So since I don't recall reading it here: the new mortal empires camapign is expected to come out in august.
In other news: I had never played tww1, bought it in sale to get ME in tww2, where I spent most of my camapigns so far. In orderI played:
dwarves
lizardmen
imrik
tomb kings
khislev
ogres
Everytime I tried to play tww1 I went for repanse de lyonesse because I like myself a good mage as main lord, mazamundi was such fun... I launched that campaign like 3-4 times over the years, could never get into tww1. Recently I started a camapaign as vampire counts, and it has been pretty fun eventhough I like ranged units a lot.
Anyway tww1 is so super relaxing after playing 2 tww3 campaigns, much less harassment, way simpler politics, I kinda like the division between keeps and holds, I wouldn't want it in every campaign but it decellerates and simplifies tww1 even more. Quite fond of the final product as I said it's a much more laid back tww experience.
I'm doing something fun in my vampire count camapign, I was a little cheeky in the beginning to get the whole zone between the mountains, once I had all the territory I did not attack a single order faction ever again, now I'm allied with the dwarves, karak hirn, clan angul, the border princes and the empire. I'm gonna unite all order forces around me (maybe we will have to be against the wood elves and bretagne, but with some luck I might just continue to unite every order faction around me, through the power of gifts, liked your war with chaos, and liked your treaties with x).
Also I found out that in this game you can actually beat chaos and trigger an age of peace notification. Just perfect. I might never play a tww1 campaign again but this was a lot of fun.
Also what the heck is up with border princes: like half the names point towards my IRL location, the hearth of the "old occident": Akenberg, Masserschloss, Munzig, Lichtenburg... Yet it's a arid place that shares little climatological commonalities with it's name inspirations. I feel like I'm mssing a joke somewhere.
