I really hope that in the Tzeentch faction trailer, the slogan will be "Conquer your Dragons".

[KingsandGenerals]

I love the look of Cathay. Initially was worried that it will be "Empire East", but both the feel and look is very different, good job!

[TheAtlasReview]

Is that spell where he deflected enemy projectiles actually in the game? Because that looks incredible.

[killverne]

"Lord we have walls and..."
"F*ck the walls I'm a dragon !!!"

[antti]

that looked scarily like a potential siege map. And while it's beautiful it still looked like that 1 wall attack point with minimal areas behind the walls to fight in. Hopefully I'm either wrong or they have come up with something really nice to make sieges fun again!

[BarokaiRein]

Looks like Cathay's greatest minds took strategy lessons from season 8 of game of thrones.

[tobypeel]

That first shot doesn’t fill me with hope for the siege rework 😞

"Look at the siege map"
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS

[sonofsanguinius]

CA: Look at these cool units
What the fans see: You still haven't fixed the dammned sieges!

[flyingpiggie]

Oh dear, that siege map. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Doesn’t look like much of a rework…

[scholaepalatinae]

I like how CA didn't put any of the Tzeentchian chaos warriors or Chosen in this one because they haven't done remodeling xD. If there is any at all.

[Ale-mvgr]

That first line has a very deep meaning: nothing endures without harmony and harmony only endure through us, it means that to create the world we desire, we cant bet on random chance, but work tirelessly towards that goal.

[yehiahuzayyin]

You know, in lore the Dragon Emperor's children are always at each other's throats for their parents' attention, but that subtle nod that Miao Ying gives to Zhao Ming at the end shows that when push comes to shove, they're still brother and sister.

[Asraeks]

So siege rework is just coming in front of the walls?

[jdurthu]

Units look great, but this siege map... looks like Warhamer's 2 single wall map :/

[BumpkinBob]

That city looks disappointing considering all the talk we’ve heard of a seige rework. I’m torn because hot damn do those units look good

[jakobtarrasericsson]

For those with concern, I'm fairly sure this is the Great Bastion. Like, that structure is massive and the map situated looks on the border with the Chaos Wastes, or at least part of it eastward.

With the great bastion, I'm pretty sure it will be like pass battles as you know, you can only really attack a stucture like that from one direction.

[elukka]

Please, bring back 360 degree sieges! And a greater map pool variety in general - we got plenty of "plains with a couple of rocks" versions already. Where are the cliffs, deep woods, rolling hills, epic mountaintops, sneaky chasm routes, muddy swamps, roaring rivers and bloody bridge battles?

[Cekkaaaaaaaa]

Wait a minute, did the stone giant stroke his invisible beard like 3K's Guan Yu? 0:44

[Distamorfin]

Small piece of interactable wall flanked by giant wall or mountain on either side: check
Same or similar interior city layout as we've seen for the last two games: check
Walls just big enough for two units to stand on, with one of them most likely being forced to face inside the city: check
What exactly about sieges have been reworked here? Because this is all of the stuff that people wanted changed and it looks like none of it has. The artillery is even placed outside the walls, so I guess we won't be mounting that for our siege defenses either.
