[@TheBlazersfan22]

milkandcoookies. do you think you can re create some historic battles in warhammer lore with what you have. this stuff is really great to watch.

[@dudewithlaptop8663]

Do these work in campaign at all?

[@erikthered3836]

THIS is how CA's Warhammer limited siege battles should've looked like - yes, you can't attack from every side of the city BUT there is just so many points to attack even if there are only two sides this battle was a blast

[@kayeka4123]

Sure. With four players at double army sizes. In a standard stack vs stack battle, large swaths of this map would've been completely irrelevant.

[@erikthered3836]

with the giant towns in rome 1, 2 and Medieval 2 I usually did what most players probably don't and camped at the very last few key choke points - this makes the enemy run all the way through the city, tired as all hell, into your fresh awaiting readied troops in an epic last stand which you can usually win with but a few units

[@silmaril96]

Always did that in Rome 1 with greeks. Could have defeated most of the army with couple of hoplite units, putting them in phalax mode.

[@ryanrose5421]

I agree with you. While there is nothing mechanically wrong with the siege battles, the only thing I have a major issue with are the maps they take place on, everything else I can think of are just nitpicks, such as soldiers just teleporting onto the walls rather than taking some form of stairs.

[@hyena3028]

Ryan Rose ikr. When will CA do something about soldiers teleporting onto the walls. Archers chased by a Cold One Knight? Teleport to the wall. They can't get us there.

[@Hargrovius]

I will never change my stance on the Dreadquake. It's stupid.

[@paladinshark2448]

Honesty Cataph is pretty much a developer at this point. I've gotten more enjoyment and play out of the Norse Dwarves than most base races. Outstanding work on all of his mods. Hope CA gives him credit where do.

[@pinoarias8601]

Agreed, I have played several Southern Realms and Norse Dwarfs campaigns and am playing an Estallian campaign atm. His mods are simply fantastic, top work.

[@glimmerxp]

pino arias are they in the steam workshop ?

[@paladinshark2448]

GlimmerXP yes. His two main mods are Kraka Drak and The southern realms, which pimp out the two respective factions with new technology, units, legendary lords, mechanics, even some story elements

[@funguide1]

That dreadquake artillery is stupid. It got more kills than every other siege artillery. They need to nurf it to 2 or 3 max shots.

[@SebHaarfagre]

They need to reduce the radius by AT LEAST 25%, and reduce damage by the same amount. 6 shots~. You CAN NOT have something that gives you this big of a tactical advantage. (It's not only the destruction awe, but the ability to change the battle outcome of ANY battle ANYWHERE on the map.)

[@SebHaarfagre]

OR keep as is, but increase missile flying time about 5 times (at the VERY least 3, and nerf some other aspects) so that if you get hit, it's mostly your own fault for not paying attention to it.

[@AJCherenkov]

Honestly, chaos dwarves generally seemed OP in this game, the destroyer seems like the result of a 3-way between a gorebull, a mammoth, and a mortis engine

[@rs0h746]

You really make the best cinematic TW warhammer content Indy, keep up the great work!

[@stuffums]

That dreadquake mortar is like a cheat code

[@spencergalland5754]

Swole Kot it did t kill that many. Most got up

[@spencergalland5754]

Nope I’m wrong . Needs neef

[@DustinBarlow8P]

According to the source book, it is supposed to take like an hour to reload each shot. If they just trimmed down the firing speed I think it wouldn't be that bad to handle.

[@SebHaarfagre]

After 5 min. I had to comment.. WTF is that Dreadquake Mortar? Without going into depth, it seems waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overpowered. Kinda like a Luminark in small scale/funds battles, except it this mortar can be exploited hard vs dwarves, that more or less ONLY have infantry...

[@imperialwizard5145]

That one cannon is the most cancerous thing I’ve ever seen

[@alexsitaras6508]

I think that the French Vampires and Norse Dwarfs really could make for some fun start positions and CA is missing out on not officially fleshing those factions out. Hopefully after game 3's content they will go back to spruce up the older games.

[@DustinBarlow8P]

The sky is the limit once 3 has released. If they flesh out the entire Warhammer world enough, I may never need to play another game ever again!

[@ryanprati1099]

Please do more custom map battles! These are amazing!

[@omganotherun]

Watching that Dreadquake mortar in action... were that in the core game, I wouldn't even bother playing. That thing is just feels-bad trash.

[@danielkorladis7869]

It probably will be in the core game in the third part of the trilogy.

[@jiado6893]

When CA does implement the Dawi Zharr, I fiercely want them to have their gaudy bright red and gold colors, and Mesopotamian style armor. The stuff that Forgeworld has produced in recent years is gunmetal grey and just feels lifted from Isengard in the Jackson movies.

[@danielkorladis7869]

That's quite a shame. The red and gold is kinda the Dawi Zharr's color scheme. Would be like Wood Elves not having earth tone everything.

[@joshoconnor2784]

Wow, the defenders... could you play any worse? Hellstorm cannon shots to the face. The amount of charging forward, than stopping and retreating, than stopping, and charging forward again, and again retreating, seemingly for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

[@Khainite]

Fantastic siege battle. It's great to see the Chaos and Norse Dwarfs get some exposure, and this map is probably one of the best I've seen. CA should take notes from the modding community on how to do sieges. It's a shame the Chaos Dwarfs haven't been ported over to TWW2 yet, but I'm still hopeful someone will take it upon themselves and do it. I don't want to wait until game 3 to get my Dawi Zharr into some fights.

[@OGdutch973]

This map is awesome! And what a battle, I can only hope the Chaos Dwarves get added into TW:W2 at some point. I wish all siege maps were as great as this one.. Or even a quarter of them.. an eighth maybe? lol Your siege battle videos are the best.

[@williamjugo1312]

I bet the norscans are crying in a corner thinking why wereny we invited to join this invasion :(

[@markzuckerbergthanos]

Looking at the Mortal Empires map, it looks like the Darklands are going to be a DLC at some point. On the other side of the World's Edge Mountains, you can navigate the camera to the Darklands area, but can't see anything because of the FOW. Reminds me of Athel Loren in the first game, before the Wood Elves were released. It would also make sense if they had a separate campaign with the Darklands and the World's Edge Mountains, where it would be a showdown between the Dwarves/Chaos Dwarves. That would be fuckin cool.

[@milkandcookiesTW]

I think its fair to assume Ogre Kingdoms and Chaos Dwarfs will be coming in game 3, probably as headlining factions. Doesnt make much sense to add them in game 2 considering they couldnt logically fit on the Great vortex campaign map and CA needs to hold on to content if they want to sell game 3

[@markzuckerbergthanos]

I agree it would make more sense for it to be in game 3 assuming they are going to move forward with the Vortex Campaign being the 'main' campaign for game 2, although imo ME has replaced the Vortex as the 'grand campaign'. It is interesting to me why the Darklands are the only area in the ME map where they didn't abruptly cut the map off, but then again they have people smarter than me with both map design and Warhammer lore so they must have their reasons. Oh well, just fun to speculate.

[@x0Z0Ax]

I agree completely, I even commented something to the same effect. The ME map is lacking 1/6 of its total area, covering the Darklands. I get it they will market the 3rd game as the Chaos game, but still... loosing a large chunk of the long awaited ME map is still a light "kick in the balls". It's all prep work for the third game it seems, they are already giving us the cookie dough and we know they'll eventually bake it.

[@jiado6893]

I would hope that the third game extends much further into the Eurasian continent, considering the second one gave as the entire Atlantic Ocean and three full continents. And when CA does implement the Dawi Zharr, I fiercely want them to have their gaudy bright red and gold colors, and Mesopotamian style armor. The stuff that Forgeworld has produced in recent years is gunmetal grey and just feels lifted from Isengard in the Jackson movies

[@DustinBarlow8P]

[@hanktrim4302]

Wow! Nice work guys! Simply epic. I can't wait until the Chaos Dwarfs are actually in the game. The eastern kingdoms should all by very fun in TWW3.

[@JL-ti3us]

Idea for the Slave units of the Chaos Dwarf units is that they will not have upkeep; but the full number of the unit will slowly decline over time till they are put in a settlement again. And in comparison; Chaos Dwarf units themselves could be ungodly expensive.

[@jacobw.9342]

[@desertbomber]

Cataphs Mod does make them playable in Campaign. You do need the Faction Unlocker to actually play them but they are equipped with their own Units + some regular dwarf units, Leaders, Research Tree and some Unique Buildings.

Chaos dwarfs.... You know a faction can´t be too smart if they keep trying to enslave Orcs...

[@SH4D0W0733]

They didn't stop at enslaving orcs and goblins. They felt their orcs were too weak and dumb, so they magically turned orcs into Black orcs, who were stronger, smarter and more independant.

[@Gobblin_Goblin]

agh god damn, this has me psyched for Chaos Dwarfs. too bad if we are gonna see them, it probably won't be until the next game...

[@ticktock479]

Don't think I've watched all of these but I'm yet to actually see one of these where the defenders win. Think too much emphasis is being put on walls when the points are being allocated. Leaves the attackers with far too many troops.

[@CptCh4os]

The K'Daai Destroyer has 75 armor? Isn't it MADE of metal?

[@Kamehameha350]

Oneiros lol I think it was broken enough with the 75 armor tho; if they gave it more it’d be unkillable

[@CptCh4os]

Does ot have that "little" armor in the Table Top too? I mean that *is* balanced isn't it?

[@Kamehameha350]

Oneiros I’ve never actually played the tabletop, so fair enough I suppose. I was just watching it walk through 3 slayer units like they weren’t there, and thought if it could do that and was super armored it’d take an army to kill it

[@CptCh4os]

I am often wondering that if something seems OP... how was it balanced in the table top? But unfortunately I never played it either

[@oneringtorulethemagicarp7199]

[@subatomicseal7789]

I honestly have to disagree with everyone saying this is how Total Warhammer's siege battles should be. Like, yeah they should be like this for faction capitals and multiplayer battles, but if *every* siege battle was like this? It might just be me, but that'd get exhausting real quick.

[@captaintrainer9490]

If only CA took the time to create a unique Siege map for every Settlement, thats close to lore, because Altdorf in the lore is supposed To be nearly impenetrable, but the Siege map is just like any other Empirial City, A complete joke. I get it that many unique cities In the lore, but still give Some key-location like, Altdorf, Lothern, SkavenBlight, Hellpit, Karaz-A-Karak, a ruined Karak-Eight Peaks Some unique design (I know what else is grim-dark, that CA avoided so hard in this game) Raping Orks and BeastMen yep... it would a much darker Age for the Empire, Bretonnia and elves, that their already getting their armies Spinal rape by Shrek Followers and Failed Abortion of Beastmen, getting rape by one in much worse

[@darthodin9736]

i think they should lower that dreadquake cannon projectile speed( i know its a mod) so u can actually have time to react if ur paying attention and if your not you get rekted by it

[@milkandcookiesTW]

Thats how it works currently. In siege battles on a map like this its hard to dodge cuz so much is happening at once and there are so many natural chokepoints. In a regular 1v1, on a normal land battle map, its quite easy to dodge. I made a video demonstrating it awhile back. Dreadquake is honestly not very good in a normal 1v1 fight

yes, but he's referring to specific named characters like N'kari. There are only a few examples of specific characters that are in both universes. Off the top of my head, Ku'gath, Skarbrand, N'kari, and Bel'akor are some of the few in both 40k and Fantasy

[@Admiralkirk95]

They probably won't but I hope CA goes an extra step on TW warhammer 3 and makes legitimate seige maps like this. Whether it's for scenario battles only(Lord special missions), I could live with that but seriously, it's it's kinda embarassing that the fans have been making maps like this for two games now and CA can barely cobble together the seiges we have now in base game. It's nice that they've given the community the tools to do cool stuff like this, but it shows just how easy it is too. These guys are taking the resources you already have and making better maps than you and they aren't even being paid. It's embarassing. Imagine what the actual devs could do if they attempted to do this and actually created new resources and models for the purpose of making maps like this? But you know they will release a 'siege map pack' and it will be 20 dollars..... and lower quality, somehow.

Chaos dwarfs are desperately needed in game 2. There is a massive hole in the map that covers their lands. All that land is being wasted. The long awaited Mortal Empires map feels a bit lacking when a sixth of its land area is not used. I don't think I'm exaggerating when saying this, 1/6 of the map is nothingness, just open the game, load a campaign and zoom out all the way, 1/6 of the entire thing is just unusable. So I hope chaos dwarfs are one of the factions added to this game, but it's unlikely, since CA might want to make game 3 all about Chaos and Chaos oriented factions.

[@megafish3798]

DellKaz CHAOS dwarfs won't be in a game focused around CHAOS? Hmm

[@x0Z0Ax]

As I said, CA will most likely put them in game 3, but that doesn't change the fact that 1/6 of the Mortal Empires Map is useless. And CA better do a better job on the 3rd game and not have the same "can't port a faction over to the new game" debacle, as what happened to Norsca which seems like it's going to come out only next year at this rate. When the 3rd game comes out, they already have the world map made, they just need to add the factions in.

[@megafish3798]

DellKaz You seem to not understand what I just said. You said a game focused on chaos would not have a faction that has the name chaos in it.

[@x0Z0Ax]

And clearly I still don't. At the end of my first comment I said I would like for Chaos Dwarfs to be in the 2nd game but that it would be unlikely, because CA probably wants to make game 3 about Chaos and Chaos Oriented Factions exclusively. You pointed out that Chaos Dwarfs are pretty much certain to be in the 3rd game and I agree, it is the most likely event to occur, and I said so in my first comment, so what am I missing?
