Skaven would be unstoppable force that would not only bring end times way before the actual end times happened but also repel the actual end times just like that. Horned Rat would rise in power and probably overtake the other chaos gods.
@@trixon2118 But even united, the skaven would eventually destroy themselves it's in their nature to just burn things down. Like humans today, they'd rise so high and then die to land/food/disasters.

Plot twist: tzeentch decides to give kislev to a random orc warband and laughs as Katarin watches the some gobbos take up residence in the royal quarters of the captial city
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion Well... Grimgor really enjoyed fighting the Kislevites... until the Ice Court decided to be a bunch of kill-joys, stop sending armies and instead cast an impenetrable magic blizzard to prevent his waaagh to advance further into Kislev. Grimgor took offense to that.
I really hope this music isn't placeholder. MandeloreGaming talked about this in his TWWH2 review and I hope the more bombastic style of music for the promotional material is used for the actual game this time. Although I personally think the High Elf and Skaven music was already much better than any of the music in game 1, I feel like there is a lot of improvement to be made and it wouldn't have been so jarring had it not been for the really cool promotional music.
I think there is a very high chance the music you hear in this video is the actual Kislev battle music. I don't know if you have watched any livestreams yet from creators but so far Cathay and Khorne both have great soundtracks in campaign and in battle.
There's so many good ones in these new trailers; "Enter the world of Nurgle" and "Entier the world of Slaanesh" have amazing tracks, the new Demon Prince's trailer music is such a banger and it will be a massive shame if they're only relegated to trailer music. Not to even mention the freaking Ogre song. And yeah no one can compare to Skaven's tracks in the first two game, the tracks during and before battle are on my playlist.
Dude, I didn't even see that! So metal!! I love all the details they are putting into it. Truly a game us Warhammer fans have waited for for DECADES :D
Yeah, I reaallyy hope this is all from the game OST. This sounds sick! There was already a leap in quality between the OSTs of game 1 and 2 and this sounds like that they've upped their game AGAIN. Can't wait to play this!
Also, the demons can't die in the mortal world. It's not really that they are fleeing to save their lives, is that that is how they die in the mortal planes.
Yeah he must've been controlled by another developer. He should've just disintegrated and fought till the end if commanded by the AI. You can see he is disintegrating while running away.
I read all of them and all the end times while waiting this past year haha some other warhammer books which were my fav are Wulfrik, Skarsnik, and Headtaker.

@@darkomihajlovski3135 but it's better to charge to hold it, as the enemy will clump as opposed to shooting and letting them eventually overrun you. Helm's Deep situation basically
These settlement battles look very interesting. I just hope that someday they'll add a 3-way battle feature to this game. For example, when you attack a city that's already under siege, you join the battle and fight the defenders and the attackers at the same time.
@@kohtalainenalias Kislev is a missile-focused faction where basically every unit is a hybrid melee-ranged infantry unit, of course they can defeat Khorne.

Being able to assign public order booster character? That's pretty neat, since you can't always conquer as much as you want, and you may end up with settlements where you don't have enough population to even build an order build, nor do you wanna stomp there with your characters
I know it's subject to change, and mods, and all that, but the legendary city of Praag being a backwater village with a couple of churches is extremely disappointing.
To be fair they can't have major cities look like their book counter parts. Looked cool in older TT games but man did it drain CPU and was time consuming. In saying that, I agree tgat it should look better, especially for a Fortress with the lore it has. It's like how cities are in wow. Lorewise stormwind is enormous and houses millions, and the keep is its own castle, buy in game everything is smaller.
Yup, Erengrad looks like a provincional small town instead of the biggest and richest port town of Kislev, Praag also needs to be presented as a big city, instead - it looks like a bigger fortified village... Same thing with Altdorf in WH III - it looks like a small town compared to Middenheim or Nuln. I'm very disappointed by this. You can clearly see, that Cathay recieved the most funding and development time - which is sad, as Kislev is also among the MAIN factions in this installment (but it looks like a FLC faction at the moment).
@@Blizbor18 Lmfao, they do not look like a FLC faction. Just cause the maps have a limit on how big they can make them doesn't mean Kislev received "worse treatment". Yeah the maps could be a lil better but it's like 3 maps out of the 60+ new ones. You need to chill bruh
@@lazerrhino Cathay and Empire settlement maps dont seem to have a limit on how big the architectural density of the citiy is (except Altdorf, which does look like a small town instead the capital of the Empire for some reason...), so your argument is not valid.

Well tbh if u saw the whole map which I already did in another video it’s probably the hardest siege battle in terms of layout out of any other Kislev or map in the game so far there is not alot of ways in and the defense has a lot of high ground so
@@noahmullis5351 but the fantasy map of praag is amazing, it has a river that splits the city in half, several districts and a keep near middle, you could make a superb siege map out of that
the total war community for the past 6 years: we want better maps that make seige battles more interesting CA, finally: here's some new maps that make seige maps that make siege battles more interesting :) the total war community: >:( why don't they look exactly like the cannon maps???? I get it and it would be cool but it's seriously annoying that I know for a fact y'all would be like "the least you could do is make it 4 sided" if they were like the old siege maps but now that it is exactly what we demanded we have entirely different compaints and can't even take 5 seconds to appreciate that we got everything we've been asking for
Dear CA - when it comes to creating some RoR for Kislev, please consider a black/white-colored Winged Lancer/Gryphon Legion unit called Ravenwing which use hooked hammers. That would be cool ; )
You know, its pretty telling about how strong these human factions are, in that they can have civil wars as often as Orks fight one another, and still have a sufficient fighting force to tangle with the forces of chaos.
Kislev doesn't have civil fights as mich as the empire, it's more that they don't like each other but can put aside their differences to not meet chaos screw them over
@@LordVader1094 Yeah I know they aren't *suppose* to civil war, but still. GAH I can't wait to play this game! When the other races unlock a certain Slayer King will offer to fight alongside the warriors of Kislev....
Seeing as how the announcement trailer has Katarin recieving a message basically announcing her father's death at the hands of a rapidly approaching chaos horde, the Kislev civil war seems even stranger. Like the orthodoxy guy is just standing on the sidelines going "I WANNA BE THE TSAR" and throwing a monkey wrench into the Nation that really needs to focus on fighting chaos so that, y'know, *The Old World doesn't die!*
@@kevincass9917 yeah like how Be’lakor is playable after u beat the game with the demon prince it’s rumored that once u beat it with Kislev u will get Boris bec u saved him same with the light dragon for Cathay u go out to find her
Nobody's mentioned it yet, but the music in this game is looking great! Especially the epic music at 2:20 while Katarin takes Praag. Looking forward to stamping out the hordes of Chaos to that song.
I know it is just a game but it is hard to believe that Kislev would be wasting its resorces on a civil war while their god is captured and forces of literał hell are attacking them
Why put her on a horse when she has such great animations for being “on foot”? I would still love to have her riding a chariot-sled with snow leopards pulling it. Would be more thematic than a damn horse X)
@@thebro6204 yeah you are ofc right! but at least something different than a horse - and if artillery can be on a sled why not the LL? that it would be pulled not by bears but by those leopards is just cause bears are already quite overused in this faction and those leopards belong to the ice court as far as i know so it would be really thematic. maybe someone will a mod i hope or CA will make a DLC/FLC mount for her
Kislevs units are incredible in appearance as well as performance. god I love those ice swords that glow with a magical light, the dev team has really outdone themselves with the environments, battlefields, unit models and animations
As a newbie to the franchise i still can’t get over hearing Prag in a fantasy game when it’s a main town in real life lol. Is it at least written differently like they made Thor to Tor?
Warhammer Fantasy’s Names aren’t exactly known for their originality or cleverness: Cathy = an old outdated name for China, Nippon = Japan in Japanese, Araby = Arabia.
Many human kingdoms are based on real historical kingdoms. The empire is based on the Holy Roman Empire and therefore has many German names like Altdorf. Some names were taken 1:1 from real city names like Flensburg or Essen etc.
"Tsarina Katarin" sooooo Empress Catherine the great? Kislev is literally Russia with catherine II as leader. this is not a bad thing at all. I adore Catherine II so a faction that really really reminds me of her is definitely up my alley
Not only russia, it's a mix of different slavic nations. E.g. he winged lancers were inspired by polish winged hussars. Recommend checking them out, they look really great!
Warhammer Fantasy has never been shy about its real-world influences, especially with the human factions. Bretonnia as a medieval french nation based of Camelot legends, the Empire as the Holy Roman Empire with a lot of german naming, Kislev as you said, then the southern realms all being Renaissance themed. Hell, you could make the argument for High and Dark Elves being the British Empire and the US respectively.
I must say theres one thing I dont like in WH3. That is how trees and grass looks on the world map. Its just personal preference but this looks like cardboard cutouts to me. ( 0:37 ) I suppose its caused by the zoom level but it cant even be compared to how they look inside actual battles. I guess its for technical reasons though.
The original mechanics reveal for kislev had it listed that both Katarin and Kostaltyn get the ice court, glad to see that this implies this one is unique to her and that the lad gets his own
To be honest, I would love some type of Legendary Lord or a Legendary Hero (like goritch in T&T) for Kislev that had the ability to turn into a bear like from the old legends of berserkers
4:40 - I love how the "city" of Praag on the actuall battle map, looks nothing like the model that is placed on the campaign map, where it looks like an actuall city. On battle map it looks like a military fort with tents, not like a city meant to house human population... Damn, Kislev looks really rushed compared to Cathay, and it shows.
@@zilk3124 This should be fixed before the release, because it's too much of a f**k up to turn a blind eye for. Somehow, even the small settlement battle maps in Cathay look more like actuall cities, than what CA did to Kislevs provincial capitals... You can clearly see which of those factions recieved much more funding and development and which was rushed.

"If we have a common enemy then we are sure to unite!" The Empire. "Not in Kislev, even though we're chaos' doormat we still fight each other." Katarin
From the look of things, game 1 and early game 2 factions will seem completely lackluster compared to all these new factions and races. Will need a ton of improvements throughout the game's DLC cycle else they'll just fall behind.
That's why Mortal or immortal empires doesn't launch with the game. Gives them time to do some adjustments. Though HE, DE, and Skaven will do fine, so would Beastmen.
@@kharilonesome6903 that's why mentioned "DLC Cycle". So they have time to bring meaningful mechanic changes to all the factions for a definitive warhammer experience. One or two months just isn't enough for that
@@GrimReaper415 For the Warhammer 2 races only the Lizardmen need major mechanical changes, the other 3 just need small buffs here and there, probably won't see too.many dlc focused on them because 2 months is more than enough. The game 1 races, I can agree will some major weight applied to them, some more than others though.
@@mariusietswaard4353 True, though some of the dlc and reworks help some. Greenskins are relatively okay, and the Beastmen are fine. WE in battle are string asf, but their campaign is rough. Empire will be incompetent without a buff, and Dwarfs and VC just need some tweaks to their current systems and roster. Nor too bad overall, but individually very lacking.
Very cool vidéo, can't wait to play but as other peoples commented I will suggest to add some houses and buildings into the Kislev settlements, they look a bit empty
The game looks amazing and they did a great job with all the factions. But do the Kislevites seem a little too high fantasy for anyone else?? having glowing swords and so much ice enchantment seems a little cheesy and too powerful for me.
but... warhammer *is* high fantasy, among other things. c.a. have just upped kislev to the level of the other factions really, it's weird having one or two realistic factions when you have orcs, daemons, undead and the like
@@oneringtorulethemagicarp7199 yeah, the college of magic is based in altdorf, the empire has steam tanks, and karl franz rides a hippogriff into battle. the redesign of kislev is in line with everything else in terms of how fantastical it is, i really don't get the resentment
I loved the first game as every race was unique, you needed allies to hold the mountains as the empire. Alliances between good factions were more likely to be formed. Kislev would be a defensive faction in that regard I would be happier if they would be unable to conquer new lands but increase defensive abilities of their cities with defeating chaos forces.This would remove in 30 seconds self building towers and would add parmanent defenses. Also I would give them less economical options as they are constantly under attack and and their lands are covered by snow. I would make them more dependent on their allies like from elves and the empire. This must have been the Kislev experience we were meant to see.
Even in a fantasy world, being Slavic means your life will be harder. :D

This will be my first playthrough, and can't wait for when the winged hussars arrive lol
0:05 THE BEACONS ARE LIT KISLEV CALLS FOR AID!
and the Empire will answer
Praag, one of the largest and most heavily fortified city in Kislev and thats how you make it look, like a minor settlement made out of wood?
Well tbh if u saw the whole map which I already did in another video it’s probably the hardest siege battle in terms of layout out of any other Kislev or map in the game so far there is not alot of ways in and the defense has a lot of high ground so
@@noahmullis5351 but the fantasy map of praag is amazing, it has a river that splits the city in half, several districts and a keep near middle, you could make a superb siege map out of that
@@Th3Ub3rL33t ok, but i wish i could fight without my pc exploding
the total war community for the past 6 years: we want better maps that make seige battles more interesting
CA, finally: here's some new maps that make seige maps that make siege battles more interesting :)
the total war community: >:( why don't they look exactly like the cannon maps????
I get it and it would be cool but it's seriously annoying that I know for a fact y'all would be like "the least you could do is make it 4 sided" if they were like the old siege maps but now that it is exactly what we demanded we have entirely different compaints and can't even take 5 seconds to appreciate that we got everything we've been asking for
Dear CA - when it comes to creating some RoR for Kislev, please consider a black/white-colored Winged Lancer/Gryphon Legion unit called Ravenwing which use hooked hammers. That would be cool ; )
You know, its pretty telling about how strong these human factions are, in that they can have civil wars as often as Orks fight one another, and still have a sufficient fighting force to tangle with the forces of chaos.
In reality Kislev doesn't have civil wars lorewise. They just give every faction civil wars in this game lol
Kislev doesn't have civil fights as mich as the empire, it's more that they don't like each other but can put aside their differences to not meet chaos screw them over
@@LordVader1094 Yeah I know they aren't *suppose* to civil war, but still. GAH I can't wait to play this game! When the other races unlock a certain Slayer King will offer to fight alongside the warriors of Kislev....
5:37 I see Skarbrand has been watching Premier League in the meantime
These battle maps look AWESOME!
Seeing as how the announcement trailer has Katarin recieving a message basically announcing her father's death at the hands of a rapidly approaching chaos horde, the Kislev civil war seems even stranger. Like the orthodoxy guy is just standing on the sidelines going "I WANNA BE THE TSAR" and throwing a monkey wrench into the Nation that really needs to focus on fighting chaos so that, y'know, *The Old World doesn't die!*
There’s a leak going around that Boris is actually alive! On one game screen there’s a tip bar that talks about how Boris plays.
@@kevincass9917 yeah like how Be’lakor is playable after u beat the game with the demon prince it’s rumored that once u beat it with Kislev u will get Boris bec u saved him same with the light dragon for Cathay u go out to find her
THE BEACONS ARE LIT
Nobody's mentioned it yet, but the music in this game is looking great! Especially the epic music at 2:20 while Katarin takes Praag. Looking forward to stamping out the hordes of Chaos to that song.
I know it is just a game but it is hard to believe that Kislev would be wasting its resorces on a civil war while their god is captured and forces of literał hell are attacking them
The russians had a civil war while warring with germany, so yeah they would!
They don't know that their god has been taken and almost killed.
you underastimate peoples need to fight for anything when thing gets desprate
But we literally do that in real-life as well
I het ehat you are all talking about. But in real live there are no forces of hell at our gates xd
I really hope the music in this video make it into the game as in-game music
The weight of destroying an army in these games doesn’t mean much considering the AI replenishes it in 5 turns
If the army is destroyed then they won't replenish because it has gone.
Probably the best set of feature videos I've seen for a game. Well done guys!
Goodness, I hope CA added a Hotseat mode as well, that’s all the game is missing in terms of general features.
How do you imagine playing battles against each other?
No they didn't but they've upgraded multiplayer. Now player turn us simultanous
@@krzysztof765 The same way it worked in Medieval 2, the initiating faction is controlled by player, the faction being attacked gets an ai commander.
@@AgnonMan That’s nice and all, but I don’t really have anyone to play it with. What I want is to play AGAINST myself.
I kinda love the History Channel documentary vibe that the narrator gives off.
Why put her on a horse when she has such great animations for being “on foot”? I would still love to have her riding a chariot-sled with snow leopards pulling it. Would be more thematic than a damn horse X)
Having a caster be mobile is important
@@thebro6204 yeah you are ofc right! but at least something different than a horse - and if artillery can be on a sled why not the LL? that it would be pulled not by bears but by those leopards is just cause bears are already quite overused in this faction and those leopards belong to the ice court as far as i know so it would be really thematic. maybe someone will a mod i hope or CA will make a DLC/FLC mount for her
Kislevs units are incredible in appearance as well as performance. god I love those ice swords that glow with a magical light, the dev team has really outdone themselves with the environments, battlefields, unit models and animations
Please add stone flooring or some kind of gravel pavement
It just looks like a minor settlement or a camp if a capital city looks like that
I'm soooo hyped! Can't wait any longer... 😣
This makes me want a whole Warhammer Fantasy show! Just hope that the End Times would at least be handled better than before.
The music is just Chef's Kiss!
As a newbie to the franchise i still can’t get over hearing Prag in a fantasy game when it’s a main town in real life lol. Is it at least written differently like they made Thor to Tor?
Yes, it's Praag.
Warhammer world is based on real world
Warhammer Fantasy’s Names aren’t exactly known for their originality or cleverness: Cathy = an old outdated name for China, Nippon = Japan in Japanese, Araby = Arabia.
Many human kingdoms are based on real historical kingdoms. The empire is based on the Holy Roman Empire and therefore has many German names like Altdorf. Some names were taken 1:1 from real city names like Flensburg or Essen etc.
Irl its called Praha or Prague in english
She can surely make the Orthodoxy surrender by singing let it go let it go continously ;p
Wow Praags map looks so empty specially compared to the campaign visual, also Dmitry will be the Daemon Prince for me.
I like that rivers and bridges are more visible on the campaign map. Sometimes it was a pain trying to get around something you can barely see.
Защитим же Родину! Защитим же Кислев!
5:36 scarbrand just kicks the frontline guys lol 🤣
"Tsarina Katarin" sooooo Empress Catherine the great? Kislev is literally Russia with catherine II as leader. this is not a bad thing at all. I adore Catherine II so a faction that really really reminds me of her is definitely up my alley
Literally every human faction is X or Y historical faction, but stereotypical and fantast
i mean warhammer is a fantasy twist on real history like the empire being the Holy roman empire so on so its totally Catherine but more fantasy
Since you adore her so much, what connects the two aside from the name?
Not only russia, it's a mix of different slavic nations. E.g. he winged lancers were inspired by polish winged hussars. Recommend checking them out, they look really great!
Warhammer Fantasy has never been shy about its real-world influences, especially with the human factions. Bretonnia as a medieval french nation based of Camelot legends, the Empire as the Holy Roman Empire with a lot of german naming, Kislev as you said, then the southern realms all being Renaissance themed. Hell, you could make the argument for High and Dark Elves being the British Empire and the US respectively.
The wait is ... UNBEARABLE
I must say theres one thing I dont like in WH3. That is how trees and grass looks on the world map. Its just personal preference but this looks like cardboard cutouts to me. ( 0:37 ) I suppose its caused by the zoom level but it cant even be compared to how they look inside actual battles. I guess its for technical reasons though.
Oh I'd love to play with the Tzarina
this game is gonna be pinnacle of Total War, 100%
no.
@@teutonicorder9520 be mad cause historical titles will forever be in the shadow of Warhammer
@@leonidas231 nah, im not mad, im just amused that u guys like this childish crap. xD
@@teutonicorder9520 typical super mad historical fan, be mad your games are in the shadows
@@leonidas231 like i said im not mad, but ur response tells me ur very mad.. ( get over it )
The original mechanics reveal for kislev had it listed that both Katarin and Kostaltyn get the ice court, glad to see that this implies this one is unique to her and that the lad gets his own
To be honest, I would love some type of Legendary Lord or a Legendary Hero (like goritch in T&T) for Kislev that had the ability to turn into a bear like from the old legends of berserkers
Dlc lol
Sounds like Chaos to me
Lol in the warhammer universes chaos are magic uncontroll
Such folly, the empire endures no matter what happens in the north.
4:40 - I love how the "city" of Praag on the actuall battle map, looks nothing like the model that is placed on the campaign map, where it looks like an actuall city. On battle map it looks like a military fort with tents, not like a city meant to house human population... Damn, Kislev looks really rushed compared to Cathay, and it shows.
Do you think they'll consider making Praag look like a city sometime after release?
@@zilk3124 This should be fixed before the release, because it's too much of a f**k up to turn a blind eye for. Somehow, even the small settlement battle maps in Cathay look more like actuall cities, than what CA did to Kislevs provincial capitals... You can clearly see which of those factions recieved much more funding and development and which was rushed.
00:05 The beacons are lit!!!!
Плюсик, кто ждет перевод от Веруса
Интересно, почему ты тут. Для тебя же тотал Ваха говно, из за того, что не историчка
@@marionetka297 ты меня перепутал с Котом. Я фанат вахи, но разве фанаты должны хавать любую халтуру со стороны разрабов? Или нам нельзя высказаться про проблемы игры?)
"If we have a common enemy then we are sure to unite!" The Empire.
"Not in Kislev, even though we're chaos' doormat we still fight each other." Katarin
From the look of things, game 1 and early game 2 factions will seem completely lackluster compared to all these new factions and races. Will need a ton of improvements throughout the game's DLC cycle else they'll just fall behind.
That's why Mortal or immortal empires doesn't launch with the game. Gives them time to do some adjustments. Though HE, DE, and Skaven will do fine, so would Beastmen.
@@kharilonesome6903 that's why mentioned "DLC Cycle". So they have time to bring meaningful mechanic changes to all the factions for a definitive warhammer experience. One or two months just isn't enough for that
@@GrimReaper415 For the Warhammer 2 races only the Lizardmen need major mechanical changes, the other 3 just need small buffs here and there, probably won't see too.many dlc focused on them because 2 months is more than enough. The game 1 races, I can agree will some major weight applied to them, some more than others though.
Nothing new, WH1 races were wildly inferior to the WH2 races, most still are
@@mariusietswaard4353 True, though some of the dlc and reworks help some. Greenskins are relatively okay, and the Beastmen are fine. WE in battle are string asf, but their campaign is rough. Empire will be incompetent without a buff, and Dwarfs and VC just need some tweaks to their current systems and roster. Nor too bad overall, but individually very lacking.
Very cool vidéo, can't wait to play but as other peoples commented I will suggest to add some houses and buildings into the Kislev settlements, they look a bit empty
They have no houses but dozens of churches...
Why would you want to stop Nurgle? I don't understand, he just wants to spread "happiness"
Well, you know, these Kislevites, they don't like happiness.
Skarbrand hate this game slightly less - he also hate the fact that he had unknowingly runaway was turn into a Bloodletter as further punishment
The game looks amazing and they did a great job with all the factions. But do the Kislevites seem a little too high fantasy for anyone else?? having glowing swords and so much ice enchantment seems a little cheesy and too powerful for me.
I agree, they should have leaned more heavily to the historical source material.
but... warhammer *is* high fantasy, among other things. c.a. have just upped kislev to the level of the other factions really, it's weird having one or two realistic factions when you have orcs, daemons, undead and the like
the empire has all sorts of glowing swords and enchantments too though and are still grittier than most races
@@oneringtorulethemagicarp7199 yeah, the college of magic is based in altdorf, the empire has steam tanks, and karl franz rides a hippogriff into battle. the redesign of kislev is in line with everything else in terms of how fantastical it is, i really don't get the resentment
I loved the first game as every race was unique, you needed allies to hold the mountains as the empire. Alliances between good factions were more likely to be formed. Kislev would be a defensive faction in that regard I would be happier if they would be unable to conquer new lands but increase defensive abilities of their cities with defeating chaos forces.This would remove in 30 seconds self building towers and would add parmanent defenses. Also I would give them less economical options as they are constantly under attack and and their lands are covered by snow. I would make them more dependent on their allies like from elves and the empire. This must have been the Kislev experience we were meant to see.
