Indeed sir, you get the featured/main game instantly and once the next bundle airs, you get the rest of the games in the bundle. After that, there is no purchasing the bundle anymore. There's a timer on it you can see. Your only hope is to get trades or buy it elsewhere.

If you ask me, $12 for this game alone is enough motivation to buy the bundle, everything else is just a great bonus/surprise in a month's time.

Wish more replies were like yours. xD

Sadly, strategy is an underappreciated realm of gaming though.

I'd recommend you heavily mod Rome II, then it becomes a gem. It's a definite improvement in terms of mechanics over Rome II. However, all strategy games will logically have a moment that provokes you or becomes tedious. It's definitely worth a try at the very least.

I'm too lazy to type a new reply so here's a copypasta:

" Though from what you have posted since I have not played it I can gather this games has strayed far from its past games?"

Well depending on the TW game, then yes? The last TW game that had things set up the way I loved was Medieval, with roving diplomats, merchants, agents, etc as well as being able to run each settlement independently. Combat was the standard "hammer and anvil" tactics of cavalry+infantry with ranged support.
Stuff began to change in Empire and Napoleon when they got rid of some of the smaller complexities and focused much more on the War aspect of Total War.

Warhammer's best aspect is the vast difference in tactics per army. A lot of the factions in other TW games played exactly the same, you just had different colors and maybe someone was better at archery and someone else was better at the charge.

PS-The lore is integral to the game, imho. It might be advised to visit these sites:

I think it's very different from the other TW games. The addition of flying units, monster units and magic/runes mechanics are a nice change in the TW series.

From the videos I watched, it's basically Rome2/Attila with cool Warhammer units.
The only addition I can think of are generals as 'hero' units that can take on half an army, or cast spells.

I believe you would need to receive an email with the offer though.

It shouldn't affect multiplayer too bad. Sometimes some units are a bit OP, but CA is still constantly balancing things (patches are usually released once every month, sometimes with a smaller patch in between to quickly fix some important stuff), so it shouldn't remain that way. I'm not a multiplayer player myself though, so I might be wrong.

Well, I doubt they would give you the $5 offer every or every second month. But no idea tbh.

yes

lol no. That's exactly what previous Monthly did. 'Huh XCOM2 is expensive, the rest would be trash!'.

Then Humble shattered it :)

There is a ton of shovelware priced at $20USD only to be discounted 90% every sale. There are also some VERY good $20 games without many significant discounts. MSRP isn't that important tbh.

I think it is ROW but cannot confirm it, sorry. I traded my key to someone in Europe and he traded me DLC for the game that was marked ROW.

Purchased it in Russia, created a gift link, saw no usual "Steam might prevent the key from being redeemed" message.
I'm guessing it's region free.

And Humble gave me XCOM 2 (wishlisted game) for my birthday February. xD

I'm not interested in this game either, but it was a no brainer to get this bundle, as I already got the full value of the bundle ($12) just for trading this one game away (for 14 sacks of gems). All the other games are now just going to be a free bonus.

Yes. HB releases a bundle every Tuesday (unless they randomly skip it). The Humble Monthly is however just once a month. The first Friday of every month!

Happy cakeday!

Happy cakeday!

Adds weight and impact back to the battles, adds magic to battles, flying creatures, all the factions play differently, adds hero units, great workshop support and mods, an overwhelming amount of DLC. But the campaign map is Rome 2 style, so if you prefer earlier campaign map styles (such as Med 2, Rome 1) you might not like the campaign map.

It's a fantastic Total War entry, people's main beefs with it are 1- too much DLC (already has $65 worth of DLC, more than a full price triple A title, and considering there are 2 more expansions coming, and each expansion will probably have even more DLC under it, the cost of buying everything at full price when it comes out will probably total somewhere in the $300-$400 range) and 2- the fantasy setting (historical elitists complaining).
