We started small so we can concentrate, and as you saw the amount of detail and work we’ve gone into with each of these races basically means, with these four, we can give them that depth, that kind of attention, but then as we continue we’ll expand out and get larger. And we’re also going to be releasing DLCs and free DLCs to come along with it. The idea is that they’re all standalone, but you can kind of bring them all together, so if you own all three it’ll be increasing the size of the world, the races you get, and things like that. This is the start of a trilogy for us, so this is the first game and there’s going to be two more expansions. Mann: So the four races that we have available in the tentpole release are going to be the Vampire Counts, the Dwarves, the Greenskins, and the Empire. PCG: What are the factions that are going to be in the game?
As you said, an eight legged spider, that’s not something we’ve ever done before.
We’ve really been trying to bring that to life in the game and literally the amount of animations that’s required, the amount of new animation skeletons-the skeletal rigs for the different creatures-all new in ways that we’ve never done before. You look at the models and all things are different shapes and sizes and styles. The Warhammer world embraces the differences between all the units. Even though different factions would be quite unique themselves, you’ve still got a lot of commonality between them for the unit types that you would see in battle. Mann: It’s huge! I mean, seriously, you look at previous Total War titles and it’s very much man versus man. PCG: It seemed like there's a pretty big variety of units. Mann: No, they’re really, really tempermental to mo-cap. I loved all the animation that he mentioned had to all be hand-done, because you can’t mo-cap a giant spider and stuff like that. PCG: I just want to see the gladiators just chopping dudes’ heads off. Mann: I think you just got it straight away and went, ‘Yeaaaaah!’ Mann: Actually, it was a pack that you would download, so you get the blood and gore DLC packs like in Rome 2 and Shogun 2.
