Maybe a political system with more than 2 parties and with elements of the justice system (e.g. District Attorneys) NOT being allowed to use their positions to play politics could contribute to the solution.

But the skaven don't worship Nurgle?

Veetu Heiskanen The Horned Rat has too many similarities to Nurgle to ignore, it is heavily implied that he is Nurgle under a different name.

[@sirkana]

@@holypaladin4657 Source? I read the wiki and could not find anything supporting this. their descriptions are on some aspects similar, but very different in others. The main difference being that nurgle is part of a cycle of life and death, meanwhile the horned rat is just entropy. (I know they have different aspects as well I just won't bother writing them here)

[@sirkana]

Also the horned rat is very similar to tcheench as well.

[@TheStormfury]

@@sirkana The Horned Rat is his own God. That's how the Warp works, any collective belief, by enough warp sensitive beings, for long enough will create that God. It's also how Sigmar became a god, well, the idea of Sigmar. The human version is long dead. The four big bad Chaos Gods are nothing to do with belief, but a perverted, twisted version of nature and reality as it is, so when they get powered by belief they are that much stronger and unlike other gods, truly immortal as long as life exists in some form. Meanwhile without Skaven the Horned Rat will die, or more accurately, fade away. Same for Orcs and Gork and Mork and any God specific to a Race/Faction. While some like the idea of Nurgle/Tzeentch being the Horned Rat, it does not work do the conflicting nature of certain Skaven clans. The plague priests could certainly be followers of Nurgle, and Moulder could be followers of Tzeentch, but the others do not fit those two gods ideologies for them to be the Horned Rat.

personally, I like the globadiers, if you put them on a sideways wall that gives them a view of the gate they can wipe out people trying to use rams. The rat ogres are also good for sallies due to how quick they are compared to inf. You can also deploy any vanguard units like gutter runners outside the walls, good for harassing approaching armies and keeping them within your tower's kill zones for longer. If the enemy has towers, concentrate on the walls there, as the enemy AI will use towers over docking siege ladders.
