    The Empire is like a minigame on itself. CA could drawn inspiration from Crusader Kings and how they handle many different dynasties and vassals inside a single kingdom, or maybe how the Christian kingdoms worked with the Papacy in Medieval, only if you ever declared war on your fellow county you would be "excomunicated" immediatly.

      @GreveElof 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gakgaming I must admit, I was not to keen on the game being about Warhammer. But after spending more time on reading the lore, it is really intresting, and it will be a perfect mix between history-ish, like the empire and fantasy, with the orks and such :) The empire is like the Holy roman empire, something that I would look forward to interact with :)

    • @martinsgakke
      @martinsgakke 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      andré popovski Yeah, Warhammer is undoubtely the logical universe to go for a series specialized in historical warfare to add a bit of fantasy. There would be no better place to go for CA if they wanted to skip slightly from historical theme. Also Warhammer PC gaming fans have been waiting for something that looked like Total War since Mark of Chaos (which was alright but not quite there).
      The Warhammer tabletop game is very similar to Total War battles, except turn based. But the complexity is there, charge, terrain, range, morale etc.

    • @emprahsfinest7092
      @emprahsfinest7092 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gakgaming Actually, there's a pretty great mod for Crusader Kings 2 on steam called Warhammer: Geheimnisnacht that is a total conversion of the ENTIRE warhammer fantasy world. Its a WIP, and only humans, dwarves, Chaos dwarves and Orcs are actually fleshed out, but its shaping to be really fun if you like Crusader Kings 2-it has Chaos and vampires and alot of cool stuff. eventually the dev said they'd add all the races.

    I see a solution to the single nation or choose your province issue:
    make the whole empire a faction option, and have the provinces as well.

    I'm hoping the game plays as the 1 faction empire and you have general units you can recruit anywhere but have to recruit certain high quality troops in certain regions. It would be awesome to raise units and have them march to a staging area for assignment. Please bring back non general lead armies. Tired of having to march my army back home when i could have sent reinforcements from the capital halfway through the campaign so my army could continue its onslaught.
    Or have the states be chosen as separate factions but you can commission troops. So you would have a recruitment tab and a commission tab. There you could see the units of your allies and choose which ones you would like to commission. So if you want some heavy gunners you would have to wait 2 turns for them to be recruited and then oh so many turns for them to reach your capital. Then you can assign them to an army.

    Not gonna lie I miss warhammer fantasy. It felt like a grimdark but approachable version of middle earth and way more developed. Age of sigmar feels more like a board game with a fantasy setting where as WHF felt like an awesome universe that you got to play. It's also the only universe I ever fantasized about living in when I was a kid and I found my first book explaining the main factions. Hell me wanting to be a vampire count at 9 was probably what set me up to be a goth and metal head. Then gw fucked it all up so they could own the copy right for every aspect. What's the point if owning the copyright when no body wants to buy your shit? Hopefully they will just abandon aos and go back to fantasy

    Given what we have now seen of the game now internal conflict within the empire should not be difficult. Given that unit banners and hovering icons indicate friend or foe not colours on the units themselves; factional empire would just involve changing those icons and unit choice limits and a few unit bonuses. I can even see how they could do dwarf on dwarf or a great greenskin brawl.
    Halflings should be a separate army though. The have their own army book and pie cannons are a must.

  • @hal0dude7
    @hal0dude7 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think whether or not the Empire will be one faction depends on the size of the game map. If it's small and focused on the Old World and the general Empire vicinity then it would be logical to assume they'd make the individual provinces, because a united Empire would essentially cover a quarter of the map and that's just OP I would say.

  • @nick5049
    @nick5049 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Considering this is Warhammer and thus based off of the table top, Creative Assembly will most likely introduce an army painter (like in Dawn of War) under instruction from Game Workshop. So, as you were worried about colour scheme DLC's, I don't think you should be as they will be not be introduced (unless there are unique patterns or CA-created colour schemes instigated). This is the most logical conclusion, at least. I could be entirely wrong, however.
