What in the fuck are those starting positions?
>Ku'Gath in the Dragon Isles, which would've been perfect for the Blessed Dread
>Kairos in the fucking southlands instead of remaining in cathay
>Skarbrand near Tomb Kings which means he will absolutely wreck their crap skelly stacks
>N'Kari starting ON Ulthuan meaning you get your shit pushed in instantly
>Demon Prince only Chaos thing in the wastes so far
>Golden Order still only 2 provinces from main empire
wtf
Wonder where Wulfrik will start. Lorewise you could stick him anywhere. Norsca actually makes the least sense since he is supposed to be cursed to wander around and taunt champions around the globe with their native tongues.
How else would you have it? Let's hear it.
>N'Kari to the Shard Lands, give him a way to build a good powerbase while infiltrating Ulthuan via cults
>Ku'Gath to Bretonnia
>Kairos back to eastern Cathay to give them a serious threat
>Lokhir into the dragon isles, give him a powerbase there with the Eastern Colonies and take sealanes or the Great Canal to raid Cathay
>Skarbrand into Badlands to slug it out with Greenskins or Southern Waste to kill beastmen to prove to Khorne that he's worthy
>Gelt literally anywhere but Pfeildorf, maybe an expidition into the darklands
sounds like shit
Norsca makes sense for y'know Norsca, good staging point maybe near Kislev
they probably didnt want to cram all 5 chaos lords in the north. N'kari and kugath seemed fucked though
still better than the default, playing TK with Skarbrand and Grim down there will be a fucking slog
N'kari especially. Prolly gonna start at war with one major HE faction + anti player bias
Also I wonder which faction will get the powercreep dev wankery this time, knowing CA it'll probably be the Skaven again
Why? Got a better idea?
is the southern wastes a completely new area added in IE? I dont remember that at all in the previous games
Why the fuck would Lokhir start in the dragon isles when they've expressly fucking said he's starting on Cathay's east coast?
ye, in Lore it's completely saturated with Beastmen
kek what the FUCK
>Australia full of furry niggers
Pottery
Would've given him a somewhat safe base good first expansion in the eastern colonies, fits his pirate/raider image and he would've had easy access to Cathay via the Sealanes and the River in the south
Just plopping him on the east cost of Cathay is kinda lazy imo
>while infiltrating Ulthuan via cults
Except N'kari doesn't do that, he outright invades because he wants to spill the blood of Aenarion. Beyond that you now have him having to deal with dark elves, norscans, and other daemons more than HElfs unless they sail up to fight you.
>Ku'gath
Ah yes, n'kari will get fucked by starting on Ulthuan but sticking Ku'gath, the far worse faction, in Mousillon, definitely won't fuck him over hard with Louen breathing down his neck.
>Lokhir
Is starting on Cathay's east coast. If anyone's going to the dragon isles its going to stay Malus or be Nakai.
>Kairos
Needs more context before rendering judgement, someone far more interesting could start above cathay in the eastern steppe though he should at least start in the Southern Wastes rather than the southlands itself.
>Skarbrand
He's already in the badlands
>Gelt
What is with you people wanting to move gelt? Gelt is fine where he is. Yes, being 2 provinces away makes for an entirely unique experience has he now has immediate access to the Southern Realms and vampires then into the badlands and world's edge while Karl has to deal with all the bullshit now sailing around his western coast. Where would you even move him to and don't give stupid fucking meme answers like Estalia.
Australia would be the lost isles of elithis or whatever and that shit is clean.
He should start in ind since that’s where he gets his sword
Except the dragon isles is so far away from that sea lane it would be easier to trek upwards through the land route to collect slaves along the way which makes him fight rats and greenskins and ogres more than his actual targets of Cathayans. The dragon isles only make sense if Ind gets added.
