Warhammer 3 is coming out, and I think it would be fitting to play a SDMB Succession game to send off its predecessor.
For those who don’t know, a succession game is where we each play the game for a number of turns, then pass the save file onto the next person; we keep the board up to date on our progress in the meantime.
If people are interested, we’d need to decide what campaign we’re playing. My preference is for Mortal Empires - the less narrative driven sandbox campaign on a much larger map - but this WOULD require everyone who plays to own both Warhammer 1 and 2. There’s also the matter of DLC units - I think if one player recruits them, anyone loading the save needs them as well? So ideally we’d pick a faction that either doesn’t rely on DLC or one where all the interested players own all the relevant DLC.
Personally I think the most fitting campaign old be as Karl Franz - the quintessential protagonist of the series. The Empire only has two DLCs, I think, which is also a plus. But I’m definitely open to other suggestions. So… anyone interested?
Oh, one other followup thought on DLC - if we wanted to make it easiest to ensure all DLC needed are available, we could play as one of the WH2 DLC factions like Vampire Coast or Tomb Kings, since if you have the DLC to play them at all you have all the content you need. Or Warriors of Chaos, if we really hated ourselves…
