I'm having the game freeze whenever i start a campaign with a faction leader that starts in a battle. Just drops back to the steam screen. If I pick a campaign with the faction leader that gives me the "warning, this leader doesn't get a starting battle" message, it's fine. I have no problem loading quick battles so I don't think there is an issue there...any thoughts?

I googled the hell out of it but seems unique

The quest scenario where the Empire has to hold off swarms of Norse raiders is one of the best times I've had in one of these TW games.

An open plain, simplified formations, flank and rear attacks, and all of the silliness of Warhammer with none of the regret caused by buying last month's figures rather than those appearing on this month's cover of "White Dwarf".

So is this "Chaos invasion" this game's version of the Realm Divide? Is there a mod to turn it off?

Not sure if I have seen a turn off option...but did see this mod where it appears you can at least delay it.

Thinking on it, I bet there is a movie that plays before the battle. No movie for the guys who don't go into battle. So my bet is that I'm unable to start/play the movie. So really, I need a way to turn the movies off.
I looked for an option but found none

When you start a campaign, there is a checkbox on the portrait of your leader, when you select them at the top....it turns off the tutorial things and may also turn off some of what your seeing...might be worth a shot...but of course, you wouldn't be able to play in tutorial mode.

Swatter I own a WH vampire omnibus...ironically titles The Vampire Wars. It is a bit older but there are still copies available at Amazon in softcover.

Still did not purchase :)

Thanks, I picked it up!

^Sure. I am going to play the Vampire Counts first (when I finally cave) and will be reading the Vampire Omnibus first. There's of course other stuff out there but it can be a chore to pour through everything if you are not that familiar with WH, like me.

Also, resist the urge to get almost anything from the Black Library, it's typically very overpriced and everything there can be found for less money.

Forgot that I do get the movie cut sequence but then when I exit out Nicos to load the campaign is when it gets stuck . But, I disabled the tutorial and it worked!

Better decide to cave before Tuesday morning; the last chance for getting the Chaos DLC free.

Judging by how well received TWW has been, I doubt it will be on sale for awhile.

My Greenskins campaign has been a brutal back & forth.

I'm winning the big battles, but the war has been extremely slow progress compared to other TWs. Despite being allied to a couple other Greenskin clans, everyone else inevitably DOWs me and will send an army to take a settlement on a regular basis.

Fortunately my two armies have been raiding & attacking enough to get a regular WAAAGH going, so I'm not wholly defensive.
