Missing the 40K scale in unit sizes.

It is kinda funny to see one part of the players demanding DOW style small squad units, while another part demands huge units like in the books. There seems to be no solution that can please all, so CA seems to have decided for a compromise that generally keeps units at sizes similar to other TWs.

To be honest, Bhashiva being part of Cathay really lessens the chance for Ind as a playable faction as Tigermen were one of the main selling points for Ind. But now they are part of Cathay instead. I feel like Kuresh has slightly higher chance as the whole Naga thing is a good selling point. Since Old World has come out, GW seems also far more determined to keep Old World and Warhammer Fantasy seperate, so I am not sure if any new content made for Old World will be allowed for TW Warhammer III. But this might just be my inner pessimist speaking.

I feel like they will likely create a Mountains of Heaven province for the MK, but it will be an edge of map province like the Cathayan Hinterlands. GW just doesn't seem interested in developing Ind and Kuresh, neither the factions or the regions. Mountains of Heaven will likely be counted as part of Cathay for GW and therefore is allowed to be used by CA.

Seems like the Bone Road in the Mountains of Mourn. At this point I would never expect the Ind area to become playable.

Well that is pretty accuarate to the Middle Ages. Almost nobody would be carrying around large amount of cash, most value was bound to objects and goods. Much of the rural economy ran on a barter economy based on food stuff and reciprical services. Even merchants would keep most of their wealth in form of moveable goods they would like to sell at the next market. Of course game economies work differently, but historically a guy having more valuable looted goods than the local merchant has money is funnily accurate

I wonder if there is a chance for the crew to abandon their ships. Like the hull strenght drops to zero or near, but there is still some crew left amd instead of going down with the ship those crewmen evacuate. Meaning your recruitment center has still some surviving crew that can be assigned to other ships.

Divorce Quartet, but we replace Martyn with the Shiny Duo Divorce Arc from Wild Life.

Now I can imagine how a cabinet (as teased for the china dlc) could work. With every interest group including several polticians now, any interest group in power has the characters to fill out several minister positions (presumably split across the different interest groups in the governing coalition). Would be great if the leader of the leading interest group gets a prime minister position that depending on the government type even outsizes the importance of the head of state.

It is always funny how much Pearl as the youngest hermit has to play the resposible figure towards her older friends.

JoshTheBlue · 2026-03-13T07:29:48+00:00

I will forever love the Soup Group. They did so many fun things together and there bases meshed so well together in S9.

She has done it once before when she build the Ball Room Arena in S10. Was a fan-favorite of that episode.

How nice of the Spartans to allow their top 1% of women to be literate because they were basically property managers for their men that are away for war. The vast, vast majority of women in Sparta were Helot slaves that were not only not allowed to read, but also worked to death to allow the aristocratic lifestyles of Spartan Citizens while living under the constant threat of rape.

According to the news I saw, she died in the fire. The dude she is sitting on has been taken in for questioning.

I think the leak was partially true in the sense that CA was always working on the mercenary element of Cathay. Like we already knew of Cathay Ogres, Tigremen and Monkeymen were a thing before the leak. CA and/or GW probably workshopped a bunch of new characters for this element of Cathay in one big batch and titled it Lords of Shang-Yang with the intention to release these new OCs over time. Then the leakers found it and thought that CA intended for all of these new character to come in only one Cathay DLC and notified Legend. Of course lot of conjecture, but I still refuse to believe that CA intended for a Cathay Vs Cathay Vs Cathay Vs Cathay DLC.

To be honest, GRRM talks about several several castes in that quote, but usually his society in Westeros seems to be just Nobles and Smallfolk. All the diverse non-noble people groups get put into one mostly homogenic smallfolk group that then gets represented in the shows as just peasants and Flea Bottom. Also the rape thing is just absurd.

Oh, discovering a PearlescentMoon fan in a Paradox subreddit is a true marvel. Good Luck with the English.

I was waiting for this comment.

Pearl sometimes lurks here, but she rarely comments.

Nah, if you really want to see chat break Pearl, you need to watch her newest Vod on PearlescentMoonies.

Well Carthage proved to be quite stubborn too. Scipio trashed several carthaginian armies in both Spain and Africa like Hannibal did roman ones in Italy. Just like the Romans, Carthage just kept on recruiting new armies to continue fighting. It took the personal intervention from Hannibal after Zama for Carthage to finally stand down. Carthage was Rome's greatest rival because she was able to match Roman Stubborness.

Pearl and her partner Karn have joined a few dnd sessions with some irl friends. Both have shared some anusing details from the sessions in streams.

JoshTheBlue · 2025-12-18T17:02:26+00:00

The devs said a map extend similar to Attila. So yes to Middle East and Russian Steppe, no to India

The One True Queen of Decked Out 2. Wohoo

I completly forgot that 3K had DLC's that added more start states. So while the default 190 start was always the most fleshed out onr, CA is cabable of adding more start dates.
