Total War thread

Since Rich Aldridge is involved with the End Times I would assume that it is in an infinitely better state than WH3 at launch or Shadows of Change.

I've the slightest dose of hopium. Wouldn't be surprised if this was delayed to fall/winter though.

At this point I just desperately want them to work on and expand the base Empire roster. Cathay and Kislev both hilariously power crept them, especially when it comes to line infantry.

Yeah they've made Cathay and kislev retard-proof with the infantry buffs. Otherwise chaos warriors would rape the mouthdroolers using kossar/peasant stacks. I doubt this will change.

Not sure if they'll adjust the empire stats but they will get new units probably all related to Boris/Ulric.

Seriously, Tzeentch is so underwhelming that I have only played that faction less than five times over the course of multiple years. They better fucking add him. He's been requested for years, easily one of the top five most requested characters.

I really like Tzeentch but the way they work in WH3 is not great to be honest. And it's a slap in the face of people that they haven't rectified the missing third lord.
But they also need to rework the tech tree and so on, and I am not sure both things will happen at this point.

But I have also heard that The End Times won't be the end of support for TWW3 and that there are likely more DLCs to come

That's what CA is saying, if 3K is anything to go by that statement means nothing. There have been data leaks and speculations since there is quite a bit of stuff that they could add as lord packs, but we will see.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was delayed to fall/winter though.

That is probably the most realistic outcome. With how massive the DLC sounds and even with the brutal delays of past DLC I don't think they can deliver a quality product until the end of August. But the can't just announce a delay since that would negatively affect public perception for the billionth time. Probably towards August we will get a blog or stream and the delay.

Still pissed they listened to the whiners on how muh Kislev and muh chinks required buffs when they're both just fine as they were (don't spam kossars only like a retard, mix with strelsi and tzar guards to bulk them up). If anything I thought the Kislev cavalry that weren't bears were weak as fuck even though they were supposedly a big part of their culture.

Data leaks also means nothing. People saw files for additional Amazonian units in Rome 2 and speculated that they'll probably add them as mercs in the new update. In the end none of them will be implemented and the "big" update for Rome 2 is just a glorified mod that'll break other mods.

There was a time in my life where I really enjoyed these games, however the combat AI is pretty retarded and so every fight becomes the same once you figure out the optimal army composition for your faction. I really wish there was a difficulty slider for campaign mode and battle mode, because I wouldn't mind giving the AI an advantage on the campaign board since it's pretty terrible at that, but not on the battle board. Or at least have the AI vanities in the Battle board be something other than their units just having more health and doing more damage than mine

Campaign and battle modifiers in TWW3 have been separate since launch, iirc. You can have AI with insane campaign modifiers and tons of army stacks but no buffs to their armies otherwise.

Sure those don't guarantee anything. But they can be a hint towards additional content that is being worked upon. Both Chaos Dwarfs and Neferata had data files and leaks years ago.
