It's amazing how this game began with just the old world, in an era where Warhammer Fantasy Tabletop was cancelled. Then suddenly the 2nd game has 4 continents and rare units like Dread Saurians, and finally to Cathay. A faction that wasn't even fleshed out before all this. Warhammer Fantasy really is back.
I'm still digesting this, not totally sure this design fits Warhammer right now. I had the same thoughts about the Tau - who are like the Asian-inspired race for W40K (Japanese, obviously Cathay is based on Chinese). Maybe it was the CGI/rendering of the characters here is too clean and bright and doesn't have that grimdark aesthetic of Warhammer....need to see more
"4 new continents" What 4 new continents are you speaking of? I know GW never fleshed out Cathay as a playable faction. But when I first got into the hobby back in '96 there was a poster that had the full global map on it, labelling the nations and whatnot around the world. I was a High Elf player when I first started, and so much of the lore I knew at the time only talked about Ulthuan, so it amazed me seeing that map and seeing that there were High Elf fortresses all over the world including off the coast of Cathay.
Sun Tzu said that! And I'm sure he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do pal, because he invented it! And he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor!
Some warhammer games struggle to just get in the base lore. You guys have covered so much of the lore and went even further into the fantasy lore and have the best warhammer game hands down.
I wish they would rethink the situation and sign on for a 4th or even 5th part. Having ALL of Warhammer Fantasy in one game would make a legendary game title for years. (including naval battle of course)
One thing I didnt see coming was them using the Shogun 2 announcer as Lord Magister. His voice was soo ingrained in my head that when I heard him, I know its him.
These guys are the funniest of the entire trailer. Just cruising around dodging missiles and having a good time. Well except that one guy who got shot from the sky xD
This is historic. We've had more information about Grand Cathay in this 3 minute clip than GW ever officially wrote in its entirety. Good job at making it as amazing as it deserves to be!
this is so true, I agree with everything you said. As far as this goes on, we may see newly reborn WH Fantasy Battles. I already want next trilogy of Total War, or any computer game that expands on history of this universe. This surely is going to be a masterpiece!
@@HeloisGevit They've been talking about it for awhile now. It's going to be set several hundred years before the End Times. It's also going to be done by Forge World which means it's probably going to be like Horus Heresy is to Warhammer 40K. A separate large scale specialty game that will probably have amazing, but expensive, models.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you can turn into a dragon you need know neither the enemy nor yourself to prevail in every battle." ― Sun Tzu
I dont know how things are in Cathay, but usually when royalty sends their children to some frontier outposts that gets attacked constantly it usually means they want you to die so you dont take the throne. Considering said invading force is Chaos that makes this even more sus
@@HuntersOfTheNorth1 the emperor, yes. Are their children immortal too? Immortality usually does not pass down in its full effect. Usually kids get just immortality as in you do not age
All the Dragon Emperor kids are dragons that can turn into humans. Likely he have so many of them they fill the role of governors of each province, and the strongest one gets to be the Earthly Emperor
Not always. In eastern cultures, the concept of honour and leading in combat were essential to the art of ruling. In India for example, a more south Asian country too, the warrior caste of Kshatriyas was duty bound to participate in the battle and many Indian Kings (and queens) died on the Frontline.
Weirdly, what got me most hyped is something probably not going to happen: The idea that at 2:02 we'll have units that can pass through each other more smoothly
My hope too, after scenes in LOTR where groups like the elves do clean moves and transfers I would like to see the same in this game, even if it varies by faction.
As a long time fan of old world Warhammer fantasy seeing it buried by games workshop to now be resurrected by Creative Assembly with more lore and world building leaves me deeply grateful. Thank you Creative Assembly! I hope GW can find more amazing partners like you guys to help further develop and bring to life there fantasy worlds.
It's a partnership but it's not really CA doing it or not alone at least. Kislev and Cathay were actually designed for the old world tabletop game that is currently being developed by GW. They mentioned that they have done concept art, designed stats and abilities for every cathay unit in tabletop and that this behind the scenes stuff was given to CA to translate in WH3.
@@jpem4664 Doubtful. CA is much bigger than GW design team. From what I understand, CA asks for all of GW’s old documentation for their previous work and CA moves forward from there. GW then works parallel with CA, likely using whatever CA finishes first for their own purposes. Vampire Coast is a fine example of CA’s creative independence from GW. Yes, CA is doing it alone because they’re bigger and better.
I do worry that they take a bit too much influence from the vampire coast, Elite halberd infantry, lots of gun units and a few giant constructs. I am hoping as well as small airships, which remind me of gun bats, they will have some large airships.
@@Chickenhunter9 Na, CA themselves said that GW came up with the units and lore in their FAQ (which is in this video's description) : WHOA, Y’ALL JUST CAME UP WITH THIS? Well, not quite. Grand Cathay was first mentioned in the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battles and made sporadic background appearances throughout its history. Games Workshop have created and reimagined all of those fleeting references into a full army, and we’ve put that army along with their empire into Total War: WARHAMMER III. This includes their own characters, units, magic, history, and much more. Much like Kislev, it’s been an exciting and collaborative process with Games Workshop, and they will have several bits of news and information on their community site too.
The color of playable lords is not based on yin and yang. It is based on Four Symbols. Gurdian of north is black tortoise relating to water(which corresponds to black storm dragon of the norther province in the game). Guardian of west is white tiger that relates to metal(which corresponds to white iron dragon of the west province in the game). FYI , Guardian of south is vermillion bird that relates to fire. And Guardian of east is azure dragon relating to wood.
@@ddolki1990 should be. dragon of the center is a yellow dragon with earth as its element. It makes sense, since in Chinese symbology it represent Xuanyuan, the family name of the legendary yellow Emperor, one of the 3 Chinese mythical ancestors, and usually considered as the most important one. In the case of Cathay, this is precisely what Dragon Emepror is, the founder of Grand Cathay, the metaphorical ancestor of Cathayan human and literal ancestor of Cathyan dragon. Therefore the most important dragon and occupy the middle spot.
@@maxydal3512 Nah it's gotta be Kugath Plaguefather, right? That would follow with the theme so far. Main greater demon of each god. Glottkin def DLC though
@@JackIsNotInTheBox Depends on the army. Skaven, for example, are pretty brutal even on low settings because of their intense model count and things like warp throwers spewing hard-to-LoD projectiles out all over the place.
You actually can. If you can run Attila you can run this for sure. This game uses old engine anyway. If you had RTX 2080 for example you would still get low fps in big battles as engine can hardly use 30% of it. However old graphic cards can run this no issue. You will just have to tone down detail as that eats lot of VRAM. Raw power of GPU is irrelevant engine is too old to use it. All it matters is you got enough VRAM. 2gb would be bare minimum for large unit size. 4gb plus ideal for ultra unit size.
@jethro riz You can tell me that unit size has nothing to do with VRAM? It so happens i played on same setup but different GPUS and vram makes huge difference. Unit sizes matter more than graphic settings for fps depending on your VRAM. If you ever played on multiple cards that had different amounts of VRAM you would never say something like that. Which tells me you've no idea what you're talking about. And maybe played the game only on one PC or GPU all the time. As for CPU cores who talked about that? Multithreading is another issue entirely. You will still get better results on a CPU that has higher single core power than number of cores. But that's another thing entirely. I was talking about GPU. You can easily monitor GPU usage during your playtime and you will see game barely ever uses over 30% on your 2080 while game goes to 20fps sometimes. You get exactly the same issues in big battles on your 1060 and 2080. Literally you get same fps more or less and you get game drop to 20fps in same situations. If game was able to properly use new gpus that would not happen. 2080 should have no issue running this game at stable 100fps+ on any battle. Also i was talking about video memory. VRAM not your RAM lol...
@@JF-xm6tu you can't avoid Tzeentch - Architect of Fate :))) Just live the most positive way you could, so when you pass away, you can feel happy to the last moment of your life
One of the best trailers for anything I've seen in my life. The preparation for battle in clear weather as a sort of calm before the storm. The solidarity of the master and subordinate. The battle in the night storm. The subordinate in battle taking a fatal hit. The master reacting after looking up to see the subordinate ship go down. The fight back with sentinels activating. Master's death to enemy boss taking the advantage in combat. All building up to the climax. The music as the leader falls downward from the high cliff. And even hearing the music in Immortal Empires trailer when featuring her faction gave me chills.
Some info about Cathay for those who are interested: The Celestial Dragon Emperor and his wife the Moon Empress are the oldest beings in warhammer, predating everything, even the arrival of the Old Ones. Their power level is at or beyond the strength of gods. They will never be playable as a result because they are nearly omnipotent. Their children, however, are all Immortal Dragons. They are all sorcerers and can use magic and they can assume human form. (Important distinction for some, they are dragons that turn into humans, not humans that turn into dragons). The children don't get along with each other. Featured in the video is Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon, Ruler of the Northern Provinces. The other legendary lord (at launch) will be Zhao Ming, the Iron Dragon, ruler of the western provinces. In keeping with the Yin Yang theme, the storm dragon is black and the iron dragon is white. The iron dragon breathes fire. Seems like an obvious choice for future factions/legendary lords would be the leaders of the eastern and southern provinces, so you can probably look forward to them in DLC in the future. Possibly even a central provinces ruler? That is just speculation though.
They're not the oldest beings in existence. They're not even the oldest dragons, although they may be the oldest *living* dragons. They're certainly not nearly omnipotent; the gods in Warhammer Fantasy aren't either. Adding on to the rest of what you said, though, I think it's worth noting that Miao Ying's opening dialogue in this trailer _very clearly_ shows that she (and possibly her parents, by extension) blame the Old Ones for Chaos, and the current state of the world in general. That's a really interesting story beat, especially since it puts them at odds with many of the other factions in the setting.
@@Oops-All-Ghosts wait. So Cathay is more or less the isolated faction that is grumpy and hates everybody else? I can imagine that they might even despise my beloved lizardmen the most by this extension
Yes, I think it's very probable we'll see a Southern LL vs Ind (and maybe even Khuresh) factions and Eastern LL vs Nippon. On another note, I wonder who will be Zhao Ming's main contender in his campaign? Chaos too? Ogre kingdoms?
@@n3phelem549 I don't know how isolationist they are, and they definitely don't hate everyone (in the recent lore for the Warhammer tabletop RPG's 4th edition, Cathay has an envoy in the Empire who is actively trying to improve relations), but they've definitely got a perspective on the world that's different from most. And yeah, they and the Lizardmen probably aren't going to get along. Like, it's worth keeping in mind that when Miao Ling talks about moving the planet closer to its star, she isn't speaking metaphorically. When the Old Ones got here, they _changed the world's orbit_ to be more suitable for them. The dragons, and the other things who were living on this world first, were understandably not super pleased with that.
Elector Counts have all been summoned Knights of Brettonia have all gathered Dwarven forges are all lit Fay folks of Athel Loren are ready Elves of Ulthuan stand united Children of old ones stand vigilant All of Kislev stands together And finally Dragons of Cathay have awakened. The Ordertide is now complete.
There's no love for Tzeenthch. There's only laziness and trash-tier re-coloured mortal units that fills half of its roster. That's why fans seek justice for Tzeentch and demands unique assets for Warriors of Tzeentch.
I wouldnt said "love". If you take a look, all Tzeentch human warriors in the trailer are mere recolors of the WOC ones (warriors on disks arent even recolor), unlike the unique skins of the Khorne's ones.
@@ozgurbayram379 it was always going to be reskins and they are doing that they did it for khorne and what do you mean half only dame reused unit I saw was the warriors
@@misterduch7904 Haha, you fool! Considering current GW's policy, you will be lucky if they re-release their remnants of metal minis as new models for the old world. Along with some butchered fluff of course.
It's cool to see Eastern-based culture in a fantasy world. You don't see that often. Hopefully Nippon and the Kingdom of Ind will be added as future DLC.
@@unlyokosympa9445 They're not older than the old ones, they just predate the Old Ones arrival on the world before they terraformed it. They specifically said they are on par with most gods of Warhammer, not particularly stronger, in the introduction post.
They're called Magi, Magus in singular form. We had one in Warhammer Online, but that(in most ways you can understand it) was a disappointment. And it couldn't even fly, just glide around eerily without any sound. >.>
This trailer is absolutely amazing. I come back to it every now and then. There are so many tiny details and untold stories. The smith; the balloon pilot and the alchemist; the supreme matriach and her righteous anger. I have never seen the little stories and people on a battlefield better represented in a trailer. Coupled with the music and voice acting it is breathtaking.
@@jchea1764 And slightly more after Grimgor easely crushed that pathethic Kitaj and all these "mega-super-puper" chinese anime magic girls 😂 All this Katai fever is absolutely and utterly ridiculous. Just yesterday ALL what we know about Kitaj were two things: 1 - it exists. 2- it and also Japan (nippon) were trampled by Grimgor. And now so many people here suddenly going crazy in extasy about this three Kingdoms 2.0. Isn't it obvious that all this "gachi anime fantasy" with chinese in idiotic costumes running along steep walls is made solely for the sake of entering the huge Chinese market and in fact, its haste and lack of elaboration spoils and violates the logic of the Warhammer itself?
@@ПетрВрангель-т8п … 1). Bold of you to assume that Warhammer has logic. This is a world where the most objectively evil villain in the setting is magicked into heroism in the End Times. Or where obese lizards could blow up a continent by sneezing too hard. 2). Isn’t it obvious that all this grimdark medieval fantasy with Germans in idiotic constumes wading through deep forest is made solely for the sake of entering the huge European market, and in fact, its haste and lack of elaboration renders it internally inconsistent?
This is absolutely insane. This is literally the first time EVER we've seen actual Grand Cathay units and heroes. Can't wait to see them on Warhammer Fantasy: The Old Word for tabletop in a few years.
Well not the first time "seeing" them. We've seen art and individual units from the 80's. But yes, this is the first "in canon" appearance of them in their full glory. Only thing that was missing were Temple Dogs.
I'm personally excited because as someone who plays Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, it's going to be the largest and maybe only lore expansion the far east of Warhammer Fantasy will get. Lots of new material to work with.
@@caelvanir8557 I just hope that CA expands into ind or Nippon, because the thought of elephants and samurai fighting the hordes of chaos sound amazing.
What a wonderful job you did with this trailer, big props to the team. Probably your best one so far. 0:14 and 1:48 look spectacular! The musical timing at 2:15 is also unreal! You really nailed it, I'm in awe.

@@vesae2676 as opposed to generic european faction, generic norse faction, generic fantasy elves and dwarves etc?

@@vesae2676 Well at least it doesn't look like the typical Qing dynasty stereotype that everyone tends to put on representing fantasy Chinese-esque factions. I can see a lot of Ming and Tang dynasty inspirations instead.
@@Dream146 warhammer has a unique look to it. There are a few exceptions of course, but generally when you look at something you can say if it's warhammer or not. I can't say that for most of Cathay. There is very little thematic creativity in there. "Jade" anything has been a dead horse for decades. I give them the flying lanterns and the giant, so there is that, even if they look a little predictable.
It is so surreal. I cant believe this is part of the Warhammer universe and part of Total War Warhammer 3. I love it. Thanks for expanding the things that GW never did.
@@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547 Sort of. CA actually went to GW and told them they wanted Grand Cathay in the game, which got GW actually working on lore and units for it.
I'm so used to Warhammer Fantasy having such a focus on European style stuff so seeing badass Warhammer China is such a breath of fresh air. Especially since those floating mountains look sick as hell
Grand Cathay looks phenomenal. The art theme is gorgeous and i cannot wait for this game to be released! I dont care about the delay polish as much as possible fix bugs and whatnot and then release the GTA 5 of Total War games! This should be the magnum opus of the series....a game to last years (with DLC updates ofc).
@@jmitch5634 hm, isn't the most hated enemy of Tzeentch actually Nurgle? Khorne is the one who hates Slaanesh. On the other hand, Tzeentch and Slaanesh are allies, same as Khorne and Nurgle.
@@ZuyFean I mean none of them are really allied as much as they tolerate one more than others, but of the old Cathay lore it’s always been Tzeentch cults and invasions by tzeentch rather than any of the others which is why Cathay and Tzeentch makes the most sense.
@@jmitch5634 Yeah, but when it comes to god rivalries trailers of Tzeentch vs Nurgle and Slaanesh vs Khorne would make more sense than Slaanesh vs Nurgle. That being said, Slaanesh and Nurgle still don't like one another. By "allied" I meant that, at least in AoS, you can take Slaanesh daemons in Tzeentch armies and Khorne daemon in Nurgle armies and vice versa.
No se. Hay muy buenos. Este tiene un toque más cinemático que otros, a pesar de usar ingame engine. Mi favorito sigue siendo Warden&thePaunch o del Warha1. Shogun 2 esta ahi arriba tambien.
2:12 Ah, I see you've incorporated Toph Beifong into the army roster. Solid choice. For real tho, this trailer looks Amazing. Probably gonna give Cathay a go right after my first Katarin playthrough.
Was supposed to be late 2021. Maybe we will get another WH2 DLC to pass the time. Already tried every nasty trick in Skaven book. I am getting sick of them and no other race compares in regards to fun. Come to think of it... no. I don't get sick of Skaven tricks. No-no. Skave are the bestest greatest race human-thing can play for. Yes Yes!
As someone who followed Warhammer Fantasy and saw how Cathay and Ind were bare of any lore. This is a dream come true and I am excited to see how deep this game goes into Cathay's history.

And then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth. And then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the CRAP out of every single one.
What’s really cool about this is all the stars aligned, the tabletop never got to this part of the map, and with three kingdoms in development I’m sure they saw a wonderful opportunity to explore the lore and build on it.
I'm quite new to Warhammer in general and especially the fantasy universe but since Cathay already has giant magical golden mecha guan dao wielding statues that means that if Nippon joins the war against or with the Chaos Gods we will see giant mecha magical samurai.
I suspect Nippon would be a lot less flashy than Cathay, relying on more subtle support spells and assassins, with an elite core of heavy hitters, similar to Clan Eshin who, incidentally, learned their tricks from Nippon and Cathay
@@yehiahuzayyin7972 Ninjas and samurai are definitely in the cards for Nippon, but at the same time I suspect a lot of lore rewriting since much of it is just written for the laughs. I can't imagine CA putting Toyota, Nissan, Honda and every other Japanese car brand into the game with a straight face, let alone without any objections from those companies.

Some warhammer games struggle to just get in the base lore. You guys have covered so much of the lore and went even further into the fantasy lore and have the best warhammer game hands down.
I think the obvious reason is that Total War is a grand game while other Warhammer games try and self-contain themselves.

This is historic. We've had more information about Grand Cathay in this 3 minute clip than GW ever officially wrote in its entirety. Good job at making it as amazing as it deserves to be!
this is so true, I agree with everything you said. As far as this goes on, we may see newly reborn WH Fantasy Battles. I already want next trilogy of Total War, or any computer game that expands on history of this universe. This surely is going to be a masterpiece!
this Cathay is better than pretty much all the new races in AoS combined.
That's because gw is working on it alongside ca,new book for cathay

@@HeloisGevit They've been talking about it for awhile now. It's going to be set several hundred years before the End Times.

I dont know how things are in Cathay, but usually when royalty sends their children to some frontier outposts that gets attacked constantly it usually means they want you to die so you dont take the throne.
Considering said invading force is Chaos that makes this even more sus
thats 1 of 2, its either a form of banishment or proving of worth.
I mean, all we know of the Emperor if Cathay is he is immortal, and a God-King...like the Emperor of Mankind...
@@HuntersOfTheNorth1 the emperor, yes. Are their children immortal too? Immortality usually does not pass down in its full effect. Usually kids get just immortality as in you do not age
All the Dragon Emperor kids are dragons that can turn into humans. Likely he have so many of them they fill the role of governors of each province, and the strongest one gets to be the Earthly Emperor
Not always. In eastern cultures, the concept of honour and leading in combat were essential to the art of ruling.
In India for example, a more south Asian country too, the warrior caste of Kshatriyas was duty bound to participate in the battle and many Indian Kings (and queens) died on the Frontline.

I think this willk be the case in WH III if you look closely in the Battle of brass citadel units do walk more smoothely.
My hope too, after scenes in LOTR where groups like the elves do clean moves and transfers I would like to see the same in this game, even if it varies by faction.
Like early total war games where unit space changes when another unit comes through?
As a long time fan of old world Warhammer fantasy seeing it buried by games workshop to now be resurrected by Creative Assembly with more lore and world building leaves me deeply grateful. Thank you Creative Assembly! I hope GW can find more amazing partners like you guys to help further develop and bring to life there fantasy worlds.
It's a partnership but it's not really CA doing it or not alone at least. Kislev and Cathay were actually designed for the old world tabletop game that is currently being developed by GW. They mentioned that they have done concept art, designed stats and abilities for every cathay unit in tabletop and that this behind the scenes stuff was given to CA to translate in WH3.
I'm right there with you it's what got me into warhammer in the 1st place. It's the only chance I get to play my Bretonnians
@@jpem4664 Doubtful. CA is much bigger than GW design team. From what I understand, CA asks for all of GW’s old documentation for their previous work and CA moves forward from there. GW then works parallel with CA, likely using whatever CA finishes first for their own purposes.
Vampire Coast is a fine example of CA’s creative independence from GW.
Yes, CA is doing it alone because they’re bigger and better.
I do worry that they take a bit too much influence from the vampire coast, Elite halberd infantry, lots of gun units and a few giant constructs.
I am hoping as well as small airships, which remind me of gun bats, they will have some large airships.
@@Chickenhunter9 Na, CA themselves said that GW came up with the units and lore in their FAQ (which is in this video's description) :
WHOA, Y’ALL JUST CAME UP WITH THIS?
Well, not quite. Grand Cathay was first mentioned in the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battles and made sporadic background appearances throughout its history. Games Workshop have created and reimagined all of those fleeting references into a full army, and we’ve put that army along with their empire into Total War: WARHAMMER III. This includes their own characters, units, magic, history, and much more. Much like Kislev, it’s been an exciting and collaborative process with Games Workshop, and they will have several bits of news and information on their community site too.

The color of playable lords is not based on yin and yang. It is based on Four Symbols. Gurdian of north is black tortoise relating to water(which corresponds to black storm dragon of the norther province in the game). Guardian of west is white tiger that relates to metal(which corresponds to white iron dragon of the west province in the game). FYI , Guardian of south is vermillion bird that relates to fire. And Guardian of east is azure dragon relating to wood.
Thank you for the culture lesson! This is good to know because it lets us know what to expect in the future!

Thanks for the lesson it really helps me grasp the leading characters and a meaning behind the color scheme and what to expect from the story 👍
Then I guess the dragon emperor at the center would be the yellow/gold dragon of the earth following the traditional five elements?
@@ddolki1990 should be. dragon of the center is a yellow dragon with earth as its element.
It makes sense, since in Chinese symbology it represent Xuanyuan, the family name of the legendary yellow Emperor, one of the 3 Chinese mythical ancestors, and usually considered as the most important one. In the case of Cathay, this is precisely what Dragon Emepror is, the founder of Grand Cathay, the metaphorical ancestor of Cathayan human and literal ancestor of Cathyan dragon. Therefore the most important dragon and occupy the middle spot.
Everyone freaking out about Cathay but you got to admit seeing all the Tzeentch stuff and KAIROS FATEWEAVER popping off was pretty god damn dope.
Yea, love the eerie blue glow that they have and all those flashy pew pew pew everywhere. Can't wait to see the aesthetic of nurgle.

" when ur GPU can't play any game past Attila, watch trailers "
-Low spec Gamer
Dude anyone can play this if you reduce the settings. Everyone thinks a game is unplayable just 'cause they can't run on Max settings with RTX... smh
@@JackIsNotInTheBox Depends on the army. Skaven, for example, are pretty brutal even on low settings because of their intense model count and things like warp throwers spewing hard-to-LoD projectiles out all over the place.
You actually can. If you can run Attila you can run this for sure. This game uses old engine anyway. If you had RTX 2080 for example you would still get low fps in big battles as engine can hardly use 30% of it. However old graphic cards can run this no issue. You will just have to tone down detail as that eats lot of VRAM. Raw power of GPU is irrelevant engine is too old to use it. All it matters is you got enough VRAM. 2gb would be bare minimum for large unit size. 4gb plus ideal for ultra unit size.
@jethro riz You can tell me that unit size has nothing to do with VRAM? It so happens i played on same setup but different GPUS and vram makes huge difference. Unit sizes matter more than graphic settings for fps depending on your VRAM. If you ever played on multiple cards that had different amounts of VRAM you would never say something like that. Which tells me you've no idea what you're talking about. And maybe played the game only on one PC or GPU all the time. As for CPU cores who talked about that? Multithreading is another issue entirely. You will still get better results on a CPU that has higher single core power than number of cores. But that's another thing entirely. I was talking about GPU. You can easily monitor GPU usage during your playtime and you will see game barely ever uses over 30% on your 2080 while game goes to 20fps sometimes. You get exactly the same issues in big battles on your 1060 and 2080. Literally you get same fps more or less and you get game drop to 20fps in same situations. If game was able to properly use new gpus that would not happen. 2080 should have no issue running this game at stable 100fps+ on any battle. Also i was talking about video memory. VRAM not your RAM lol...

The flash backs to hu lao gate

One of the best trailers for anything I've seen in my life. The preparation for battle in clear weather as a sort of calm before the storm. The solidarity of the master and subordinate. The battle in the night storm. The subordinate in battle taking a fatal hit. The master reacting after looking up to see the subordinate ship go down. The fight back with sentinels activating. Master's death to enemy boss taking the advantage in combat. All building up to the climax. The music as the leader falls downward from the high cliff. And even hearing the music in Immortal Empires trailer when featuring her faction gave me chills.
Some info about Cathay for those who are interested:
The Celestial Dragon Emperor and his wife the Moon Empress are the oldest beings in warhammer, predating everything, even the arrival of the Old Ones. Their power level is at or beyond the strength of gods. They will never be playable as a result because they are nearly omnipotent.
Their children, however, are all Immortal Dragons. They are all sorcerers and can use magic and they can assume human form. (Important distinction for some, they are dragons that turn into humans, not humans that turn into dragons).
The children don't get along with each other.
Featured in the video is Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon, Ruler of the Northern Provinces. The other legendary lord (at launch) will be Zhao Ming, the Iron Dragon, ruler of the western provinces. In keeping with the Yin Yang theme, the storm dragon is black and the iron dragon is white. The iron dragon breathes fire.
Seems like an obvious choice for future factions/legendary lords would be the leaders of the eastern and southern provinces, so you can probably look forward to them in DLC in the future. Possibly even a central provinces ruler? That is just speculation though.
They're not the oldest beings in existence. They're not even the oldest dragons, although they may be the oldest *living* dragons. They're certainly not nearly omnipotent; the gods in Warhammer Fantasy aren't either.
Adding on to the rest of what you said, though, I think it's worth noting that Miao Ying's opening dialogue in this trailer _very clearly_ shows that she (and possibly her parents, by extension) blame the Old Ones for Chaos, and the current state of the world in general. That's a really interesting story beat, especially since it puts them at odds with many of the other factions in the setting.
@@Oops-All-Ghosts wait. So Cathay is more or less the isolated faction that is grumpy and hates everybody else? I can imagine that they might even despise my beloved lizardmen the most by this extension
Yes, I think it's very probable we'll see a Southern LL vs Ind (and maybe even Khuresh) factions and Eastern LL vs Nippon.
On another note, I wonder who will be Zhao Ming's main contender in his campaign? Chaos too? Ogre kingdoms?
Bruh I was so hyped to see the Dragon/Jade Emperor....
@@n3phelem549 I don't know how isolationist they are, and they definitely don't hate everyone (in the recent lore for the Warhammer tabletop RPG's 4th edition, Cathay has an envoy in the Empire who is actively trying to improve relations), but they've definitely got a perspective on the world that's different from most. And yeah, they and the Lizardmen probably aren't going to get along.
Like, it's worth keeping in mind that when Miao Ling talks about moving the planet closer to its star, she isn't speaking metaphorically. When the Old Ones got here, they _changed the world's orbit_ to be more suitable for them. The dragons, and the other things who were living on this world first, were understandably not super pleased with that.
Finally, what we've all been waiting for:
Cows on all four legs
Beastmen aren't gonna like that! Future Moon-Beastmen vs moon empress dlc to free all cows?

There's no love for Tzeenthch. There's only laziness and trash-tier re-coloured mortal units that fills half of its roster. That's why fans seek justice for Tzeentch and demands unique assets for Warriors of Tzeentch.
I hope they do something interesting with Slaanesh, I've always felt that the other 3 chaos gods had much stronger universal themes.
I wouldnt said "love". If you take a look, all Tzeentch human warriors in the trailer are mere recolors of the WOC ones (warriors on disks arent even recolor), unlike the unique skins of the Khorne's ones.

@@InquisitorThomas A snake faction could be so unique, as long as they distinguish it from the Lizardmen of course.
If they add Nippon, maybe they can be creative and give it a better name. Nippon is literally just the name of Japan in Japanese. Pretty weak.
Grand Cathay looks phenomenal. The art theme is gorgeous and i cannot wait for this game to be released! I dont care about the delay polish as much as possible fix bugs and whatnot and then release the GTA 5 of Total War games!
This should be the magnum opus of the series....a game to last years (with DLC updates ofc).
Never thought Discs of Tzeentch would look cool in motion, and yet here we are.
As much as I wanted to see a nurgle reveal, this is awesome
Was always gonna be tzeentch revealed with Cathay. Nurgle v slaanesh will make for an amazing trailer though
@@jmitch5634 hm, isn't the most hated enemy of Tzeentch actually Nurgle? Khorne is the one who hates Slaanesh. On the other hand, Tzeentch and Slaanesh are allies, same as Khorne and Nurgle.
@@ZuyFean I mean none of them are really allied as much as they tolerate one more than others, but of the old Cathay lore it’s always been Tzeentch cults and invasions by tzeentch rather than any of the others which is why Cathay and Tzeentch makes the most sense.
@@jmitch5634 Yeah, but when it comes to god rivalries trailers of Tzeentch vs Nurgle and Slaanesh vs Khorne would make more sense than Slaanesh vs Nurgle. That being said, Slaanesh and Nurgle still don't like one another.
By "allied" I meant that, at least in AoS, you can take Slaanesh daemons in Tzeentch armies and Khorne daemon in Nurgle armies and vice versa.

Imrik liked that.
One of the best trailers from any total war so far, really looking forward to WH3 :D
Hey man! I'm learning Spanish thanks to your channel!
Tengo ganas de verte reaccionar el trailer XD
Hola Hugo
GW Sega nad AC really wants all this money from Winnie the pooh
No se. Hay muy buenos. Este tiene un toque más cinemático que otros, a pesar de usar ingame engine. Mi favorito sigue siendo Warden&thePaunch o del Warha1. Shogun 2 esta ahi arriba tambien.
Dude... the sounds effects are so godly.. I absolutely LOVE the dragons roar
2:12 Ah, I see you've incorporated Toph Beifong into the army roster. Solid choice.
For real tho, this trailer looks Amazing. Probably gonna give Cathay a go right after my first Katarin playthrough.
You know what they say, "Chaos corruption out of sight, Chaos corruption out of mind".
So what about the other nations then?
@@akumaking1 we already have fire, air(heavens) and water(deeps)
It's not geomancy, it's like ink strokes which fits with the yin-yang magic.
The issue is that as usual its too amazing. Lots of stuff probably wont even be ingame or possible like in the trailer
What an incredible trailer!! 2022 can't come soon enough
Three Kingdoms on crack. And/or World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Was supposed to be late 2021.
Maybe we will get another WH2 DLC to pass the time. Already tried every nasty trick in Skaven book. I am getting sick of them and no other race compares in regards to fun.
Come to think of it... no. I don't get sick of Skaven tricks. No-no. Skave are the bestest greatest race human-thing can play for. Yes Yes!
@@Malisman77 you went full skaven, a man never goes full skaven.
@@Malisman77
It was obvious they wouldn't make it this year
@@Malisman77 phaps they are waiting for new gpus to become available
For a faction leader that didnt exist like 24 hours ago, im in love with my dragon warden waifu
you have waifu Legendary lord Waifu general and Waifu soldier best faction ever xD
Oh Jesus Christ it's begun. The rule 34 artists are coming out of their caves! What have you started shaxx!
2021 empowered women faction
*BONK*
@@posdaniel1501 What about elven faction?
As someone who followed Warhammer Fantasy and saw how Cathay and Ind were bare of any lore. This is a dream come true and I am excited to see how deep this game goes into Cathay's history.
Unleash the Fury of the Dragon!
Unleash the madness of Tzeentch!
they replaced the cavalry with flying discs for you my lord
Unleash the Lance of the Imrik ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's one of those skinny lame dragons though
@@Socomnick the Dragon in the trailer looked anything but lame lol!
Nice to see Shang Chi's dragon getting more work after his breakthrough role
Shang Chi dragon was female
Who?
@@lordsneek2660 The dragon in this trailer is also female.
Hey Resonant! remember the time you made fun of a Mount and blade passion project that the devs got permission from taleworlds and called it a cheap Chinese ripoff just for some views? The best part about your channel is seeing how you desperately try to stay relevant by leeching off other people’s content and works or creating over exaggerated click bait thumbnails :)

"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!" Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that nobody could best him in the ring of honour.
-Soldier TF2
And then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth. And then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the CRAP out of every single one.
@@mylesbarrett2031 Hehehehe. And from that day forward anytime a bunch of animals are together in one place its called a ZOO!
@@Slick-Salamander UNLESS ITS A FARM!
I love this community
Played this faction til the end. Its introduction to the series is probably the best surprise
Now if you add Cao Cao as a legendary lord then this game will be a 11/10.
with lu bu its going to be 12/10
They already added Lu Bu
@@capadociaash8003 Lu Bull? Moo Bu?
@@capadociaash8003 I'm glad I'm not the only one noticed Lu Bu cosplaying the giant statue warrior
@@jakenguyen4253 you mean the fate grand order?
About time! As cool as Kislev and Khorne's faction are, I'm glad we're moving to Cathay and Tzeentch.
Makes me wonder if we'll get Nurgle and Slaanesh trailers v. other factions.
@@lthanni Probably versus their other lords or the pre-order faction.
Everybody: Talking about mythical Cathay
Me: *"The bird is the word"*
Oh no
DON'T YOU KNOW,
ABOUT THE BIRD!
@@SpiceCh ABOUT THE-BIRD-BIRD-BIRD
Hey Brian! Don't you know, about the bird? Well Peter's gonna tell ya that the bird is the word!
What’s really cool about this is all the stars aligned, the tabletop never got to this part of the map, and with three kingdoms in development I’m sure they saw a wonderful opportunity to explore the lore and build on it.

5 months later, and this is my favourite WH3 faction. The sky lanterns are probably my favourite unit in the series.
I'm quite new to Warhammer in general and especially the fantasy universe but since Cathay already has giant magical golden mecha guan dao wielding statues that means that if Nippon joins the war against or with the Chaos Gods we will see giant mecha magical samurai.
Nippon give a more sengoku era vibes, I think it more like land of mystery, shadow magics, great warriors and mythical monsters
I suspect Nippon would be a lot less flashy than Cathay, relying on more subtle support spells and assassins, with an elite core of heavy hitters, similar to Clan Eshin who, incidentally, learned their tricks from Nippon and Cathay
@@yehiahuzayyin7972 Ninjas and samurai are definitely in the cards for Nippon, but at the same time I suspect a lot of lore rewriting since much of it is just written for the laughs. I can't imagine CA putting Toyota, Nissan, Honda and every other Japanese car brand into the game with a straight face, let alone without any objections from those companies.
You might be new, but you already have the best ideas...
@@SpiceCh It can be changed to something similar to Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, etc.
Imagine sacrificing hundreds of soldiers just to make a dramatic entrance
Worth it
Cathay is the most populous human kingdom...
This Is Warhammer.... Nothing strange here
