Very nice. This and a DOW 3 that's more like the first series is all I could ask for.
..And an Inquisitor Rpg.

So, is this in the same universe as Age of Reckoning? Because if so, I am totally on board. My all time favorite MMO, ever, and my all time favorite fantasy setting. It's a shame the RvR endgame was so terribly broken and it failed. Still my favorite gaming experience to date.
You mean a Star Wars game to go with the new trilogy?
Hell, the LOTR mod for Medieval II was pretty damn good too. And Game of Thrones.
So I guess there are some fantasy settings I'd like, just as long as the historical games are still the main goal.

There was a crazy ambitious Russian Warhammer mod for Medieval 2, which was really great (and a bit buggy).
Hopefully CA can avoid another buggy mess. Not buying it until I see the post-release reviews.
Don't fuck this up CA!

Sounds awesome.
Always wanted LoTR Total War as well.

I don't think I can wait out the DLC releases for this one. The racial variations are going to make this supreme.
My first thoughts too.

So I can play as Skaven?
Then you should play MOS (a Medieval Total War 2 sub-mod compilation for Third Age v.3.2)
It's a great mod, but the graphics are slightly outdated if you're fine with that. It's the best you'll get until CA/SEGA obtains the LOTR license to make a "real" total war game. It's possible this might never even happen.

The historical settings are the reason I love the series so much.
Worst news ever. I was hoping for Victoria Total War or something.
I'm a little disappointed but will still play it regardless; I do love the current mod for Medieval.
Victoria Total War is something you're going to see on a new engine. That timeframe would be perfect to test a new Campaign model and introduce new mechanics. The battle system is getting closer to perfection but they really need to improve the campaign portion

I'm confused by the topic, haven't we known this for quite some time? People were even expecting it to be revealed in it's full glory but it turned out to be be that Atilla game

But the important question: Is it End Times or Regular Times?
What people did know, was that Creative Assembly has the Warhammer licence from Games Workshop, and an job ad on CA's page that mention a warhammer game. It was merely a good bet that it was a total war style game, up until now.I'm confused by the topic, haven't we known this for quite some time?

This is a dream.
No, Total Waaagh: Warhammer.
Races, at least:
Empire
Orcs
Wood Elves/High Elves
Chaos
Skaven.
But Dwarves, Undead, Lizardmen, Dark Elves will obviously need to be introduced in expansions.

Yep, me too. I hope there will be story mode.

"No, Total Waaagh: Warhammer."
Yes, it has to be this.

took them long enough
magic will be an interesting addition to the games, as well as unique abilities such as resurrecting undead units, flying units and characters that can be equipped with a wide range of magic artifacts. These things could add quite a bit of depth to the combat

That was quite a big ruse constructed by one of the more infamous trolls in the Company of Heroes community. http://www.coh2.org/news/22726/gamescom-2014-milka-s-blog I know about this because I talked to milka about this before he left for Cologne.
That being said Relic are looking for a new Executive Producer amongst a few other interesting positions.

I've known this was on the cards for a while so I am surprised that it wasn't announced earlier. I am guessing that they wanted to give Rome a bit of space. I presume Atilla will be the final Rome expansion.
The timing on this is strange though. I wouldn't think they would announce the game so close to Attila, so either the book shouldn't have had that line in it or the book wasn't expected to be released for some time....
Curious as to the timing of the game's release. I would love for it to be this fall, but realistically, it's probably coming around this time next year to follow the ~12-18 month cadence of the Total War games.
Can't wait for a DoW 3 also if that's in the works...

They do, but doesn't mean I can't dream.
I think a GOT game would be much more likely out of three I mentioned though, but still won't happen.
*sees the topic's title*
*reads "Warhammer"*
*gets uberhyped*
*realizes that there's no "40K" in said title*
Relic's gotta be working on something.

What about the evil men of Warhammer? I want them in too!
Especially, those huge armored Chosen Chaos Knights!

I am hoping this game uses some sexy DX12 magic, so that it can have many thousands of units at a time...

The only correct answer.
Like a week ago I decided to see what's going on with Warhammer (I played when I was like 12-15) and it turns out that they've done something fucking crazy, and now the world is basically ending.
There are no Wood Elves/High Elves/Dark Elves any more. They're all united under Malekith the Eternity King (!!!), and Ulthuan sank and Naggaroth has been invaded by Chaos.
The Lizardmen have all fled to another planet (!!!).
Like I mean literally crazy shit.
