Total War developer Creative Assembly has simply unveiled the most recent, much-anticipated marketing campaign pack for Warhammer II. Curse of the Vampire Coast will flesh out the prevailing Vampire Coast faction with 4 new Legendary Pirate Lords and a roster of undead horrors, however regardless of the maritime theme, it is going to not add naval battles. There will, nonetheless, be a change to how naval fights are resolved.
The information is available in an FAQ printed simply because the Vampire Coast announcement went dwell. CA says it “would be a vast undertaking and certainly beyond the scope of a DLC pack” to “build a system that adds full naval battles to the game.”
However, a free replace alongside the Vampire Coast DLC will add the choice to battle naval encounters manually moderately than autoresolve them. Doing so will drop each armies “on a nearby island”, so you’ll be able to battle the battle as if it had been a typical land-based encounter. There may also be a particular map for attacking a Black Ark at sea, with a land-based battle happening on the Ark itself, beneath menacing Dark Elf structure.
CA notes that that is principally the identical concept that modders Maruka and Marthenil had, and says “we were somewhat surprised (and more than a little impressed)” to see the identical concept emerge from the neighborhood final week.
Here’s the FAQ, which provides loads extra thrilling tidbits concerning the Vampire Coast and its accompanying replace. It sounds just like the strategy will probably be much like that taken with May’s Queen and Crone DLC, in that one other free Legendary Lord will arrive alongside the Vampire Coast, and there will probably be an replace for a Warhammer 1 faction. This time, it’s the Vampire Counts who get a lick of paint, “empowering them with new mechanics and revised skills and abilities.” Could this imply that we’ll see the outdated vampire bloodlines, equivalent to Necrarchs and Lahmians, arrive in a significant method?
Curse of the Vampire Coast is out on November eight and pre-orders are live on Steam now. As is Sega’s wont, pre-ordering the game will get you a 10% low cost off the same old value of £13.99 ($18.99). You’ll additionally discover extra info and screenshots on the Steam web page.
