Skaven: The plan took nearly 10 generations to complete! Dwarf: By my beard. How many winters were you critters preparing that plan? Skaven: Five months. Dwarf: .....

[@randy312]

Seems about right man-thing, Yes yes

[@NewGuy2534]

The Skaven plan?

[@cendresaphoenix1974]

Actually it would be about 20 years

[@tomthestone1470]

Zoe Moonlight technically a full lived Skaven can be 20 years, so it should be a century.

[@albertofrankdiaz6664]

@@tomthestone1470 skaven elites lives around 10 years. Queek have 10 years and he said he is old and doesnt have to much time. Maybe a grey seer who have magic in his body last 20 . But the others 10 years is very old

[@wallhackergotdammit]

CA should really add another level to Karak Eight Peaks. Perhaps make it so you have to siege it twice to fully claim it. First the upper level, then the lower one. Having it just as any other karak is blasphemous. In fact, ALL karaks should be sieged twice. How the hell do they even get through the mountain gates?

[@Shagrat65]

I hope one day they actually go back and do a Mini Campaign for it - throw in Gorfang Rotgut and an flc of either Red Fangs or Broken Tooth tribe. as well.

[@khelgarironfist3301]

Even the most basic sieges are.. well basic. Couldn't expect them to make glorious karak sieges.

[@deerhawk7788]

Warhammer 3 needs to make better sieges

[@aymanelkadouri8235]

@LN I dunno man maybe that gold mine or that sweet sweet garrison or they wanted to anoy the dwarves

[@minerva9104]

@LN Orcs just have no priorities other than war and screwing over da stunties, and Karak Eight Peaks is a great place for both. As for Skaven. Well, Skaven tend to prefer infesting Dwarf Holds over digging their own, and Karak Eight Peaks is a massive, prime target for infestation. That's just why they got involved in the first place, now it's that Queek and Clan Mors don't want to show weakness by giving up what they've been allowed to claim as their seat of power and it's not like they give a shit if they lose hundreds of millions of rats doing it when the Skaven number in the trillions.

Fun fact: the skavens created the time of woes. They just blew up skavenblight by trying to create a great number of new tunnel with the use of warpstones based magic, which caused their near extinction and massive cataclysms around the world. It was at this time that the Council of thirteen emerged from the temple of the Horned Rat, and decided to lead skavens in twelves differents directions, to form the skaven empire we know today

if I ruled the kayak eight peaks, I would leave and wait while the skaven and green skins battle out over the ruins, allowing the dwarfs to regroup, and maybe an small alliance with the empire, and strike back while the rats and goblins and orks battle it out for the karak eight peaks. striking them back where they are weak.

[@Rellana1]

The thing is that it would quite likely take a massive commitment from the Empire for the Dwarves to retake the Eight Peaks and hold it,which they can'r afford,as they have enemies as well. I simply don't think it would be possible to drive the Skaven and the Orcs out and keep them out.
