To all the warcraft fans... you do realise that the original Chaos corrupts and "that's pretty much how each chaos champion is born" predates WC3 by almost an entire era? (ok exaggeration but still... warcraft 3 was the new kid on the block by a mile). Blizzard, for anybody that was born then, is pretty famous for plagiarism in regards to the entire industry both lore and game-play wise. What made them insanely successful was 1- marketing and 2-they centralized all the good ideas from others in one game. But when it comes down to originality... well they never had any to start with. So saying that this story is a copy/paste is so priceless, on so many levels, that it kind of explains what's wrong with the world nowadays. Keep being uninformed and not digging. You're doing great.

Ursin: *growling with murderes intent* Vulkan and the Salamanders: *Jamaican accent* “I would like to pet this creature.”

It's a pretty simple and fairly predictable story, but executed extremely well. I especially like some of the subtle touches, like how Yuri's "barks" (the voicelines when you click on him) _very_ gradually shift as you progress. They don't get swapped out all at once at specific thresholds, but rather new ones are slowly added as he becomes more corrupted, and old ones are removed. Or how the loading screen texts are excerpts from Kurnz' diary, showing how Yuri is following in his footsteps not only literally, but also figuratively in his fall to Chaos, it's just really great stuff all around. Also, it goes without saying, but the VA for Yuri is absolutely INCREDIBLE.

My criticism is that there should have been more story events involving Kislev when playing as Daniel the Demon.

Its a good story, sad to see him torture kislev when his ambitions were to save his people.

Das Spiel ist der Hammer und ist bestes Spiel auf der Welt

the best surprise attack in History

how do you participate?

Really good event

Barlin " Nicht schlecht, wird besser von runde zu runde" Dude " Ja in den nächsten zwei runden brauchts auch nicht mehr besser zu werden" Hahahahaha was da los xD

This would be so cool to see this style of campaign again for like a dlc down the line. Immersive as hell with a good story to ease people into the idea of what chaos really is.

So kislev is just normal russia

"My son. The day you were born, the very forests of Kislev whispered the name, Yuri..."

Be'lakor is probably the most interesting Daemon Prince.

Who would win Diablo vs Skarbrand?

He should regain his wings at least, this campaing is terrible waste of ressources, why....

Even damn Star Wars had this shit with Anakin "You was supposed to fight the evil! Not join them!"

So many games, so many stories, so many books and movies, the hero that becomes the evil believing that he is doing it for the good

No way ppl complain about stealing, men, cmon, this shit is cliche asf: "The hero knew that he is right, nobody believed him, everyone were turning their back on him, so he, with his trusted companions went on the adventure to save everyone. Little did he know that he will be the one to bring the World into chaos and shatter every wall into bricks, cities into ruins, grasslands into wastelands while guided by a tricky and smart dark Gods"

GW is so lazy, even the cinematics are slideshows

I'm sad this story ends up on a cliffhanger where you don't even know if Skarbrand gained Khorne's forgiveness or not. There is already no much of a scenario in this campaign, why not be a bit more decisive about the endings. Also, this was one of the stories which were really important for their protagonist, it ought to have ended up with something more conclusive.

the ending of the skarbrand story should of been a 1 on 1 fight against balakor that would be off insanely badass.

Check 6:15 haha the mountain in the right side, its the matterhorn, i know cause im from switzerland xD Be‘lakor yodeling sounds*

I'm uncertain if Yuri Barkov is really chaos undivided, for he first encountered Tzeentch corruption before Khorne's. Never Slaanesh's or Nurgle's. Yuri was mostly trying to find knowledge in tomes and runes, even reading the journal of a traitorous heretic to search for Ursun, with having faith, and the hope that he can find Ursun. Until he became corrupted and started to desire power. Whilist he was decieved by Be'lakor, like many victims were deceived by the Great Deceiver. That sounds a lot like Tzeentch to me.

BIG E was a troll here

Marc says ok ....

I wish there was an ending where Be'Lakor succeeded in ascending.

If only the gameplay was as good as the story

Aformagon?

Ya know what would be really cool? A new look for the lower daemons in Be’lakor’s army which a forge of souls look, with pipes and steel twisting into their bodies, just for a bit of verity in his army than just a standard undivided army

And even if he freed Ursan would have just gotten captured again, too weak

Where have I seen an old man, crows and demons before?

Belakor = Putin

Believe not what the gods would have you do. You are mightier than they.

need more content

No wholesome moment with red tzar...shame

I think if Kairos wins he should get full sight of the campaign map

No one saved the bear? Where is PETA?

I think Yuri might be based on Yuri Dolgorukiy, a Grand Prince of Kiev who ruled the Kyivan Rus’ in September 1149 - April 1151, and again in March 1155 - May 1157.

Damn what a very stupid lore

"...the loan witness...". Gotta love CA's QA, LOL.

So Ursun just lives somewhere in the wild where you can walk up to him and have a chat?

The voice acting and art work in all these cutscenes is absolutely tremendous.

inpaindaily

"I would gladly bear any curse to save my homeland."

The fact that they abandoned most in-game cutscenes disappoint me. Would've love to see them in the newer games.

Is the old man tzeentch?

Plagiarism. Arthas story.

I wouldn't mind more narrative game modes in total war sure keep the standard conquest mode but give us the ability to relive famous historical stories and perhaps some divergent history so players have some choice.
