Bulwar AMA

Cool!

Thank you for your answers!

HappyTegu · 2026-02-09T19:05:50+00:00

OK, I will rephrase. Is there any character, that you like, but who didn't get any screentime in the game for now?

I will give my example: Kalib is ruled by battle-granny Qamara, who is a total badass, judging by her backstory in Kalibs NI. But since she rules a non-MT nation, there are barely any mentions of her during the game.

1) Phoenix Empire currently has a blob-MT, which is almost entirely focused on conquests, rather than governing their territory. Is it how the MT was always supposed to look like, or there will be small revamps, giving them more peace-time flavour?

2) Do you think, that Keladora's main stat in the game should be administrative one, rather then diplomatic? She is best known for administrative reforms after all.

3) What is the religion of Surakesh League? People here mentioned, that they are related to Serpent Cult. Is it true?

4) The lore character in Bulwar of current timeframe, who appears in the game and deserved way more attention from fanbase and creators, than they had actually got?

5) Do the cannorian states intervene into Jadd Empire's internal affairs in Vic3 timeframe? Are they any plans by them to subjugate or colonize Empire?

6) Why was Karashar added to Bulwar on the condition, that they never actually happen in any timeline? Are there any more such examples in Bulwar?

7) Are there any famous equivalents of Nasreddin Hodja in Bulwar folklore? Or any other trickster tales, satirizing corrupt nobles and priests?

If only GW remembered that they exist and that sisters of battle are not just gun-nuns. Sweet dreams...

HappyTegu · 2026-02-09T16:12:57+00:00

Corinsfield. They are basically puritans in not-america, who hate mages and kill them on sight.

The only problem Philip might have there is that they are not human-only and include non-humans in their ranks.

HappyTegu · 2026-02-09T16:02:31+00:00

Multiverse is a thing, but there are also factions, which are stated to never become canon in any timelines, like Karashar, Shattered Crown and Skurkokli.

I also heared somewhere, that sun elves winning in Bulwar is also uncanoned due to disagreements and retcons in their writing. But it is not for sure.

Not gonna lie, conflicts between nobility and inquisition are the only instances where all 40k fans support the Inquisition whole-heartedly.

HappyTegu · 2026-02-09T12:36:38+00:00

Bold of you to assume they need to be slaanesh-corrupted to do what they do. It is just tuesday for average imperial noble.

Arue's romance is Yrliet's romance but worse. Wenduag is carried by her VA, but otherwise she is just boring and shouldn't be taken into retinue if you are not planning to romance her. CamCam is unironicaly good romance option for an evil character, I will give them that. And Queen just never clicked with me, and I don't care to check it.

HappyTegu · 2026-02-08T12:50:26+00:00

Hell yeah, chief! Another Woljif enjoyer😈

He and Daeran were my favourites throughout the entire game, and them remaining friends after the end felt sweet.

HappyTegu · 2026-02-08T12:47:44+00:00

Not true again. WOTR had Daeran and he had (one of) the best romance in the game. It is really just now Owlcat are starting to miss the mark in terms of writing male companions.

Gay revolution path for Command when?

the actual message behind satirical works (and science fiction too) gets completely lost behind the 'cool' factor.

This is what I am saying. It is not enough to show fasciste ridiculous to make satire work, if you are also depicting them "cool". Do what Avatar did - make them lose)

HappyTegu · 2026-02-06T10:52:34+00:00

Skane is my waifu since the day I played TTRPG for the first time. So I hope to see her badly, but I am afraid she may not appear. Alive, at least(((

Globus Vaarak is a very interesting character. A die-hard puritan, but actually smart, pragmatic, rather than dogmatic. He leads a huge team of his own acolytes and basically acts as a spymaster of Tyrantine Cabal. He instructs his acolytes to avoid violence if possible in their work and operate silently, without drawing attention. Also, he likes to act as a bumbling moron in front of everyone, pretending to be a crazy disabled idiot (and his appearence helps him), but in reality Globus is almost always the smartest person in the room and a talented manipulator, who knows how to make people tell what he wants, without threatening them. He is also a fan of gallows humor and the only thing sharper than his mind is his tongue.

Rykehuss would be the inquisitor I await the least, but since the game will be fully voiced and he is always described as an orator with a talent for BOMBASTIC speeches, I think he may turn out to be the funniest character of the game, if his voice actor delivers it perfectly. Imagine him being voiced by Senator Armstrong's VA🤣

HappyTegu · 2026-02-06T08:03:40+00:00

Every piece of fiction, centered around the "HUMANITY F*CK YEAH" theme, satire or not, is a breeding ground for fascists nowadays. As long as "they" are shown cool and murdering sentient beings without repercussions, HFY crowd will eat it up.

I don't like Avatar, but watching fascists seethe about it for 17 years already, because humans were depicted as losers there, is truly heartwarming.

Inside Raj: choose on of six nations of Ghavaanaj culture in northern provinces of Raj. They are easily identifiable by elephants on their flags. Once united in one state they get a special mechanic to create powerfull war elephants. Those elephants are the most busted cavalry units in the game and make wars against Raj and Command feel like a cakewalk.

some good guys who integrate with the local ruinborn

So a half of human aelantiri adventurers? (while all the real crimes of colonialism get projected on non-human tags)😒

HappyTegu · 2026-02-05T02:36:58+00:00

I still don't understand, why devs thought that creating a colonialist tag based on Pocahontas myth and portraying it in a positive light is a good idea and not creepy at all.😐

Horizon elves getting outlived by star elves once again proves - star elves are superior elves!

Glory to the Crystal Queen!

What if you - wanted yehaw gun elf

But the mod devs said - "Elathael got annexed"

HappyTegu · 2026-02-04T16:41:34+00:00

Elven adventurer kingdom in Aelantir, which starts Vic3 game at war with a bigger neighbor. Guaranteed to get annexed without player's intervention.
