I think we are overlooking the greatest tragedy: Surtha Ek is not playable. He remains beyond our comprehension.

[Mech#4]

It doesn't look like they're giving Wulfrik the ability to teleport anywhere on the map with his ship. Oh well. Can't have everything.

His ship is featured as a battle ability that deals damage and knockback, I'm assuming like the Tridant of Manaan.

The Fimir are really unexpected. The Norscan will also have the ability to settle coastal towns as well as faction capitals. They will get quests to hunt monsters and can dedicate ruined settlements to one of the four Chaos Gods (in the guise of a wolf, snake, eagle and crow) gaining bonuses the more they glorify one of the gods while earning the ire of the other three.

(in the guise of a wolf, snake, eagle and crow)

In case someone is uncertain which is which, they are, in order: Khorne, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Nurgle. It's kind of weird because Tzeentch is associated with ravens and thus corvids, but crows eat carrion and the eagle doesn't fit Nurgle at all.

I laughed.

So Norsca's showing up as a DLC in my inventory.


But it's not DLing. Is it just announced, and it needs to come out, or is it out and it's buggy?

It's not out yet.

Yeah, it comes out on 10/August/2017. So it won't download 'til then.

The Old Friend has basically been confirmed as Krell.

Also apparently the Norsca DLC will also give all the other races a new unit as FLC.

Source? Because I remember CA saying it wouldn't be a lord.

Don't get me wrong, I'll love it if it is Krell, long missing, found at last.

EDIT: Found what is probably your source. Where is Krell? Here he is.

Someone accidentally loaded it into the database.

Anyway, they're strongly hinting that they'll be giving the Beastmen the Jabbawocky. Good times. I think they're also saying Empire and a bunch of other guys are getting stuff too, but there's definitely Jabbawocky vibes. Also they mentioned Wood Elves specifically too.

I am kinda intrigued that CA have so many community managers and devs prowling around Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and so on. They're really easy to get ahold of and they're quite a lot of them. I would imagine this is one of the reasons why their community is doing so well as they engage and change things based on the feedback they get on a daily basis.

[Teneb]

Oh boy, now I am hyped for Krell.

Also, apparently CA heard the cries of the fandom and is making Surtha Ek start with a chariot, despite not being playable, as a nod the the memes. I'm guessing he'll be like Toddbringer or the Red Duke.

New players will never understand the hell that was autoresolving through every single Norsca battle because of Surtha Ek's Lore of Chariots.

Edit: I frigging love this: https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/6o1ldb/norsca_so_now_the_big_question_is_who_is_everyone/dkdvhus/

We should have destroyed Norsca, every man woman and child, many years ago!

shouting

Enough! Dietershafen is lost, and our northern allies have failed us. Where was the last report of his whereabouts?

My Witch Hunters tell me that his forces have moved to the west, we must expect an attack on Marienburg!

This is nonsense, no attack is coming - Emil von Korden controls the Wasteland. He's not attacking, he's making allies! At this very moment he courts Throgg, the Troll King! The trolls will rise up against us and Troll Country will be lost once more!

Ridiculous! Kislev won't stand for it! Our forces have sole military access to their lands. I believe the attack will come from the Chaos Wastes themselves - he intends to travel across the World's Edge Mountains, and into Ostermark - Sylvania will revolt, and sweep across from the east

Thats wild speculation!

He will come not from the north, nor the east - our traders in the north report that he has forged an alliance with the Fimir of Albion. He intends to circumnavigate the Empire and sail his army-

To the Badlands perhaps!

He would lose half his army to attrition alone! The other half would desert!

We must defend Blackfire Pass!

Do you expect the orcs to welcome him when he arrives?

I suppose he will bring with him, an army of Chariots!

Elector Counts, I dare say that would be quite a feat, even for the great Surtha Ek.

For the non-ultra Total War gay fanboys like myself, this is a revision of the Rome 2 trailer that I'm actually still kinda salty about BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SUCH THING WHEN ROME 2 LAUNCHED. WTF CA.

[Mech#4]

Along with a sale on a bunch of Games Workshop games on Steam, a small piece of content has been released for free adding the skeletal sidekick Krell as a Raise Dead-like summon for Heinrich Kemmlar. Krell also comes with his own skill tree branch within Kemmlar's own.


For those of you following things, this is the "Old Friend" content that has been mentioned for the past few months.

[Tack]

I was pretty irate that Ghorst got a wight king and Kemmler didn't.
Ropable even.

[umiman]

Whoa, Krell is strong as hell. Too bad he has that summoning thing where he basically a lot of hp over time.
