From CA's point of view, would putting Cathay in to TW3 be competing with themselves?

Real Cool Catfish posted:I’m not holding out for Cathay, but I doubt the ME map having to cater to lore would factor into their decisions on making paid DLC. Put any super Far East lords on an edge or some islands by the coast and have the narrator go “Boy you sure are a long way from home, my Lord. Why not massacre the locals and start a new Kingdom” They're not going to include an army that never got a book, barely got mentioned in the lore, and isn't even on the map in the game

Wafflecopper posted:Exactly. Why anyone thinks we might get Cathay when Kislev is still just an empire province is beyond me No one is actually thinking that Cathay is even remotely likely. What, at least I, am doing is just waxing theoretical at the possibilities and decrying CA for never doing anything with the idea of Warhammer's far east. Hypothetical toys to play with, nothing more.

I think they'll probably add Dogs of War as TW2 DLC. I think that tops the list for likelihood given that DoW can be used to represent the whole southern part of the Old World: Tilea, Estalia & Border Prices, three separate factions and a not insignificant part of the world map. DoW can also represent a bunch of smaller factions throughout the Vortex map like Sartosa and New World colonies. And they had an actual tabletop army for WHFB at one point. I personally think Araby is unlikely after that because they don't cover quite as much of the world map, never had a WHFB tabletop army (outside of the sister game Warmaster) and CA may prefer to focus on DLC for the existing factions. However, if Araby is added they will be added in TW2 because they can fit into the vortex campaign. Cathay is delusional. We know that all the tabletop factions are going to be in, so that means Ogres and Daemons. If Ogres are in, then it follows that Chaos Dwarfs will be in, since they also occupy the Dark Lands area of the map. That's 3 out of the 4 'main' factions we're likely to see, with maybe Kislev being the surprise 4th faction. They'll want to make DLC for TW3, so we might see them add the Old World factions to W3 for free, so that they can skip the "no DLC for DLC" thing. So I'm predicting a return to the Old World alongside the Dark Lands in TW3.

Dogs of War for the final WH2 campaign pack, with Araby as a Norsca-esque bonus race DLC (that had drat well be integrated into WH3 properly this time around) would be nice.

I mean just looking at whfb army lists tells us what's going in w3 so there's nothing wrong with imagining what could have been, especially imagining a source material that wasn't under the stewardship of nincompoops.

I'm still banking on 'Southern Realms' being a single faction covering Tilea, Estalia and Araby with a mixed mercenary roster, simply because there's not a lot of room in the Southlands even if you remove all of the crusaders.

I think the crusaders are a place holder for Araby, the towns in the northwest of the southlands, (hams morroco) have a distinctly, Arabian thing going on with minarets and stuff. It'd possibly be a very fun starting area too, put some dark elves off the coast, random greenskin incursions, sweaty dwarves in the mountains, angry skeletons all around. Definitely the sort of place that would benefit from a Grand Vizier.

Ogres Vs Daemons Vs Chaos Dwarves Vs Kislev is a pretty crummy selection for a full priced game, especially if you don't already own WH1. So I at least hope they add something significant as well. A re-done Empire (e.g. adding in some end times content, the ability to recruit from allied factions as mercenaries) is also possible in my eyes.

If Araby or Cathay shows up I'd want CA to at least hire a consultant or two actually arabic/chinese with a background in history/myth/folklore. Not so much for cultural sensitivity (although that is nice to have) but to provide some insight into cool units that aren't just the super predictable Disney versions of the rosters people always put forward. Like check the TW forums and see how every dream Cathay roster is "peasant hordes, terracotta soldiers, dragons, crossbows, rockets, kung fu monks. Maybe those guardian dog statues that rich white people like." Those thing can all be there but for a roster representing a huge area for like 2000 years of history there's gotta be some cooler stuff to mine from chinese myth. Same for Araby. "Flying carpets, djinn, elephants, bandits with scimitars, led by an evil Vizier named Jafar!" That's not racist like Carbombya is racist but it's lame compared to how over the top and often in-jokey the main roster of factions can be.

Speaking of; https://www.totalwar.com/blog/three-kingdoms-romanticised-history quote:Janos: It is, but we want to launch a game that’s both historically accurate and culturally authentic. Total War: THREE KINGDOMS will be based on the romanticised history by default, but there’ll also be a Classic Mode option before you start a campaign that makes the experience closer in execution to past Total War historical titles. I like this, it's like there will be a TW: Warhammer / Dynasty Warriors esque mode where your Heroes are like the LLs in TW: Warhammer and a separate mode that's just regular TW. I wonder if the Lord skill trees or whatever they end up going with will differ between modes; I expect you'd have access to and be leveling very different things in the two modes, since your Lords would behave so differently in one or the other.

The 3K delay from fall to spring seems like it opens up a lot more room on the calendar for Warhammer 2 DLC, especially since it presumably means Warhammer 3 won't be coming out for quite a while.

I'd hope if they did Araby they'd ignore Jafar entirely. Or put him in as the Arkhan equivalent. I think they could very easily create a faction built up around the better aspects of Araby. Spears/Heavy Guard forming the core, Archers/Light Calv/Heavy Calv forming the flanks ( including Camel Calv ). Dervishes, Corsairs, and Assassins forming the more unique side units. Then you start getting into the fantasy units. Flying Carpets function as a fast attack Calv similar to Pegasus Knights, Elephants as extreme heavy Calv, Djinn could also function as a form of caster Calv, or potentially a heavier unit depending on how they'd want to built it out. This is all canon stuff CA could use, and we aren't even getting into the Warmaster/Forgeworld stuff like Radiant Pegasus, which are the Bretonnia Pegasus but ON loving FIRE with a firebreath attack. Literally the only issue we have for Araby is LLs. We have more then enough from previous canon to build out an army.

the biggest argument for Cathay is that they’ll be able to reuse a lot of assets and textures from Three Kingdoms, but considering how massive the country is in the lore it seems like a pretty big undertaking to represent it in game 3. I’m still thinking that game 3 will feature a Realm of Chaos map for the demon factions to start in, before being able to tear their way into the old world map (with a little more east of the world’s edge mountains of course)
