I can't believe those madmen at CA did both "each Chaos god has it's own faction" and "Cathay is not only playable, it's a main race", holy poo poo.

So if WoC isn't apart of the last TWW2 what's the chance the rework comes with the new version of ME?

Blooming Brilliant posted:Said meteorite may have been a warp-entity (or even tyrannid) that made the Ogres even more hungry, so they starting eating everything (including more of his subjects). Well no, they stopped eating his subjects and headed west. They only started eating his traders after taking up residence in the only pass through the mountains of mourn that is useful for caravans, as part of the Warhammer Silk Road equivalent. Also the problem was that originally the Ogres were so numerous they might actually devour Cathay, now they’re a much smaller number and live primarily very far away.

The "III" rising out of all the discarded shields and weapons with the final little music note gave me chills, no bullshit, and made me realize what a badass franchise this turned out to be, warts and all.

Cathay, eh? Pretty cool! Gotta admit, I wasn't expecting them to go for it. From the sounds of it, they seem to be working together with GW to flesh out their roster as well.

KazigluBey posted:The Free Race Pack needs to be either Chaos Dawi or Ogres, but isn't it going to feel weird for one or the other to be missing on the map until their eventual race DLC, given that they inhabit the center of the map more or less, with Cathay to the East and Kislev to the West (Chaos mostly North)? They will probably be present without the DLC just not playable.

Personally this is exactly 100% what I wanted and I didn't think they would do it because of backlash! There is plenty of room within each chaos faction to look, feel, and play completely differently. I didn't dare to hope we'd get Cathay! I did expect Kislev but am happy to see what they do with it.

Wow, was not expecting Cathay, Creative Assembly has really gone above and beyond on this one. I wonder if Warhams Fantasy won't become bigger than 40k thanks to the Total War titles (I mean, now you've got a Fantasy China, that's going to increase the market demand for this series dramatically.)

I always figured he was just a stand in for Ernst von Horstmann who will eventually get LL status. Cathay and Ind have not been fleshed out enough but they are not Chaos aligned either, even if Ind actually has peaceful beastmen who live among humans.

Paused it on the letter, and it seems like the tzarina is the one getting sent on an expedition while the Tzar (I forget their names lol) guards the home front.

Not of the good guys in warhammer have ever been like 100% boy scout good guys, it's not 40k, but there are shades of grey with the Empire, Bretonnia, Kislev (Katarin, whilst highly skilled and driven is a straight up tyrannical autocrat in the style of Peter and Catherine the Great) and the other Human and Elf factions. Cathay using the weapon of the enemy or harnessing the warp can without being straight up Saruman, can be a cool detail for them and also serve to give Chaos nuance (which typically serves to make Chaos more interesting. Tzeentch being on both sides of the conflict in some manner is also extremely appropriate. Womp posted:Paused it on the letter, and it seems like the tzarina is the one getting sent on an expedition while the Tzar (I forget their names lol) guards the home front. Oh. That's a nice observation. I'd have preferred Katarin in Kislev myself, but it still accomplished the same goal as regards start positions (though the way that letter read it did sound like Boris is dead, which is why I thought he'd be the one on the presumed missing expedition).

It is round but the west coast of Naggarroth is basically if Yellowstone erupted and the San Andreas Fault Line was constantly, violently active so it's drat near inhospitable and pretty much no travel happens across that ocean besides Dark Elf slaving parties. Chaos flows from two portals, one at each pole, giving them the ability to attack everywhere at once.

That letter is signed Katarina and sort of mourning sending "Yuri" on an expedition to the north. There's probably a made-up character who starts way up north like that siren lady, Katarina at Kislev, and ol' Boris (the Tzar) somewhere else. Or "Yuri" discovers Boris is alive up north.

As Loremaster of Sotek said on this livestream, Cathay means everything is on the table. They could easily support this for years and by the end, have Ind, Nippon, Snakemen, etc. I've been listening to his Legendary Heroes series on YouTube, and would love that as well. Give me everything you can CA, I'll buy it all.

There is no tsar though, Katrarin is crowned after his supposed death and she's not married. Remember it's official that his best friend bear went on a REVENGE QUEST for the rest of his life after Boris was killed in battle. Marauders would just be sitting around a camp fire somewhere on the steppe and then a pissed off polar bear would murder them. He had met the bear while out hunting, having gotten lost in the snow. The two wrestled for a bit, because they were both hungry and tired and ill-tempered, until they were set upon by wolves, at which point they teamed up to wrestle and eat the wolves, and he was declared high priest of Ursun shortly after when his retainers found him napping with the bear. This is apparently how they pick their high priests.
