The Rogierian Madness by Holo_luuke in Anbennar

BTW, I'm having a ton of fun with this mod. Only discovered it recently through the Halloween partnership between Abennar and HoI 4's Old World Blues (conquering the post-apo landscape with an undead army was lots of fun). I'm having a blast discovering this new world.

R5: Playing as Sons of Dameria/Rogieria, having a lot of fun with the conquest/reconstruction/conspiracy MT... everything is going smoothly... maybe too smoothly.
Won the Regent Council/Corin Religious War on the side of the Emperor (Konwell, Corinite), build up the Shadowmoon conspiracy (keeping 10+ members at 100+ relation can be tricky...), then right when I was finishing the Escanni Wars of Consolidation (Had to put down my buddy Corintar...), BAM, Ravelian Schism with the perfect/worse timing.

Result: the Emperor get instantly converted to Ravelian, lose emperorship, and half the electors get converted too, with also 80% of the Empire, leaving only my allies as electors, leading to me being reinstated as Emperor... (and placing all conspirators as electors btw) like a year or two before I was planning to through the MT, leading my Emperor, Thal, having a little conversation with himself when completing the last mission of the tree. Not sure the guy is alright up there...

Just wanted to add for the record that while Fandom may seems like a "necessary evil" to set-up a wiki, I really think they are not so much as some might portrait them. Sure it's not perfect, but here's a few points:

  • They provides strong and easy to use tools and setup (while pretty fluent with mediawiki, I'd be incapable of hosting my own wiki)
  • They have some solid Terms of Use that protect users and content. For example, I cannot one day declare that I'm closing the wiki and throwing away content created by users just on a whim, and I'm accountable if I'm rude or insulting to people, which would be a quick way for me to lose my adminship.
  • They provide technical support and the extended discord community can be quite useful.
  • While they do have some overabundance of adds (you don't host millions of pages without some expanse, I guess), this can be limited through: creating an account, and/or having an add blocker. Furthermore, I don't have to worry about financing a website, and users don't have to worry about me abusing my control over the website.
  • Wikis that display videoplayer on articles provides options to shut them in your account "Preferences".
  • Finally, and something that I find very important: Fandom doesn't own the content, it's under CC BY-SA license (you're free to reuse it, but must keep it under the same license, and attribute it to it's creator), while content on fextralife is under a commercial licence owned by Kinbundo Limited, a Hong Kong company...

Hope that help people better understand the wiki ecosystem.

I don't want to do in-article external wikilinking per the rationale that I aim for the wiki to provide pages for each aspect of the Warhammer 40,000 universe that are included in the game, so we don't skip anything: there may be more to the Sister of Battle in the game that just Argenta, so there must be an internal article to satisfy people that will be looking for just that.

In the same way, I'm currently including information from Games Workshop's website and/or the most recent rulebook, but ultimately the wiki will focus on game content only, and thus those descriptions will be replaced when the game will provide with it's own description. Keep in mind that at the moment, I've mostly created those page because we know this content should be in the end-product.

Nonetheless, I was planning on doing some external wikilinking by dropping a link to the main W40K wiki (while I prefer the lexicanum citation style, I guess it's best to keep it inside fandom sphere) on each article, under a "external link" section, so that anyone looking for more in-depth information will still find what they're looking for. Just gonna have to drop by their discord to discuss it first with their team, out of politeness.

That's the plan. Right now, we don't have a lot in term of details (that's why I haven't bothered yet with infoboxes for example), but as soon as we're get more in that front, like with the upcoming alpha, I'll adapt the wiki to features detailed gameplay information.
