      I tried this game once as I wanted to find more chaos themed warhammer games plus simple mobile warhammer games. I'd give it a... "neutral" score as it wasn't atrocious but it wasn't great. After the start game cheats you realize gathering resources and building takes so long plus you have little to defend yourself from players other than a temporary shield. Worst of all you can't really "build your own war band" the way you want to, let's say devoted entirely to Tzeentch, unless you have endless resources.

      @kunaljanvalkar2850 3 місяці тому +2

      Ingame mors is most stable if you never recruit Gray Seers. It matches the lore. Queen hates white fur. My understanding is that because he considers himself the supreme rat but cannot really match grey seer magic only with his strength and courage so they continuously remind him of his insecurity. Secondly Queek is bad at politics which disappoints Gnadwell and delays his retirement. Queek however blames his inability of assention on the Gray Seers and their schemes creating obstacles in his path.
      He might be correct on this one. As much as every Council Lord wants to see Gnadwell dead, they are even more afraid of Queeks ascension as Clanlord. Because they don't understand Queek like he doesn't understand them. You can't threaten him, or bribe him, or negotiate with him or even assassinate him. If one day he declares that he wants to eliminate every clan, no amount of politics is going to save them.
      As far as why Clan Mors is loyal lorewise but not ingame:
      1. Gnadwell is a good administrator and rats in his domain are managed better and are happier. Even members who were bought or borrowed armies sometimes choose to stay. Ingame there is no Gnadwell, only Queek who is like an asshole son of a good employer.
      2. Red Guards are ordered to crush rebellions however small. Those elite stormvermins going town on slaves create stories that prevent another rebellion for a few years. There are no redguard unit or hero ingame (which could have government passive -chance of loyalty increase)
      3. Promotion prospects in Clan Mors are fair. Even a clanrat hopes to become a warlord one day. There is no promotion mechanic in basegame.
      4. Clan Mors is rich and has abundance of food at most times. Ingame mors doesn't receive any food income bonus.
      5. There are few gray seers in mors. Ingame AI Queek hires gray seers despite penalty to loyalty.

    • @yonasshinigami4956
      @yonasshinigami4956 Рік тому +68

      my head canon is that the horned rat was a greater deamon of Nurgle wich became so powerful that he broke free of nurgle and because nurgle is such a sweet big geezer, he was fine with it and even gave some of them his great gifts. Think about it, Nurgle has almost all the animals considered vermin in his deamon roster except rats. He has Flies and Mosquitos, snails, maggots, even fricking frogs, but no rats? the most obvious one? I think that is because when the horned rat became independent, he took this domain from him. It also is canon, at least in 40K, that nurgle has some great unclean one locked away because he became so powerful he could spawn his own deamons. Maybe he did not want more of his children to break away from him. Thats how I see it anyway

    Clan Mors shows that Skaven are capable of being honorable in a sense. Now I wouldn’t call them altruistic as I believe that Skaven will almost always act in self interest before helping another. However if a human were somehow leading a force of Skaven, and treated them well. I could see how it may work out. In fact there could be a story there of an honorable knight leading disillusioned clan rats into becoming honorable warriors.
    Just think about it. A man is captured by Skaven. But they do not consume him. Instead they lock him up unharmed. Chittering is heard as a figure approaches. They are a man in painted armor. Resplendent in the firelight. He is flanked by heavily armored rats.
    The knight quickens as he recognizes the man in the cage. It is his old friend from his old battle group.
    He has his soldier release the man, and explains his situation.
    He had run from the sacking of their city years ago and made contact with this isolated clan of Skaven. At first an enslaved warrior he fought for them. This was until he slayed their leader and forced them to submit to his own will. Over time they accepted him as their leader and followed his orders. Eventually they even gave him their loyalty as he showed them his ways.
    He eventually trusted them enough to show them kindness. Creating a sense of loyalty even if it is in their own twisted way, probably the greatest loyalty any Skaven war and has ever felt to their master. It is a mix of loyalty and fear that keep them in mind. Loyalty making them follow his orders and fear keeping them from betraying him, as he is a great warrior.

Just because when I was 5 and first introduced to Warhammer through a PS1game called Warhammer: Shadow Of The Horned Rat.. they were the first real bad guys I fought besides the orks and goblins. As a kid playing this very u forgiving game. I was terrified having my regiments fight a rat orge for the first time lol. I got recked my first playthrough. Unlike total war your armies really couldn't recover unless you are in a part in a game you can hire more troops that are volunteering to join you mercenary group... and if you loose a unit there gone permanently for the rest of the campaign
