Daily Sketch: Vampire Knight

Sort of. The campaign I mentioned focuses on only a portion of the world. High Elves, Skaven, Lizardmen, and Dark Elves. You only play as one of those four, and you all race to complete a series of rituals before the other factions to win. The thing is though, the more ahead you get, the more the other factions will throw everything they've got at you, and they'll go straight for your capital usually. Lots of fun battles. There is another mode called 'Mortal Empires' in which you can play as any faction from either game (as long as you own both) and you just play to take over the map. It's fun, because you get to fight everyone. The map is sorta shrunk for this mode though. They 'compact' it.

That’s awesome. Can’t wait to pick it up. I’m gonna rick world with Lizardmen. Are both continents available for conquest now? If so I’m going to do a lot of raiding with the Norscan faction.

I think they did a really good job adding in a campaign feature that will generate armies to seek out and attack your most important cities during certain pivotal moments of the campaign. It keeps the pressure up to field a certain number of armies, and not to wage needless war far off across the map against a weaker faction. The problem with most Total War campaigns is that they are really exciting in the beginning, but once you have a certain amount of economy going and a few stacks of armies, that game becomes a bit of a cake-walk. TWW2 fixes that in a fun way, and since you know the attacks are coming you get to prepare and maybe race to clear out a certain area you want to use as a buffer.

I haven’t grabbed the second one yet. But I play the shit out of the first one. Probably gonna treat myself to it for Christmas.

I have been playing a lot of Total War (though I just play Dwarves or Lizardmen over and over again).

No, but it felt like it.

It shows your favorite hero, after all she has a Batman shield, looking hot, nice man

Ace

She looks like she could be a Knight for the Vampire Counts in Warhammer.

Very cool design

That black guy

I mean Batman's also just a dude in an abstract costume. Unless Manbat was your favorite villain: then you may have an issue!
