Geography of Karak Eight Peaks

[@ungrimironfist3369]

one of the few karaks which is actually mapped out

[@Aziraal-Starhammer]

This is a very interesting idea for a video. It also shows how badly we NEED a good, expansive and detailed RPG game. Imagine being able to experience playing as a Dawi, Skaven or Greenskin character fighting for places such as this. It'd be beyond amazing.

[@zormgnoster]

This indeed! It is a mystery to me, why no one has gotten the license to create a deep storybased cRPG in the Warhammer Fantasy universe

[@taranoreilly5101]

I would love a RTS game where you get to control one of the three armies fighting for control of the Karak, sort of like Total War but more focused

[@Aziraal-Starhammer]

@@taranoreilly5101 That would be another good idea. Total War but the sieges of Karaks and cities have multiple layers to them. I personally think that being an individual who could witness the sheer scale of the Warhammer world would just have a bigger impact on the player. Maybe mixing Total War with an RPG could bring all the benefits. You create a character, experience a story, build an army/stronghold from where you can besiege these other factions. In each battle you can choose to provide tactics to your forces (similar to Total War) and then switch to a first or third person view (like in the Elder Scrolls) where you play as your own character.

[@NoctVisionsMedia]

A rpg game of taking over karak eight peaks, play as greenskins, dwarfs or skaven. Mount and blade rts inspired combat and overworld intrigue but heavy into the core of warhammer than mount.

[@adambielen8996]

It is nice that the Dawi gave you a room in every Karak.

[@jakewu8268]

@Adam Bielen I wonder how he earned the respect of the Dawi to have such rights!!!

[@adambielen8996]

@@jakewu8268 All Dawi love a good story.

[@bigmac8309]

as much as mini campaigns suck a three way war mini campaign focusing on just the eight peaks would be awsome

[@Shagrat65]

I'm hoping that one day we will get one mate - maybe throw in Gorfang Rotgut with the Red Fangs as flc as well.

[@BaileyBecca]

Big Mac they just need to learn to make better siegebattles and it would be amazing

[@partydean17]

@@BaileyBecca The siege battles are good tho for 20v20 units. Without a focus on walls it gets sparce

[@khelgarironfist3301]

@@partydean17 There are no siege battles even remotely representing a karak siege though.

[@partydean17]

@@khelgarironfist3301 do you mean like tunnel warfare and descending great ramps and fortified barricades. Giant halls of pillars. No there are not but that is necessary for the true eight peaks not all siege battles

[@anamericangrizzlybear8315]

I’ve learned a lot about the war for the Eight peaks, they really didn’t do it justice in TW Warhammer 2.

[@pdc4930]

There is so much here, they could make a whole game just fighting for 8 peaks.

[@mrhitisnumberone]

What did you expect from a total war game? The game you want will not be found in total war.

[@atomic9706]

Yeah there wasn't really anything they could have done differently. Total war is just too large scale for something so focused

[@tomthestone1470]

@@atomic9706 they could’ve had a few quest battles

[@guimts8881]

@@pdc4930 a 3D rendered campaign map of 8 peaks would be awesome, if they ever make a DLC of it I'll buy it as soon as I can.

[@kennethblock428]

Could you make a video, where you explain the logistics in terms of food nutrition for the dwarfs? I can't imagine that it's so easy to get supplies when you're surrounded with greenskins and Skaven 24/7

[@clintbarton]

one thing they did was eat a bread that was made from finely pulverized stone washed down with ale.

[@carnivoriousleaf]

No. The matters of logistics are not illuminated on in Warhammer almost ever. How are Chaos hordes so large? How do the Dwarves and High Elves have horrible losses constantly yet always remain at "dwindling strength"?

[@gabriel300010]

eat rocks. get buff.

[@lolkittensnya3717]

at least in the case of the chaos hordes, it really is the dark gods supplying them, if reality bends when they want it to, snacks are pretty easy to come by.

[@charlottewalnut3118]

carnivoriousleaf well a shit load of them don’t need to eat

My head is actually spinning from the lore...good work!

Just when you thought you were done with Karak Eight Peaks....

[@thanemlesstrue-arrow5724]

Your story telling is fantastic. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks.

[@jellejoe9356]

Excellent video - I had no idea of the actual scale of the threeway war for the Eight Peaks. Its astonishing to think you have so many Skaven living under your hold if I were to be a Dwarf living there :P Cant wait for "secret" new LL video ;)

[@Ipam6]

Wow thank you thank you so much. I've been waiting for someone to explain in detail the geography of this Karak. Seriously, thank you.

[@Tomorer]

Definitely one of the best fantasy locations ever!

[@majormoolah5056]

Fantastic stuff! When I begin yet another inevitable Dwarf Mortal Empires campaign, you will replace any music as the soundtrack :D It was amazing that Dwarf Librarians are called Loremasters! I hope they will one day add Dwarf Librarians as the most cantankerous grudgemasters of them all :D

[@ShadowOnlineGaming]

Good sir, you have out done yourself! Very nice video.

[@BaronVonMott]

AoS does a few things right, such as making the Dwarves into badass Steampunk Rogue Traders, but nothing can truly replace the wonder, mystery, and ultimately sorrow of the old Karaz Ankgor, the original Dwarven Empire.

[@BaranzarCobralVOD]

I have to say I would love a game set in the war for Karak Eight Peaks, perhaps with 3 campaigns one for each major combatant.

[@anaducksftw2520]

Just wanted to comment and thank you for these. Been on a binge. Just finished taking back Kara Eight Peaks with Belegar Ironhammer last night. It felt really good haha. Now to secure the entire province and go on the offensive against Clan Mors who want peace because I'm about to roflstomp them into oblivion.

[@mikewaterfield3599]

This shows just how well fleshed out the world that was well was. It's why we miss it and why age of $h!tmar is not equal. There is more back story on individual characters than in the whole of the reboot.

[@ericjohnson7234]

i agree. Never in any story telliing, do you end a grand campaign like that. Unless of course your that kind of stupid COUGH COUGH (GAME OF THRONES)

[@mikewaterfield3599]

@@ericjohnson7234 bear in mind Martin still has not released the winds of winter or the planned book 7. I think what that series suffered from was Hollywood hacks running out of road and going free style. Although… there was the way they handled the Dornish….

@@mikewaterfield3599 true, this is why only true lore masters should handle the stories, if a writer who has spent his entire life making a master piece dies, then some blow hard who wants money comes in to take over, will always without fail, fail.

Will they moved Queek, Belegar and Skarsnik to Karak Eight Peaks in Warhammer total war??

[@InquisitorThomas]

Doubtful, I feel that it wouldn't work out unless that entire section of the map was redesigned, in theory you could have the three factions start in minor settlements of the Eight Peak provinces, but factions that start in minor Settlements tend to get killed too quickly for it to be satisfying.

[@Just_Fez]

is there anything the present day dwarves do better then the ancient dwarves or do they just suck at everything compared to them?

[@PoorManatee6197]

The enginners create much more advanced machines than in the past, such as gyrocopters, ironclads, zeppelings, troll-hammer torpedoes, steam powered drills... But yeah, in everything else the golden age dwarves were better.

[@oswaldrabbit1409]

@@gabriel300010 nah, the food was better in those days. I think about it this way. You know Bugman's ale, the famous dwarf ale that is the absolute best of all? Well, in the Golden Age, Bugman probably would have only been a intermediate brewer, because he was so outclassed by the various ancient brews.
