Damn it, I forgot to say this:
R2 as it stands would be perfect (battle mechanics wise) for a Warhammer game. Each unit can be customised heavily both visually and stat wise, much more so than any other TW game to date, which is so needed to be able to properly give each race their own abilities.
I don't know if anyone here played King Arthur 2? Basically it's like a less polished total war with magic and giants and things. It works okay but the main problems with it is the lack of damage type interaction, the balance, graphical glitches and also the building side of it is pretty lackluster, off point, what I was going to say is that KA2 with the polish of a TW game would be amazing. Which is at the very least what CA can do here. I'm pretty hopeful of this title, whatever and whenever it is.
