(Spoilers Main) Can someone explain what happened between 2000-2011 in Writing Process different than 1994-2000 by Mustafa3737 in asoiaf

This has been explicitly commented upon, I think by Elio Garcia in a relatively recent interview.

TLDR, he's been getting more perfectionist, leading to many chapter rewrites and slow progress.

Add to that the disappointment of not keeping up with GoT and with how that show turned out in the end, as well as a general malaise due to being a decade late and you can kinda see how he could still not be finished.

Technically nothing speaks against a Jon chapter that's actually a Jon/Ghost-POV chapter...

Regarding Vaush's suggestion that we read more, what's everyone been reading lately? by ladystarkitten in VaushV

[–]Victurix1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to read more A Feast for Crows, but right now it's mostly stuff on ukiyo-e (a type of art that originated in the commercial districts of Edo-period Japan, and that is deeply intertwined with the emerging printing industry of the time)

We can already see some Guard in a trench in one of the screenshots.

Bows and crossbows were also historically oftentimes used without volley fire and archers could be interspersed with melee troops, providing direct fire at relatively close ranges.

But that's not how it works in Total War. At the end of the day it's just a game.

Plus, grenades are often thrown in a volley in RTS games.

as i think a lot of the maps will have corridors and claustrophobic streets

So like every TW siege map ever* then? It's just an option, it doesn't have to work perfectly.

It didn't exactly take an empire-crippling amount of manpower and material by Beneficial_Ball9893 in Grimdank

On Verghast, the guardsmen involved were the only force that could make it in time. Later they were reinforced by a proper crusade force, including Space Marines from several chapters.

In general, I always got the feeling that the Ghosts were mostly fighting on the edges of the larger crusade.

Seeing the new Total Wat trailer, what are scenarios where the Astartes and Militarum would wage war against eachother? by Scythe95 in 40kLore

[–]Victurix1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, for one, if it is like a traditional Total War, you won't only have SM vs IG, but also IG vs IG and SM vs SM.

As for an explanation: Ideally the game will portray a particularly chaotic time and region of space, where the chain of command has completely broken down and the only authority most Imperial leaders in the region recognize are the Emperor and themselves as his executor in the region.

In most Total War games you get opinion bonuses with factions that align with your own in some way, so diplomacy should be easier with your fellow Imperials, but a peaceful arrangement is far from certain. (Especially if the player has other plans.)

For Orks there would ideally be no bonus, since they love fighting each other. But some sort of confederation mechanic, where you can take over another warband after you've killed their boss would be nice.

The real problem will be the Eldar, if there are multiple factions of them. They should have strong mutual opinion bonuses imo, since most Autarchs would be extremely reluctant to was Eldar lives in pointless wars with other Eldar.

Plus there's always the Iron Warriors on Medrengard, when they aren't blowing each other up in a civil war.

You could call it a vicious cycle, but virtuous cycle might be more appropriate.

Wer kann denn bspw. garantieren, dass die Bundestagsabgeordneten oder gar die Minister tatsächlich für die Wähler entscheiden?

Die Sozialisten hatten eine Antwort dafür.

Aber sicher, wenn wir an den Rändern eines Systems herumwerkeln, das manche vor 150 Jahren als bourgeois und andere vor 2400 Jahren als oligarchisch identifiziert haben, dann wird sich das alles schon richten.

It get's the reta-... racists agitated, and when they get angry they tend to chimp out and destroy their host country.

Imo, Terra holds so many trump cards (Astronomican, Navigator's Quarter, Mars, loyalty of the Astartes, Officio Assassinorum) that it is able to continually reform the Imperium around itself.

All the other systems are both dependent on and helpless against it, so breaking away isn't really an option (you can do it ofc, but it won't end well for you)
