Norsca Faction Concept (Ambitious, with graphics!)
So I made this concept about half a year ago just for funsies, but never posted it. Due to recent movement from the CA team it seems possible that Norsca could be the last faction pack for the first game.
It seems to make a lot of sense to add Norsca at this point. They have a presence in game 2 and could be a tie-in DLC that unlocks them in both games. Game 2 also have a heavy emphasis on seafaring, which Norsca are known for. Slave-focused economy will most likely be a mechanic both Dark Elves and Norsca shares, and the new Rogue Army concept works perfectly for the Norsca region, seeing how it is known for being inhabited by dangerous roaming monsters and animals in the lore.
So this is my imagining of what the Norscan campaign, roster and mechanics could look like.
I have arranged this post in the following way:
1. Faction and Campaign mechanics
2. Roster
3. Buildings
4. Tech Tree
1. Norscan Warfare - Represents the various aspects of how the Norscan tribes battle and raid
2. Northern Wilds - Represents the traditions and wilderness of the Norscan regions
3. Worship - Optional tree for those that want to approach the Chaos Gods. All of these technology options have a base turn cost of 20+ turns. By gathering Chaos Favor, the speed of this technology tree increases, allowing you to quicker reap the harvest of the gods blessings.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my interpretation, leave a comment if you like!

Not all Norscan tribes serve Chaos. My goal was to give the player the option of playing Norsca the way they want to, using the Tech Tree as well as Chaos Favor to decide whether or not they want to strive for allegiance with Chaos. Will you try to gain their favor and access to chaos units such as Chaos Spawn, while upgrading your basic units to Chaos Warriors, at the cost of severe diplomacy issues with the rest of the world? Or do you want to separate yourself from Chaos, enabling you to easier make allies with other factions?
2. Roster
3. Buildings
4. Tech Tree
The Technology tree is divided into three different sectors.1. Norscan Warfare - Represents the various aspects of how the Norscan tribes battle and raid
2. Northern Wilds - Represents the traditions and wilderness of the Norscan regions
3. Worship - Optional tree for those that want to approach the Chaos Gods. All of these technology options have a base turn cost of 20+ turns. By gathering Chaos Favor, the speed of this technology tree increases, allowing you to quicker reap the harvest of the gods blessings.

Re: Will Part 1 also get the Settlement Slots update?
Just a correction as I see this pop up everywhere lately.
Minor settlements remain at 4 slots.
Small province capitals (Those you currently see in Norsca) go from 4 to 6 slots.
Regular province capitals get an increase from 6 to 8 slots (1/2/3/5/7 secondary slots).
Special province capitals (Altdorf etc) go from 6 to 10 slots (2/4/6/8/9 secondary slots).
Athel Loren locations go from 10 to 12 slots (3/5/7/9/11 secondary slots)
This is for game 2 only and there will be new buildings, legendary and otherwise.

Re: Total War: Warhammer Memes thread

Re: When? Seriously CA
when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
when the rivers run dry and the mountains blow in the wind, like leaves.

CA appreciation letter
Note: This post was originally posted in the discussion section on Steam. Someone suggests that I should move it to the official forum so that CA members can see it. Hence the repost.
Dear CA staff,
I just heard that Warhammer II’s preorder is out, and felt very excited about it. I absolutely love the first game, and has been really looking forward to the second one. So as soon as I heard the news, I came to steam to check out the game. Despite my excitement and joy, I was shocked by the overwhelming hatred in the discussion section. Some complained about the price, some complained about DLCs, and some complained about not having a historical game, although you just mentioned days ago that a team is currently working on one.
I sat in my chair and contemplated on these comments. I felt sorry that you had to go through this kind of hostility. I remembered that two weeks ago when I presented my work on a telecon, despite hundreds of hours I put into this project, one collaborator said that it was all useless. A comment like this will neither improve the project nor help advance the group collaboration. It just hurts people. Fortunately for me, later my supervisor told me that I did an excellent job, and that guy was just ignorant and never was a good team player. He will pay for his actions.
Unfortunately, we live in the age of internet, where people can be mean and harmful without consequences. Some people accumulate a lot of pressure through daily life, and simply have to yell at someone to blow up steams. Others may not realize how much time and effort go into a big project before it comes to fruition. Admittedly, no game is (or will be) perfect. Yet suggestions can be made in a peaceful manner, instead of cringed in resentment. Those hateful words do not really improve a game. Whether on purpose or not, it just hurts people.
Nevertheless, please don’t be disheartened by these comments. Players like me appreciate all the work you put into the Warhammer series. After a stressful day of work, I always enjoy diving into this fantasy world, filled with artistic drawings and wild imaginations. Every time I command the Empire troops with shiny armor, or the brave dwarves with amazing artillery, or the brutal beastman with fearsome minotaur, they remind me how much I love this game. Sometimes it gives me a good laugh when I win a legendary battle, and sometimes it makes me nervous when I am outnumbered and surrounded by elven outposts that multiply like rabbits (before the patch that is), but almost always it allows me to forget frustrations from work and struggles from life. Isn’t that what games are for? To allow us to escape from all the burden we need to carry during the day, and to give us a good time in a world full of adventures, stories, excitement, and joy. Please know that your work has made a soul happy, his heart lightened, and his life better.
It is expensive to do anything in the world these days. It can cost thirty dollars for a taxi ride that lasts twenty minutes, it can cost fifty dollars for a meal that lasts for six hours, and it can cost a hundred dollars for a hotel room that lasts for twelve hours. Asking for sixty dollars for a full-fledged game that lasts more than sixty hours is totally not unreasonable, and from the look of the first game, I have faith in you that you will make something worth the price. I’m by no standard wealthy, but I shall support future Warhammer games as much as my wallet allows. Please continue the wonderful work, and know that it is meaningful and being appreciated.
Best regard,
An earnest and thankful gamer

Re: Anyone else put off by the price?
Really dont see any issue with the price. It is the same as Warhammer 1 and adds the same amount of content plus extending Warhammer 1. The campaign mechanics have changed quite alot with the Vortex Campaign and all the new race campaign features which look more worked on than game 1.
It is basically four faction packs with a massive campaign instead of 4 different ones, which would cost £68 if priced like DLC. So I actually think it is a very good deal.
Price is very subjective though, £40 for one person is nothing ( not even enough for a good meal out) while to other people it represents a large part of there disposable income.
