Hello everyone!

Warhammer 2 is here and so is Radious mod for it! Our Team is hard working very much to deliver you once again best quality and most enjoyable mods you know for so long already! It will be again long process, many many things must be done and we will explain you in this article what it will be and what we already did for you!

First is very much needed to say, that community modding tools which are essential for any proper modding must be fuly updated and new schemas uploaded so we can fully dive into modding of Warhammer 2, hopefully this will be done within few days.

Now how we will be making things in WH2:

1. Adapting to Radious style all new Warhamer 2 content (4 races, effects, AI, buildings, recruitment, scripts, techs, traits and milion other things).
2. Porting from WH 1 to WH 2 all our content created for Warhammer 1 (all stuff pretty much + all our custom units).
3. Once first 2 steps will be done we will start making new custom units for WH 2 factions - Lizardmen, Skaven, Dark and High Elves we have very detailed lore articles about potential new units for these factions, so we will pick units from them).

As you can see, all this is extreme amount of work for our small team, so if you want to help a bit and speed up things slightly, please consider supporting us here - https://www.patreon.com/Team_Radious

And now to the actual mod release!
