      Further perspective: The Chaos Dwarfs reside right in the middle of the Dark Lands, with one big capital and a few outposts in comparison to their nicer cousins. It's quite likely they have a lower population that Dwarfs, though the latter are spread out much more. Still, it's not Chaos Dwarfs that we're constantly told are in irreversible decline and just about wiped out for good, even while most of the Greenskin threat for the Dwarfs is spread out enough to often be troubling anyone else as much or more. Whatever the Chaos Dwarfs are doing, it's working. Maybe they are the one thing that Greenskins truly fear, that'd make some sense and at least isn't the level of plot armour of most other evil factions.

      Considering Nippon's old lore, it would be like a Total War Shogun 2 faction - but with Shaolin Monks and some tame Chaos or Chaos-adjacent stuff. The old lore named two deities - Orange Simca (which seems to be inspired by Inari) and Tzeentch, so perhaps they would have a system similar to Cathay's Ying-Yang dynamic, but instead will be balancing Order (Simca) and Chaos (Tzeentch).

      40k and Fantasy are different universes that are still linked via the realm of Chaos / Immaterium. It was confirmed a few years ago in a White Dwarf magazine but had always hinted at it in old lore stories. The incongruities in the origins of the Chaos gods between both settings was hand waved because time and space is both shifting and malleable within the warp.
      The magazine specifically used the birth of Slaanesh as an example. The Dark Prince could have existed in another form in a distant universe prior to being birthed by the Aeldari.

      The Heroes Chronicles series, which were basically expandalones for HoMM 3, ended with a clash between two heroes wielding really powerful swords; one with the Sword of Frost, the other with Armageddon's Blade. The two blades clashed and basically caused Armageddon, rendering Enroth uninhabitable.
      The survivors were able to travel to a new world, Axeoth, which is where HoMM 4 takes place. While it wasn't as radical a shift as going from the high dark fantasy of the Old World to the interdimensional space-opera of the Mortal Realms, it was still an unwelcome change
      Though truth be told, the death of Enroth in favour of some other world was the least of Might & Magic's troubles. 3DO was on the way out, HoMM 4's development was kinda troubled, and while Ubisoft ended up doing stuff with the franchise for a while, now the IP languishes in their nefarious clutches.
      We can only hope that Ubisoft pulls a Squenix and sells off the Might & Magic IP for crypto money.

      Indeed anonymous mind... Indeed. I personally don't have to suffer the end times because I subscribe to the "age of reckoning" timeline, in which the EMPIRE, Bretonnia, kislev, karaz-ankor, ulthuan and athel-loren bury the hatchet thanks to the brains of Karl Franz, Thorgrim Grudgebearer, and Finubar not suffering from massive brain dinosaurs, and they all team up to save the world from Archeon. "Age of reckoning" is like the primaris update to 40k, with the world teetering on the edge, but not dead, and with REAL hope of saving the world, without adding "ground marines" or something like that to fantasy battles. (Mind you this is all my silly opinions, and I DO actually KINDA like Aos, but it will never compare to fantasy, nor do I care for the fact that gw KILLED the old world to make aos. I personally choose to see it as an alternative time-line, whereas I choose my main direction as "Age of Reckoning". Thats all. :)

      @@Sara3346 I wouldn't really say she was wise, merely blessed/cursed with seeing the future. Worse, she concluded millennia earlier that the world was ultimately doomed and really didn't do anything to stop it. At best she helped slow down the End Times so her own scheme of saving SOME of souls of the Elves could be achieved and at worst, she helped it happen, at least along lines she wanted for said plan. She only truly helped once that goal was achieved, allowing herself to be sacrificed by Teclis in a grand spell that would teleport the Incarnates and their armies to Middenheim.
      Hell, for all the flak Teclis gets for his actions in the End Times as he Lileath's disciple and carried out many unpleasant acts for that plan, he believed that the future could be changed and carried out his own plans to give them a chance at saving the world. Lileath was driven by the absolute certainty of the future while Teclis was driven by the hope that the future wasn't written in stone.
      At very end of the World-That-Was, Alarielle even laments that had Lileath truly understood what the Incarnates had become and the power of the Old One Device Archaon used, things could have been different.

    @gabeschugardt5710 Год назад +2

    A bit of info that contextualizes the Warhammer Fantasy world and caused me to see it in a new light: in 40K (I know the settings aren't technically linked, but they're made by the same people with the same ideas), the presence of a chaos gate on a planet effectively marks a world for death. Not even the most diehard factions of the Imperium will fight on such a world - it is an already lost cause, and the most they might do for it is try to blow the whole thing up as they pass it by, just in case doing so might slow down the spread of chaos from the planet.
    The world of Warhammer Fantasy has two chaos gates, and the people living on it are still alive. Not only are they successfully fighting back against chaos, but they are so successful at it that they have time to fight each other as well. It is entirely possible for a person living in this world to go through their entire lives without ever encountering even a significant trace of chaos, on a planet that should by all accounts probably be floating in the Warp right now.
    The factions in Warhammer Fantasy are fucking badass. They might not have the incalculable scale of factions from 40k, but given what they have to work with their feats put the armies of the Imperium to shame.

    • @angryzergling7832
      @angryzergling7832 Год назад +7

      That's why decades ago when I first heard of the setting I never looked any further into it. I just figured it was a combination of medieval history + Tolkien + every single fantasy trope ever mushed together in a parody and taking place in a setting they were too lazy to even bother disguising.
      I was totally wrong and Warhammer has some of the best and well-formed lore I've seen in a fantasy setting, but from the time I was a wee lad up until a couple of years ago I still thought it was a tongue-in-cheek parody of fantasy in general. Do not let the fact the geography mirrors our own make ya think the lore is gonna be lazy and dismiss it before even giving it a chance like I had 'cause you'll be missing some really good stuff.

      Warhammer World is dangerous, yet beautiful, that much is true. But unlike the Witcher or Game of Throes and other modern Sartre-isms where people are monsters etc ; Warhammer Fantasy is and should remain different.
      It is dark, dangerous and beautiful so it could give you a better setting for adventures, to make you fight for something. Unlike horrible, modern dark fantasy which is both ugly and filled with monsters, you have no anchor! It's stupid. Warhammer Fantasy is not.
      Or at least was not, it was severely mishandled in 6th-7th era imo. Herohammer ftw!

    Warhammer Fantasy is simultaneously one of the most creative and creatively bankrupt settings in all of fiction. As great as many of the factions are, it’s impossible to deny that pretty much all of the human nations are just copied and pasted from real world history and the map itself is just our own world drawn really really badly (with elf Atlantis/Numenor).
