngel]

I think what happened is that they tapped into the surprisingly large group of people who remember Warhammer Fantasy, and want more, but are denied by Age of Sigmar existing.


Scratched an itch, as it were.


Plus I can destroy entire species for mildly annoying me.


That's always a plus in a game.

Remember Tomb Raider, which sold over a million games... Was considered a commercial failure.

This is their best selling Total War by a small margin, I fully suspect they expected a lot more sales, like actually hitting that million mark.
