Wow, I am really disappointed, and I am not even a Warhammer fan. But only 4 factions, and 1 DLC faction? For real?
That's just a smack in the face. I like TW games, but this is going too far. To my understanding Chaos is a major factor in Warhammer lore... if this trend continues we will have to pre-order/pay for factions such as Spain in Medieval III or Empire II.
For me it would no be such a big deal if CA's/Sega's releases were actually smooth as butter, but they tend to release barely enjoyable bug ridden games with lackluster content, and now lock away major factions to trick people into preordering. Why not look at other developers and their preorder exclusives such as Witcher 3?
Even
ing EA, the devil of DLC, is a brighter example than this, just check the Battlefront preorder bonuses. It's basically all unlockable content, just an instant access kind of thing.
Shame on you CA, and shame on you SEGA. I wish it could be different, but I cannot preorder your games anymore, that kind of trust is gone due to repeated disappointment. I was open to the Warhammer concept, but your heartless business practice seems prove to me that you do not even trust your own game to be successful AFTER release...
