Full Easter Egg Guide?

[Magic]

Hi all,

I've seen a few jumbled forum threads and comments on Easter Eggs, but has anyone actually put together a full guide together? I ask as I might do so - I'm also curious if non-Brits see the references to Only Fools and Horses or The Fast Show and wonder what the hell the game is on about!

I think that's how Brits say "cookies" or "elevator"

Classic British TV shows. Some of the orc skills reference them.

Well, I can say that there are no references to these shows in the german version.

Ulthuan is a reference to America

I thought it's supposed to be a reference to Atlantis...

What has Ulthuan in common with America?

Even geographically it wouldn't fit.

Here we go ...credit to 1D4chan though

High Elves: The "good guys" of WHFB. Although as a group they're dickish in the extreme like you'd expect, many of them are quite bro-tier and the reason the race is diminishing is because they overtax themselves to save the world every time they can from everyone they can, and humans are usually what counts as part of the world (except ones tainted by chaos of course). They have the strongest navy in the world, wear red/white/blue, bring giant eagles to battle, are snobby, the average citizen can't even name the leader of their closest ally, they send in their marines to unwinnable conflicts, they saved the collective ass of the Old World twice, their head of government is democratically elected...

Compared to Dark Elves though...: "They have a history of using slavery, violently suppressed the indigenous population when they colonized their new homeland, have no respect for the rest of the world, are embroiled in an ongoing war with a foreign nation, they spy on everyone including themselves, citizens can easily gain access to deadly weapons, their government is corrupt, they built a fence a wall towers to keep people from a bordering nation out..."

I actually wasn't even referencing 1D but rather some old post on these very forums who thought that Ulthuan was anything but the English. Same poster even said Naggarond was just evil America or Imperialist English!

The game makes multiple references to Games Workshop's famous Warhammer game! Can be hard to spot but its a really nice touch, much appreciated.

I noticed the last time I played Bretonnia one of the possible names for a generic lord is Thomas DuBois. He was a character on The Boondocks.

Dunno if that's just coincidence but I like to think there's a Boondocks fan on the CA dev team.

It is Atlantis. It even sinks under the sea during End Times.

It still is a reference to Atlantis, not America.

Although I have to say that interpretation is really interesting and kind of fun, it is still wrong, because it just picks out the things that support this theory, while ignoring everything else that speaks against it.

Exactly, there is so much that speaks for Atlantis.
