Combined map

[assarhadon]

"The Trilogy!

What do I get if I own both WARHAMMER I and WARHAMMER II?
If you own both games you get 3 huge campaign maps; the original one featuring the Old World, a new one featuring the New World and the Vortex, and a Combined Campaign map featuring both of those areas joined together. If you own any DLC or Free-LC for WARHAMMER I (like the Chaos Warriors, Wood Elves and Beastmen, or Lord Packs) you’ll also still have access to their unique narrative campaigns of course, and will be able to play as those races in both the Old World campaign and the new Combined Campaign.

What’s going on with the mega combined campaign you talked about before?
For owners of both WARHAMMER I and WARHAMMER II, our first content release shortly after launch (free of course) will be a vast, combined campaign map representing the geographical areas of both games in a single map. This will allow you to start epic campaigns as any owned race (including any DLC races you own). This will be shortly after launch, weeks not months, and will be our very first content release.

Why won’t the Combined Campaign be available right at launch?
The Vortex campaign, with its dedicated narrative, unique features, mechanics and flavour, is a big project in its own right. The Combined Campaign will be truly vast. Each requires significant playtesting and balancing. This being the most complex Total War campaign we will have released to date, we’d like to plan have a short period of open beta testing just before we release it, this requires WARHAMMER II to be out and for players to be familiar with all the new races and features.

How will the third game add to this?
We will let you know in due course.

Across the whole Total War: Warhammer trilogy, each instalment will stand alone as its own game, each with its own discrete campaign. We’re a couple of weeks out from part II launching, and we’re stoked about how the Eye of the Vortex campaign is going down. It’s been fascinating to hear how our test groups and reviewers, Youtubers and livestreamers are reacting to this new type of endgame in Total War, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on it soon.

We’ve long spoken about our end-goal for the Total War: Warhammer trilogy: to realise the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world in the most complete and detailed way as possible. All those races from 8th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles with army books, each with their own starting positions, all playable in the kind of holistic, mega-sandbox of Warhammer joy nobody has ever attempted before.

We also said we’d do this in three stages: part one would cover the geographical area of the Old World. Parts two and three would explore other geographical areas and races. Shortly after Warhammer II launches, owners of both parts one and two will get to play a key part of that grand vision with our first FreeLC download: Total War: WARHAMMER – Mortal Empires.

Mortal Empires will sit alongside The Old World and Eye of the Vortex as an epic fantasy strategy experience, a playable campaign in its own right, accessed through the Warhammer II menu. We’ll be taking the iconic territory of the Old World you know from the first game and expanding outwards to the West, taking in key territories from Lustria, the Southlands, Naggaroth and Ulthuan to massively expand the playable area. It’s not a straight stitch-‘n’-fit job, and it can’t be – the Old World and Eye of The Vortex campaign maps are designed to be standalone; they’re different shapes and don’t ‘fit together’. Also, no Vortex story mechanics here: this is pure conquest, with all the playable races and factions we’ve released so far (plus a ton of AI controlled ones) vying for dominance across the continents.

By the end of the trilogy, we intend there to be 5 massive campaigns to choose from across all three parts:

The Old World Included in Warhammer I
Eye of the Vortex Included in Warhammer II
Mortal Empires Free Campaign for Owners of Parts 1 & 2
Warhammer III’s Main Campaign Included in Warhammer III
A Very Big Campaign* Free Campaign for Owners of Parts 1, 2 & 3"

"Will there be a combined map for owners of all three games?
Yes, though currently our focus is on Total War: WARHAMMER III.
We will release a massive combined map that will be a huge free DLC for owners of all three games, and we’ll have more detail later.
Note that you will need to own all three parts of the trilogy through a single store front in order to claim this free DLC. Please see above for details."

Mortal Empires was a much-loved addition to Total War: WARHAMMER II, and Update 2.0 will introduce the first iteration of the game mode to WARHAMMER III. Officially known as Immortal Empires, the mode will merge the maps and factions from all three WARHAMMER games (for those who own them) into one: allowing you to deploy the faction(s) you love across a massive combined battlefield

Imagine being on Steam and being mad that you paid a higher price than peoples that get stuff 6 months to 1 year after you. I've seen games that didn't work well go half price in about two months post release.

[Urist Microcline]

Yes, this is why the change frustrates me. I'm angry I was lied to. It's not that complicated. Sales don't make me mad because sales are something that regularly happen and are expected. That's the big difference between this and sales, CA didn't say for years that Total War Warhammer would never go on sale.

[Elitewrecker PT]

Still with this?
By the way you double pasted part of the post.

[Ashley]

OP will never get over it and at this point it's getting to be funny to me. Are you trying to make me laugh?

[Funky Monk]

Your point?

Let alone how many indie devs shelved original title, took money and nearly immediately release a second game expecting pay up for fixes and issues never resolved with first one.

Folks, these are the good problems to have in life. Also, changing your mind isn’t lying if telling truth at the time. Things change, people change, deal with it and grow up while at it.

You weren't lied to, wth? They didn't plan this. The community asked for it, petitions asked for it, with plenty signatures, and some of their big streamers went on record saying that CA should do it. At that point, it would have been worse for them, PR wise, NOT to do it. Imagine a majority of your community wanting something and you ignore it because a smaller group of people want it to be their toy only

Didnt you already have a thread about this?

I think this is like his 3rd or 4th thread.
I don't understand how something he hates so much can live rent free in his head.

Prices for things change. Water is wet. More News at 11.

Wow, credit where credit is due, one has to appreciate dedication....

you should be glad that you cannot understand it :)

[Imposter]

What does the lie mean in the overall situation? Why is the lie significant, OP? I am asking about the perception and reality about it, and for the company going forward.
