But CA leadership did, and shifted resources away from their proven moneymaker towards a live service game that was practically a Ganker greentext parody of such games that never ended up seeing the light of day.
The fact that it was canceled right before release says alot about the company trying to change. They could have released it, got a few bucks out of it, then just dropped it like a hot potato but instead they took a huge hit in profits, fired a bunch of people within the company and now are trying to re-steer the ship. I'm willing to give them another chance.
Nah, the execs were forced by SEGA to not release it actually. CA's lead executives are fricking moronic, and so is SEGA, but what's happening now is basically just SEGA forcing CA to stop being moronic.
They only would have cancelled it if it was projected to lose money. They'd still have to spend money marketing it/getting it certified for consoles/etc, and if they didn't feel that it would be able to recoup those costs + development costs, they'd be better off cancelling the game to limit their losses.
You forgot dwarves and everyone knew it was delayed after hearing nothing about it and the total craziness after hyenas got canceled also they're adding more content which everyone was complaining about and was really was going to be the standard going forward so I'm happy and most of the YouTube people seem happy.
None. Read some codexes and rulebooks from 4th edition. They have all sorts of interesting lore bits sprinkled around the books, and was the primary way people interacted with the setting before the godawful fanfiction books started coming out.
Total War Warhammer 2. You can play as vampire Counts, Tomb Kings or Vampire Coast. They have a bit of a learning curve to them but they're fun, especially Tomb Kings.

Didn't see that one coming, neat

They also completely removed and refunded the deluxe/dynasty editions, I'm pretty sure the DLC season is just completely axed
Someone suggested that CA should do something similar to what they did with Warhammer and combine Troy, Pharoah, and a hypothetical Babylon (I think, I may be misremembering) game together to make Bronze Age: Total War. That might actually save it.
let me get this straight, the total war team isn't pulling profits? how?
the base game is expensive, it has a hundreds of dlcs, ALL of their products have a TON of reviews indicating a ton of sales
I'm going to try and do a Point presentation of if we're happy or not about news today.
1 Total War people apologize and said they mess With dealing with the community and amount of contact.
2.Phones of Decay is delayed into April but is now plan to have more content because a negative response from shadows of change,
3.The price of Total War Egyptian is going to be lowered.
4. People who already bought the game are going to be refunded and have money put into there Steam account.
5. What was previously planned to be DLC will now be free for Total War Egyptian
6. After holiday you will receive news about new content being added to the previous DLC shadows of change.
How did I do?
What a shitty "apology." Can't trust a thing these frickers say if all they've identified is their recent PR and DLC frickup. WH3 still has bugs that have been acknowledged since WH2 and still has a development cadence of "let's see what shit sticks to the wall." They've tried to implement the same change to Nkari for the past 4 patches. They consistently break shit as they try to fix it.
There's a fundamental lack of direction and care in the studio and until they start axing leadership and probably start spending money on hiring additional staff.
>dwarfs are delayed from December to April >literally no words of what they will add this February
Literally same shit they pulled before chaos dwarfs update
I actually have a fairly active playgroup for this game so I buy on sale Still haven't (and won't) buy Shadows of Change unless it has at least 4 lords/25+ units.
SoS "fix" will probably just include Witches as Lords, Gate keepers as Heroes and remodelling of beastman units for Tzeentch. I'm sure nothing else will be added or remade.
>sorry you don't think Pharoah is worth 60 dollars, we're reducing the price to 40 and giving everyone who bought it 20 dollars back, also the first dlc will be free now
Jesus christ I was cheering for CA to crash and burn for a while but this is one HELL of a show of goodwill.
Too late. They went full "we won't need you incel strategy nerds once Hyenas releases! Suck it lmao". People aren't going to forget.
I'm pretty sure the total war team never cared about hyenas.

consumers are known for their goldfish like memory
3 months?
No, they canceled the game. All is forgiven.
>we're sorry
>we're also delaying the empire and nurgle dlc for 4 more months
Lol
You forgot dwarves and everyone knew it was delayed after hearing nothing about it and the total craziness after hyenas got canceled also they're adding more content which everyone was complaining about and was really was going to be the standard going forward so I'm happy and most of the YouTube people seem happy.
Fix your shit, CA
Looks like another dlc I'm going to creamapi, maybe you should learn what a deadline is.
What makes you think I work for the company?
will they fix the powercreep? place your bets!
Never. It's an authentic recreation of the tabletop experience.
Cool
Sounds like more content for me n
>Muh it's not free
Creamapi
>dec-2023
Man I've been waiting since launch for this shit to be playable. Apparently 4.0 had more bugs than fixes and that was the last I heard.
guys, what game is good as an introduction to the warhammer universe?
Vermintide 2, Total War Warhammer 2.
For 40k, Rogue Trader is really good because it has hyperlinks and tells you a lot about lore
None. Read some codexes and rulebooks from 4th edition. They have all sorts of interesting lore bits sprinkled around the books, and was the primary way people interacted with the setting before the godawful fanfiction books started coming out.
I want to play skeletons(singleplayer)
Which TW warhammer should i buy/pirate?
Total War Warhammer 2. You can play as vampire Counts, Tomb Kings or Vampire Coast. They have a bit of a learning curve to them but they're fun, especially Tomb Kings.
TWWH1 for Skeletons (swords)
TWWH2 for Skeletons (guns)
>Skeletons (guns)
Wtf???
Warhammer 3 with this mod.

When will they learn?
These homies look cool, thanks
Maybe sometimes bad things happen to bad people.
Im still being sceptical but this makes me smile.

>Combine different time periods during the Bronze Age
No
>Combine the map
>Keep the game shared game systems
>Fill the map with factions from a specific period
It wouldn't be a terrible idea.
that was me more than a year ago
they can't pull it off
i only play humans, dwarfes or elves so i don't care
let me get this straight, the total war team isn't pulling profits? how?
the base game is expensive, it has a hundreds of dlcs, ALL of their products have a TON of reviews indicating a ton of sales
because they spent all the profits on the infinite money pits that were HYENAS and TW: Pharoah
>hyenas
you can't tell me anyone thought that would be a good game
Nurgle chads Atleast our dlc will be the last we win
>toehul wah is billshit
wah is billshit
What?
TOEHUL WAH IS BILLSHIT
>SoC will get 2-3 more units
>Still have less than half the content of chaos dwarfs and tomb kings
>"We did it reddit!!!"
Hey now thats like 2 extra Charlemagnes of content dont be greedy.

How did I do?
Could you ask someone with an IQ thirty or so points higher than yours to rewrite your post for you? I'd really appreciate it.
He's an indian shill, please be patient with him
Good morning sirs

Three Kingdoms is my favorite Total War and I'm still a little upset they stopped supporting it.
>dwarfs are delayed from December to April
>literally no words of what they will add this February
Literally same shit they pulled before chaos dwarfs update
they'll fix SoS
it's right there in the blog
>fix
Imagine being this naive. They'll do the absolute bare minimum and you'll thank them for it
I think they'll try
Try to get away with doing the bare minimum? You bet they will!
CA doesn't have to go back to SoS
Yes they do. They know their sunk if they don't. Now get back to work cuck
They know they're sunk if they don't fix SoS properly.
Do you guys actually buy the dlc or pirate it all
I actually have a fairly active playgroup for this game so I buy on sale Still haven't (and won't) buy Shadows of Change unless it has at least 4 lords/25+ units.
SoS "fix" will probably just include Witches as Lords, Gate keepers as Heroes and remodelling of beastman units for Tzeentch. I'm sure nothing else will be added or remade.
>sorry you don't think Pharoah is worth 60 dollars, we're reducing the price to 40 and giving everyone who bought it 20 dollars back, also the first dlc will be free now

Who gives a frick about SoC, Pharaoh is getting a free dlc, playable sea people.
>spearmanii game
I sleep
>seamanii
real shit?
They'll need to add a lot to make SoC worth 25 fricking dollars. I doubt they will.
