Total War: WARHAMMER 2 / Curse of the Vampire Coast Trailer

It was the undying lord Luthor Harkon that laid claim to a stretch of Lustria’s east coast. Ever since, it has been a domain where the dead stir, leading expeditions into the jungle interior or setting sail across the Great Ocean to commit wanton acts of piracy. But the insane Arch-Commodore Harkon is not the only unliving admiral who takes to the seas with pistol-armed crews of zombies, vampiric depth guard, syreens and mournguls… there are other pirate lords who command dreadfleets of their own, packed to the gunwales with crews press-ganged into eternal service...

Naha Luthor would have to be sane to do that, as we all know that’s not the case ,after the cut I presume the soldier was shot in the shoulder and then get torned by both mourngul and the zombie at the same time ,it would be out of character for Luthor to be merciful

Backstory time - when Luthor Harkon says "we", he in fact means just himself. Years ago he found and tried to lay hands on a powerfull Slaan artifact, but the item backfired and ruined his mind and body, diminishing his magical prowess greatly, and shattering his psyche into dozens of personalities. He became truly and utterly mad, but manages to focus on one goal, that burns bright in his mind - to get any and all magical artifacts from the ruins of the Lizardmen, in hope some, or all of them will cure his affliction.

He did nothing, he didn't plan anything nor did he solve anything. British Navy was pointless too. That strange witch was of no use as a character either. We're given no reason why Salazar and his crew would be cursed (that being the devil triangle means nothing without explanation). Why Jack giving up the compass would free them from that place has no explanation whatsoever, plus they retconned the way Jack obtained it. Tia Dalma gave it to him, not a dying old captain who had no reason to exist since Jack was supposed to be already the captain of the Wicked Wench (former Black Pearl).

GW decided to go for some abstract W40k-like stuff with Warhammer fantasy. They completely forgot the fun potential of the Warhammer universe. They did the same mistake they did with Blood Bowl. Would be great if TWW reminded them the meaning of "fun".

[@scelonferdi]

They just looked at the numbers and saw that Warhammer Fantasy Battles sales were pretty bad (having beeen in decline for quite some time) and that 40k worked very well financially. And so they "reinvented" fantasy to be more like 40k and offer an easy entry into the Hobby so they could broaden their customer base.

[@commandermcnash5137]

Actually Age of Sigmar can allow them to do such a thing, since Vampires are already there, in fact, it would be an excellent option for an Order vs Death oceanic oriented campaign involving the Idoneth, the Kharadron and Vampire Pirates. Except for Tomb Kings and Bretonnia everything you see in WFB can be done in AoS, and it may yet be that the former can just be some sort of Shysh civilization while the later could be part of the Free Guilds.

[@JollyJoel]

From what I understand as a tabletop 40k player is you can have literally anything as long as it fit within rules, the style and factions are whatever you want.

[@scelonferdi]

@@JollyJoel How so? A battleforged army is definetly not whatever you want.

[@darthralin]

Looking back 2 years later (2 years and 2 days to be exact), this trailer definitely marks the shiny peak of my hype for all things Total Warhammer. I still get excited for and look forward to the new stuff, but this came so out of nowhere and hit every note so perfectly that I'm not sure even a full on Cathay expansion (something I consider to be very cool but very unlikely) can top my excitement from back then.

[@MouldMadeMind]

Ha you were wrong.

[@VergiliosSpatulas]

*Doesn't play Total War Warhammer 2 *Still gets hyped *That's pretty impressive*

[@tristangillis7365]

You really should play. Personally, I'd mark it as my own game of the year. Such a great strategy game.

[@nineballmk2]

I bought most of it last night and playing my first game as dwarf's, Loving it so far!

[@jtr7377]

I strongly recommend it. As someone who has been playing Total War since Medieval 2, Warhammer 2 is a top contender for me (have not made up my mind). It may not be a historical setting (which is not a negative, but people have preferences nonetheless), but hot damn does it itch my desire for diverse army rosters. On a side note, if you get interested in Warhammer lore while you play this game, then be prepared to get lost in Warhammer wiki pages (or even 1d4chan).

[@isaacsherwood8373]

And then you find out there's a warhammer 40K too and your mind just overloads with all the data you have to catch up on

[@hellsurge7872]

My response is a little late, but my suggestion would be to start with the first unless you really want to play as any of the game 2 factions. The first will be cheaper and frequently goes on pretty good sales. Additionally, if you own the first game it unlocks the base factions (Empire, Vampire Counts, Dwarves, and Greenskins) for the second game and unlocks a larger map with all the factions in the second game (which has it's own pros and cons mind).

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

Tileans as fantasy Romans with giant heroic looking statues that walk around and hit stuff when?

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

Well... kinda. Dogs of war are mercenary companies that hire themselves out to all sorts of folks for gold. The Tilean city-states, much like the Italian ones IRL, have a habit of hiring them regularly because of how warlike the place is. However, I could see those city-states having their own armies too. So I could see some kind of Italian city-state/roman/greek fantasy thing with lots of regiments of renown available working for whichever factions end up being placed in Tilea. There'd probably also need to be more settlements there too, two on the Tilean mainland isn't really enough.
