Now, if CA would be so good as to *finally* share with us what siege battles will look/be like...
And the actual game, and the map and anything that isn’t flashy roster videos
The CA forum is already getting the pitchforks and torches out
Yeah, it's the same thing on Reddit. There's a lot of impatient/angry folks who feel like CA is jerking them around with not revealing more significant material, and focusing only on the faction reveals so far.
Can't say I blame them either, to be honest. Bears & dragons are great and everything, but they're no substitute for getting to see the actual meat of the game.
Between CA's uncharacteristic bungling of info dumps and overall community engagement, combined with WH3's release being delayed until next year (never mind that I predicted that from the get-go), makes me increasingly concerned. The way things are looking right now, I fear the game's launch could be a shit-show the likes of which we've not seen since Rome II, or possibly even Empire. Hopefully I'm just being overly cynical/pessimistic, but I worry.
Interesting side note for miniatures gamers is the on going development of Warhammer Old Worlds which is essentially a revival of Warhammer Fantasy. Also GW has released battle scrolls for WH Fantasy factions awhile back so they can be played in AoS. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NO/Warhammer-Age-of-Sigmar-Rules
Nice! I've heard/read a lot about how the success of the Warhammer Total War series has revived an interest in the WH Fantasy tabletop games -- and/or made clear to GW how much general interest there still was in the latter -- but I hadn't realized they'd gone so far as to actually begin working on a new/improved version until. Very cool.
