Just realized the warhammer map is like real life

[Water]

Chaos=Russia
Kislev=Kiev (ukraine)
Empire= eastern europe
Brittania=western Europe
High elves = United States
Dark elves = North Korea
Greenskins= Africa
Jade = Japan
Lizardmen=South America
Skeleton kings= middle east
Vampires= Nazi Germany
Dwarves=Northern Europe
Chaos Dwarves = China

K, it totally is based on actual geography of earth, but going off few of your connections, might wanna invest in purchasing a globe.

Tonight on: "Troll or Lunatic"

And I thought I was crazy.

So with this mess of a post in mind, now tell us who your favourite faction is, Water?

"Brittania"
Jade (Cathay?) being Japan and somehow Chaos Dwarves being China?

I'm really hoping troll, but it's definitely either/or.

Ohhhhh boy this is gonna be a dumpster fire

I didn't realise how many people think Africans talk like Chavs.

[Holy Fool Sehrael]

Bringing real life into a game is always a good, reasonable - yes almost brilliant - idea.

*Sigh* Reminder for anyone tempted to enter this incendiary dumpster.

Before you get yourself banned alongside the locking of this thread;

-Not every Warhammer Race is meant to represent a particular people-
And making the obvious "People I dislike = Warhammer Race who is Evil" link is neither correct or clever.

It's a good exercise in jingoism and xenophobia. Based on this list you only need one guess to identify where the original poster is from.

Must... resist... Helmann Ghorst... joke...

Yeah that's completely off, except for a few things XD


How the Warhammer world map is like the real Earth is that the geography is similar and probably based off it, though, just like most fantasy setting, many (but not all) Warhammer factions are rip offs of real world civilizations.

This hurts to read.

Nope:
High Elves = ATLANTIS; even tha legendary circle island is there.

United States is the EVIL, Despicable, Dark Elves ...

Also:
The entire left of the Map is North and South America.

Empire is HRE: the Holly Roman Empire, Thus Germany and Austria.
Even the naming and titles are German plus the Elector Counts - HRE political system.
(no nazy lol)

That island(s) North of Bretonia is UK

Vampires are a combination of parts of Russia, Ukraine and other Slavs.
Kisilev is Ukraine with parts of russia. (?)
edit: Obviously: Vlad the Impaler, Dracula has to do with that !

The Ottomans are those pesky filthy Orcs a bit south of Empire ... (?)

Bretonia + some empire southern factions is France, Spain ( Italy ?)
etc

edit: (?) means: not precise locations

[Triple G]

Wild guess:

I´d say Vampires are probably Romania, Wallachia, or just Transylvania, home of count Vlad III. Drăculea - hence Sylvania - and Vampires - and Vlad...

Also fits geographically - somehow...
