Waging WAR: On the distant horizon
It's that time again! Yes, Greg's imagination has escaped its tiny 3x3 cell and is off spreading ruination and ruffling feathers across the countryside, armed with absurd notions and a not-so-surprising lack of reason and logic. This week's Waging WAR attempts to follow along in its wake as we take another look at the potential future of Warhammer Online: The Age of Reckoning. WAR released with an impressive lineup of playable armies and careers, setting the stage for the Age of Reckoning with a 3v3, two-sided RvR layout. In the summer following the official release of WAR, we got our first free content expansion featuring the Tomb Kings in the Land of the Dead. Just recently, we finally, at long last, got our Skaven wishes granted. In the spirit of the holiday season coming up, I've decided to look ahead at what may come in the future as we approach new horizons in WAR. Even if we discount Brettonia as another flavor of civilized human (akin in many ways to the Empire), the Daemons of Chaos as being already represented in some form or another as a part of Tzeentch's Warhost, and the Ogre Kingdoms (and other assorted Dogs of War) as being more-or-less an NPC army, we're still left with some excellent offerings from Warhammer lore as far as where WAR can go in the foreseeable future. Follow along after the break as I take another look at what's left on the table to play with for future packs and expansions for WAR.
Warhammer Online's cut content will return for free
Just in case you needed some reassurance, Mark Jacobs has flat out told 1up.com that Warhammer Online's cut content -- when added back -- would be a free content update. So toss any worries of an expansion featuring previously discussed content out the window, it's not happening. Now we can all go back to wearing our tinfoil hats and guessing (re: arguing) over which races are going to be added to the game in its first expansion. While we're sure Skaven are going to be a popular pick for many (some of us have a strange evil beast fixation) there is a certain draw to the wet, nasty and all-around cool Vampire Counts. At least that's the opinion of this particular blogger, who just wants to march about the countryside as a Blood Knight slaughtering Bretonnians gleefully.
