+milkandcookiesTW HI I just paste and copied something I sent to Arch. So we know the Skaven are not in the first game but surely you would need the first game to play the Skaven properly? Yes I know they are and have been in other area's but skaveblight is in the Old World! CA did state that future parts will be stand alone, would that that mean Skaven cannot interact with the Old World, Would love an opinion from Arch on that!

+Davina Q Well if Skaven literally aren't in the first game, then they will probably only be able to interact with a small part of the Old World, with Skavenblight/Tilea/Estalia being the Northwest corner of the 2nd map. I'm going to assume there will be some overlap between expansions in regards to the maps. If you dont own the first game but own the 2nd, you will not be able to interact with most of the Old World obviously. But I dont think it will be super common for someone to own one but not the other if they want the full Warhammer experience. As I say in the video, I find it likely that Skaven WILL be in the first game at some point, as their capital city is on the map for the first game

The Skaven represent all the negative personality traits of humans. Their selfishness and greed is one of the most interesting things I find about them. They mirror the humans in a way that shows us these Negative emotions at their purest. I think you have tied them down pretty well here. For them to get the Skaven right, they need to address the tiers of the Skaven in a much more dramatic way. Instead of trying to create a middle ground for the Skaven, where they have alternatives to more expenisve units, they should stick to having a very low tier (slave rats and clan rats) and a very high tier (Rat Ogres, Rat-ling guns, Storm Vermin). This will force players to have a small force of elite units that do the damage, and the rest filled in by the fodder.

+milkandcookiesTW Yes, it would be a very realistic trait to give them. I think the main way to look at them is as a target unit and not a meatshield. Peasants in M2tw were more for meatshields. But you could put a spear militia in sciltron and it would hold almost to the last man.

The biggest revolution the Skaven had was when a Skavenslave named Skabbicus inspired his fellows to rise against thier cruel overlords in search of a better life. Skabbicus turned the Slaves into such a powerful force that not even the Stormvermin elite could break them...that is until the Council Of Thirteen issued a pardon for all Slaves who stood down and pointed out thier leader. According to Skaven History (if its to be believed at all) over 1000 Skavenslaves pointed out Skabbicus and watched as thier former commander was torn down and eaten. Pretty much immedietly afterwards any thoughts of a pardon were forgotten and the remaining slaves were devoured for thier treachery. Production dropped for months in Skavenblight (Skaven Capital) but everyone ate well for that period of time lol

That sounds like it would be a fairly interesting Skaven faction you could play as. If Skaven culture is very deviant to begin with, such a thing would not be too far fetched. Since many Skaven are collectivist in nature, it would definitely give them a less despotic alternative to leadership, assuming the communism they adopt is of the libertarian socialist type (anarcho communism) rather than the authoritarian socialist type (soviet communism). Not to say they would be completely good if they adopt anarcho-communism since they would view everyone else as a potential threat that could destroy their way of life, so to remedy that they would be on a mission to spread the communist revolution across the globe, by brutal methods of course.

My idea for Ork morale was simply to give them poor base morale but give every squad the "Mob rule" a 40m plus to leadership that stacks based on unit size, say +1 per 10 Ork models. So 5 full strength units of 100 give each other +50 morale but 5 30% units only get +15. Same thing could be applied to Skaven since Orks are already made.

Very late to the party, but something that occurred to me about Queek: he's the leader of the third faction fighting over Karak Eight Peaks, so they could make him a separate faction and reused the mechanics regarding controlling Eight Peaks from The King and the Warlord for him. Even if they don't, I really want to see him as the second legendary lord (as you say, Thanquol is almost certain as the first) as he's one of my favourite Skaven characters.

really wished that they would encurage lore wise army builds. would love that so much, since its such an annoying thing to have to optimize with very unfriendly lore army builds. for your vid, that was awesome :D so happy i fell over these vids, they are awesome please do some more of this type of stuff.

+Unemployed Autist I'm super pumped. One of the only things that can ruin the hype for me at this point is if Legendary Lords arent in multiplayer. If I dont get to use Kholek or Karl Franz in multiplayer matches I'm gona be really mad >:(

I really enjoyed it thanks

I was thinking of what would make a cool thanquol and here is what I came up with: Powerful caster. (duh) Reduced campaign map fog of war in regards to territory owned by humans. I'm not sure how easy this would be to implement, but it would be cute flavor wise because thanquol is quite educated about humans. For example he is literate in whatever language the Empire uses. Boneripper- A mount that is capable of dying in battle with thanquol on it without thanquol dying as well. This would be pretty sweet, since Boneripper dying is kind of a running gag in the books. Boneripper will be more powerful than a typical rat ogre mount, and may have a projectile ability (such as a tear shaped fire attack ability). If boneripper dies, he remains dead until thanquol's army replenishes. Diplomatic penalty with Clan Skrye because Thanquol and Ikit Claw dislike each other. There is a problem with thanquol being a legendary lord in the Eye of the Vortex Campaign. "The Grey Seerer" clan (Clan Scruten I assume) sends armies to stop you so they don't get sacrificed to the Horned Rat. Thanquol is a grey seerer, and if he is affiliated with a 'clan', I assume it'd be Clan Scruten. So the cut scenes and stuff might need to be tweaked.

I still think one of the most amusing lore is the rivalry duels between Druchii assassins & clan Eshin

Adoring this a fair bit, though, is there a chance for a Lizardman lore/army/tactics video~?

Thanks! I have not, I've been focusing mostly on factions that havent made it into the Total War Warhammer trilogy yet. So far I've done Skaven, Wood Elves, Lizardmen, Tomb Kings, and Dark Elves. High Elves and Daemons of Chaos are likely next on the agenda in terms of the Lore/Army/Tactics series, but itll probably be a bit before either goes up

Arguably the Vermintide was the 'best' of all the Endtime scenarios, something that was forever hinted at that finally got to pass in all it's apocalyptic glory, and the source of arguably one of the best survival style games of 2016.

Yeah, was totally thinking the same thing. Thanquol for the enemy of the Empire and Queek Headtaker for enemy of the dwarfs!

this has always been, quality and quantity, my favorite of your videos. That aside i think for me ideally, for a lore and gameplay perspective many of the elite melee troops should have slaves attached. like a squad of storm skaven should be 30 or 40, mixed in with a unit of 120 slave rats. that way they are a part of the gameplay in all aspects. Got the idea from how in the battle for middle earth you could combine units for unique bonuses.

Cool to see how much you got right, sort of right and outright wrong so long after this videos release!

in empire total war if you leave pheasants pissed of but not to scared they strike, (down tools) , then riot then revolt. With Shaven you could have the same mechanics as the riots if your doing well (some dead a building damaged) then a note from a underling saying someone tried to rebel it's cool we killed them all a buildings damaged. Then a more standard one what would lead to rebellion if your not handling moral.

I really want to see Morskittar as LL, but Thanquol and Queek are realy good choices too. And I'm in the same dilemma, decide between High Elves and Skavens. And by the way great video.

Skaven pride!!! My favorite faction! I love the video!

I think the Skaaven should be established like the empire with each clan getting dominion over small tracks of land with the option of conquest or integration.

When i first heard that total war was doing warhammer for its next game i was sceptical that creative assembly made the wrong move but now i know this is possibly the best move for total war.

Owen Billington I would say it was a good move for warhammer also. 40k isn't doing good, people don't like aos very much from what I understand. Maybe old world rejuvenation is the way war hammer could make a return. I know I'd have to buy a few army's to have some fun with on the weekends if they did something like that.

To be honest, I thought Skaven were rats mutated by warpstone. As far as I remembered, their technology (and even aspects of their society) works around warpstone. But then again it was years since I brushed up on my Warhammer lore.

Probably will need a massive morale buff when there is another unit behind them, (Just thinking of how to apply the mass based morale, code wise. And I assume going with a similar base that flanks secured but looking at the back of the troops would be the best approach). That should do the trick for the morale is on the numbers mentality. The thing I want to see for their campaign. Is to lose the need to capture towns, and instead have the ability to recruit globally, at local region cost. As long as the region has a low enough public order.

Great! Will you do similar videos for Tilea (the Dogs of War) and the Chaos Dwarfs?

It would be nice if empire building was extremely difficult due to Skaven poor civil obedience but the campaign had goals. Other than 'own a bunch of territories'. A great campaign would be trying to fill all twelve seats at the council of thirteen with generals from your own faction by leveling them up in battles.

I like your ideas on the Skaven, there is some insightful stuff here for CA on making the Skaven, though you might be a tad optimistic about CA making too many changes to make the Skaven unique. Though they are an extremely unique faction, CA isn't exactly known for differentiating their factions' playstyles too much.

+Reece Nichols We shall see how CA handles them. I'm cautiously optimistic :P

I take your point about there being weirder and more horrific creatures being common knowledge to the Empire citizenry. The point with the existence of the Skaven being suppressed is that the authorities don't want people to know and panic that their is already an enemy living under their feet and amongst them that could burst forth at any moment. I know cultists also share that aspect but the paranoia they evoke generally tends to be limited to the times of chaos incursions, where as the skaven menace is ever present.

Currently working on another of these right now, should be up in the next couple of days

Definitely agree with the legendary lord choices. Other skaven just aren't as well featured imo. Queek in particular is my personal choice, he could have a banner like Grimgor to turn a unit of stormvermin into his red guard as well as having the various skull trophies as his quest battles.

My top 2 factions are Skaven being number 1, and chaos dwarves being number 2. Hopefully theres a freeLC for moussillon so we got a bretonnian factions with vampiric and undead tendencies. I already got a mod for that and an undead faction with mutant versions of bretonnian troops is awesome. Plus i added a mod that adds a nice chunk of Tomb Kings troops to undead factions.

I was thinking that the Skaven would use the Horde mechanic. So, they don't actually capture cities. Just because each faction in Total War: Warhammer can only capture one other faction's settlements and I feel like it would be strange for a group like the Skaven to be able to only capture, say, Human Empire settlements. Considering their end goal of total domination or whatever.

So they will be able to occupy underground settlements

He made an interesting discusion i think about unit restrictions in multiplayer for lore friendly armies like that you need 1 lord, 10 core units for skaven that would be like clanrats or slaves etc and then allowed like 2-3 special and 1 rare like the codexes. Do you think this system would be implemented to stop the best elite units being spammed? such as urban cohort spams in rome 1 or even rome 2 with glataian sword spams.

What about "Giant Rats" ? they are utterly common as well(if not, even more than clan rats), they were fast in the table top game(kinda skaven's calvary, but not as fast as wolfs or horses).. They could be a great feature and a cheaper unit to hammer and anvil next to the Rat ogres? :) Thinking about your point by elite units could have their own free slave unit could be combined somehow with smaller rat swarms? in the tabletop they are used only as meat shield as well, but for cinematics it would look great with the man-sized rats followed by the smaller "normal" sized rats..

My understanding is slave rats are THE go to tarpit for Skaven and do it better than the other meatshield units. I do agree though, seeing a combined force of giant rats and rat swarm would be pretty cool. Thanks :)

Man sized rats?! You are crazy! Come on lizardmen, we are leaving! (hops on his dinosaur)

There used to be a game called Mark of Chaos. Skaven came allong in that one aswell. Warpfire flamethrowers, screaming bell, warplock jazzails. Amazing. There the gutter runners could tunnel their way in to ambush and the assasin could actually stealth. Verry usefull. There were also pack masters. If they died the ogre rats and giant rats would go berserk. Pretty neat mechanic. It's an old game. But there is allot you can learn from it. It also had multiplayer and in it a mode to purchase from recourses. Skaven were hella annoying!The hero's were also varried in the skaven. Grey sears, assasins, warlords and warplock engineers. No plague priests unfortunetly or big lore names in the game. Only thing related to clan pestillence were those flail units. ((Shame on me to forget the name.)) Also you could duell enemy hero's and there was an upgrade path to be specialised in it. Good for the assasin to sneak up on theirs.

So wait, the vermin lords could possibly be placed into the game or are they a part of age of sigmar? I wasn't sure if aos and the end times are the same thing and I know CA said they won't be doing any age of sigmar stuff

End Times are a part of Warhammer fantasy battle, so could end up being a part of the Total War Warhammer trilogy. Which means Verminlords could make it in as well. AoS is a separate license but has a lot of overlap with WHFB in terms of units. We wont be seeing anything specific to Age of Sigmar in a very long time, if ever, in this trilogy

milkandcookiesTW thats awesome thanks! hopefully verminlords will make it in.

why do the skaven remind me of the Uruk-hai from the Lord of The Rings series? Constant greed for destruction, Betrayal of their own kind to take each others place in hierarchy, A extremely powerful ethereal creature commanding them (almost), yeah I'm pretty sure I making a point, anyone else agree?

+Steven Davis There are some parallels to be made I guess. Obviously lots of Warhammer fantasy is based off Tolkien's works. I just dont think the races as a whole are super similar honestly. I dont think betrayal really defines Uruk-Hai although I'm sure there are some examples. And they certainly arent cowardly. And they're 6 foot tall slabs of muscle and bone and armor, while most Skaven weigh like 70 pounds sopping wet. I can see some more parallels between Stormvermin and Uruk-Hai though, thats not a bad comparison.

Queek is actually too good in the table top too. He's my top killer haha

If you read the end times books all of the elfs coming together make sense. Everything else you say I agree skaven are great.

+Coldrage20 T How does it make sense though? The Dark Elves raped, and pillaged, and tortured, and murdered on a genocidal scale for THOUSANDS of years. For literal millenia. They can try to explain it any way they want in the books, but I just find it unbelievably unlikely those 2 societies could ever even remotely coexist given their history. There is a bigger divide between a High Elf and Dark Elf than your average American citizen and an ISIS terrorist lol

They don't like each other and the high elf King corrupts those around him what happens is it's an Alliance of convenience At the start but then with the curse of khans effecting the highborn they start becomeing like the dark elfs enjoying the torture and pain Of others. The makicath shows up starts going to war with them most of the really fucked up dark elfs on his side leave him to join terion. The not super fucked up high elfs see makicath became the true Phoenix king And go o fuck that and keep fighting with Teryan. It isn't until Teryan try's to kill the everqueem that the high elfs decide that mouth cast is simply the lesser of the two evils even then they still constantly plot to kill mala Kath interiors brother is the one who keeps happening to rain mala Kathy in from killing off everyone. It makes sense because they don't love him harmony it's just the most to survive. That's enough to get rid of a lot of bad blood.

Never been a massive fan of Skaven probably because they scare me too much :) I'm sure they will be added to Total War Warhammer

I think that skavens should have 10 extra army slots only for skaven slaves just to hammer the whole tide of rats harder (only slaves though 10 extra strong units would be too OP)

What game is that? I would love to try it out! I mean the one where the skaven are seen.

Its a mod for Medieval 2 called Call of Warhammer - Beginning of the End Times

Problem with the "strength in numbers" and "lead from the back" is that, combined they are OP when it comes to morale. Something to exploit in multiplayer and the ai can heavily exploit this.

I'd be fine with AI exploiting if it meant they were actually challenging and scary to fight against. You're right, it probably wont work exactly like this in Total War Warhammer for a variety of reasons, one of those being balance. We'll see how CA handles Skaven when they release
