The second in a trilogy and sequel to the award-winning Total War: Warhammer, Total War: Warhammer II brings players a breathtaking new narrative campaign, set across the vast continents of Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth and the Southlands. The Great Vortex Campaign builds pace to culminate in a definitive and climactic endgame, an experience unlike any other Total War title to date.
Playing as one of 8 Legendary Lords across 4 iconic races from the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, players must succeed in performing a series of powerful arcane rituals in order to stabilise or disrupt The Great Vortex, while foiling the progress of the other races. Each Legendary Lord has a unique geographical starting position, and each race offers a distinctive new playstyle with unique campaign mechanics, narrative, methods of war, armies, monsters, Lores of Magic, legendary characters, and staggering new battlefield bombardment abilities.
Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total War Warhammer
II will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign. Merging the landmasses of The Old World plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any owned Race from both titles.

Can anyone remember how low the price of the first one got to before it released?

it's £21.99 without any discount code applied. You can find the thread if you search for it.

You could get the Base game of the first one in humble monthly for a tenner. Let me rant a bit:
Tons of DLC's, Major game breaking bug not fixed for weeks, and all this new content could have been released for the first game but they want more money. Please don't preorder. Don't get me wrong, the first game was great but their business practice is just disgusting. As much as I loved or wanted to love the first game I will not buy the new one until it's heavily discounted.

That Denuvo protection is apparently so difficult to crack that CA managed to get nearly a year's worth of unpirated sales through and could therefore charge what they wanted and implement whatever paid DLC strategy they wished.
While I oppose the pirating of good games, I'm worried that prices will NOT come down once piracy is diminished.

I actually think they've improved quite dramatically with Warhammer. Their business practice is far better than it was at the time of Attila or Rome 2. Also, despite the issues with their business practice, many other companies are far worse. EA is a big one, or Paradox Interactive. Sega is positively charitable compared to some of their competitors.

Paradox are the worst when it comes to barebones games and paid DLC.

Got the first game for £32 and logged about 150hrs, at £25 this is a bargain I reckon. Can't wait to try out the high elves! :wink:

The problem is us, gamers. Do not ever preorder. Don't give money for something that some dick Tom or Harry has not even started coding in his basement in California. It's not a small indie studio that needs to release a half baked game in early access in order to finance it. But people think it's okay to buy a base game for £35 quid then pay £10 for each bloody dlc. I don't even dare to calculate how much i paid for total war Warhammer altogether. Don't make the same mistake.
