juggalo baby coffin posted:they don't really play up the guerilla warrior aspects very well either. wood elves are some nightmare combination of the picts, the traditional scary, insane fairies, and the vietcong. i think their characterisation is the weakest out of any of the factions in warhammer total war. Nagarythe feels more like I imagine how Wood Elves should play. Then again, whats more Wood Elfy than a stack of Way Watchers providing counter battery fire with almost 300 range.

i'm concerned that "malus darkblade" is a pretty silly name and doesn't match the serious and grounded tone of warhammer fantasy, the setting where the moon is made out of magic cheese

Hawgh posted:There's a town in northwestern Zealand named 'Kværkeby', which translates as Choketown. Is it really stranger than Stoneless [has the same dirt double meaning as in English], Boneless, Bedless, Make Out, Intestine, Member [body part, also includes the same dirty double meaning as in English], and other strangely-named towns across Denmark? Probably they've all got some more-or-less innocent etymology. I suppose it just goes to show that however stupid the name you try to think up, someone or somewhere already has an even more stupid name. edit: or Seed [double meaning], or Beer Piece, I could go on.

Technically Sylvania cribs a bite from Transylvania, so there's your fantasy Romania/Hungary. Talabecland is supposed to have some Czech elements and both Ostland and Ostermark are meant to evoke unspecific Eastern Europe vibes from Kislevite settlers and refugees intermingling with the local population.

The amounts of time I have used Heim in everyday speech (Swedish/Danish) can be evenly divided between talking about Vikings/Norse gods and WH things. Neither of which I do on a regular basis. So Including hem/hjem in it is just moving the goalposts. Btw trying to make real world sense of fantasy settings is kinda silly.

Isn't that just Bretonnia? e: I guess to clarify, Bretonnia has always struck me as an amalgamation of Brittany, Normandy and England and draws influence from periods where those three were pretty heavily intertwined politically with some extra french geographical elements thrown in for good measure. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Apr 7, 2019 |

Dude's put a lot of cool poo poo into this one, he mentioned that he hope it'll be the standard for faction revamps moving forward. I'd be stoked to have bodyguards for Dwarf Lords so they feel a lot cooler to use, and less cheesy just by parking some dude with all the ward saves from forging items out front while Vietnam occurs on all enemies surrounding him.

CA having the knights and peasants be holy grail frenchmen and peasants is really good and seems british, that said

It’d be fun to see how brits self-parodied themselves in Hams. If I remember right, the peasants have british accents and the knights (and Ladies) have French ones, at least in Total War: Warhammer. Make of that what you will. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

It’d be fun to see how brits self-parodied themselves in Hams. Honestly, I see more of the Carolingian cycle, particularly of the Peers of Charlesmagne (i.e.: literally where the word "Paladin' comes from) in Bretonnia than straight up Arthurian Tales. Though I must concede that there is a lot of similarities and cross-polination between them, and I might be biased because I am more familiar with the Matter of France than Britain's.
