Price

[Sch4bern4ck]

Does this game really cost around 390 euro to get all the content in Immortal Empires ?

Majority of all that content your seeing is from the previous 2 games too.

In my dollars, Cdn, it would be around 330-350, and that's at full retail on steam, so I don't think 390 euros is right, too much. Not sure where you are seeing that?

And, no one should buy it at full price anyway, sales you can save 1/2.

You can save even more than 50%. Tww1 and 2 go down to like 25%.

Also its fairly pointless to buy all DLCs straight away, as you can't play them all at once. DLCs are only unlockers for the player.

Nobody tell him how much the models cost

I don't think you need 1 and 2 anymore. You just need 3, and all the DLC?

You can play IE with only 3.

Idk if it truly matters if you buy tww1 as game or as dlc.
At least the way i understood you need to own it in either form to get the basecontent of 1 and 2.

You can play IE regardless. Just buy what you want; there's no need to buy everything at once. The blog post about the change making IE available to all WH3 owners breaks down what purchases get you what. What else matters at this point? If the price is too much for you still, then shop sales or third parties.

If you want to play the base game lords you have to.
For example to play as Tyrion or Karl Franz you still need 1 & 2 to access them.

Hah, yes part of my original post contained reference to the models and paints lol, and how Warhammer is a hobby that people have been willing to shell out for over the years. I figured it was just rambling so i deleted it

Cheaper to buy a 3d printer instead X_X

I'm reporting you to GW.

Haven't double checked the price you mentioned, but if you buy it on sales or legit stores outside of steam (that still sell steam keys) you can get it much cheaper.

I'd would also like to point out that there is no need to buy all the content. You get everything included as enemies regardless, you only need to buy content you want to play personally.

And finally, when we say all the content we are talking:
- 23 Races (Admittedly with some overlap. Some units being shared and one race, while having some unique mechanics, basically being a combination/mix of other races without unique units)
- 86 Legendary lords with their own factions and mechanics (Some just having some unique skills and small buffs, others having completely unique mechanics and campaigns)

So it's not like its a small amount of content for the price tag.

The content is alot but its also 6 years worth. Plus most of it isn't necessary for most players. Like race packs which are the most expensive aren't gonna appeal to everyone. Get on YouTube and see which packs appeal to you, you do not need them all.

And also no need to buy a lord pack for a race you don't enjoy. Basically there's a lot of content but I would say buy what you want not just to own it all.

[leandrombraz]

It's expensive to own everything, but you don't need to buy everything at once. Your experience will be the same as someone that owns everything, as long as you own all the DLCs that add stuff to the race you're playing. Considering that there are 80+ campaigns on IE, you can just buy all the DLCs for the races you're the most interested in, then buy the rest over time on sales.

Use the page below to see which DLCs add stuff to which race, and buy only what you can buy:

This is the really important point.
None of the DLC is needed. You will literally get no benefit from DLC for races you aren't playing. Even then, unless you are wanting to play as a DLC Legendary Lord, you are only getting a few units for that races roster, and most races have enough base units that you won't really feel the loss of those units (with skaven being the only one that kinda wants at least 1 DLC to feel good). If you buy all the DLC at once (particularly the race packs) it might be 100s or 1000s of hours before you play as those lords, and in fact, there will likely be DLC that you never get a single benefit from, for example, if you never get around to playing as wood elves or norsca.

I would strongly advise only buying DLC during sales, and only the ones that are relevant to the Lords that you are wanting to play before the next sale (tends to be every ~2 months).
The bundles will be a pretty good deal, if they go on sale with everything else, and if you are convinced that you'll be spending 1000 hours with the game. But most people aren't going to be in that boat.

Only buy the dlc that you are interested in.
