Re: What is known from the words of CA?
Hey, I noticed some of those sources are a few months old now so I thought I'd jump in here just to confirm that all of this still holds up.
There are still only Lord Packs coming for W2 and Grace's statement on the pre-order bonus also still rings true.
hopefully this helps a little

Nurgle Chaos Warrior, Warhammer 3
Hi guys, I'm Cesede, a few days ago I published on my Artstation an illustration of a mutant chaos warrior of Nurgle.
This is my last fan art commission about total war Warhammer 3. I know that some of my artworks have been shared here in mods and other resources so I want to share with you this putrid leader too.

I don't know how we are going to play Warriors of chaos in the third tittle I hope we can see a good rework of WoC in the next game.
I hope you like it!

It's official. Warhammer has killed historical TW for me.
I love the 3K setting. The characters, the intrigue, the battles. I've played a plethora of video games about it. Watched movies, the TV series (amazing btw, a must watch).
But the game is... eh. Little annoying bugs and utterly bizarre design choices like playing as Liu Bei and not being able to use or recruit his 5 tigers generals. Battlefields going back to R2 era boring of one big rolling hill. Rivers crossings being little creeks that offer little to no tactical diversity. Heroes being more OP than in Warhammer with less counters. A duelling system that says "you will win" but your general gets two shot.
Now, I mention all this not to rant, but to compare.
Warhammer has annoying siege tower bugs. A tedious endgame Allies that are more of a hindrance than help. Bad diplomacy in general. As well as many other things you could nitpick.
You know how S2 got away with a historically limited roster? Battle maps that were meaningful and interesting, not just rolling hills with a bush. Hills and cliffs were artificial looking, but they were damn good for gameplay and you had to think on your feet about how you were going to deal with the battlefield.
But you know the difference? When I get the single most boring battlemap in the game. You know the one, in the mountains that just a flat white box with two trees and 3ft hill on the left.
The battles are still fun BECAUSE of the Warhammer element.
I might be playing TK and trying to micro chariots around Greenskin hordes as my constructs barrel into Black Orks. I might be Skaven and have Queek and his merry ratties fighting 3 stacks of Dwarfs by himself with Warp Lightning, Magic, Green Fire and Backstabbing glory all at my disposal to turn a really difficult battle into a relatively easy crushing of my enemies.
3K doesn't have this. There's no Bolt Throwers or Cannons to counter Grimgor. No wind of death to annihilate a battle line. No Empire Gunlines camping a bridge in Kislev to rip fire through stack after stack of Archaons lackeys.
So the campaign is better. Well you know what? The campaign isn't the cream of total war, the battles are. The campaign matters, it gives those battles context, it makes those battles matter.
I have 1202 hours in WH2, 1059 in WH1 and 59 in 3K. I haven't even finish a campaign and I certainly wont buy a campaign DLC for a game I don't even have a desire to turn on. This is the first time since R2 that I'm not even considering a DLC post-launch of a major title.
So a Warning to CA, Warhammer let you get away with shortcuts and poor decisions in game design because it's Warhammer and awesome. 3K hasn't. Don't mistake the success of 3K for it being a fantastic game. You've just appealed to a market.
You still have much improvement that needs to happen before your next historical title. Don't lose sight on what makes TW games good, because with 3K you missed the mark.

Why are there even community managers on these forums ?
They are not answering to anything here. We never see @CA_Ella unless there is something to announce and @Grace_CA is only answering on Reddit or Twitter and most of the times it's about memes or 3K for now.
I understand why you are focusing on 3K, it's been released recently and it's your new game, that seems perfectly normal to focus on it. But it doesn't mean that you have to litterally ignore ANYTHING about Warhammer. Why does CA is able to focus only on one game, is that too much to ask to have answers about things that are asked a lot around here ? There have been countless topics about the FLC chart, the beta (we were supposed to have news about it, remember ?) and even some problems or bugs and yet, every one of these topics have been completely ignored.
Even if you have to bring bad news, it'd be great you answer. Even if that's "we heard you we'll talk about it later/ we have nothing to say" would be good. Is that really too hard ?
And I remember a topic where someone from CA was saying that they are looking into improving the communication, it's been months and there are not a single result. Did you forget about that ? Are you even still working on that ?
I understand that CA can't answer to everything for obvious reasons (like when someone is asking about new content) but being completely ignored again and again about some topics is extremely frustrating.

Mousillon would work so well as a bretonnian faction
With the renewed hope of a (maybe) playable Mousillon, I keep remembering the comment someone posted a few months ago on this forum about making it a hybrid bretonnian/undead instead of undead/bretonnian.
Namely, make the faction bretonnian while being able to recruit some VC units. The main advantage of this is that it bypass the main critic of the VC having too many playable lords, so moving Mousillon to being a sub-faction to Bretonnia would actually be reasonable - even more so considering that Bretonnia could use a new lord.
It also makes sense withing the lore: both the Red Duke and Mallobaude used peasants and disgraced knights within their armies, and during the setting of the game Mousillon is not yet openly a vampire den, it's still mostly mutants and bandits and corrupted nobles - mostly humans, with vampires in the background.
It would also be the first "true" hybrid faction. Here's what I would do:
- replace the damsels and prophetesses with necromancers and master necromancers
- replace the high tier knights with their undead counterparts
- replace chivalry with villainy (gained by sacking, raiding and doing other mean things)
- vows gained by doing mean things (ending by drinking from the black grail)
- maybe let the necromancers keep "raise dead" as the main mean of recruiting undead units (great synergy with letting your peasants die en masse)
- maybe a unique building to recruit crypt ghouls and crypt horrors
- no green knight and blessing of the lady
- final battle being the climax of the bretonnian civil war against Leoncoeur, the Fay and Alberic
What would you think if CA did something like this? It sure would be a massive curveball, but I can see only benefits, personally.
