Suggestion Box

1: Total War is about massive battles. 2: Even on the smallest battle size you can't have 1 man units or the game crashes.
3: Can't say I like the idea anyway.

I expect you know this already, but I might as well suggest it on the vague chance that you don't. Total War requires alot of neutral, or rather, rebel villages and towns to conquer at the beginning of the game. This allows expansion early on, and keeps you growing at a slower pace so you don't gain hold of the strongest units from the start (which is only a good thing in my mind).

Warhammer lends wonderfully to 'rebels' at the start, since the world is flexible enough on the tabletop to allow the same faction to fight each other. And since we rarely ever hear of such minor rebellions, or disputes, we can legitimately allow rebels by each of the lands. Empire, Brettonians, Chaos, Skaven, and Orcs can easily have numerous rebel states beside them or within the territories shown on the tabletop maps. Even High Elves and Dark Elves could have that.

So my suggestion is to have a good deal of rebels for you to conquer, especially in places that I mentioned. It would slow down the pace of the game, which people have already discussed, make it feel more like Total War, and lets you get to grips with conquering without having to be forced to start a conflict at the beginning with another faction.


But I'm sure you all thought that already.

The Rebels idea has kinda already been thought of, not so much in the Empire though but say for instance the Chaos factions will be knocking the snot out of each other as all but your race of Norse is rebel.

Even the Empire could be part rebel, making the player uniting the different counts and princes under his banner, before turning his attention towards the other factions.

I am pretty sure only Sylvania had Counts crazy enough to go to war with the Empire.
Not to mention the whole point of the Empire is that it is meant to stand as one, against all the foes that your pretty sure to be attacked by pretty quickly into the game.

Marienburg is independent but it was before part of the Empire. That city and Mordheim are the only imperial rebel cities.

I am pretty sure I heard someone say on another topic that Mordhiem doesn't exist in the current Warhammer timeframe.
