If they can get Mortal empires to work in this game with all 3 games rosters without being a complete lagfest that takes turns 20 minutes to complete with all the factions. This game will be insane for years to come.
they fixed the mortal campaign turn timer issue almost a year ago. even on my old shitty PC it took little under a minute, on my new shiny PC it's more like 10 seconds. maybe you haven't been using the fast forward button which practically skips all movement animations etc.
They will and already have it up and running in some form internally apparently. Mortal empires came out 1 month after game 2, would expect the same-ish of immortal empires.
For me, this in its current format is a GOTY contender. If they have some DLC factions included by the end of this year, plus Mortal Empires 2, then it's hard to look at anything coming close to this for GOTY.
Yeah I’ve seen performance reviews and it’s similar to warhammer 2. Idk why the game here looks so choppy. Saw other reviewers and game looked fine. Campaign map sometimes can get low fps but that’s how it’s always been
from what i've seen it's substantially more demanding than warhammer 2, especially on the campaign map. even streamers and youtubers display footage that's very slowed down and choppy when there's a lot of particles/units, even shown in this very review at one point. though from experience with the past two games you can gain a lot of performance by lowering particles and anti-aliasing method
9/10 huh...well on steam it has only a 57% approval rating and that number keeps going down. are yall sure you're not biased? or maybe even bought out.
And? Unless 1 and 2 are on GP the combined mode that is coming won't be available. Get it on Steam where there is an EXCELLENT mod workshop and easy access to the various DLCs.
Honestly way prefer the handcrafted campaign map to generated ones. There’s so much love and care put into them. Even after 1000 hours in 2 I still find things I’ve never seen in every play through
What about the fact that the game doesn't have anything that is new or fun in terms of units or magic? Its minor changes with a reskin, I've played a week and I'm back to playing warhammer 2.
cause the game itself is about as optimized as New World's was. Its TERRIBLY framerate laggy. Needs some serious patching before smooth performance is to be had
yes kind of. Each game has a contained story, however when you have all the games they merge into one GIANT game. So we're waiting for that to come soonish down the road. Thats what a huge portion of us are truly waiting for and reserving judgement on. If they pull it off it will be epic on a scale arguably never seen before.
Personally without the immortal empires its not worth it unless your talking about multiplayer if you are its worth it but in single player its just not worth it for 8 factions and minus 1 if you didnt pre order it so you only have 7 factions are there roster compered to warhammer 2 is just a bit empty
yea sort of. AI freaks out completely in siege battles and battles are much jankier than they're supposed to be. there's really only 4 factions as the chaos factions have really thin rosters with shared units between them (though they're very unique on the campaign map). however said 4 factions are great
It's more like Civilization. You have an strategic map where you manage your cities, armies, etc. Then you go into a more tradition tactical RTS map when your armies fight.
they downscaled the sieges and it worked, just that people hate it. Look at Warhammer 1 and 2. People prefer fun broken things over boring working stuff.
Not yet. The free mortal empires map will come to this game in a few months that combines the maps from all 3 games into one big epic sandbox map with every faction in the trilogy.

also Lost Ark

Amazing games coming out this month which deserve 10/10.
Can we finally get proper sequel to medieval 2 now warhammer is finished?
And shogun 3!
With the rome 2 and Attilla siege mechanics
Would love this. Medieval 2 is possibly my favourite total war
The leader customization is 🔥
IGN gave a game not published by EA or Activision a 9? By the grace of Sigmar, what manner of Tzeentchian corruption is this?
Realm of Chaos camp = 9
Imortal Empires = 10
where are the negative points?

The DLC fest begins 11/10
This game coming out this week just turned my A in class to a C.
The game is out :)
real
What about performance? I've seen some choppy gameplay in this review and I'd assume that's on a pretty beefy PC
It's only a little harder to run than Warhammer 2, and it's unclear whether they finished optimizing it since they got this build.
The Twitch streams I've seen quite a lot of have been smooth, and we don't know how old the build was for this review.

A game that has poor optimization, zero blood, 20 fps, crashes on start, and mixed reviews on both steam and Xbox somehow got a 9 on ign…
TWW is the best reason to play games. Masterpieces.
Just look at the steam reviews lol. Ign will slap a 9 on anything
Appreciate the review. I'll wait for the definitive addition.
9/10
IGN: ITS A 9 !
60% of steam reviews: 4 😡
Something is really suspicious here 🤔
The Gameplay is so laggy and has issues, it's like they forgot optimisation exists
I'll play it when the blood and gore dlc comes out
yeah me too, not that it has anything to do with khorne xD
2022 is a great year for gaming.every game is getting a 9+(except crossfire x we don't count that as a game)
If I've never played before how difficult is it to get situated?
Lots of description, light on evaluation.
this guygurl gives every game 9/10. reviews on steam are mixed with most people saying the game is dogshit.
Coming on PC Game Pass on Day 1. Heads up gamers. ^_^

When are we getting a total war lord of the rings
Wish this didn't come out around elden ring. Still waiting for total war warhammer 40k
All this game needs is a random map seed generator like the Civilization games and it would be the GOAT.
Can't do it because of licensing issues
@@myfavouritethings3187 Also cant do it because the Warhammer map is hand made and detailed af where Civ maps are very easy to generate.

This is why Microsoft should stick to PC. 10/10

Great review.
Can someone tell me if it's more similar to age of empires or lotr bfme 2? I never played the rts games of this series
It's more like Civilization. You have an strategic map where you manage your cities, armies, etc. Then you go into a more tradition tactical RTS map when your armies fight.
it is like civ and bfme 2 combined
It's both games but grander
They need to downscale the sieges, making them more complex, especially with the the buggy AI is not the solution.
they downscaled the sieges and it worked, just that people hate it. Look at Warhammer 1 and 2. People prefer fun broken things over boring working stuff.
Hell no. That would be boring.

Not yet. The free mortal empires map will come to this game in a few months that combines the maps from all 3 games into one big epic sandbox map with every faction in the trilogy.

Only a 9 though he had no negatives to say and still gave it a 9 , kinda sad
Campaign isn't the most repayable and it feels smaller coming from warhammer 2. As you say not bad at all but not 10/10
Not everything is a 10, bud. If we’re using the scale correctly, not many things should be a 10… as that is utter perfection.
