Total War with procedural generated campaign maps like Civilization games ?

[gimlikos84]

that would be my dream

[Ashardalon]

would probably be a better fit for any other total war game
since this one has races accustomed to the climates they start on

nothings is impossible

[Ashardalon]

i guess a starting location randomizer shouldnt be too hard to mod
problems are with having the factions be functional when moved
no matter what you do, the empire isnt going to have a good time in the chaos wastes

Inb4 corporate defenders jumping to stifle innovation and new mechanics... oh wait I'm already too late.

pointing out the hurdles that need to be worked out isnt stifling innovation
its the first step in creation

never expected this to be done by CA
makes no sense, especially since they would have to argue its creation with GW
this would come as a mod if it ever came at all

I'd love that kind of game mode.

And let you pic some details like civ 6 maps.. like size, land mass, resource scarcity, etc.

Maybe let you check/uncheck including factions/lords as well.


It would add an amazing layer of fun to the game.

For just random starting locations for everyone, there's mods.

Random map is a bit more than you can get in a mod, though. It seems rather unlikely for CA to make with the current engine/licence.

I would recommend Age of Wonders 4 if that's what you want. Great game and you can make most Warhammer Fantasy factions in it if that's your thing, no problem.

Cool.

But still it is fun to spitball.

AoW4 sucks btw.

I've been asking for this for years and now that modders are able to make custom maps it might be possible

not everything is black and white.

a total war with procedural generated campaign map will be awesome, but it would have to be another IP, Warhammer already got a world map and tbh GW probably wouldn't like it.

same can be said if CA decided to make med3 but instead of europe made a procedural generated campaign map, then im pretty sure the historical fans would get mad too.

I mean you can EASILY provide a lore reason. Something about different dimensions, mirrors of madness style what have you.

I mean very basic creativity can make it a thing.

Just like there's no skaven in 40k cause of the warp dimension stuff.

I mean they actually did that in Pharaoh officially so it wouldn't be that strange to see future Total War games do that. But since everyone is talking about adding that to this game, that's hard no from me. That ship sailed once the game launched.

We'll keep having fun spitballing.
