Some new news :D

[HigoChumbo]

For convenience:

3:00 - Luthor Harkon's Vampire Coast shown , just after that we see an empire port city at 3:07

I'd say that's just a minor vampire settlement.

Pirazzo´s Lost Legion

Bit too blurry and too early to tell, but it looks like they are still sticking to generic Empire models.

To me its pretty similar

To me its pretty similar

It's a very quick and blurry flyover, but I got the impression that it was using the same assets of Warhammer 1's Empire units.

I saw a morion on that Pirazzo stack general

[HigoChumbo]

Just to make sure, are we talking about this guy?

yes, but you are focusing on "general" model....look up at the banner.

[HigoChumbo]

yes, but you are focusing on "general" model....look up at the banner.

Not sure of what you mean. I just see a skull with a laurel wreath, which is also an Empire symbol:





That would be yet another recycled asset from Warhammer 1's Empire:

Banner looks like Pizzaro´s Lost Legion ,which means Dogs of War. That´s the whole point. Dogs of War. As new information. I don´t care about ingame model general as humans will feature a lot of recycled assests and we can hardly judge from one model anyway.... (You are expecting everything new for even W1 races/ factions especially non-playable ones??)

Wow so people who haven't played Warhammer 1 are blatantly being bribed into buying it, otherwise the pre-order bonus has no worth. I've never seen a company do that before, offer pre-order content for a PREVIOUS game.
My reaction when I see it's about $11 cheaper on Humble Bundle compared to Steam though.

It's not much of a bribe. Buy a $60 computer game you may not want, to save maybe $10 on a DLC for the same game you may not want, all so you can take advantage of an early adopters bonus for the game you do want. I mean, in that case if your only reason for pre-ordering/buying first week is to get the DLC, seems you would be better off not pre-ordering/buying first week. And if you change your mind about wanting Warhammer 1 at a later date, you can always buy it and the DLC. By which point the game at least may well be on sale.

Now if there's other factors at play, like a better price if you pre-order/adopt early, I can understand buying something you don't want to get something you do. I have extra copies of several books I already owned, because the price for buying say a set of three where I had the first was still cheaper than buying the second and third separately. But otherwise, seems like something most people wouldn't do. So where's the bribe?

All the Best,

Welsh Dragon.

They're quoting something I said a few pages back, dunno why they didn't offer any of their own thoughts on it. I just think the DLC thing is slightly shifty/peculiar.

Ah, sorry. Didn't realise.

I think it's different, but I don't see it as shifty. I think it's a response to the Chaos Warriors DLC backlash. I mean people can't accuse them of "cutting content" from Warhammer 2 if the content isn't for Warhammer 2. But SEGA probably still wants a pre-order incentive. So offering everyone a 100% discount on a new DLC for Warhammer 1 if you pre-order or buy Warhammer 2 first week means they have an incentive (happy SEGA) while at the same time hopefully avoiding the massive backlash (happy Players,) and still offering something extra for people who do buy early (happy Early Adopters.)

Whether it succeeds, only time will tell.

I'd agree with you if I thought the pre-order bonus was chosen in order to avoid being charged by the community with cut content. Instead, the pre-order bonus targets those of us who don't own Warhammer 1. If they convince us to buy both games to have the full experience, they stand to make much more money.

Cheers,

Sure this is not just another character for total war arena?

If you're going to buy WH2 jusy for the sake of WH1 dlc then I think it"s something wrong somewhere, not on CA or SEGA part to be sure.

The pre-order bonus is about buying WH1 not WH2 -- DLC is always about having the "complete experience"
