Warhammer Total War: Warhammer III

And also as someone said earlier what the hell are they gonna do with all the ghosts and skellies in the game? Isnt this stuff a complete no deal for China if its included?

Skeletons can just get some zombie treatment, to the point where they are just grey-skinned humans. Works for WoW, why wouldnt it work for CA. Ghosts are fine as far as I know, its just dead bodies and related depictions of them that are a no-go. Supernatural beings like Ghosts are fine as far as I'm aware, but I'm not super knowledgeable on the exact limitations and restrictions. Most of my knowledge comes from WoW, where the undead no longer show bones, skeletons and corpses of players are turned into gravestones, and blood is green instead of red.

Is it like a rating system similar to PEGI or they tabooed it completely?

And they already have kislev as the human relatable faction to be this game's Empire or High Elves, so that's another reason Cathay's inclusion is so suspicious.

Chinese are not human relatable.

CA desperately manouvering themselves onto Winnie the Poohs cock. Actually I am most surprised this wasn't an Epic exclooosive. That would have created a hilarious meltdown online. I wonder how many bags full of money Swiney tried to bribe them with, obviously not enough.

They obviously used the intern-made Troy to probe the ground and came to the conclusion that it's too early to do that. But they're obviously open to the idea, so prepare to get disappointed some time in the future.

I'm looking forward to the new races, but you know what I'm looking forward to the most?

The engine optimizations from Troy and Three Kingdoms.
And better sieges.

Seems like those are all myths.

There are a lot of chinese players in various forums and reddits who saying they played WH 1 and 2 regularly and they are not censored in any way, with full skellies or whatever.

 

[Saark]

Seems like those are all myths.

As I said, it's mostly based on the changes Blizzard had to make to their game. As far as I know, those were specifically requested, so its very likely that a game that flies under the radar due to not being a very commonly played game in Internet Cafes and the like to not have any restrictions whatsoever.

It's part of the licencing process you have to under-go to be able to publish a game in china. They temporarily halted the entire process in 2019 and came up with new regulations. Depictions of dead bodies or pools of blood are outright not allowed. I'm guessing that walking skeletons or zombies are fine~ish as long as its not too graphic? Hard to say with the chinese, really.

 

[tabacila]

My understanding is that the Chinese don't really always enforce their laws. Unless it's something serious or some higher up in the party complains they just can't be bothered. I presume it's the same with these censors.

 

[Jaedar]

And better sieges.

Until I see it, I am not sure I will believe it. I would also really like a better system for growth, the current one is very flawed.

They gonna reskin them all as Uyghurs?

Or they just keep VC and TKs out of the main campaign for WH3 (possibly only for the China release). You would require WH1-2 to get access to mortal empires and if those are banned in China then WH3 will be in the clear.

Humans and mythological beasts VS Daemons should be fine.

Yeah, the myths of Chinese censorship of undead are wildly exaggerated - which in turn leads to companies self-censoring without need just-in-case.
There are lots of games with skeletons, zombies, etc. in China.
It's really not the big deal some people make it out to be.

Nudity would probably be a MUCH bigger problem.

RIP slaanesh.

(Shem never had a chance anyway)

 

[Maculo]

I have been reading/listening to the speculation regarding Yuri and that his campaign will entail becoming the champion of Belakor/greater demon, or resisting it. It would give context to "conquer your demons or command them."

Sounds like it could be Malus, but better.

There was no chance in hell for Slaaneshi boobs anyway with or without China. If nothing else it would have torpedoed CA's crap arguments about selling their Blood and Gore packs separately.

Could also be a Sword of khaine like mechanic, open to several races.

Still remembering that dumb bikini mod controversy that led to CA manually removing mods, I doubt they'd be wanting to do that anyway.

 

[tabacila]

There's a new article on ign.com about WH3 (https://www.ign.com/articles/total-war-warhammer-3-release-date-2021). The only new piece of info seems to be that players will have to save or exploit the power of a dying god.
I'm guessing that's Ursun, and the reason Tzar Boris went crusading towards the Chaos Realm? Would make for an ok campaign plot for WH3's Vortex style campaign. Kislev wants to save the bear god, the chaos gods want to eat/trick/rape/fight him respectively and (maybe?) Belakor wants his power. Don't see how it would involve Cathay though, unless CA makes Ursun part of Cathay's pantheon or something. Or maybe they are looking for new suckers for their belt and road initiative?

I found Shogun 2 with all DLC for about 10$ on Kinguin. See: https://www.kinguin.net/category/761/total-war-shogun-2-collection-steam-key

Add female soldiers, but give them all giant dongs. Balanced.

 

[Fedora Master]

I assure you, CA will cram in female units wherever they can. Cathay will probably be especially bad, it being completely new.

It was me who created that thread. And guess what I got a warning from steam moderation "please do not bait community". I told them to FUCK OFF. Steam is such a leftist US trash can.

Its a sad state of the internet when a person cant bait others anymore. Some of my favorite internet memories was baiting Bioware forum, I even managed to bait Jennifer Hepler and few other Bioware employees, fun times.

I wasn't really baiting. It was more like a satire. Threads like that pop up on steam all the time.
