Seen a lot of hate here, and I'm interested in playing it.

Is Napoleon a decent substitute?
>>
>>140780590
They say Empire has the better campaign and Napoleon has the better battle play.

I enjoyed what Empire I did play, but then I have a boner for the Georgian era.

I suspect people just didn't like the change from the melee based gameplay they were used to.
>>
>>140780590

Empire has a grander campaign with it being probably the largest of any total war

Napoleon is just set in europe but the actual battle mechanics are alot tighter and better
>>
>>140780590
Like he said>>140780807 Napoleon has no real grand campaign and you'll find yourself getting bored of it even though it has better mechanics.

Just get DarthMod for Empire and have fun the game is fine, people like to hate, man.

RE-POSTAN FOR MORE DISCUSSION

CA wants your opinion on the next historical TW game setting. They have already decided to wait on Medieval 3, so it isn't an immediate option.

They offer you some popular suggestions and ask for your take on which you feel would be the most successful and why. These popular suggestions include:
>Total War: Three Kingdoms
>Total War: Warring States
>Total War: Renaissance
>Total War: Empire II
>Total War: Kahnate
>Total War: Victoria
>Total War: Tribalism

You can also offer your own, unique take on a new total war game.

What do you do?
>>
>>140785489
Victoria. Include a few non-Euro countries that can modernize and eventually dominate the map, like China or Ethiopia.
>>
>>140785489
Last thread, it seemed like Victoria and Empire 2 were the most popular choices with a Chinese TW coming in 2nd place.
>>
>>140785697
Has anyone made a straw poll?
>>
>>140785489
>Tribalism
Like, man, that's really vague. Native Americans? African tribes prior to the Scramble for Africa? Proto-European tribes?
>>
>>140785489
Shogun 3
>>
>>140785881
European tribals before the black man arrived and gave them knowledge.
>>
>>140785989
Ah yes. The ancient story of Romulus and Jamal.
>>
>>140785738
Not that I've seen.

>>140785881
>>140785989
It is too vague honestly, I had initially meant African tribes but a game focused on Native Americans (both North and South American tribes) could be interesting.
>>
>>140786125
Romulus was the name of an ancient Sub-Saharan African. Jamal was part of the "Romani" Tribe in Italy. Romulus did his best to give Jamal knowledge of architecture, art, military tactics, and language. Jamal killed Romulus later, stabbing him in the back, just like how all white men stab black men in the back after using them. After this, Jamal took the name "Romulus" and spread the knowledge to the other "Romani" that the name Jamal, and names like it, were for Africans.

Hey, just bought fots. I'm playing satsuma for the first campaign, should I be attacking Imperial clans on Kyushu once the shogun guys are ded?

The Choshu grabbed some provinces and I don't know if I should attack them. Is there realm divide in fots, or is it more like your allegiance has to fight off the other guys, republic seems like vanilla realm divide

>>
>>140786795
Seems to be the general consensus anyways. Most people want Victoria or Empire 2 next but would be equally content with Renaissance.

If that isn't possible for some reason, people would also accept a Chinese-based Total War but seemingly only as a fallback or just-in-case secondary option.

No one seems to give a shit about Tribalism because it would have the least (if any) documented history about it to go on. It also wouldn't necessarily have "formations" in the same way a regular total war game would so it may even be too different from the spirit of the gameplay to try.

Most alternative suggestions have been shit or fallen within a timeline that could be included in the other games.
>>
>>140787516
You have still given zero indication as to what you're referring to when you say "tribalism".
>>
>>140787596
see
>>140786135
I initially meant it as an African Tribes forming into Kingdoms kind of game. CA would likely be able to re-use a lot of assets from Attila.

What kind of idiot conquers Kyoto before even having the realm divide?
7 provinces is way too few to cause a realm divide, especially as ikko ikki.
You should incite revolts and then conquer a province, rebel provinces dont give much Fame.
You also better let your towns accumulate towngrowth before doing shit.

103KB, 1280x905px
Who should be the first major DLC faction release (aside from Bretonnia's campaign to make them complete, obviously) once Warhammer drops, /twg/?

My vote is for Skaven.

I have a suspicion it is going to be Wood Elves though just because of proximity to the rest of the factions and to shut the "b-but where are the elves?!" people the fuck up.
>>
>>140788456

Pontus

Why do Chaos Warriors get 3 Legendary Lord choices while everyone else only gets 2?

Shouldn't they just make it 3 for everyone to start with?
>>
>>140788456
It'll almost certainly be the Woodelves.
I don't feel the Skaven should appear to early on.
Should have the entire map available before the most threatening faction appears. The fact that the provinces are really large and bland down there also argues against their immediate inclusion.
>>
>>140788456
Is this official or fan art?
>>
>>140788781
I believe Chaos were planned to be DLC but they brought it forward to be part of the release. I think they want 3 for everyone, and plan to allow for this through their free updates.

So the model would be everyone with 2, everyone updated up to 3; Chaos appears also with 3. But that went out of order along the way.
It isn't really an issue.

>>140788897
It's obviously fan art. Great horned rat has very distinct red eyes, warpstone glow doesn't change this.

Who do you think the 3rd Legendary Lord will be for Empire, Dwarfs, Orks, and VC? Also for that matter who will the 2nd and 3rd LL for Brettonia be?

My guess is one of Brettonia's LL will be Morgiana Le Fay.

The rest I'm not sure though, I mean Konrad Von Carstein is already dead by the time the game takes place, yea?
>>
>>140789790
I believe they will take some liberties with the chronology, it isn't the End Times simulator; could have Konrad.

I feel that we'll probably get Valten for Empire, not sure about Orcs or VC. And I'll be damned if I ever pay any shred of attention to the manlets.

Empire would have been good if it had been developed for a year longer than it was.

Everything is there for a good TW game, it's just that the game had zero polish to it.

Also, these are my main gripes:
> a whole countries represented by a single region
> naval combat doesn't really have a purpose
> towns don't grow
> too many pre-existing empires
> no slavery mechanics
> combat is ridiculously unresponsive
> melee combat is shit
> fortress battles are shit
> 7 years later and the game still runs poorly due to optimisation problems

I don't want it just because it'd completely break the game even worse than TW AI does, you can easily kite and slaughter entire regiments by yourself if you have a horse and a couchable lance or throwing axes.

>>140799317
And there are people who play Korean MMOs. If grinding down regiments yourself is how you want to play I don't see a problem with it. I think it would be cool to see battles of that size with the warband type AIs. As long as you can fluidly move and make formations like in TW it could be fun.

Are lakmids the worst starting faction?
I dont meen hardest, im guessing WRE are the hardest. but lakmids seem like they are the worst.
Subsidized peace gives me 500 gold per turn while im at peace with the sassanids. oh wait the sassinids go from being very friendly to declaring war on me for no reason a few turns into the game? I dont get it, im trying to be peaceful to everyone, not even attacking anyone but they all gang up on me randomly. what am i supposed to to give gifts to everyone to keep on their good sides?
I cant even convert to sassanids religion before they smite me down for no reason.

Giving enough gifts until you can establish trade and or a non agression pact, followed by a defensive alliance possibly. The AI will often make you pay for mutually beneficial agreements, so just haggle right back whenever they ask you for something

You say that as if some acrobat throwing smoke bombs isn't fucking stupid.

IRL ninjas were just typical spies and assassins. The image of some guy with superhuman agility and stealth in a totally-not-conspicuous garb dashing and flipping around courtyards and castles, killing his target with alerting a soul, and dashing and flipping right back out is just a cool fantasy that somebody thought up.

Why the garb and acrobatics? Because someone who's dressed as a gardener isn't as cool.

>The garb is supposed to be used during the night so its not really far stretched that it was used
Ninja garb in media is almost entirely based on the garb of stagehands from theaters, real ninja's would've worn attire suited to their mission, dressing up like a peasant or a minor lord or some such.

>And most likely some ninjas did infiltrate a couple of castles to kill enemy lords
They did, but this was usually done through disguise and deception. It's a lot easier to kill some lord by pretending to be his chef and poisoning his food, than to scale a castle, avoid a ton of guards, then stab him to death with a sword, then try to escape.

>>140804385
attila has the most variety, but Shogun 2, even in Singleplayer, is the most competitive with the AI, since everyone has mostly the same units, and even the trash can be relatively useful.

while Rome 2 and in extension Attila has units that are straight up useless.

Also Charlemagne has less unit variety than Shogun 2

What? Why? Control of the trade nodes and interdiction of trade routes was 100% naval based, without a fleet you couldn't get to india without marching through the middle east, and you couldn't even get to america. You lose more than half of the game without naval.

And yes, the naval battles in empire are the best ones.

Total War: 40k?

Why not?
>>
>>140805786
>>140806001

There really aren't any boring times in history. Civilization is a non-stop blender of chaos, politics, and culture. If an era seems boring, it's probably because you don't know enough about it.

Well, unless they're generic nomads who haven't developed a civilization yet. Those faggots tend to be extremely boring, as their lifestyle of spending every waking moment trying not to be killed by nature only allows for trace amounts of culture, like stupid drawings that a child could make. Humans are little better than glorified apes at that stage.

Atilla has a a better campaign, a less generic setting and more interesting battles than Rome 2. Also the DLC has more variety to it.

It only gets a bad rep because of poor optimisation and because ancient era retards can't handle migrating hordes, cavalry that actually pack a punch and difficulty spikes.

That said, I would love a retrofit mod which put the factions and setting from Rome 2 into Atilla, just because the faction variety is nicer.

Sorry I was away. I answered in an obnoxious way because it's kind of an obnoxious question.
Whether or not it is 'playable', or what defines 'playable' varies from person to person.

I bought it on sale about a year and a bit after it's release after having not touched TW games at all since M2. I found it enjoyable then(vanilla), which assumes playable for me.
You aren't going to get any good enough answer from anybody but yourself.

I was set on playing Vampires first but I refuse to until Blood Dragons are added by the updates.

Everyone really likes Attila.
Everyone also really likes Shogun 2.
Shogun 2 is a more solid game across the factional board.
Attila's migratory mechanics are kinda annoying unless you're the meme Huns and stuck that way forever.
Also the fact that more than half the map is owned by three big blobs at the start of the game results in a lot less variation between games.
It's authentic but quite a bit more stale than the time periods where there are no tremendously large states established.

My main problem with Atilla is the same issue I've had with Total War since Empire: there are too many factions in the game and the AI can't handle them well enough. When you played pre-Empire Total War, factions would begin to get annihilated and power blocs would emerge. After Empire literally every faction gets locked into wars with one another and are still one region nobodies whilst you're a huge power that owns half the map.

You just never get the challenge associated with going up against someone of a similar strength.

Even the premade empires of Atilla are a little flaccid and collapse easily.

A God's definition can be based in the physical as well as the spiritual. You can indeed kill a God. You attack and destroy one of its underlying definitions within a society. This forces the belief in that God to shift. You don't end the God but you change it. Enough change and no original parts are present in the new whole. The original God is dead.
>>
>>140810086
>a God
THE God has a specific definition. Yes, you can change him to the point where it's debatable whether or not any of the original idea exists in a meaningful form, but Lucifer can't walk up to him and stab him, it's by definition not possible to do so.
Polytheistic gods are weird with death and concepts so let's not talk about that.

I'd like it a whole lot more if it did two things:

1. A civilisation mechanic for barbars that lets them adopt a conquered regions buildings, aesthetics and units, in whole or in part. Basically make the barbs syncretists, where they mix the best of either Western Roman, Eastern Roman or Persian shit with their own

2. Make hordes make sense. I have a few ideas on this one. Differentiate between migrating hordes and armies of the horde, with migrating hordes having the non-combatant population. De-emphasise currency, using it only for things a horde wouldn't be able to get itself, as well as maybe prestige, trades and possibly tech
Have horde buildings become buildings in the settlement the horde settles into, with each migrating horde having their settlement as their new home.

Just spit balling here

>Highly customisable experience
>About forming a tribe and advancing your tech progression
>Three avenues of tech progression

>Economic
-Main thing here is improving your food surplus, food surplus increases tech gain across the board, so a high Econ teched tribe in a fertile river region has a massive advantage
-Rest is just stuff to improve actual income and build infrastructure
>Metal and war
-Unlocks weapons, materials, armors and SOME tactics based off of what you unlock(Large heavy shields? Spear walls. Small shields and swords? Second wind etc, plus the immediate mechanic effects these have)
-There are no premade units, you build your own based on tech unlocks. There are only warriors, levies and soldiers each of course with different strengths/weaknesses(Soldiers expensive but high morale and high discipline, warriors cheap high morale and low discipline etc)

>Society
-Society structuring, helps with how many territories you can control and how many armies you can raise
-Society has a series of different unlock chains leading to different types of government which in turn give you different types of government
-Different government types give you buffs to your unit classes, for example a nomadic society/government type would have extremely strong warriors and access to AoR levies but no soldiers, a republic would have access to decent levies and excellent soldiers but no warriors.

Are you construing as a definitive statement?

He's saying that the Chaos Warriors move like ordinary humans and as such it wouldn't be surprising if they shared animations but even if they DON'T it wouldn't make much of a difference as the animations for the Chaos Warriors aren't distinctive looking even if they are unique.

Also I thought he didn't see the animations? So he saw the animations and also thought they used the same? Which one is it?

So? I wasn't aware Chaos marauders and Warriors were members of different factions, so we've moved from Elves and Humans, to Humans and Chaos, to Chaos and Chaos, where will the goal posts move next?

The argument is that a naked man and a man in a massive, thick set of baroque plate armor practically fused into his skin moves completely differently. Not only that, but the angry flailing that marauders do simply doesn't fit with the character of your average chaos warrior.

Look, autist, I know it's a completely alien concept to you, but seeing the animations doesn't imply paying attention to every minute detail. Look at the empire troops, then look at the chaos warriors. They both move fairly fluidly, as if not over-encumbered by their respective armors, so it's not a complete stretch to assume that, at a glance, the animations seem similar.
>>
>>140815585

Chaos warriors are marauders with armor strapped on them, later it may fuse to their body and that's just even more reason for them to act like it's not there.

Trudge
1.
to walk, especially laboriously or wearily:
to trudge up a long flight of steps.

So they trudge. Slowly. Without changing pace. Which implies they're not moving in any agile or quick fashion, you dumb fucking moron.

You could say the exact same thing of the Western empire at the end and it would be literally true

The HRE was Holy and an Empire, obviously not Roman but it had more of a claim to that than the East did because of its protection of Rome and the papacy.

No, no. The silly little argument was that they animate too quickly and should be slowed down by their armor. Not that they should stand like statues to be "grim and motionless." Giant evil warriors who worship literal gods of chaos shouldn't be orderly and calm, anyways.

>>140816947
They aren't trudging through blizzards or jungles though. They're charging the enemy on a battlefield. You're wrong man, just drop it.

Like I said a few posts before, it's fine that you accept them the way they are. The animations have no bearing on gameplay. You gargle shit, I don't. I'm completely fine with disagreeing you until the heat death of the universe, but for some reason you're so desperate for me to accept your point of view.
>>
>>140816947

That post did nothing but prove they don't even slow down when faced by nature's force, meaning they have the physical prowess to support the weight of armour easily.

The trudge doesn't mean anything, that isn't a battle context, they are warriors of chaos, they're going to be loud in battle.
>>
>>140817157
Different people, friend. Nice argument, though.
>>
>>140817006
The papacy and the roman city did not make the roman empire. The capital was moved to constantinople, and it continued to be called the roman empire by itself, its allies AND it's enemies. The germans went through several hoops to be legitimized by the papacy, which itself was not as roman an institution as the emperor in Constantinople.
>>
>>140817083

Who's to say they won't trudge to meet the enemy? And if you look at the terrain in the video, it is a snowy landscape. I'm not itching to argue for the sake of arguing, or in any need of being right, I'm just expecting a degree of faithfulness to the source material. They can do it right or they can do it wrong. Why settle for the latter?
>>
>>140817417
>I'm not itching to argue for the sake of arguing

Oh you obviously are, also as someone already said the trudge is not in a battle context, there is no reason to associate them in their everyday life to a battle so there is no reason to count that as source material for a battle, it's not hard to understand.
>>
>>140817215

>That post did nothing but prove they don't even slow down when faced by nature's force, meaning they have the physical prowess to support the weight of armour easily.

The argument isn't that they can't carry the weight. Of course they can; they're chaos infused warriors. The problem is that, like the other anon said, they're far too animated. You expect a degree of rigidity with the kind of armor they're wearing.
>>
>>140817417

This is the stupidiest argument I've ever read, so because I walk normally in my everyday life without howling and chanting does that mean I will do the same in battle? What the fuck kind of retarded logic is this, why are you so goddamn stupid lad?

Why? They are huge warriors and we've already read that they don't slow down when faced with harsh climate. these two elements can be used to support that they would not be impaired by armor.

The armor becomes their own skin, of course they won't be rigid. Tabletop stats don't reflect them being slow in any way either IIRC.
>>
>>140817417
Some snow on the ground isn't the same as marching through a blizzard. The empire isn't slowed down by the snow, and they're regular ass dudes, not monsters favored by evil gods. It would also not only be functionally bad, but look way worse if they had to "trudge" through battle charges.

>>140817715

Right, let me try to dumb it down for you a little. Maybe I did a poor job explaining it.

They're in a very heavy, restricting armor. You probably can't do any agile movements in it, no matter how strong you are. You can trudge, sure, even do a jogging charge to meet the enemy. But you can't sprint like Usain Bolt because the armor doesn't permit that kind of movement.

This is the kind of binary reasoning that makes you look dumber than what you probably are anon. Not being impaired by heavy armor (which isn't as restrictive in movement range even when it's not fued to your body) doesn't mean everyone is a nimble contorsionist.

The issue isn't so much the warcries either, but how they do it. Really, the whole issue is that they share animations with marauders, two completely different types of units.

Marauders: smelly skirmishing barbars.
Warriors: Grim, silent frontline warriors armed and armored head to toe.

It literally says that "a chaos warrior is a grim, silent figure", followed by the line about trudging. It makes no implication that they're only silent while they're walking from battle to battle. They might as well be silent all the time, or they might not, but the army book also says that when they're in a scrap, they do become a "roaring, unstoppable force".

Where have we argued that they're silent in battle? Just that their general demeanor is grim and silent. We can concede that when they're actually, physically fighting they get mad as hell. Which fine. But if you look at the video, they're not in a fight. They're standing there, not silent and, well, the grim bit is up for debate.

They're in a battle, but they're not fighting. They're grim and silent. Then they charge into to battle and they get mad as hell. Why is this such a difficult concept for you?

It looks bad, is all I'm saying. The fluff matters little compared to how they look. When the video pans through the troops, they're all in the same poses and doing the same taunts and it just looks off to my eye.

You could improve it so much with so little effort, like having the warriors hold the shields like they do in the tabletop, at the front like a wall.

They've probably gone through the source material dozens of times. If they haven't picked it up by now, I doubt they'll fix it or even think it's that big of a deal.

But then, when Rise of the Samurai came the naginata levies used to yell "yari ashigaru" and they did fix them later on, after many months. So we'll see.

The definition is very blurry yes, but it certainly isn't linked to tiers of titles. Emperors existed with no Kings beneath them and Kings lived who put Emperors to shame with their power.

I typically go off of whether or not the centralized ruling culture presides over other(multiple) distinct cultures of similar size entirely.

But yes at the end of the day it's just another vague word that certainly doesn't deserve more attention than any other vague word describing a state.

The truth is, from the middle ages on the emperor was the Holy Roman emperor or the Eastern Roman empeor, which is a reason why Nappy dismantled the HRE to assume the title of emperor of the romans, his son had the title of king of the romans or some shit.

Anyway the modern usage of empire now is not tied to the Roman title, but it's tied to "does this country controls countries that are not part of it? Then it's an empire", the use of empire for the Chinese and Japanese empire are nothing more than useful conventions, the Chinese, viets, burmese etc. used a different term from kingdom to refer to the chinese kingdom that I have now forgotten, when westerners were confronted with the challenge of localizing these titles they simply used empire, I think the chinese emperor literal translation was something along the lines of celestial king or something.

When it comes to Japan they used the same term the Chinese used in sort of a challenge to the Chinese prestige, that's why today we define the Japanese emeperor as emperor.

Anybody else like to do a bit of roleplaying in your campaigns? Cavalry heavy armies as the Takeda, warrior monk galore as the Ikko Ikki/Uesugi and so on. It's obviously playing to their strengths, but I try to make a conscious effort to make "themed" armies fitting their respective clan or faction.

My Hojo game was hilarious, with half the armies always being fire bomb throwers, mangonels, rockets and all kinds of explosive shenanigans.

That's it, we were shown the screen in one of the campaign gameplay vids, you can choose magical equipment and mounts from a list.

I think it works a bit differently for Legendary Lords where you toggle the mount on and off in the skill screen since you unlock LL's mounts there too.

I'd like it if you could attach characters and mages and lords and what have you into units. Restrict it to what type of mount your character has. If you want to ride with the Reiksguard, you must be on a horse. If you want to march with the swordsmen, then you go without a mount and so on.

He's just power hungry I think. Actively tries to improve himself which is a lot better than some characters. Even if he just behaves like an edgy cunt.

Having a waifu isn't particularly deep. Kinda deep in how he himself just went for the Imperial land grab through guile and ended up falling in love.

Warhammer characters aren't particularly fleshed out. They're just best defined by their actions. Which I suppose again fails to cast Mannfred in any positive light.

Balthazar Gelt is a fairly good character though.
Ungrim's two responsibilities is somewhat interesting. For a manlet at least.

What's everyone's most anticipated character to play as/use?
I'm eagerly anticipating Settra myself. Though Kroak or any actually living Slann would be pretty based as well.

Most of the unimportant factions in Warhammer have zero thought put into them

Estalia is just Spain, Ind is just India, Cathay is just China and Nippon is just Japan.

While the inspiration for these factions are lazy they can still bring new elements to the games. Crazy ass Indian war elephants, Shimazu samurai, grimdark conquistadors, uuhh what ever the fuck China is known for.

With GW doing next to nothing on those minor factions CA could do whatever they wanted and make them interesting additions, or just ignore them but Estallia, Tilea, and Border Princes are factions on the map. Maybe, not likely, but maybe

Granted those unofficial armies have about as much thought put into them as "What if actual country in 1500s, but MAGIC?!". I never wrote out my ideas in full but there's a million better things to do for Cathay than "Lol terracotta soldiers".

Like, we know they've maintained the world's largest wall against literal demons for millennia, they've got to be so good at countersieging it'd make Julius Caesar blush. Make them a faction with prefabricated walls they can plop down in battle, literally anything other than "The Empire but Chinese"

Warhammer, and especially 40k, were written to be very tongue in cheek. More a parody of fantasy and sci-fi. Just because GW today lost sight of that doesn't make it bad at what it tries to be.

That said, I love GoT, but it wouldn't fit for a total war game. Just wouldn't work right without huge changes to what total war games have always been.

You're completely delusional.

The 4x element of Total War has always been shallow as fuck, the primary draw is the completely unique real time battles, there isn't a single other game with anything like it.

The battles are THE draw of the series, if you wanna play a 4x/Grand Strategy game then it is among the poorest options available.

Warhammer is a fine fit, but his point was that it's similar to what they've done before when it's clearly not. Believe it or not your tabletop has absolutely nothing to do with real warfare. Total war set out to be a battle simulation.

I can't believe all these absolute shits on here who started with Rome 2 or because of Warhammer and think they know what Total war set out to be.

The ones that started with s2 or r1 are no better. S1 or bust.

These kids on here will never know that the original Rome was actually used in a show about historical battles back when the history channel was about history. Poor poor kiddos.

Explain how it's "clearly not." Show me where, in all the gameplay we've seen so far, Warhammer doesn't fit exactly within the total war formula.

>buy a $600 card to use for a month and then sell at a loss so you can buy a cheaper card that is on par with the $600 one you just sold

Alternatively, he could have an ounce of self control and just wait the month out with his 960, which is a perfectly acceptable card.

We can all agree that GoT would be an idiotic setting to even consider for TW, there is no reason to have an argument over it because a retard needs to have his moment.

I'm the only one who only played shogun 1 and rome and is picking up again because I was a tabletop warhammer fan 15 years ago?

It would be boring. Why even bother with fantasy at that point? I would rather they just give us Medieval 3 instead, and I'm a fantasyfag.

Exactly, if we're going with fantasy with should go with a real fantasy setting, not not-medieval europe in not-fantasy setting, what's the point when it's just a shitty real history knockoff? Just make Medieval 3, at least the armies will be interesting.

If I want Fantasy I prefer something more Fantasy than fucking GoT

Decisive battles and time commanders, man they need make more of that. Richard Hammond even hosted time commanders, so good.

>so bad at history he doesn't know Warhammer is just historical kingdoms with orcs and elves

>>140846941

Have you actually watched an episode of Decisive Battles in the recent past?

It's pretty embarrassing.

>He can't tell the difference between an ultra-low fantasy setting like GoT where magic is something barely anyone even believes is real and an ultra-high fantasy setting like Warhammer where magic is commonly accepted and people learn to pull comets from the sky in big, publicly funded colleges.
