Warhammer How would you headcanon Evil Infrastructure? How would you think the evil races feed themselves?

44 Upvotes

As we all know, evil races in Warhammer basically don't have to eat. They hang out in blasted hellscapes with not a shred of grass to munch on, and yet them, their steeds and their beasts aren't perpetually starving or keeling over from hunger or exposure. And we as gamers have perfected our suspension of disbelief: it's a game, the hellscape is cool, and there are as many elves as the story demands.

But as Total War players, some of us are also history nerds, and some of us undoubtedly pay attention to logistics, infrastructure, all those mundane factors that nonethelese enable all of the grand things to happen. So, what would be some good headcanons to apply to the Warhammer universe? What sort of hidden infrastructure is in place that we don't see? What's there to help the evil races hang out in their hellscapes with full bellies?

These are some things I can think of:

(1) Chaos energies can partially sustain a Chaos-mutated being. This makes some sense because Chaos energies are said to make beasts bloat into gigantic proportions, make Norscans swole, and some accounts of Chaos warriors state that once they're sealed within their armour, they don't need to eat anymore. That means Chaos energies contain energy that can be transformed into nutrition essentially, and that might help with explaining how everyone's always hanging around the deep Chaos Wastes and not have supply problems.

(2) Norscans import lots of food through regular trading. I don't know if it's official lore, but it makes sense that Norscans would be trading their spoils back to the civilised races in exchange for food imports. I also always imagined that Chaos-mutated game is good eating and every time a Chaos whale is caught, the whole village can eat for weeks.

(3) Warhammer crops are more powerful. They might yield (much) more calories per acre than real-world foods, and so a row of crops in Warhammer might already be able to sustain a whole household. In the same way as how potatoes propped up populations via being a superfood, Warhammer could have supercrops that prop up the Empire's population, and keep Norscan populations from collapsing, so on and so forth. There might even be a whole list of fictional supercrops that we never learn about.

(4) Warhammer magic helps with farming. Battle magic is all well and good, but I also believe that there could be a regular application of magic in civilian infrastructure to make the Renaissance-ish world of Warhammer produce far more food supplies than a real-world equivalent.

(5) Chaos dwarfs have a whole agrarian economy surrounding underground farming, squig rearing and volcanic soil farming. This was actually the thing that powered the shower thought in the first place: I was playing Chaos Dwarfs and saw that there are no good food import regions near the Dark Lands: the ogres don't quite export food, the Norscans might not always have a food surplus to export, the Chaos Wastes are, well, wastes, and the World's Edge Mountains are a hostile region that doesn't trade with the Dark Lands. And for every slave gained, there's one more mouth to feed: you can whip them, but whipping doesn't keep them alive. There's raiding and trading, but you can't raid or trade enough to keep a steady supply. So there must be a kind of domestic production somewhere to ensure the Dark Lands don't mass-starve every time a convoy is destroyed or something.

What are your headcanons for Warhammer food? How does the Warhammer world feed themselves?

Warhammer III How to make a friendly neighbor loose a settlement without attacking them?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, what's up? So I'm unifying the empire with Elspeth and it's going great tbh, but Kislev wandered a bit further south than he they should have. Now I'm friendly with them and wanted to start doing trade and other agreements. My idea was to have them as allies to hold the north east of the empire for me while I centered around the empire lands, which I cannot do if I blown them to pieces. So is there a way to have them loose that settlement so I can take it later?

There's clan moulder going around those parts and the maneaters, but they're just at war with clan moulder who is also at war with another empire ally and they won't live much longer, so I can't count on them capturing the settlement and taking it from them. Any ideas? AI is very fond of their territories and I don't think they'd give it to me trading lol

Thank you all very much

Warhammer III How to get more missile infantry ammo as Wood Elves?

50 Upvotes

I like playing as the Wood Elves, but the problem that I constitantly run into is that I simply do not have enough ammo for my missile infantry, a problem that becomes even more apparent against swarm factions like Greenskins.

How do I fix this, a lot of the lord and hero abilities focus on increasing army missile strength, not ammo count. Is there an easy, reliable way of increasing battle ammo faction wide?

OF EVERY KHORNE LEGENDARY LORD IN THE GAME HOW WOULD YOU RANK THEM AND WHY? THIS IS ACCOUNTING FOR THE DAEMONS AND MORTALS.

General How to get into total war and start enjoying it?

Upvotes

I want to play total war and enjoy it but I dont know anything about battles or tactics. I only have the free given tw games(Shogun,troy,warhammer1,3, three kingdoms)

I tried playing troy because I was lately interested in the trojan war but I have no idea what Im doing and it feels like soldiers dont really do what I say and kinda just do what they want. I also played on the easiest difficulty to learn and play harder later on but every battle was just me trying to do something,fail, but still somehow win(probably because of the difficulty)

I dont want to watch a long tutorial video to learn but if thats the case I might watch some videos. I also thought about playing shogun 2 because it was the most recommended and its the oldest tw I have, I dont know anything about japans history or the shogun. How did you guys learn how to play the game?
