this might be the first total war I do not buy unless modders can fix this. Thank you guys for the responses and I need to wait for the Dev interview on it for me to make a final decision but not being able to occupy HUMAN lands as a DWARF is maddening. I can maybe understand undead but still you would strive to rebuild the land and hope the nature grows back too.. Why would a Dwarf occupy some Orc tribal town but be forced to destroy a giant stone fortress that was built by the Empire. This design decision does not make sense to me so maybe I need to wait for the Dev response.
Lordinvicus I can understand the point... maybe making the game more dynamic.. so you defend your land as the Empire for X amount of years, get the guts to raise an army and invade the orcs.. you destroy everything you can and go back home. Years go by, you fight wars with separatists, defend against vampire counts.. then out of the wastelands rise another orc army.. makes for a never ending game... HOWEVER what if you as the empire want to colonize orc lands? colonize dwarf cities (Like in Skyrim Marakarth or whatever... the Nords loved living in that thing)... we just.. can't? seems like a design flaw... this a storyline game or a total war game?
