Really, most of the game is about who has the best hat when you think about it.

I mean wasn’t history all about wearing the biggest bestest hat? (up until sniper rifles anyway)

While Ogres look cool as hell, I think CA really missed a golden opportunity by making them sound basically like Orcs. Just imagine if they had gone full Hunnic/Mongolian, we could have had Ogre throat singing.

Possibly a case of Hurt Feelings over Cathay not including the nine-dash line.

Nah it’s mostly because CA’s PR department prioritized early access codes to big streamers (that turned out not to be Total War or strategy game fans) over the people playing Total War in China. Imagine if they gave a code to Pewdiepie and not Turin for example, and then Pewdiepie made a video talking poo poo on total war because he can’t win the fights.


Also, I don’t get what’s wrong with the trees? They just look a bit bigger and there’s fewer of them.

There's a decent chance I'll end up using a mod to get rid of minor settlement battles altogether a lot of the time. They were a cool idea, and I don't think it'll be an always on mod, but the implementation does make it kind of a pain, and now field battles aren't common enough. Obviously I'm open to patches making the system better too, by making towers less spammable and especially fixing some pathfinding stuff.

A cool mod would be to turn on minor settlement battles once the minor settlement hits tier 3

Do chaos dwarfs do grudges

CHAOS grudges

Weirdly, no. Oh there's still a warped sense of honor and dishonor, the last models Chorfs had was this penal legion that joined up with a big Nurgle champion Tamurkhan. But get this- you can actually do your time and re-enter chorf society, unlike slayers where the only option is death. Plus while vanilla Dorfs tally individual grudges, the Chaos Dwarfs have dispensed with any "The Books" and instead get by with a strong and steady contempt for everything that exists, with maybe a little extra sadism for their uncorrupted kin. Not the slavering destruction of Chaos Champions, not the intricate depravations of the Dark Elves, or the paranoid innovation of Skaven, no. Just the burning coals of assumed superiority over mortals and daemons alike.

Hey, guess what! If Boris Todbringer gets a DLC he'll bring Empire Hounds with him! Probably beagles or wolfhounds instead of the Small But Vicious Dogs from the RPG, but Middenland is second only to the Space Wolves in going all-in on wolf-wolfs

Because CA’s primary feedback forums are Steam and the Total War forums. Reddit is bad, but it’s downright sane versus those cesspits.

That being said, I’d actually heard some minor complaints over Scrag occupying one of the Big Deal Cities in the border kingdoms. Kairos and Teclis are out of left field though.

That's dumb, I want at least some mercenary ogres down where the mercenaries live, and the castles in that part of the map may as well have revolving doors for how often some punk rolls up and sets up shop

It can’t be overstated how unreliable skaven tech was on tabletop.
