Warhammer Mod 2.0 Preview

[mrtn]

If you play on not too large maps and not the maximum number of civs you should be ok.

QUOTE: no grated mod than Warhammer!!!!

Apart from cheese.

Anyway im so anxious and happy. My Modems only 56k so it will take forever to get it but it will be worht it. I already have 1.1 so is their going to be a seperate file which is smaller which updates it? or will i have to get the full thing?

Tyrion, I remember embryodead saying there will only be one download. Go to a friend with broadband and a CD burner.

There is anything wrong with it?

 

[Raw is War?]

I appreciate the screenshots guys, keep them coming!

This may sound like a silly question, but what was Warhammer Orginally? a computer game? A series of books? This looks really cool BTW. I have cable modem so this should be a quick download for me

 

[Supa]

A Wargame ? A table turn-based wargame ? I don't know the english name.

 

[Mistfit]

Ok I googled it. That has really got me excited for the release of the 2.0 version.

Do we actually get to play with:
Fell Bats
Strigoi Vampires
Orc Shaman
Night Goblin Squigs
Daemonettes on Steeds of Slaanesh (I'm Hoping for this one)
Thunderers
and Dwarf Gyrocopters

If so this will be very cool indeed.

One Question: If each Race has their own tech tree does that mean that trading techs is no longer a strategy?

One Side Note:
A long long time ago I played Blood Bowl - I prolly still have the Bloodweiser penant somewhere.


Edit this brings up a whole new area for making avatars. If anyone has any requests let me know.

Sample: Wood Elf

 

[Tyrion]

Got any Chaos? Mrtn how many computers do you play with?

I believe the Thunderers and Gyrocopters are in. At least there are untis made for them. Not sure about the rest.

There are 4 different vampires. Though two of them share gfx's. I dont think there is a orc shaman, but a goblin instead. ED said he would like to add Squigs, but its not in the August release. Thunderes and Gyro's are in.

Each civ does not have their own tech tree, but some flavour tech's. So most techs are common to all, but there really are alot of flavour techs too. Also some civs have the same flavour techs, like orcs and goblins, they can ofcause trade these techs with eachother, but not with the other races.

Here are some screenshots from old beta games, this means there has been some changes to tech tree etc in the mean time, but I figured what the heck I might aswell post'em. Playing as Nippon.

Earth Elemental Island
Dark Age, Vintaoism, Monasticism and Deforestation are flavour techs.

Thanks for the Screenshots - especially the one from the tech tree (the one on page 1 is way too small). It's great to see that deforestation has become an earlier tech (I've allmost never chopped down any forest since it came too late and I mostly retire when all resarch is done, because of games becoming quite boring for me then...).
I guess the new tech trees change the fact that it was quite useless to build any science improvements or do research at all after having researched about the half of magic era, especially when playing orcs/goblins or chaos, because there wasn't anything you really needed in the later techs (except if you wanted something to trade).
I thought it was intentional, so especially orcs/goblins had a somewhat primitive flavor, but for me, it absolutely killed these factions in terms of desirability to play them - has that changed or are they still like that?

I also had the problem that researching all techs was done way too fast (might also be because of my typical scenarios with all civs on a relatively small map) and the game continued for quite some time after every tech was known by everyone. Could anyone tell if the new tech trees solve that problem?

Can't wait to find out myself, but until then, I appreciate every info I can get .

I can't wait to get this mod! Do you need verssion1.0 for it to work?

 

[Mistfit]

Got any Chaos? Mrtn how many computers do you play with?

If there is a specific unit you'd like let me know these are my 1st attempts. Keep in mind on the skull one I can do any colors you's like.

Here are some screenshots just taken today from my ongoing game as my favourite faction, Chaos.
