/v/, let me throw you a hypothetical. You get an unlimited budget and GW approval to make the Warhammer game of your dreams under 1 stipulation; it has to be about Age of Sigmar. What would (You) do?

a mobile game with maximal microtransactions to milk sigmarcucks

Seeing a Total War game would be pretty cool.

>1 stipulation; it has to be about Age of Sigmar
no chance then, normies can't grasp the setting as easily as fantasy and 40k

Assassin's Creed desperatly wants to be a fantasy series in its Witcher 3 rip off era with Egyptian gods and minotaurs showing up, so just let them have it.
Textur swap all the eagles to crows to use the already exisitng chaos assassin guild and you're done.
You can even do some future day plot about Abstergo doing brand deal by distorting memories they collected that didn't lead them to pieces of eden or whatever AC plot is now

AoS should have just been a rules system update in the same fantasy universe instead of having to explode and reset the universe

Baldurs Gate 3/ Dragon Age Origins style RPG (which one depends on my current mood) inspired by Age of Sigmar Soulbould, since the Soulbound Order your party is a part of in this game is pretty much already perfect for such a video game.

You get rich character and class customization and interesting companions pulled from the various factions.

You get to explore all the locations you only get in AoS (Kharadron Sky Cities, hyper high fantasy ruins of the Age of Myth and so on) but also get deep world building in the Cities of Sigmar, street level.

Focus of deep story, well written characters, rich worldbuilding and player choice that heavily influences the plot.

at its very core, you can easily pull every standart plot you can do in fantasy in AoS also

>oh no! The shady nobleman in the dark and moody castle was a vampire all along and now the dead are rising

>ork and goblin invasion of sigmar lands

>chaos barbarians are invading from the outside, chaos cults are meddling in our soft underbelly

>the elves are elitist snobby bastards and always scheming

>the dwarves are autistic fucks

>there are skaven with crazy doomsday consiracies right under our feet

Its all still there, you just call the place it plays in Excelsis instead of Altdorf and Flamescar Plateau instead of Middenland.

So basically it's not the warhammer game of my dreams. It isn't even a warhammer game. I walk away from the unlimited budget after cackling as hysterically as possible at the corpos that tried to arrange it.

>>721090652
So what IS the warhammer game of your dreams that cannot be possibly inserted and translated into Sigmar

I've never played empire in total war games, despite owning 1. Wtf am I supposed to do in Immortal Empires after killing the rebels?

>>721087653 (OP)
CoS builder is easy and on theam.
Should probably be closer to Frostpunk than to Cities Skylines though

People don't know this but Age of Sigmar has one FANTASTIC storyline.
Something it does 100% better than Warhammer Fantasy:
that is the portrayal of the story of Necromancy - the saga of Nagash.

Don't get me wrong, the whole thing with Neferata and Khalida and Settra and Mannfred is already a fun dynamic in Warhammer Fantasy.
But in Age of Sigmar Nagash is bursting with character, he oozes personality, and he's tons of fun.
Plus unlike some weird new additions, he's deeply linked to his old Warhammer Fantasy history, it's a continuation of his story.

So what makes him so fun?
First of all he's part of the bickering pantheon of deities in Age of Sigmar while being a bit of a jobber, so he bickers with all the other Gods and Half-Gods: his interactions with Sigmar and Morathi are super fun. He makes a big magical scheme that reverses reality in 1/8th of the whole setting and his plan is thwarted by Skaven again, which is comedic in a good way.

...and then there's the Mortarchs.
I LOVE the Mortarchs.
He has this weird bat-family of minions and lieutenants that do his bidding and they're all supposed to be unthinking unflinching undead golems with no free will... but all of them are nasty, bitter fucks who hate their boss's guts.
There's Mannfred, there's Olynder, there's Ushoran, there's Katakros, they're a big unhappy bickering family of losers that can't die and will never die and you do get this idea that Death is a real "Grand Alliance" that is leagues bigger than it was in Warhammer Fantasy, and it is frankly the one "Grand Alliance" that makes sense and was explored and isn't a monolith.
They took the idea of "a skeleton" and they managed to squeeze four full armies with subfactions out of it, and they're all super fun.

>>721091060
try to protect all the little factions in the empire long enough to force confederate them with the prestige mechanics. you are surrounded by enemies and all the little factions are retarded and will 100% die without your help, the only one you don't need to actively babysit is wissenland because it's a real faction now.
also go kill festus right away

A mecha game where you play as a rookie pilot of an Imperial Knight.

>>721091462
this guy gets it

>>721091462
Bring back Vlad and Isabella and I'll play your game.

>another fucking vampire character
Fuck no. That's too bloated already

>>721091372
Via death?

>>721092987
No. Fuck off. They're shit and boring.

>>721087653 (OP)
Just get Fatshark to make another Nountide game or some shit.

>one of my army's major subfactions got fucking destroyed by the skaven in 4th ed
Think about all the FUCKING MONEY we lost....

>>721095250
i really want to explore of these sky cities on street level

>>721095250
You'll get reflavoured to nomads now that the port is gone. Hopefully they won't get some cringe Cadia Stands!!1! thing out of this.
I wonder if they'll keep the Geldraad spots when the seats are supposedly proportional to GDP

>>721095471
the 2nd drekki flynt book have a pretty good description of barak-mhonar since it starts there

>>721095498
I'd imagine a lot of the people who managed to get away became Vongrim because they became broke.

>>721095471
I'm more interested in the stuff under the cities, since it's a permanent dark spot where a lot of broken flying machines and just regular trash would land.
I figure they have to send someone down there to clean shit up if they don't wnt a Great Unclean One of rust and decay spawning from the junk

>>721095471
I think thta's the only art of a regular street there

>>721098125
i want to be down there vermintide style, butchering hordes of invading Skaven and Grots.
