Fighting them might not be lore-friendly but the game gives you the freedom to make that choice (or sometimes forces you to when humans declare war etc.)Д«ut, if you want to do it there's a different element of challenge to it. I don't think that's true though, you can absolutely go anywhere to fight that you like, as I said you can go to Norsca and campaign with the Dwarfs, you can go to the West and fight the human realms. Because Dwarves don't like living above ground or some such nonsense. Lets say I decided to play Dwarves and didn't want to go only North or South like the other campaigns I played, I could go West and fight the human realms (Unlikely in actuality I know) but no, I can't. Playing vampires and want to lets say, take on the dwarves first for some reason, can't really do that because sacking and razing does not grow your empire too much. Just rubbed me the wrong way to have to only go down one path. Originally posted by Freelmeister:Fair enough, like I said it comes down to personal preference. The effort for creating the needed art assets was not put forward.

They did a 180 and did not like the regional occupation 2. Possible alliances between factions that would never ally together in the fluff) then why did they go back on their choice now in the second game? My only ideas are either 1.

So if they thought the supposed 'lore reasons' were important enough to trump gameplay (Only it doesn't in most cases in game I.e. Why was regional occupation really put into TWH1, like I said they put out a variety of lore reasons that weren't really lore reasons because they could be disproven. In my opinion, this is great because there were really no sound reasons as to why the factions couldn't conquer basically everywhere but Norsca and it makes the campaigns fresh and not more or less the same every playthrough. CA said there will be no regional occupation in TWH2 AND the combined campaign, which means the current old world locations will not have it.
