What’s the release date for Curse of the Vampire Coast and is there a pre-order incentive?
It will be released on November 8th 2018 and you can get a 10% discount if you pre-order on Steam.

Who are the four Legendary Lords?
Luthor Harkon is the first Legendary Lord to be revealed but rest assured, full maleficent detail of the remaining three Legendary Lords of the Vampire Coast will be revealed in due course.

Will the Legendary Lords fight for the Vortex?
Vampire Coast factions are playable in the Eye of the Vortex and Mortal Empires campaign, but they do not involve themselves in the race for the Great Vortex; they have their own agendas…

What about new units?
Curse of the Vampire Coast will introduce a new Army Unit roster with a number of horrific constructs rarely seen in the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. These vast undersea beasts, ghoulish revenants and piratical hordes will be revealed in full soon…

Does this mean you’re introducing naval battles?
No, we don’t currently have any plans to build a system that adds full naval battles to the game. This would be a vast undertaking and certainly beyond the scope of a DLC pack.

We do however have two new battle types which will be added to Total War: WARHAMMER II as part of the free update, which bring you an active alternative to auto-resolving naval encounters: Island battles and Black Ark battles.

When two armies meet in battle at sea, you can choose to autoresolve as usual, or fight the battle. If you choose the latter, all belligerents will disembark from their ships and fight on a nearby island. This means that your armies will be able to fight with their full land-based battle capabilities, and under your full control. To support this, we’ve created a series of island maps with their own geographical idiosyncrasies, broadening the gamut of battle types in the game and, of course, providing a platform to let armies at sea fight with all the bonuses you’ve designed into them.

The same is true of Black Arks. When attacking – or defending – a Black Ark at sea, a land battle will be fought on the vast rocky slopes and ledges of the Black Ark itself, surrounding by towering Dark Elf architecture.

These battle types may sound familiar to the modding community. Last week, we were somewhat surprised (and more than a little impressed) to see a new mod, made by Maruka and Marthenil, had been released which also adds a variant of these battle types to the game.

We got in touch with them last week to let them know that we’ve been working on a similar feature in-house for an official update. We in no way want to take anything away from all the hard work they have poured in over the past year and want to take this opportunity to give them a shout out. You can find more details of the mod here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1524091553

We will continue to work closely with modders and do our best to ensure that we avoid overlapping with them as much as we feasibly can.

Will there be any Free-LC released alongside Curse of the Vampire Coast?
Even if you don’t purchase Curse of the Vampire Coast, their pirate captains and forces will appear in game as AI controlled enemies, drastically changing the kind of opposition you will face in game and providing a fresh grand campaign challenge for you.

Additionally, we’ll also be releasing a major update to the Vampire Counts factions in Mortal Empires, empowering them with new mechanics and revised skills and abilities.

And last but not least, there will be a Free-LC release alongside, a magnificent new Legendary Lord for use in Eye of the Vortex and Mortal Empires. More news soon.
