Loreful Start Positions Please!

[The Grizz]

I know there are mods. However they constantly desync me and my friends game when we try to play together. With our load times already being an average of 5-10 minutes it would just be nice for Immortal Empires to have a Loreful Start Position option. I understand the reason for some of the positions is balancing but I grew up with Warhammer Fantasy and it makes my skin crawl to see Grombrindal in Naggaroth or Skarbrand in the lower badlands. I don't think I'm asking for much, can we please just get a Campaign option to have duel starts and loreful start positions for the Lords. I'll even tell you guys where these Lords should start for free just please make this an option!

There are certainly a few odd choices (Ostankya e.g.) but bost of them have good reasoning. Grombrindal can literally show up anywhere and has a particular grudge to settle against Malekith. I don't know much about Skarbrand but I think he could be kinda anywhere too.

Skarbrand was summoned there by Thanquol or someone by accident, if i remember corectly (dont quote me on that)

That was in 8 peaks, when him and Queek were working together. He was supposed to summon a verminlord, but messed up and summoned Skarbrand instead. Its the reason Queek hates all Grey Seers.

WHF lore was designed to facilitate anyone fighting anybody else anywhere. So I'm not really sure whats so upsetting about seeing that in action.

Skarbrands loreful start position for example wouldn't be on the map at all, same with the other greater daemons.

all of the start locations are justified in-game

This sort of complaint is what modding is for.

Justified poorly

An unpopular opinion, loreful start positions are super boring. It would be far better if they made/allowed 2-3 starting location alternatives for each character/lord/lady...

That's not an unpopular opinion

That's called a correct opinion. We had loreful start positions and they were boring so much so that a handiful were moved

Solution:

Quit your job, get hired at GW, spend several years writing lore for Warhammer fantasy, work for CA in the Total Warhammer team, learn to code, re-write the start positions to be more "loreful" in your head.

Profit.
