Maverick5588 If you can run Attila I wouldn't be surprised if you could run this game just as well imo. But happy to see you excited for this awesome game :D
Lord Rexasaur if you keep making these sweet videos and Warhammer: Total War is a big hit......im predicting you would get pretty famous pretty soon with these nice lore videos!
Great video! Just a little information: as "von Carstein" is inspired by German names, you'd pronounce it like this: von, the "V" like the "PH" in phone, rest of it like "on" and the "EI" in Carstein like the "I" in high
***** in the game will it be to cause they say on a interview the game is gonna be 3 parts with 4 faction each game i think with sometimes dlc factions
+Pierre Preuthun well remember this is coming from the guys who made rome 2 so i hope your ready for the dlc barrage of 14.99 for race and campaign. Thanks sega and creative assembly. :D
It´s funny how Warhammer created this universe from history. Transylvania became Sylvania and the empire is strictly similar in a way with the Holy Roman Empire (You know ,the empire that wasn´t holy, nor Roman and neither an Empire). Rexasaur mentioned the *Strigoi* as part of the Vampire counts , that comes from the Transylvanian/Romanian mythology but they wern´t vampires so them being part of the Vampire counts is a no no. Quick mention , the *Strigoi* are usualy considerd the most powerful bastards in the Romanian mythology and unlike the Vampires , they really were immortal, as in , you had no way of killing them (unlike the vampires). In the real mythology they were more like devilish creatures or souls ,but not blood sucking bastards :D oh and they were invisible mostly , but when they wanted they were capable of transforming themselves in animals or even occupy the body of a person or vampire or pretty much anything. Because of that some people make a confusion between the *Strigoi* and the Vampires whom were some little bastards .
Vampires do have sorcerer = Necromancer. I hope there will be a DLC for the different Bloodlines of the Vampires. Von Carstein = Classic sophisticared Count Dracula - Style Necrarch = Nosferatu, rotten and crazy Magevampires (my favorites) Strigoi = More Beasts than Person Lahmia = seducing Vampireladys Blooddragons = Vampireknights with Honour
You know when you said Vampire Counts are really unique and there's nothing like them? Well, they're actually quite similar in mechanics to Tomb Kings. Tomb Kings are just a hell of a lot more awesome! (Definitely no bias there)
Brecht Tomme They are similar but different in terms of units and powers. That said, Undead have to have several things in common since they are all undead xD
I have been wondering about the raising the dead part as well. I was thinking that in a certain mode they could gain free units on the campaign map (like the tanukhids),also if in battle do the raised dead join existing units or form new ones? If the latter is it anywhere or from where people have died as if anywhere good luck guarding artillery and archers who will be distracted or defeated.
I hope so. I'm really hoping CA captures the world of warhammer well and does it justice, I've been waiting so long for a game that really does the warhammer world justice.
Bish Brash Bosh same here mate, been waiting for this game very long time. So glad we have VC in the first game, amd Manfred von Carstein is great character in Vampire Wars book. I hope to see Varghulfs and Terrorgheists in the army.
Bish Brash Bosh I saw an interview where they said they where making a trilogy of WH:TW games each covering a different area with new races - each could be played on their own but if you have more than one the game map enlarges to cover all areas and allows all armies covered by the games you own. First game: Greenskins, empire, vampires and dwarfs. assuming 4 races in each game that's 12 total.
I'm willing to bet they'll make vampire counts able to "hire" undead units as faction specific mercenaries. Instead of making a new mechanic they'll simply rename an old one. Also I think a player will probably have to choose between having a large army of crappy units or an elite army of special units.
Not sure I know that during Vlad von Carstein reign, he did have living in his armies, mostly Sylvanians serving to guard him during the day. But that changed when died and Konrad took over and then Manfred our playable Count in TW Warhammer.
Vampire count would have escape mechanism, shrouds and mysts n stuff will they? You go in exploit a breach, then disappear into the myst before the enemy can counter you. Empire has vah Helsing type witch hunters or something, immune to horror n stuff.
+sirpieman300 They probably wont have morale, they fight til wiped out no doubt. to have morale, you have to ''feel''. The undead do not. Zombies and Skeletons dont have emotion, remorse or fear.....because they are dead
Leon Reaper This was the case in Call of Warhammer mod for Medieval 2, but I wonder if it will be the same in TW:WH. In the tabletop, if they lose combat, a number of models 'collapse' in line with how badly they lost. That would be hard to do in the video game I would think.
I wonder if Edward Cullen and Bill Compton can come out in the vampire army in Warhammer Total War. Lol. Nah, I'm just kidding. That would not fit. I'm just a little disappointed that the high elves, chaos,Skaven, and the wood elves with their tree like creatures won't come out as playable factions.
+Izzy Sy A common misconception is that the world of 40k and Fantasy are the same. They are not. Fantasy is set in a completely different dimension to our own, whilst 40k is set in the future of OUR timeline, so things like Julius Ceasar and the world wars happened in 40k, but never happened in Fantasy
This game is going to be so insanely epic I will even buy a new computer just to play it. So so so excited
Maverick5588 If you can run Attila I wouldn't be surprised if you could run this game just as well imo. But happy to see you excited for this awesome game :D
Thanks for these videos. Brilliant work. Do do more!
James Richins Thanks :D
Lord Rexasaur if you keep making these sweet videos and Warhammer: Total War is a big hit......im predicting you would get pretty famous pretty soon with these nice lore videos!
Haha thank you. I adore both of these games and I hope I can share that love with all you folks!
Great video! Just a little information: as "von Carstein" is inspired by German names, you'd pronounce it like this: von, the "V" like the "PH" in phone, rest of it like "on" and the "EI" in Carstein like the "I" in high
+Blackstag 1710 Thank you! I will keep that in mind for when I do my LPs!
I really hope that they will implement skavens and lizardmen in the future :D btw awesome vidoes watched them all
***** Thank you so much!
***** They might add them in the other parts of the trilogy~ They're going for quality over quantity :)
***** in the game will it be to cause they say on a interview the game is gonna be 3 parts with 4 faction each game i think with sometimes dlc factions
+Pierre Preuthun well remember this is coming from the guys who made rome 2 so i hope your ready for the dlc barrage of 14.99 for race and campaign. Thanks sega and creative assembly. :D
its sega's fault
I hope Ulrika will be a special unit for the Vampire Counts, that would be awesome.
Love this series! Great job man :D

I hope there will be a DLC for the different Bloodlines of the Vampires.
Von Carstein = Classic sophisticared Count Dracula - Style
Necrarch = Nosferatu, rotten and crazy Magevampires (my favorites)
Strigoi = More Beasts than Person
Lahmia = seducing Vampireladys
Blooddragons = Vampireknights with Honour
Darvid Oba OMG I forgot the necromancers. (and the wrights to be fair :O)
Good videos. I think alot of TW players who don't play the tabletop game need a bit of introduction to the world.
Khorney That was what I was thinking too ^^
Vampire faction should have a lot of civil war tendencies.
I want a Vampire count like Dracula Untold. Goes alone against an army alone because he has physical power tree?
Vampire counts are amazing fighters and possess terrifying physical capabilities.

+Cameron Wixcey
They form new ones, but i bet you have already watched the stream.
I used to play a lot of Tomb Kings so I'm really interested to see if they're in any future games/DLC
Bish Brash Bosh I'd be surpirsed if they aren't. I think they will be included in the Expansion that will add Bretonnia, Wood elves and Beastmen
I hope so. I'm really hoping CA captures the world of warhammer well and does it justice, I've been waiting so long for a game that really does the warhammer world justice.

Matthew Nelson we'll see, though I do hope that they will do some raise dead spells :P

Vampires only night battles. SO that helps with the scariness. Cause you cant see the invisible enemy army of monsters.
Vampire count would have escape mechanism, shrouds and mysts n stuff will they? You go in exploit a breach, then disappear into the myst before the enemy can counter you. Empire has vah Helsing type witch hunters or something, immune to horror n stuff.
What about the femir, amazon weman, dogs of war, sea elves, and the pegmi, the halflngs, chaos dwarfs, and some of the other discontinued armies.
I think you answered your own question
is this game out yet?
how will moral work with them? arent they like all fearless?
sirpieman300 They collapse if they run away, but yeah, a really good question!!

I'm catching up with these :p
Yeah deleted my post once I got to that part of the vid - hell of a response time you have
Sagnus1 I think that my response time is mostly due to luck than sitting there getting notified xD

What happens to the vampire counts in 40k?
