Re: Warhammer III pre-order leaked.
I'll reserve my final judgement on the map for a clearer reveal but this does not look good and has killed a good part of the hype I had for the game for now. The Darklands seem as neglected as they were for decades by GW, I don't count more than four or five provinces with a potential Chaos Dwarf presence. The Eastern Steppes, supposedly vast lands inhabited by Hobgoblins, Kurgan and Hung are reduced to some very slim provinces. Cathay is squished in a corner and not really looking like the greatest realm of Men. And to top it off the whole mortal part of the map is warped in a rather unpleasant way. I don't think the addition of the Realms of Chaos is a good design decision by CA but then I might be biased as I really don't care for Chaos as anything but antagonists.
