[@michasalamon8315]

It could make for a bloody good sitcome. Imagine. Belegar, Skarnik and Queek going in adventures every day to foil each other’s attacks, tricking each other into attacks on enemies, with Skarsnik laughing like in Tarriff videos when Belegar and Queek fight, and running away in fear every time a screaming Queek or Belegar chase after him

[@ShadowPhoenixMaximus]

It could play out like a Scooby Doo episode, where they each take turns chasing each other

Once the dwarf rework is out I'm reforging the Karaz Ankor, the book of grudges will b e wiped clean that day!

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

Hey guys. For extra immersion in Total Warhammer, I definitely recommend the "Old World Mod". In there, Karak Eight Peaks are 8 provinces instead of just 1. Belegar's quest debuff reduces as you capture each of them. And you really feel the power when you capture all of them. They generate a lot of gold. It is not a perfect mod. But there are some awesome advantages of a campaign in there. One of them is that Reikland become a major superpower, opposite from what we see in Immortal Empires. It is a very different experience.

[@TheBookofChoyer]

Niice! Thank you for that! I didn't know that such a mod existed.

[@RandomSlovenianSoldier]

For the first game or the third one?

[@kunuk3320]

It truly is sad how the war ended there with the End Times. Honestly the way they handled the Eight Peaks was just so dissatisfying.

[@ahvideplaneet]

The end what now? Are we talking about another old wives tale, like the story about a time when Bretonnians would put women as knights?

[@PantsuMann]

The Book of Choyer is more than we deserve. Praised be the Emperor.

[@LeKain08]

Imagine a video game kind of like "Orc must die!". A tower defense genra video game where you play Dwarves setting up defenses against Skaven invasion at different places (map) of the Karak Eight Peaks kingdom. Then against Orc invasion, then both. And maybe, even (since Skarnik get the places at some point) playing with Orc against dwarves counter-attack in reverse mod. I would love such game to exist

[@finadeni670]

I wish there was a mod that showed you to focus on each race while the rest of the world just quiets down for a bit. For instance, allow us to focus on the dwarves reclaiming their holds and after that have different races react after campaign victory.

[@helarki4309]

The Phoenix Crown eventually got a sequel and it has a ton of guards around it now so the elves don't lose the second one.

The karak eight peaks battle royale begins NOW!

[@inductivegrunt94]

One of the longest and bloodiest wars in all of Warhammer. Dwarfs, Greenskins, and Skaven. 3 factions, 3 claims, one Karak, and only one victor. Though Belegar is the only one with a legitimate claim to the Eight Peaks. And soon he will claim his ancestral home and rebuild it better than before, so that neither Skaven nor Greenskin will ever be able breach its sacred halls ever again.

[@JP-jq7ob]

This is amazing!

[@bigjc300]

Skarsnik has always been my favorite greenskin leader

[@CiceroSolo]

Great video. I'm pretty new to Warhammer so all of this is new to me. I don't think this lore is very good though. It makes the Skaven too OP. If they did what they did to 8 peaks then they could do it to anyone. There's no way to beat them if they besiege you. It's kind of world-breaking. In addition, how do the Skaven and Greenskins occupy if the water is poisoned?

One of the most iconic locations in Warhammer, and a three- way war between three legendary lords.

My undead side wants to join this siege but rasie corpses from all sides and jion the fray.

Would you be okay with just bones because my ogre triibe don't see three factions all they see is a buffet.

A game where you play as the dwarves defending Karak Eight Peaks would be pretty cool.

Thank you!!! 😃 👌

for real, i enjoy your videos a lot, top quality narrations, epic ilustrations and well writen and complete summary of the subjects. @@TheBookofChoyer

[@Wolf-yt5rz]

I still wonder why Dwarfs haven’t found out it’s Lord Quex’s realignment of lands caused the disaster of Karak Ankor, although Slanns were their former teachers, it is still a grudge to hold.

[@andrewames247]

I thought it was Mazdamundi that set off the Great Quakes?

[@Wolf-yt5rz]

In the 8th edition Lizardmen and 4th edition WHRP Lustria, they both state it was Lord Quex, I am more a rpg person, so I bought the WHRP Lustria, it writes that.

Whilst i appreciate the need to move story lines on. The way GW ended the old world and made age of sigmar still seams really shoddy.
