The issue that CA has is that the engine was never designed for flying units, has number of physics rules to ensure believable collisions & object behaviours, a bunch of weird exceptions to allow flying units, and that chariots have a subset of rules about how the animals/chariot/crew all interact with each other and the world physics. The reason it took so long (according to a streamer who frequently talks with CA's dev team) was because they needed to rebuild the entire process of calculating AI decision making, rebuild the various event checks process, streamline how individual factions are managed without losing the auto-resolve balance, and lastly ensure that its built rugged for both modded-in content (believe it or not but CA actually cares about the modding community) while also being able to handle future expansion.Īccording to the streamer, CA's devs said post-Potion Of Speed the new system "can take double the map area and double the factions with an increase of only around 40% on top of the new loading times".Īnother example is the absence of the Lothern Skycutter, a flying high elf chariot that is basically a scourge runner pulled by a giant eagle Swiftfeather Roc. From a technical & design standpoint, warhammer has been good because its challenged them to change and revisit their ideas that were pretty similar to back in 2004 with Rome 1.įor example remember the End-Turn times prior to the Potion of Speed update, what a lot of people on this sub didn't understand back then is that CA had been aware for some time about this technical debt issue as far back as Vampire Coast. TBH CA has been following specific paradigms for programming the base code of their engine, and designing the concepts for their game mechanics that's been less than stellar in recent years since they started the warhammer games. Its possible they choose to reverse that decision at a later date, but as it stands the game is officially abandoned It was clearly stated there would be no more support for the game, including simple bug patches and that its sequel would have zero relation to the first ![]() Either that or the Chaos Dawi getting more of a focus and included at launch, rather than becoming a DLC, as either decision would have tapped into a market CA has complete faith in, while Cathay would have been riskier if China didnt prove their interest in Chinese themed total war elements with 3KĪlso they literally said they were dropping 3K entirely. If 3K had completely bombed its significantly less likely CA would have done Cathay on launch, they may have released DLC for it later on, but the base game would probably have more work put into the Daemons with possibly 2 LLs per faction rather than the one. But its pretty safe to say CA saw the success of 3K and that had heavy influence on their decision to include a Chinese themed faction to tap into the same demographic 3K hit. Think we missed one?
