Still got like 4 hours until I'm home from work and then maybe another 30 mins to 1 hour to unpack...

Have fun everyone :negative:

I’ve never played a Total War game. The last “modern” RTS games I played were XCOM 1 & 2 and…uh….Company of Heroes 1. I like the aesthetic of Warhammer, is diving into the 3rd one viable or would I need to consider playing the first two titles?

3 comes with a 2-5 hour prologue narrative tutorial campaign that's pretty comprehensive so frankly it's the best one to start with.

I am absolutely loving the fact that you can just spawn an army to fight you if you're bored as Khorne.

Turns out I'm not exactly a modern day Zhuge Liang and managed to lose 80% of my army in the first Khorne quest battle. Oh well, at least I got some nice axes out of it.

Ran into a bug last night while trying to start a Greasus campaign - I couldn't move Greasus army, which I've seen happen if there is a dialogue box that I'm expected to close. But there was no box to close.

tbh, being somewhat bad at the game does help with the tone of the prologue's story. I imagine there would of been a disconnect with the growing sense of desperation and haggardness if I was emerging from each quest battle with almost all my forces intact.

True, but sadly this isn't the prologue and I'm just being bad on the main campaign. Did a lot of mismanagement early on and nearly bankrupted myself a couple of times with the free armies you get for razing as Khorne. I kinda wish that there was an upkeep discount on them or something but I can also see it as the game telling me "use it strategically instead of just hitting it for fun, dumbass".

Now that I have a functioning economy I am enjoying the fact that I can use the portals to just teleport Skarbrand to Kislev and gently caress up a ton of poo poo there while the other factions are distracted by going into the Realms of Chaos.

Around 200+ turns into my Khorne Domination campaign, razed Kairos to the ground, only both Cathaians and Skrag are left. None of them have more than 2 souls so I'm safe from the race at least. I'm tearing through Cathay right now and Skrag is stuck in a hellwar stalemate with the Empire so he'll be easy to take out last. The hardest part is going to be getting the 50 provinces settled I need for the victory condition, really. At least I killed all the Nurgle minors so no more plagues to deal with.

Portals are fun as Skarbrand because you can just port into the middle of Cathay or Kislev and gently caress poo poo up.

Thinking about a possible Ind and Khuresh, what's the sensitivity response to Cathay been like? It's all broad stereotypes but has it been received in like a good way or in a 'oh yeah these guys made the pygmies' way. Because seeing more non European-based human cultures would be sick but I have no idea if we can really trust them with it.

As someone who's ethnically Chinese, I can't speak for everyone obviously but I really liked Cathay and thought they were rad as hell without falling into stereotypes. A few mainland China communities I know also enjoy it a decent amount.

Also, as someone from Southeast Asia, hell yeah make us super cool snakemen.
