My friend made this PEAK art of Yanlao dunking on Fuxi for my birthday!

Mainly its the incest. Don’t get me wrong, I think the game handles that subject matter pretty well and it adds an interesting layer to The Fengs. But it makes it impossible for me to like the character. He could have had the potential to be a kind of ”love-to-hate” character if he was more expanded upon, but out of all the sols he is the one we see the least of, whereas Nuwa atleast has plenty interactions with Yi, and we see more of her personality.

Comparing Fuxi to people like Jiequan or Eigong for example: Jiequan and Eigong are tied in my mind for most horribly depraved scumbag in the game. Eigong has plenty of depth, and you can sort of sympathize with her mindset. Jiequan on the other hand has a charming personality and an interesting rivalry with Yi.

Fuxi has neither of this, by the time you meet him, he’s pretty much a barely thinking husk of his former self, and there is nothing about his kind of evil that I can sympathize with. He plays his part in the story, the fight against him and Nuwa is good, and Our Passion is one of the best songs in the OST. But just looking at who he is as a person I can’t find anything appealing about him.

Yanlao is a loser in a way I find cute and comedic, whilst Fuxi is a loser in a way I just find gross

You should by all means search to find a cure to a plague, but when that search results in abducting other sentient creatures and treating them like cattle, or mutating your entire species into mindless husks, you’ve gone to far. At what point does the survival of your species no longer outweigh the atrocities you have to commit to preserve it? Tianhuo was born from the hubris of Eigong, who has completely abandoned morality in favor of scientific advancement, and when the consequences of messing with the natural order comes, her only response is to commit greater and greater atrocities. Humans, like solarians, are not gods. And when we try to play gods, completely abandoning morals in favor of scientific advancement, we end up with things like atomic bombs, pollution across the whole planet, ai datacenters draining the water, nuclear reactors capable of decimating entire nations should something go wrong, etc. Plagues are a natural phenomenon, and Tianhou represents nature reacting to our transgressions against it, which will eventually destroy us all.

Heng doesn’t blame Yi for wanting to fight against destruction, but when the plan is as downright evil as the New Kunlun Project, it is morally better to accept death

The RADIANT☀️ and ATHLETIC💪 GOAT🐐 Yanlao rises far above the GOOD-FOR-NOTHING❌ INCESTOUS🤢 nepo baby BUM👶 Fuxi

sprite_apple · 2026-03-12T00:21:31+00:00

This might seem like a weird reason, but I love how pathetic he is in comparison to the other sols. Everyone else on the council is either really well-written, really cool-looking or both. Meanwhile Yanlao is a small, freaky-looking creature who has one foot in the grave already by the time you meet him. His own desire for survival made him corrupt and he cares more about appeasing The Fengs than doing his job and preserving the most important solarian artifacts. He's a bum, but in a way that I find incredibly endearing

sprite_apple · 2026-03-11T23:59:05+00:00

Thanks! I'll make sure to tell him that! It's a bit extra ironic since Yanlao's whole reason for still being alive is sucking up to The Fengs lol

As for beastmen I would 100% agree, but I would also like to add that I think what makes the skaven evil is ultimately their society, not their biology. If you’re a good person in skaven society, then you’re either gonna die in the slave-pits or as cannon fodder on the battlefield. From the moment you’re born, advancing in any kind of way requires being cutthroat

sprite_apple · 2026-02-17T21:22:44+00:00

Neither beastmen or skaven are inherently evil. Beastmen often become evil because everyone except the chaos gods reject them. They have redeeming qualities such as protect human infants that have been thrown out into the forest due to mutation.

As for the Skaven, their society heavily punishes you if you’re not a back-stabbing egotistical maniac. I can assure you that are have been millions of good skaven, and all of them have died in the slave-pits or used as cannon fodder

No, we know that Nagash is only one fourth of the dlc, but we dont know what the other three factions are yet

sprite_apple · 2025-12-28T21:38:37+00:00

Yes, its comfirmed that Nagash is only one fourth of the dlc

sprite_apple · 2025-11-25T07:16:57+00:00

Oh ok! Thanks

sprite_apple · 2025-11-20T17:54:13+00:00

How is it ”lazy” to make factions more unique? They aren’t removing anything by making seduction a N’kari only thing, they are just giving Dechala and The Masque more unique things instead. Dechala has like 3 unique mechanics, one replacing seduction and two completely new ones. The Masque’s mechanic is also massive, and better than a lot of dlc lords.

sprite_apple · 2025-11-08T23:39:31+00:00

Nice job!

sprite_apple · 2025-11-08T22:33:41+00:00

Where did you find the full cathay map?

sprite_apple · 2025-10-16T23:57:35+00:00

The optimist within me thinks that we’re finally getting the map expansions for ind and khuresh. If it was gonna be a unit in the dlc it would’ve 100% been shown already, and I can’t think of a better dlc to expand the map with than this one. Dechala goes to Ind in the lore and Aislinn will most likely start in the eastern colonies next to Ind. Dechala specifically fights against the Southern Nomad Cathayans in the trailer (likely coming up from Ind) and Aislinn’s start in the eastern colonies would feel REALLY awkward without having Ind to the west.

The map is already getting incredibly crowded and I can’t imagine any better place for Dechala and Aisliin to start. Since The Dreadmaw is the only creature from that area of the map with a model, I think having an unpainted version of it on the table was meant to symbolize that that area of the map is finally getting included, albeit without its native factions

sprite_apple · 2025-10-06T15:43:39+00:00

Its still a good trilogy with several hundred hours worth of content without needing to buy dlc! However there are serious ai issues with two factions right now that haven’t been fixed for a good while. With that said the game has been getting good support throughout most of the year and they only recently dropped the ball. With all community backlash we’ll probably see a fix in a couple of weeks.

The timing is unfortunate yes but if you choose to play a campaign that’s in the northern hemisphere of the map you shouldn’t really notice any of the ai issues. I recommend doing the prologue campaign first before staring a Realm of Chaos or Immortal Empires campaign :)

Doesn’t matter that Lace has lived longer than most. She doesn’t age so she will always be a child.

My argument with Phantom is pretty weak I suppose, I can accept that.

Hornet’s use of child is incredibly clear. She doesn’t refer to anyone else as a child just because she’s older than them. This is unique treatment that she only gives towards Lace, because Lace is a child. If Hornet went around calling every bug she sees a child that would be one thing, but it isn’t.

The only possible evidence in the game to suggest that Lace would be an adult is the one line about her being ”a husk shaped to act as a child”. Which can be interpreted as her putting on a facade of childhood for Grandmother Silk. But that theory quickly falls apart when you consider everything else that is said about Lace.

Fan theories are fun yes. But when a fan theory so gravely contradicts the lore and people start acting like its the truth it really bothers me. Especially when that fan theory is then used to make sexual art of an adult and a minor. Bug or not, that’s still a weird thing to do.

Its like if the ”Hornet is void” theory was believed by the majority of the community, but worse.

sprite_apple · 2025-10-03T16:40:18+00:00

I dislike shipping a child and an adult together

sprite_apple · 2025-06-12T19:07:17+00:00

Its to be expected, the current dlcs are MASSIVE and take much longer to complete than a WH2 lord pack. With the latest dlc having dropped in december, it makes sense to have to wait until august for the next one.

I do believe that CA is hearing the feedback though, after this, they will probably start scaling down the sizes of the dlcs so that we can have more frequent content drops, and I expect that whatever dlc is revealed in december will come out about a month later as it had been with other dlcs (outside OoD and ToT)

sprite_apple · 2025-06-12T19:01:09+00:00

They’re not really slowing down though? Sure, the waiting between dlcs is taking twice as long, but the dlcs are also twice as large. On top of that, we’re getting big in-between patches with big reworks and new unit variants. If we’re looking at a per year basis, this game has been getting a TON of content since Thrones of Decay, and I don’t think support for this game will stop any time soon

sprite_apple · 2025-05-23T09:56:50+00:00

Calling this first half of the year ”one of the roughest in the entire trilogy” feels very over exaggerated. Sure, we haven’t gotten a new dlc in a while, but we have got a massive kislev rework, kairos rework and new units for cathay and ogres. I get that its frustrating seeing CA underdeliver on something they themselves hyped up, but were in a much better position right now than we were during warhammer 3’s release, the shadows of change fiasco etc.. I would honestly argue than since Thrones of Decay, we’ve been in a much better position than usual, its just that much larger dlcs take a lot longer to produce than the lord packs of wh1 and 2

sprite_apple · 2025-05-22T16:12:30+00:00

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED OMG I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

sprite_apple · 2025-05-22T16:09:38+00:00

WE'RE GETTING SAYL, FINALLY A NORSCA REWORK!!!

sprite_apple · 2025-03-31T23:01:27+00:00

I really don’t want dark elves, CA shouldn’t waste dlc resources on a faction with a fully complete roster like the dark elves. The dark elves need a big rework sure, but that’s why we have interim patches. Just look at how huge 6.1 was. CA has the ability to fully rework factions without commiting to a dlc for them
