People are currently speculating that there's three hidden, unlockable LLs: Bel'akor, Boris, and the lost dragon that gets mentioned in the opening cutscene for Cathay. (Please do note that I said SPECULATING, none of this is loving confirmed at all, so take it with gigantic heaps of salt.) Basically, people are trying to figure out why that Boris leak exists at all. Bel'akor was discussed in terms of "his unlockable nature" in the interview that GBG had with the devs, so it seems possible that he unlocks a la Dong Zhuo. So the logic is that, since Cathay's cutscene very specifically mentions their LLs searching for their lost sister, there may be an unlockable lord for them as well. Personally, I think it's out there, but Boris showing up, randomly and without explanation, might actually mean these people aren't totally nuts. I suspect the 50 turn limitation for this embargo is to prevent people running into the next cutscenes during their streams, and thereby spoiling poo poo, if this ends up being true. Again, this is 1000000% speculative and we won't know poo poo about gently caress until someone plays it.

If that’s true no wonder CA needed to delay the game. So much stuff, so excited. Same holds even if it isn’t true.

I do quite like the vortex map, I just don't like the campaign, so i could certainly go for say, a map with the empire, brettonia, down to the southern realms, cutting east across the badlands, and having the world's edge mountains in the middle and including some of the new terrain in the east. You could also do something like the vortex, or possibly just fantasy americas + the donut,

I could see immortal empires having co-op style objectives of raze / occupy n settlements. where smaller maps are focused on putting two major areas against each other with more specific goals

So for Warhams 3, are they going to do the thing where the previous game and its DLC (if you have it) will be available in the newest game? What about if you have 1 and 2 on Steam and you want to get the Game Pass version?

Yes, all three will (eventually) work together as one giant game in WH3, in a separate campaign (like Mortal Empires in WH2). That campaign won't be available at release. We don't know when, exactly, it will. In order for that to work, you need to own all three games on the same storefront. Owning the first two on Steam and playing the third on Game Pass won't work. You'd have to buy the third game on Steam.

What about if you have 1 and 2 on Steam and you want to get the Game Pass version? There will be a big combined campaign called Immortal Empires that will presumably work identically to Mortal Empires. I would wager there's a roughly 99.9% chance that you'll need to own all three games on the same storefront and that cross-storefront recognition won't be a thing, but I could be surprised. The Steam version will probably be the correct choice in any case because of Steam Workshop access.

It's probably been noted already, but there are minor Chaos Warrior factions around with settlements. I think they're mostly named after Kurgan tribes in the lore. fake edit: Still holding out hope for a Kurgan DLC down the line. And the fact that they are Chaos Warriors and not Norscans is actually kind of a good sign there. real edit: Though I'd actually be very happy for Chaos Warrior factions just being the Kurgans if they got some actual steppe nomad flavor to them to make them (especially the marauder units, Chaos Armor units are their own thing IMO) look and play more distinct from the Norscans.

Also technically a lot of factions in RTW1 were unlockable for new playthroughs, done by you murdering them. The concept is pretty old for Total War. IIRC in MTW1 you unlocked some factions by winning campaigns.

Dong Zhuo was unlockable in 3K, Toddy and Sarthorael were unlockable in WH1 (for MP only, but still), etc. I think people are speculating in an attempt to figure out Bel'akor's status, and why Boris is in that leak. Unlockable LLs seems like a reasonable guess, but it's just a guess.

Oh, and said trait is removable too by sitting in a town with the right building. I think the trait is permanent and can get stronger the more you use it, there is also a temporary bigger debuff applied that has a 50% chance of being removed if you stop in a capital.

Don't even get me started on GPUs right now. Been looking since 2020. Still on a 1080. Praying it doesn't die on me.  Meanwhile, the animators have done such a loving great job with so much of this poo poo. Greasus' death animation is hilarious, Skarbrand just runs up and punts dudes, the nurglings are loving gross AND adorable, all the Slaanesh units are creepy weirdos, the Cathayan dragons look incredible in motion, etc. There's so much goodness here, holy gently caress.

re: the rumors about unlocks, that Boris and Be'lakor are in-game is pretty uncontroversial given the models and the the loading screen tip, so they're either going to be unlockable or FLC. I very much doubt they'll pull a WH1-era fuckup considering how long people have been asking for a playable Boris and Red Duke. The third dragon though? Who knows. It's unlikely but this game has already blown way past pretty much every expectation.
