March 3, 2016 – Creative Assembly have revealed more new gameplay from the Grand Campaign in Total War: WARHAMMER with the release The Dwarfs Campaign Gameplay Walkthrough.
Following the Greenskins Campaign Gameplay Video (https://youtu.be/vJUWImJUZrU) released last year, and the Empire Campaign Video (https://youtu.be/0KaCSZlanvo) released last month, this new video provides a brief, work-in-progress look at a campaign played as the industrious but quarrelsome Dwarfs.
Complete with developer commentary, the Campaign Walkthrough also includes a first look at the Dammaz Kron, or Great Book of Grudges, a brand new feature for Total War and one that is totally unique to these short but altogether vengeful warriors.
As a Dwarf player, two of your key objectives are to recapture the fallen Dwarf Strongholds scattered through the Badlands and to clear the Great Book of Grudges. Each Grudge recorded over time comes with specific fulfilment conditions and rewards, but be warned, the Dwarfs are proud and quarrelsome! As your campaign progresses, slights against you will generate a rapidly increasing list of scores to settle, and the more outstanding grudges, the more the Dwarfs will grumble…
A fantasy strategy game of legendary proportions, Total War: WARHAMMER combines an addictive turn-based campaign of conquest and empire-building with explosive, colossal, real-time battles, all set in the vivid and incredible world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Total War: WARHAMMER will release on April 28th 2016 and is available now to pre-order http://store.steampowered.com/app/364360/.
March 3, 2016– An escaped slave-turned-vigilante, Libertee falls prey to the experimentations of a mad surgeon. Her body twisted, but enhanced with supernatural abilities, she sets off in pursuit of the doctor only to find herself torn between vengeance and the threat of a much more powerful enemy.
Available today for Hard West, Scars of Freedom is a downloadable scenario merging gothic horror and the wild west in an original tale of revenge, offering seven missions of deadly tactical combat, 10 playable characters, and a morbid new method of character customization.
Players can once again customize their gunfighters, though Scars of Freedom offers a more…literal take on character-building by swapping out body parts to enhance Libertee’s abilities. Transplant a gambler’s liver to bring bad luck to those around you or a vampire’s brain to grant the ability to regenerate in the shadows, and transform Libertee into a walking force of destruction.
Scars of Freedom is a downloadable scenario for Hard West on PC (Win/Mac/Linux) and is available today for $2.99, and free to all Kickstarter backers.

Their powers can be claimed by those who prove themselves worthy by defeating Emperor Izaro. There are 19 new Ascendancy classes, each with its own additional Ascendancy Skill Tree to master.

Powerful New Gems:Ascendancy introduces a set of devastating new skills and support gems to customize your character with.
Exotic New Items: Featuring dozens of Unique Items and Divination Cards designed by Path of Exile’s community, Ascendancy adds tantalizing power for players to discover.
