History Heartwarming / TotalWarWarhammerII

* A meta example is found in the relationship between the development team and the player community. While often exaggerated, there is a reason for the common stereotypes that gaming companies are tone-deaf to the expectations of the playerbase, while said playerbase is frequently derided as unpleasable. Not so with Warhammer. With a few exceptions, the playerbase is almost universally approving of the game and how it has been handled. And the developers have responded by striving to make a fun game in as many facets as possible, and showing their willingness to listen to criticism and make adjustments based on that criticism, such as in reworking the various Game 1 factions to be just as enjoyable as those in Game 2.

March saw the introduction of the Rakarth FLC, a fun unique lord and campaign completely free for the players. And then the final major update saw several major quality of life changes; first the Beastmen received their long-awaited update that has received enormous praise from turning a mediocre and boring faction into one that is fun and interesting. Then in a surprising move, a smaller rework was added to the Dwarfs when normally such reworks are only one per DLC. Finally, a number of minor additions were done to several Game 1 Legendary Lords to put them in the same league as their Game 2 counterparts.

Let that sink in - the Dwarfs never ask you to do this, Repanse simply
