    Because it's an updated and upgraded version. It's better than TW:W2. The fact alone that you don't need previous games to play Immortal Empires makes it better.

          Aye. But if you want to play any non-game 3 faction then you will have to buy one of the previous games and/or their DLCs if you want to say play as Tomb Kings or Vampirates.

            You still have to purchase every single dlc from previous games if you want to play as every lord. You are locked to a total of 5 (five) lords only in base game warhammer 3 with dozens of lords unplayable until you purchase the dlc.
            And no, cream.api is not an excuse when the majority of morons dont use it

            Yeah, that's obvious. You can play IE with TWW3 lords.

            its a worse version of wh2. buggy unoptimized mess. Do not buy it. Just play wh2. Especially since wh3 support ends this year thanks to CA killing themselves after hyenas and pharaoh flop

            It's straight superior. Significantly improved sieges alone make it better. Improved diplomacy, allied units and qol features make it better. More enemies to kill make it better. Full sized world map makes it better. New provinces in already existing map make it better. Alive modding community which now also works on new campaign maps is better. Reworked factions make it better. Chaos Warriors in particular are now playable. New mechanics make it better. It's an improvement in every way.

                For example, praising sieges and "new" provinces in old ones. No one thought the new sieges were an upgrade, theyre boring. A new layout didnt change the AI siege behavior. And the "new" provinces are mostly old ones condensed

                How? Not considering online play against a real human. The AI does the same exact shit every time just like 2

                How is this a shill post? TWW3 is simply better mechanically. It's an improvement in this regard. Previous two Warhammer games have those utter abomination 1-wall sieges. It alone makes them unplayable and redundant now that better version is available. There is no way that I will ever return to those.

                This does not excuse CA's moronation with Hyenas, other secret projects, bugs, Realms of Chaos being so terribly designed that it made game unplayable until IE released (which was late anyway), underwhelming dlcs and updates, making Pharaoh nobody asked for, botching design of Kislev and Cathay and other things.
                But yeah, TWW3 is simply better and IE can be played now without a need for other 2 games.

                Just because you "can" play IE without 1 and 2 does not make it better. You still have to purchase the dlc to play any lord besides the handful in 3s base game.
                And the constant bringing up of that IE fact is also suspicious. CA loves to praise themselves for that one too when at IE release you still had to purchase the first games. Only after pushback was it made "free"

                It does. If you want to be a moralgay paypig and you buy 2, you still have to buy 1 to play Mortal Empires. Otherwise you are stuck with Vortex.
                TW:W1 is significantly inferior in terms of content, mechanics and qol by now and was rendered pointless by TWW2 as well.
                TW:W3 is a better deal than TW:W2 and TW:W1 now for moralgays. You have all new stuff from TW:W3 and everything from previous games as enemies and npcs and don't need at all to buy previous games to access giga campaign map

                If you want to creamapie everything then TW:W3 is also better, because you can have everything in price of a single game.
                I have no idea if it's possible to pirate TW:W3 yet, but if it is, then it is too preferable to pirating TW:W2

                >You still have to purchase the dlc to play any lord besides the handful in 3s base game.
                So what? It's this same with any other Total War. Or any game in general. You can't play expansion content without acquiring it somehow, either by buying or pirating. You won't have playable TW:W1 factions in TW:W2 without buying either

                What do you want? That they make dlcs free? Yeah it would be better for customers if everything was free, but it's not going to happen. At best there could be a time gated chance to get one dlc for free. I remember they gave away Grim and the Grave for free once.
                >And the constant bringing up of that IE fact is also suspicious.
                Yes, it's one good decision that they made and it made TW:W3 worth buying now that you don't have to suffer RoC. Game was essentially without a campaign map to play before, RoC is THIS BAD. And disabling Chaos portals shit didn't change much, because layout of the map fricking sucked. There is nothing to do on that campaign map without storyhomosexualry and 1/3 of already small map is simply inaccessible with story disabled. IE becoming free shouldn't need explaining to CA. Mortal Empires also should work this same.

                No one on earth wants to play as the chaos lords, cathay, and kislev every single time. Therefore the DLC is not optional. To enjoy IE you still have to spend hundreds of dollars, so no it isnt "free"
                And muh cream.api isnt an excuse because statistically only third worlders pirate. The majority of people purchase the games and dlc. So while it might be a better option in that scenario it does not represent the full picture.
                Anyone that has spent money on Wh1 and 2 should just keep playing 2. It is objectively a better more filled out experience. Especially considering WH3 has been out for 2 years now and only has 3 dlcs. CA has given up on it. You would be wasting money purchasing it for 10 new lords at best.

                Ah so it's a choice of factions that bother you so. Well, Bretonnia is playable as well and others are up to players preferences.
                >To enjoy IE you still have to spend hundreds of dollars, so no it isnt "free"
                It's free in regard of being playable. I had no care for furgays, scalies, vampirates and mummies but TW:W2 was worth it anyway due to mechanical updates and new content for more interesting TW:W1 races. Same thing with TW:W3
                >Anyone that has spent money on Wh1 and 2 should just keep playing 2.
                I did so and I don't regret updating. I don't want to ever again look on a 1wall sieges and other too many features TW:W3 offers that make it impossible to go back
                >It is objectively a better more filled out experience
                But it isn't. This is the point. TW:W3 has a lot of new content even discarding LLs. From minor stuff like ability for flying units to land to diplomacy, improved sieges and new mods.

                I much preferred how TW1 played. I liked the idea of not being able to take settlements that you logically just would never need or use. It also meant that there was like an empire building phase of the campaign followed by basically a crusade phase where you went out and razed everything you couldn't settle. It was neat.

                Yeah. Would also want the legendary continent of Lumbria, Naggaroth and Lustria a tad bigger (same with Southlands), Cathay being also a tad bigger and with more settlements as well as Nippon and Tor Elithis isles being finally included.
                But for now I really want Ind and Khuresh to become available and with the Immortal Empires expanded it's now available until they go and make it official.
                And in case of seas they should not only make the seas bigger but also add in small aquatic settlements for Vampire Coast armies.

          Yeah, they were both heavily reworked. Their campaign mechanics are very different. And they are both due to rework soon in TW:W3 and will be accompanied by dlc.

          Admittedly I found Empire rework annoying. TWW1 office system was replaced with Elector Count system where you can appoint your lords as rulers of every province, which will give you buffs and unlock unique units. That's ok I guess, but they also introduced weird authority system which punishes you for attacking other Imperial factions and spawns enemy armies out of nothing that raze other Imperial cities unless you pay money or authority mana to stop it. Wulfhart dlc was very shit. Units are frankly useless and what's worse boring. I don't like that Gelt moved to Solland either.

          In TWW3 Volkmar now starts in Sudenburg and has to crusade Undead Vampires (Manfred who also fricked off there) and Tomb Kings. He shares with Manfred now some mechanic about collecting books.

          Dorfs got 2 reworks in TWW2, but no dlc. There is a new Legendary Lord for them, rune "magic" works in different way, they got additional Slayer unit, Ungrim as his own faction, they have item crafting mechanic just like tomb kings now. In TWW3 White Dorf leads his own faction in North America and is there to kill Malekith

    >Why does Warhammer III have so many more player than II?
    Considering it's just an expansion of WH2, the fact that ANYONE is still playing WH2 at all is damning evidence that it's not worth it.

        Is this supposed to mean something? I don't think you're using that right, newbie.

      >Significantly improved sieges alone make it better.
      You couldn't even make one argument before going full moron. The sieges are fricking shit. You literally just walk one unit into the capture point and it's over.

      Are there any good mods for Warhammer 2?

        I dunno I pirated it and 90% of the mods are only on Steam. I've heard of a few that are pretty popular, like the Legions of Nagash.

    I can't believe they still haven't fixed the siege pathing. Put up one ladder, and it's impossible to march forces through an open gate without babysitting them and manually sending them through one at a time. Even that doesn't always work and the unit will path to a ladder on the other side of the map instead.

        It wasn't in Rome 2 or WH2. They reintroduced it for WH3. Even though WH3 was marketed on siege battle improvements, they managed to make them even worse than ever.
        Sieges are so frustrating. If a ladder goes up, 90% of your effort and attention for the rest of the siege will be microing units to go through the gate, otherwise half your army will queue up to use one ladder.
        Frick this game.

      Each one is focused on a different part of the map. Its basically like expansion packs but more expensive because CA are israelites.

        This is all you needed to say. The rest of what you posted has no relation to what he asked.
