Meanwhile in Bretonnia Farmer: My lord, my village was attacked by wood elves! Lord:...... Farmer: They killed my wife. Lord:..... Farmer: They took my children. Lord:...... Farmer: They burned down my house, destroyed all the crops and took all my personal belongings. Lord:..... Farmer:...... Lord: So you're still paying your taxes, right?
actually... have you read the letter that was released before the Trailer? Children were abducted and a knight prepared an action to take them back... well either them or lumber in worht of the childrens lifetime of work etc. here's the text Your Grace, Forgive this indulgence of a scrawled missive sent by squire. Rather than journeying to your castle myself, I am required to travel straight to the hamlet of Puntiers, a smallish settlement within my domain. I beg ofyou to meet with me there, bringin with yourself a muster of retainers and Knights errant. I invoke the chivalric code with grave urgency, for Puntiers has lost its children; eight young subjects stolen, a whole generation of labourer-tentants and tax yield taken. And I have no doubt who the perpetrators are. You can see the borders of the Greenwood from the fields that surround the hamlet. It seems the Fey Folk that dwell in the Forest of Loren have awoken and committed a fell act indeed. I know it them for the peasants showed me a message written on a large leaf in some lexicon i cannot fathom and pinned to a door with a black arrow. I suggest a sojourn into the forest at once to reclaim what is ours. Should the Fey remain hidden - as i suspect these cowardly creatures will - then we shall take compensation back in lumber, equal to the value of a lifetime's labour per child lost. I await your arrival but cannot tarry for to long. for justice must be served. By our Lady's will, Sir Redemnond of the Northern Reach Please also note that the 'Mother's Kiss' pox remain abroad in mine lands. A regreattable malady altough it only afflicts the young so your grace and any knightly companions will be safe. Your grace - this message arrived five days past. I have it on good authority Sir Redemnond may have lost patience and already entered Loren Forest with a peasent levy. No record of their return has been made thus far.
I remember in one of the novels in the Orion series, that at a celebration of wood elf nobles, one them going on about how entertaining the two kidnapped human children have been who are living at his estate, even having them blessed with magic to maintain their youth. My first response was "that's absolutely awfu.... wait a second, the only human lands that border Athel Loren are Bretonnia...well good for those kids then", probably better than growing up as peasants in Bretonnia and used as cannon fodder.
"Athel Loren shall not suffer the presence of Men, nor Orcs, nor Dwarfs, nor Beastmen. If a foe takes a single step upon such sacred soil, they shall not take another." -Skarloc, Mist Walker of Athel Loren YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!
And so the WIld Hunt begins anew. It's fitting. 4 years ago, the Wood Elves were first announced on the 17th of November as a playable race. To have their rework announced tomorrow on the 19th of November is nothing short of 'almost' poetic.
Now that the Wood Elves are coming out, will you do a campaign as them! I've been waiting since the game came out for the wood elves, and you're the man for the job!
Great... another problem Bretonnian peasants have to worry about... Also it's about time some elves show up... weird playing a fantasy game without elves in some form.
it does cost them money to continue to make all this content y'know.... and it's a fair amount of content, I've been waiting for a fantasy TW since shogun 2, and they've f'ing smashed it, and a lot of people want them to continue smashing it for a fair price
They really needed an elf faction ^_^ Had man, dwarf, and the forces of evil, was missing them elves! Looking forward to this, definitely buying it when it comes out so long as it's not a botched quickly assembled mess. Already can't wait for Skaven and Lizardmen though.
The hype is real. New campaign mechanics (that highlight limited elven population, no less) Flying archers (Finally it's possible to wipe out a larger enemy army with zero casualties. Yay.) Lords that can be specialized for ranged combat (about damn time) Lores of Shadow and Life (Ninjawizards and healers FTW!) New beastmen lord? (that'd be nice) Ents! (Okay, treekin, fine, but I'm naming one after Treebeard and there's nothing you can do about it.) The Wild Hunt! (Anyone who has played Witcher is simultaneously sad that it won't be the same, yet happy that they get to do it.) Dragons as units, not just mounts (which is nice) Ahh, the hype. Okay, some of these might be FLC, I think, but still cool. Also, I like the climactic final battle idea that both DLC races look like they'll get. The Fall of Men was the most fun part of the Beastmen main campaign, and it looks like elves are getting their own thing too. I'm really hoping Chaos will get one too, at least.
Dwarves already had ranged flying units, the gyro copters. This still doesn't mean flying ranged units won't die. Each race as some form of dealing with them, VC and Empire especially.
Zinc Goblin True, but a force made up entirely of melee infantry, for example, won't be able to touch flying, ranged units. But yeah, I'd completely forgotten about the gyrocopters. Probably because I never really use them, as they feel underwhelming in comparison to the rest of the dwarven roster. But elves are supposed to be really damn good at shooting, so that might be an interesting addition.
Dodger That's Orion, King of the woods and an avatar of a god. the video doesn't show it well but he's much bigger than a normal elf, bigger than a troll/ogre etc.
I wanna be a tree lady, not like a dryad where I'm rolling all over, but an alraune, due to being rooted in the ground, my army cannot actually move across the map. Survival mode engaged. (that would actually be interesting, you'd have to recruit new lords to go out and attack elsewhere, whilst defending your sole starting army., it could potentially be interesting if lore breaking.).
Nah, cinematic trailers are fun to watch. There are well-deserved points of criticism (such as overpricing or lack of identity for sieges), but these are not too broadly discussed in the comment section of videos that have no noteworthy relation to these issues.
I'm hoping the next historical Total War game will be Total War Khan. It's basically Medieval 3 with Asian Culture tossed in there, spans all the way from Japan to the British Isles due to the Mongol Empires huge presence and influence in Eurasia. That would possibly be the Total War game of fans dreams. The Mongol faction should start out as a nomadic tribe building your massive empire from scratch. They are literally one of the few Empires that are built from scratch, out of nothing, rather than out of a city-state or established kingdoms. The player will feel rewarded as that small nomadic tribe defeats rival nomadic tribes and than powerful Chinese Kingdoms. By the time the Mongol Empire becomes OP (like Rome from Rome 2), it should feel like a possible powerful ally or a enemy war machine to the factions of the Christendom and the Islamic World. Also it should have the ability to recruit units from defeated factions, like the real Mongol Empire (or rather practically all Empires that have ever existed). It should be a faction that forces the enemy AI to either consider joining the Empire as vassals or band together in an temporary alliance to fight the player playing as the Mongol Empire.
They stated the next historical game will be in an era they've never done before (mentioned here: www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-11-16-the-next-historical-total-war-is-an-era-we-havent-tackled-yet )so while your idea isn't bad, it doesn't sound super likely. Maybe ancient China as the author postulates in the article, romance of the three kingdoms or maybe, just maybe, something later like WW1. Either way it'll be neat i believe.
+sigmund rumney That's like when people bang on about a US civil war game. How boring it would be to have only two factions in one country of the world. It only worked for Shogun.
Vanders There weren't only two factions in the English civil war though. You would also have Irish and Scottish factions, plus it would be pike and shot. If not as a main game, they could at least do it as a dlc campaign to a Europe wide pike and shot tw.
thank you guys so much, the wood elves are my main race in the tabletop game and i prayed so hard that they would make it into the game. Thank you so so much
Yes okay very true guys. But honestly I've just felt having dwarves and orcs in a fantasy game but NOT having elves?? Just made me feel dirty. Now I finally feel like the game is well-rounded. But like you say it's only going to get better from here on out with more DLC and more expansions in the future adding new races, new campaigns, new quests, and uncovering new areas of the map and who knows what else. CA have really struck a gold mine here and hopefully they milk this cow for all its worth!!
The datamine's weakness is that it's an old schedule . It can easily change. Regardless it's an obvious move to release the main old world factions in the first game anyway.
I can only imagine Skaven would be one of the more challenging races to implement on the campaign, like under a lot of Imperial cities there is a twisted mirror Skaven city. How would that look on the campaign... unless if they bypass that or rebellions have a play there [maybe up-ing the chances of Skaven rebellions].
This is the first game that I have ever eagerly awaited DLC for. The Beastmen were an awesome faction to play for and against and I'm really looking forward to my Wood Elf campaign.
As much as i like the DLC's, in my opinion they should have already been in the original game. Simply wasn't enough content for multiplayer with 4 base factions for a price of £40 (if you didn't pre-order or buy in the 1st week to get Chaos) I feel like we are all getting ripped off a bit, not a lot, just a bit.
Those 4 factions were actually notably different though unlike in earlier games where you would have 15 factions but they were realistically only variations on 2-3 archetypes.
Coming up next: Witcher DLC! It comes with Bretonia and a new legendary lord called Geralt of Rivia! His abilities are bonus combat against elves and beastmen! :)
anyway i have the feeling this is the last dlc (other then bretonia) based on the total war forums thread where they say what people are working on ( arena kingdoms dlc etc.)
I said dlc not game. And in a interview they said this is the biggest dlc thell be doing for this game so no skaven...yet. and the main team is apperently well into the second game already woyhout stuff like the base mechanics to make
I'd like to point out to those that don't know, but this is the first faction to have a monster freely available as a Lord. Yes, Chaos had Kholek Suneater before this, but he's just one and a Legendary Lord at that. This is the first faction in which potentially every one of your armies can be led by a monster.
Finally! Realm of the Wood Elves will be the first DLC I will buy. I'm also waiting for Skavens and Bretonnia. Hurry up Sega! I wonder do you need Beastmen DLC to slaughter them as Wood Elves in campaign?
Eldar fans might recognise the analogy with the Avatar of Khaine in 40k. This Wood Elf noble is your "Young Prince", although he is an offering to Koronus, not Khaine. His soul is evaporated and the body morphed to become a vessel for the God's avatar. The Wild Hunt is a reference to Northern European mythology and Koronos is a reference to the Celtic Cernunnos.
Oh Beastmen, ya'll be screwed now! Looking so much forward to this one, finally some elves! Sadly not my precious High Elves but.. I'll take anything at this point!
wood elves are way more EVULZ than dark elves will ever be, warhammer wood elves are the joker of elves,dark elves are a fat kid with black metal facial painting.
that was the wood elf king Oberon. He is tied to the forest itself so he is at his strongest during the spring and summer, he gets weak in fall and dies in winter, only to be reborn from a worthy sacrifice at winters end to defend the forest. That horn he blow summoned the Wild Hunt, a bunch of crazy awesome elf nobles who go to war with Oberon every year.
creative assembly, I think you are heading into the right direction. Please keep up the great work and the price policy of the last DLC and you will make your fans more happy than ever. Thank you for this great realisation of the source material. p.s. Do you still intend to release Bretonnia or did you stop bothering because of the already available mods?
Wood Elves are neutral. That's kind of their entire schtick, that they consider themselves the only true Elves left, with the High Elves being arrogant, self-righteous do-gooders, while the Dark Elves are the other side of the coin being arrogant sadomasochistic racial supremacists. The Wood Elves are "humble" (yeah, right) and accept both the light and dark nature of elves and after spending so long in Athel Loren they also emulate nature, both its blessings and cruelties. In practice what this means is that they will go out and help others defend themselves and make it their lifes goal to hunt down chaos corruption, while also going on a yearly marauding hunt/party destroying everything in their path for fun. They also kidnap Bretonnian children, sometimes to save them from a life of poverty, disease or death by making them ageless servants within Athel Loren, other times they were just hungry and stopped by for a quick snack. So they do both good and evil things, because they have a completely different worldview from humans.
they re by no means good,in the grand scheme of things they re neutral,but they spend their time torturing or killing people who get accidentally lost in their forest,and they kidnapp people for fun,rampage trough bretonnian villages for fun,and are a bunch of vicious man-childs who love to do the elven equivalent of burning ants with a loupe.sure,they fight chaos too. but they are locally a big problem for their neightbours. those dudes are by no means neutral.
someone read the army books? they re not neutral,they consider themselves free to do good or bad, and with this freedom in mind,they chose do bad,most of the times,and they love torture and dominance as much as dark elves. they re totally into making villagers eat their own children and are for the most par worse than dark elves,the diference is wood elves stay in they forest most of the time,the dark elves love to do tourism. but thats all
Skaven is possible to be faction in the game. the tombs kings , lizard men , ogre kingdom can be the like invasion but the high elves and dark elves is not possible.
Creative Assembly are making a trilogy of stand-alone Warhammer games which will expand the campaign map and add new races if you own several of them. If a race is not added to this game, it will be in the coming ones. High Elves, Dark Elves and Lizardmen are most likely added in the second game which will expand the map westward to include their lands.
Queek headtaker Until you can point out where Shakespeare included walking trees and flying on eagles (Birnham Wood come to Dunsinane doesn't count), you're going to have to do better than that.
This faction easily had the best units... and the least fun campaign this is easily my favorite faction, but I had to mod to make them able to expand like any other empire
I think they've added the wood elfs and beastmen, to give the Bretonions someone to fight who's no empire or other bretons before they fully release them to the game.
From what I cam tell the only things missing from the roster are a spell weaver Lord (though there are spellsinger hero characters), glade captain (though again this is just a hero version of a Lord), shadow dancer, and unicorns. So this is great, and I'm sure that these units will be added at some point via dlc or can be added via a mod.
Tbh i feel like those factions are made for an expasion, because of how popular they are, they dont really fit a stand alone dlc, like beastmen or wood elves. So Skaven will prob come april or somewhere around that, with the first expansion
Awesome! For those of you who aren't table top Warhammer fans, there are still a lot of races to go...so expect tons more DLC. Still have Skaven, Tomb Kings, Slaan, Ogre Kingdoms, etc. Not to mention the mini-DLC in each of those with lords, high elves, etc.
So... any news on that continental-sized "can stand on it's own as a game" expansion pack CA? You sounded pretty excited that you were making that kind of expansion pack.
Eh, mostly they just kill ANYONE who wanders into Athel Loren. Sometimes they'll leave the forest on their versions of Crusades or "The Hunt" as the narrator called them. Since I don't own their Armybook, I can't tell you what The Hunt is mainly for.
Given proximity. beastmen love corrupting things and love corrupting the largest entity in the Old World, the forest of Athel Loren. It's a given that Wood elves and beastmen are antagonistic to each other. Which is funny given that at any other time beastmen are the mooks of the WH fantasy universe.
I hear they don't mind too much if Bretonnian woodcutters come to the forest to gather wood. But they do monitor their activity and god help them if they cut down one tree too many.
I hope that aside from the Wood Elves living in Athel Loren, they also add the ones living in the Imperial province of Nordland and maybe even some of the ones in Kislev
Oh may GOD yes!!!Im an fan of total war warhammer i like the game very much and with this new DLC its gonna be even better continue the good work CA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And may i sugest the next historical title be in WW1 please CA!!!!!!!!also the wood elves are one of my favotite factions in the warhammer lore what is yours????????? Give me your opinions and like the comment please
I want the next historical title to be called Total War Khan. Basically it's just Medieval 3 from Japan all the way to the British Isles with some Samurai and Asian Culture thrown in there.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! I really hope you guys incorporate the Sisters of Twilight into this army eventually (I didn't see Forest Dragons on the list either... it's almost complete bar these). *Edit* as pointed out, there are Forest Dragons! Weeee! Just one more unit to go!
You guys are right, I almost didn't notice it even when rewatching! Hell yes! So all that's left are the Sisters of Twilight (which they can do in a pack similar to Belegar and Skarsnik etc)!
Meanwhile in Bretonnia
Farmer: My lord, my village was attacked by wood elves!
Lord:......
Farmer: They killed my wife.
Lord:.....
Farmer: They took my children.
Lord:......
Farmer: They burned down my house, destroyed all the crops and took all my personal belongings.

Farmer: They also killed some of your horses my lord...

U made my day xD
actually... have you read the letter that was released before the Trailer? Children were abducted and a knight prepared an action to take them back... well either them or lumber in worht of the childrens lifetime of work etc. here's the text
Your Grace,
Forgive this indulgence of a scrawled missive sent by squire.
Rather than journeying to your castle myself, I am required to travel straight to the hamlet of Puntiers, a smallish settlement within my domain. I beg ofyou to meet with me there, bringin with yourself a muster of retainers and Knights errant.
I invoke the chivalric code with grave urgency, for Puntiers has lost its children; eight young subjects stolen, a whole generation of labourer-tentants and tax yield taken. And I have no doubt who the perpetrators are. You can see the borders of the Greenwood from the fields that surround the hamlet. It seems the Fey Folk that dwell in the Forest of Loren have awoken and committed a fell act indeed. I know it them for the peasants showed me a message written on a large leaf in some lexicon i cannot fathom and pinned to a door with a black arrow.
I suggest a sojourn into the forest at once to reclaim what is ours. Should the Fey remain hidden - as i suspect these cowardly creatures will - then we shall take compensation back in lumber, equal to the value of a lifetime's labour per child lost.
I await your arrival but cannot tarry for to long. for justice must be served.
By our Lady's will,
Sir Redemnond of the Northern Reach
Please also note that the 'Mother's Kiss' pox remain abroad in mine lands.
A regreattable malady altough it only afflicts the young so your grace and any knightly companions will be safe.
Your grace - this message arrived five days past. I have it on good authority Sir Redemnond may have lost patience and already entered Loren Forest with a peasent levy. No record of their return has been made thus far.
For some reason I read this in the scribes voice from th Stronghold series and it sounded amazing.
I remember in one of the novels in the Orion series, that at a celebration of wood elf nobles, one them going on about how entertaining the two kidnapped human children have been who are living at his estate, even having them blessed with magic to maintain their youth.

FINALLY a DLC where the Empire of man is not being killed left and right.
The beastmen were a nice touch. Above everyone else, I reckon Beastmen and Wood Elves are most bitter towards each other.
Julian Nim Bro..............that hurts.
Footman Of Lordaeron It's not my fault your prince went mad and murdered most of you

Great... another problem Bretonnian peasants have to worry about...

Love your videos
@k2rxV those are treekin tho ;)
59 beastmen have discovered how to use the dislike button it seems...
I see 69 gay beastmen doe HAHAHAH
or just people sick of the developers constant sectioning off of the game.

Salt spotted, cheesecake devoured. Never stood a chance.
it does cost them money to continue to make all this content y'know....
and it's a fair amount of content, I've been waiting for a fantasy TW since shogun 2, and they've f'ing smashed it, and a lot of people want them to continue smashing it for a fair price
***** As seriously as possible I shall say. *"Smash me more **_SEGA CHWAaaaaaaaaan~"_*
Going to be honest he looked better before he stepped into the tree thing
That was just some random elf being sacrificed to revive the king
I am aware. I wonder if that will factor into the Campaign somehow, like only being able to use Orion at certain times(IE when its not winter)
A Humpier Rogue Hopefully that also means they're going to add season changes
Make it so you have to sacrifice your highest level lord every other turn so you can still use Orion kappa
Nah, your Man Orion is one of your Legendary Lords. The other is Durthu
Wood Elves have Mel Gibsonelf.
High Elves get Benedict Cumberelf.
Dark Elves get Angelina Morathi.
Elves (wood elves especially) are my favourite race. Hyped that they're being released on my birthday too ^ ^
Jordan Pembro You have been blessed by Isha.
Me too ^^
I waited all the time long for the elves, I played until now with the vampire counts ^^
8th is also my birthday, what a coincidence with the release date! ;D
284 dwarves disapprove greatly, this is going in the book
If "the chill winds of winter are past," why is this slated for December release?
Asking the real questions here.
Because its summer in the Southern Hemisphere?
Because global warming.
because it will warm up our hearts :D
dawwwwwwwwww NO.
They really needed an elf faction ^_^
Had man, dwarf, and the forces of evil, was missing them elves!
Looking forward to this, definitely buying it when it comes out so long as it's not a botched quickly assembled mess. Already can't wait for Skaven and Lizardmen though.
Wild Hunt? Sounds like a job for a witcher
TheDarkWolf Wake the white wolf
TheDarkWolf or a witcher needs the Wood elves
Heading to Middenheim? (There's a unit called Knights of the White Wolf)
TheDarkWolf Those Scoiatell bastards won't get away with this!
Wind's howling...
The hype is real.
New campaign mechanics (that highlight limited elven population, no less)
Flying archers (Finally it's possible to wipe out a larger enemy army with zero casualties. Yay.)
Lords that can be specialized for ranged combat (about damn time)
Lores of Shadow and Life (Ninjawizards and healers FTW!)
New beastmen lord? (that'd be nice)
Ents! (Okay, treekin, fine, but I'm naming one after Treebeard and there's nothing you can do about it.)
The Wild Hunt! (Anyone who has played Witcher is simultaneously sad that it won't be the same, yet happy that they get to do it.)
Dragons as units, not just mounts (which is nice)
Ahh, the hype.
Okay, some of these might be FLC, I think, but still cool.
Also, I like the climactic final battle idea that both DLC races look like they'll get. The Fall of Men was the most fun part of the Beastmen main campaign, and it looks like elves are getting their own thing too. I'm really hoping Chaos will get one too, at least.
the cinematic campaign mechanic is something I want for all factions.you get like a final narrated battle once you build tier 5 settlment
How long would it take for the lazy bastards at CA to give us ENDING CUTSCENES!
Dwarves already had ranged flying units, the gyro copters.
This still doesn't mean flying ranged units won't die. Each race as some form of dealing with them, VC and Empire especially.

***** I know, right? Even if it's the kind of mostly-faction-neutral cutscenes we used to get in Shogun 2, it'd still be a nice addition.
aww man, I would prefer to play as that awesome looking elf with a Corinthian-like helmet, than that goat thing :(
Dodger That's Orion, King of the woods and an avatar of a god.
the video doesn't show it well but he's much bigger than a normal elf, bigger than a troll/ogre etc.
me too... he looks more awesome...
I wanna be a tree lady, not like a dryad where I'm rolling all over, but an alraune, due to being rooted in the ground, my army cannot actually move across the map. Survival mode engaged.
(that would actually be interesting, you'd have to recruit new lords to go out and attack elsewhere, whilst defending your sole starting army., it could potentially be interesting if lore breaking.).

Nah, cinematic trailers are fun to watch. There are well-deserved points of criticism (such as overpricing or lack of identity for sieges), but these are not too broadly discussed in the comment section of videos that have no noteworthy relation to these issues.

I would love to have the lizardmen as the next dlc. It would be so awesome.
The Chad Wood Elves Wild Hunt vs. Virgin Ardenweald Wild Hunt
I'm hoping the next historical Total War game will be Total War Khan. It's basically Medieval 3 with Asian Culture tossed in there, spans all the way from Japan to the British Isles due to the Mongol Empires huge presence and influence in Eurasia. That would possibly be the Total War game of fans dreams.
The Mongol faction should start out as a nomadic tribe building your massive empire from scratch. They are literally one of the few Empires that are built from scratch, out of nothing, rather than out of a city-state or established kingdoms. The player will feel rewarded as that small nomadic tribe defeats rival nomadic tribes and than powerful Chinese Kingdoms. By the time the Mongol Empire becomes OP (like Rome from Rome 2), it should feel like a possible powerful ally or a enemy war machine to the factions of the Christendom and the Islamic World. Also it should have the ability to recruit units from defeated factions, like the real Mongol Empire (or rather practically all Empires that have ever existed). It should be a faction that forces the enemy AI to either consider joining the Empire as vassals or band together in an temporary alliance to fight the player playing as the Mongol Empire.
They stated the next historical game will be in an era they've never done before (mentioned here: www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-11-16-the-next-historical-total-war-is-an-era-we-havent-tackled-yet )so while your idea isn't bad, it doesn't sound super likely. Maybe ancient China as the author postulates in the article, romance of the three kingdoms or maybe, just maybe, something later like WW1. Either way it'll be neat i believe.

I just hope the grand campaign map won't be Europe again, or at least only Europe. I wouldn't mind something small-scale like Japan.
TheNorth15 I personally want a civil war total war game, where I can make a fat Roundhead army and kill all the cavaliers.
+sigmund rumney That's like when people bang on about a US civil war game. How boring it would be to have only two factions in one country of the world. It only worked for Shogun.
Vanders There weren't only two factions in the English civil war though. You would also have Irish and Scottish factions, plus it would be pike and shot. If not as a main game, they could at least do it as a dlc campaign to a Europe wide pike and shot tw.
thank you guys so much, the wood elves are my main race in the tabletop game and i prayed so hard that they would make it into the game. Thank you so so much
THANK YOU CA FINALLY TOTAL WAR HAS ELVES - DWARVES ORCS AND ELVES FINALLY THE GAME IS COMPLETE!
Sorry, but clearly not
I disagreeeeee
Yes okay very true guys. But honestly I've just felt having dwarves and orcs in a fantasy game but NOT having elves?? Just made me feel dirty. Now I finally feel like the game is well-rounded.
But like you say it's only going to get better from here on out with more DLC and more expansions in the future adding new races, new campaigns, new quests, and uncovering new areas of the map and who knows what else.
CA have really struck a gold mine here and hopefully they milk this cow for all its worth!!
Let me ask you: are there any Skavens? No? So this game is far from complete.
+UnionDirector
Relax, it's obvious this guy never heard about Warhammer. Warcraft fanboy probably.
cheers wood elves but please do skavens fraction
really plagiat play
Total war: HEHEHE NOOOO. 😈😊
That swamp sure is suspiciously uninhabited...
they will, I do not doubt that for a moment. The time for Stormvermin will come!
Thanks for responding to my comment honestly I'm not American, I Ukrainian nice that other people meet me
Datamined info that has thusfar proven accurate suggest the Skaven to be the 10th paid DLC.
For reference, Wood Elves are coming in at the 5th.
wood elf confirm ???? !!!!
Nah it's just a fake trailer
This is clearly a bait and switch. Skaven are coming on December 8th, mark my words.
that would be awesome though
Nah, these are clearly another Dwarf expansion.
Are you kidding me? They are halfling/amazons/kislev alliance. So OP
Looks like the Russian data mining is still right for the most part
It's about the order they are released in haldir88... Ofc everyone knew they would do every faction.
Which makes me sad because if the order is correct then we are not going to get Skaven any time soon. ;(
The datamine's weakness is that it's an old schedule . It can easily change. Regardless it's an obvious move to release the main old world factions in the first game anyway.
I can only imagine Skaven would be one of the more challenging races to implement on the campaign, like under a lot of Imperial cities there is a twisted mirror Skaven city. How would that look on the campaign... unless if they bypass that or rebellions have a play there [maybe up-ing the chances of Skaven rebellions].
Every faction? Don't count on that. They are going to release Warhammer 2 in next year, so wood elves are probably one of the last faction we get.
please add some units to beastmen as they are a barebones army right now
They're adding morghor, you can see him in the pcgamesN gameplay video, bit I agree I hope they reveal some new beastmen units
There are a few decent mods on steam that flesh out the Beastmen roster a bit more
Sean S i know but mods dont add harpies , they just add reskined versions of the base units such as doombull etc
MINOS yeah i also think warriors of chaos should be able to conquer.
Please new Unit!
The Wild Hunt Begins!
Quick, someone get Geralt of Rivia!
and ciri xD
Just in case you don't know, it's based on an old folk myth, not Witcher universe exclusive.
yeah i know mate :)
you win
*****
Yes, I do, but this was funnier.
This is the first game that I have ever eagerly awaited DLC for. The Beastmen were an awesome faction to play for and against and I'm really looking forward to my Wood Elf campaign.
First Skarsnik and squigs, now THIS *opens wallet*
As much as i like the DLC's, in my opinion they should have already been in the original game. Simply wasn't enough content for multiplayer with 4 base factions for a price of £40 (if you didn't pre-order or buy in the 1st week to get Chaos) I feel like we are all getting ripped off a bit, not a lot, just a bit.
MrNickyjames2 yeah there needs to be more freeLC
Those 4 factions were actually notably different though unlike in earlier games where you would have 15 factions but they were realistically only variations on 2-3 archetypes.
Good price for the amount of content, I'm sure I'll get at least 10 hours out of these guys so I'm fine paying £10
well... in that case the game would've come out sometime next year for a higher price...
Idiot, the beast men DLC was a waste of money and the grim and grave was just alot of re skinned units, lazy
God exists!! CA take my money (throw money)
Dark Elves are still superior elves. What am I saying they are just superior compared to all races.
Nosstril Slaya just like every other right lol
who isn't
***** You must be referring to the inferior Dark Eldar.
***** Kinky ;)
Of couse you think so. You think so because you haven't met HIGH ELVEN STEEEEEEL!
1:54 Horn clipping through the lip texture ;)
Coming up next: Witcher DLC! It comes with Bretonia and a new legendary lord called Geralt of Rivia! His abilities are bonus combat against elves and beastmen! :)
mor tings ta smash. WAAAAAAAGH
anyway i have the feeling this is the last dlc (other then bretonia) based on the total war forums thread where they say what people are working on ( arena kingdoms dlc etc.)
+Cody Archer last doc is usually announced a few weeks after the next total war is announced
I said dlc not game. And in a interview they said this is the biggest dlc thell be doing for this game so no skaven...yet. and the main team is apperently well into the second game already woyhout stuff like the base mechanics to make
More sneaky-cunning than man-things but not supreme-great like Skaven they die-die all same.
or burn em
I'd like to point out to those that don't know, but this is the first faction to have a monster freely available as a Lord.
Yes, Chaos had Kholek Suneater before this, but he's just one and a Legendary Lord at that.
This is the first faction in which potentially every one of your armies can be led by a monster.
NICE! ...now where is Skaven?
Did anyone else notice the horn clipping into his lips?
Finally! Realm of the Wood Elves will be the first DLC I will buy. I'm also waiting for Skavens and Bretonnia. Hurry up Sega! I wonder do you need Beastmen DLC to slaughter them as Wood Elves in campaign?
Nope beastmen should be part of the free dlc
Eldar fans might recognise the analogy with the Avatar of Khaine in 40k. This Wood Elf noble is your "Young Prince", although he is an offering to Koronus, not Khaine. His soul is evaporated and the body morphed to become a vessel for the God's avatar.
The Wild Hunt is a reference to Northern European mythology and Koronos is a reference to the Celtic Cernunnos.
Now for the love of god make Bretonnia playable as well to couple it with this DLC.
You do realise that there is a mod for this since day one?
February.
Proud2bGreek1 they announced Britonnia is being pushed back. release is in February
I don't like the mods because they either add units and make minor changes on the campaign map or are incomplete in some way.
Bretonnia are coming out in February next year, they have confirmed this. It will be free as well.
Oh Beastmen, ya'll be screwed now! Looking so much forward to this one, finally some elves! Sadly not my precious High Elves but.. I'll take anything at this point!
When Thanksgiving dinner is ready 1:54
Badass Dark elves > Tree hugging Wood elves >>>>>>> edgy and whiny high elves
wood elves are way more EVULZ than dark elves will ever be, warhammer wood elves are the joker of elves,dark elves are a fat kid with black metal facial painting.
LoL... so true... XD
Now I can finally slay some of these ladies. Can somebody explain what happend at the end?
Ice_Breaker every spring a elf is sacrificed to rebirth orion king of the wood elves
that was the wood elf king Oberon. He is tied to the forest itself so he is at his strongest during the spring and summer, he gets weak in fall and dies in winter, only to be reborn from a worthy sacrifice at winters end to defend the forest. That horn he blow summoned the Wild Hunt, a bunch of crazy awesome elf nobles who go to war with Oberon every year.
Cody Archer So he turned into the king? My lore isn't on point with the elves. And the hooves are because...?
They summon his god-king. Orion and lady of the lake should be chaos gods but then the End Times was created...
Zak Lewis They go to war with their King? Which side is corrupt? And this could be an amazing game element. :D
creative assembly, I think you are heading into the right direction. Please keep up the great work and the price policy of the last DLC and you will make your fans more happy than ever. Thank you for this great realisation of the source material.
p.s. Do you still intend to release Bretonnia or did you stop bothering because of the already available mods?
They said they are releasing the Full Roster of Bretonnia in Feb next year.
Orion confirmed, hope Durthu is the other Lord :D
That he is
There's a subfaction with him in it.
The Wild Hunt...BEGINS!!!!!
The Wood Elves are good if I'm correct. They fight with the Empire, Bretonnia etc and against Chaos etc
Wood elves kill anyone who step into their forest.
Wood Elves are neutral. That's kind of their entire schtick, that they consider themselves the only true Elves left, with the High Elves being arrogant, self-righteous do-gooders, while the Dark Elves are the other side of the coin being arrogant sadomasochistic racial supremacists. The Wood Elves are "humble" (yeah, right) and accept both the light and dark nature of elves and after spending so long in Athel Loren they also emulate nature, both its blessings and cruelties.
In practice what this means is that they will go out and help others defend themselves and make it their lifes goal to hunt down chaos corruption, while also going on a yearly marauding hunt/party destroying everything in their path for fun. They also kidnap Bretonnian children, sometimes to save them from a life of poverty, disease or death by making them ageless servants within Athel Loren, other times they were just hungry and stopped by for a quick snack.
So they do both good and evil things, because they have a completely different worldview from humans.
they re by no means good,in the grand scheme of things they re neutral,but they spend their time torturing or killing people who get accidentally lost in their forest,and they kidnapp people for fun,rampage trough bretonnian villages for fun,and are a bunch of vicious man-childs who love to do the elven equivalent of burning ants with a loupe.sure,they fight chaos too.
but they are locally a big problem for their neightbours.
those dudes are by no means neutral.
Great Jamie high elves are good arrogant dicks, wood elves are neutral dicks and dark elves are slaver dicks
someone read the army books? they re not neutral,they consider themselves free to do good or bad, and with this freedom in mind,they chose do bad,most of the times,and they love torture and dominance as much as dark elves.
they re totally into making villagers eat their own children and are for the most par worse than dark elves,the diference is wood elves stay in they forest most of the time,the dark elves love to do tourism.
but thats all
You know who disliked the trailer? TREE HATERS! We despise green and leaves and insects!
_Mostly the vision impediment caused by the trees though_
So this leaves High Elves, Tomb Kings, Lizard Men, Skaven...
Anything else?
Daemons of Chaos.
Ogre Kingdoms.
Dark Elves.
Skaven is possible to be faction in the game. the tombs kings , lizard men , ogre kingdom can be the like invasion but the high elves and dark elves is not possible.
Chaos Dwarfs
Creative Assembly are making a trilogy of stand-alone Warhammer games which will expand the campaign map and add new races if you own several of them. If a race is not added to this game, it will be in the coming ones. High Elves, Dark Elves and Lizardmen are most likely added in the second game which will expand the map westward to include their lands.
Norsemen, amazonians, hobgoblins, kingdoms of ind, estalia, itelia, kislev, fimir, Nippon, Cathay, Albion, Cult of Ulric, Halflings, and Araby.
Finally I got my Wood Elves,thank you!
the Tolkein influence is strongest in elves IMO.
Of course it is. Tolkien is the grandfather of medieval fantasy, his work influences everything of this style.
AxelGB I didn't say it wasn't, I'm just feeling a lot more of it here than the orcs or the empire. Dwarves are a close contender though.
Oh indeed.
But Warhammer takes these influences to 11, and sprinkle a dash of grimdark over all of it.
Andrew Wang more Shakespeare
Queek headtaker Until you can point out where Shakespeare included walking trees and flying on eagles (Birnham Wood come to Dunsinane doesn't count), you're going to have to do better than that.
This faction easily had the best units...
and the least fun campaign
this is easily my favorite faction, but I had to mod to make them able to expand like any other empire
after this i want the SKAVEN, the VERMIN, THE RATMEN !!!!!
I think they've added the wood elfs and beastmen, to give the Bretonions someone to fight who's no empire or other bretons before they fully release them to the game.
Super excited about this, Wood Elves and Lizardmen have been my favourites in the table top for years
From what I cam tell the only things missing from the roster are a spell weaver Lord (though there are spellsinger hero characters), glade captain (though again this is just a hero version of a Lord), shadow dancer, and unicorns. So this is great, and I'm sure that these units will be added at some point via dlc or can be added via a mod.
Sad even this time no Skaven or King Tombs...
King Tombs...
But we do have Count Vampires and now Elf Woods.
King tombs ... realy ?
TheNecrumDavengers dw we have chaos of warriors, count vampires and soon we will get elf woods
Tbh i feel like those factions are made for an expasion, because of how popular they are, they dont really fit a stand alone dlc, like beastmen or wood elves. So Skaven will prob come april or somewhere around that, with the first expansion
Awesome! For those of you who aren't table top Warhammer fans, there are still a lot of races to go...so expect tons more DLC. Still have Skaven, Tomb Kings, Slaan, Ogre Kingdoms, etc. Not to mention the mini-DLC in each of those with lords, high elves, etc.
Once again, the decision falls on me... food or DLC?
Looks like I'm going hungry :3
1:22
Cue the last march of the Ents and with eagles involved too
Will the skeeven join the game as a dlc, and how many more dlc will they make. Do anybody know somthing if this ?
8 more or less, and the expansions.
ohh thanks, ^^
this will be amazing. ^^thx for the comment
So... any news on that continental-sized "can stand on it's own as a game" expansion pack CA? You sounded pretty excited that you were making that kind of expansion pack.
Seperate team is working on the second game, should be out next year/early year after
TheNorth15 the expansion plan was every 2 - 3 years. then all of them will form a giant grand campain
Lol, so impatient
Berstich
Can't wait. It'll be like a Fantasy version of Total War Empire... only provinces aren't heavily country-sized.
TheNorth15 RIP turn-time tho
so they're mostly ment to kill beastmen
Yes.Those are their main antagonists.
Eh, mostly they just kill ANYONE who wanders into Athel Loren. Sometimes they'll leave the forest on their versions of Crusades or "The Hunt" as the narrator called them. Since I don't own their Armybook, I can't tell you what The Hunt is mainly for.
Given proximity. beastmen love corrupting things and love corrupting the largest entity in the Old World, the forest of Athel Loren. It's a given that Wood elves and beastmen are antagonistic to each other.
Which is funny given that at any other time beastmen are the mooks of the WH fantasy universe.
Is more like Beastmen always try to attack them in their house.
I hear they don't mind too much if Bretonnian woodcutters come to the forest to gather wood.
But they do monitor their activity and god help them if they cut down one tree too many.
With the Treemen models I sincerely hope the LoTR mods are just around the next corner..
I hope that somehow CA gets the Rights to do a full Total War : Middleearth :)
HOLY FACK!!! BY SIGMAR YEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Finally!.. and now we wait for the rest of the Elves.. also I would like to see the Varg and Scaeling to be playable.
Just got Wood!
I hope that aside from the Wood Elves living in Athel Loren, they also add the ones living in the Imperial province of Nordland and maybe even some of the ones in Kislev
Oh may GOD yes!!!Im an fan of total war warhammer i like the game very much and with this new DLC its gonna be even better continue the good work CA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And may i sugest the next historical title be in WW1 please CA!!!!!!!!also the wood elves are one of my favotite factions in the warhammer lore what is yours????????? Give me your opinions and like the comment please
Ww1(world war one)
I want the next historical title to be called Total War Khan. Basically it's just Medieval 3 from Japan all the way to the British Isles with some Samurai and Asian Culture thrown in there.
Sons and daughters of Loren REJOICE! THE WILD HUNT HAS COME!
AND MOTHERFUCKING WILD RIDERS!
I'm crying!!!! Best faction ever!!!
Love you CA! Begging you to do every other faction in the Warhammer universe at least as half appealing as this Wood Elves!!!
Still waiting for the lizards...
Not going to happen until the second game. They're on a completely different continent from the current factions.
John Johnson Still waiting...
StalkerQtya still waiting for next warhammer game
I hope they release the music for this. It brings me so many goosebumps
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!
I really hope you guys incorporate the Sisters of Twilight into this army eventually (I didn't see Forest Dragons on the list either... it's almost complete bar these). *Edit* as pointed out, there are Forest Dragons! Weeee! Just one more unit to go!
There is a dragon at 0:52 , but i don't know if it's a forest dragon.
Dragons are there. You can see one in the video at 0:53 :)
It is
You guys are right, I almost didn't notice it even when rewatching! Hell yes!
So all that's left are the Sisters of Twilight (which they can do in a pack similar to Belegar and Skarsnik etc)!
yeah probably, beastman and wood elves pack? that would be great
Wait, wait, wait, hold your horses. You're releasing Wood Elves WITHOUT Brettonian campaign?
Oh my god finallyyy ı have been waiting soo long for thid
1:49 Mel Gibson is a Wood Elf?
These are Ents from Lord of the Rings :D
but more aggressive
And they drink your blood.
Elves!!! Been waiting till they have this. Look very nice. Can't wait to buy it.
*YAY, NEXT DLC (sigh)!!!*
.....and now I'll precede to watch this a million times
Morghur! !!!
Beastmen Update !!
Damm that will be so cool, OP but cool!! Also we need abilities to beastmen they are nothing compared to tabletop.
They're much better in TW:W than in tabletop.
I hate that corruption spreading fucker so much.
The Wild Hunt begins! Badass line
THIS IS AWESOME!
Legendary Lord for Bretonnia will be Geralt of Rivia, hired to deal with the Wild Hunt!
