    Warhammer 3 Total War. Ive never liked the empire, but I’m trying out the metal-caster Gelt for the first time since he’s been moved to Cathay. Super fun campaign mechanics, all focused on wizards and spellcasting. I’ve allied with both Maio Ying and Zhao Ming, and my roaming wizard deathstack has successfully secured the entirety of the East between the 3 of us, leaving in my wake scores of emulsified ratmen and liquified slaver elves.

      I’m giving Karl a try since they reworked the Empire mechanics. Its… OK? It feels like the empire doesn’t immediately crumble to every threat, but it is a slog economically to confederate while endlessly rescuing hapless Elector Counts. Also Empire units are a bunch of soggy noodles, especially their cavalry. I do appreciate that prestige actually has a use now, so he has that going for it.
