Heh, don't worry Mistrea. I myself haven't played a true Warhammer game in over 6 months. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if I'll even get more than 2 games in over the summer for the Nemesis campaign...living in a town without a GW store doesn't make for good gaming opportunities. ;)
Ah, yes - I remember that. Can't recall who said it, but that was quite funny. Maybe a PEPSI revivial is due for this summer...? (That is, if we can get other 'evil' races to join us). |

This is by know means official, but there are some on Da Warpath who are interested in an allience. Also, this would bring in the Chaos Dwarfs and possibly the Druchii, as we are having talks. Once again, nothing official but there is talk. (Personally, I I can bassh stunties I'm happy ^_^ ) |

Hey everyone, I'm new here, and I registered looking for companions for the Nemisis campaign. After SOC, I am a bit bitter towards the orcs. Their efforts may have cost us the campaign. If I have a vote, mie would be to go after orcs first, and then the Dwarfs. It seems that the empire have enough to deal with right now. Why should we help the orcs? They certainly did not help us. If we get together with the other chaos forums and perhaps the dark elves, we could really play spoiler to the orc's party. turn around is fair play right. |

One slight problem with your theory there, buddy (and you really don't sound like a convincing Chaos player, btw... just a suspicion ;) :P You sound like a conspirator from a side that doesn't want to lose to the Orcs. ^_^ ); Campaign Mechanics mean a battle reported in one of the country regions counts against all other battles reported in that region. So guess what? If you target us in the fluff, all you do is give us and our plans recognition in Games Workshop's official story. And hell, if you do that, we'll target you right back in the fluff - and we both get written into the story. :P Hence making any grudges a moot point - if you want to get recognised in this campaign, you need to work together between websites and recognise eachother's efforts. And, as an aside, I've heard you guys are after the Herdstone and UE as allies? Who do you think they'll see as a more useful ally; Da Warpath's near-total accumulation of online Orcs and Goblins players, or the limited, small community of COTEC? (on top of the fact that a good portion of UE Campaigners know me, from my twenty-one months in the Civil War campaign they ran. ;) ) So you may not want to annoy Da Path, as it could cost COTEC other allies, and fluff recognition. :P After all, the more people posting about something, the more it gets into the fluff - which I think we can all agree is an obvious point. And Da Path is a much higher-potential ally than COTEC, based sheerly on potential numbers brought out of the memberbase. Also- Yes, we are in talks with the Druchii, and I intend to start talks with the Beastmen and Skaven within a few days. And I also would prefer to have COTEC in talks with us as well, so as to increase the chances of everyone getting in the fluff - I believe that the more players recognised in this campaign, the better. And I'm sure you can all agree with that. As an aside, for those who haven't seen them yet: Map (in German): Posted Image Regions (Real World Locations): 1. The Draken Downs (Italy) 2. Drakwald Deeps (Spain & Portugal) 3. The Reik's Marches (Canada) 4. The Howling Heights (Northern Europe) 5. The Räuberdale (Germany) 6. The Great Confluence (Australasia) 7. Talabecland Border (USA) 8. The Barren Hills (UK) 9. Taalford Lowlands (France) Just so you know. ;) |

No problem buddy. I understand why you could think I'm not a chaos player. The GW site should open up in a few days and there are sure to be people form other groups showing up. Just curious, where did you get your information on how the game mechanics will work? I have not seen anything official. Certainly everyone will start out on even footing, but why should we believe it will be a free for all during the intire campaign? Even if that does end up being the case, why should we help the orcs with thier fluff campaign. I would rather see the orcs beaten soundly. I don't even care what happens to the other races right now. I do agree that it would be great to get an alliance with at least the beasts, deamons. Why not try to put the orcs in the same position as the empire? Leave them with few or any allies. Immagine Dark elves, Undead (both flavors), skaven, beasts, deamons, and chaos going on an evil tare. As soon as the orcs are on their back foot, we can turn on the dwarf alliance. The way I see it, we might be able to set up a second strong alliance and weaken one of the strongest factions in the game. However, above all, we crush the orcs and hand out a little payback for the storm of chaos. |

Simple fact: Da Warpath membership? 3774 COTEC membership? 689 Active members on either? Da Path: ~500-1000 COTEC: ~20-50 Active members in the Storm of Chaos? Da Path: Roughly 200. COTEC: Roughly 50-100. Frankly? Any website led by people with common sense will take the side of Da Warpath. It's simply something that's tactically sound. And this campaign isn't about control and advancement; it's about getting battles won and posting fluff to get recognised. Games Workshop have said themselves that the mechanics for this campaign will be "Very, very similar to those in Medusa." Meaning a battle in one region counts against all others in that region. Meaning that no "alliances" can be formed; only fluff alliances. And with Da Warpath's larger membership, and larger active memberbase, who do you think has a higher chance of getting into the fluff via our reports? And as a consequence, who do you think is a better "Fluff Alliance" candidate? I'm not saying you fight with us. I'm saying that we simply acknowledge eachother's efforts. The more something is mentioned in player reports, the more likely it is to reach the campaign story from Games Workshop; and the more player stories that reach the official story, the more satisfied players there are, and the closer-knit the online Warhammer community becomes. I can't see that as a bad thing, and if you're really going to bitch and whine at me about it, go ahead. But I'm quite sure I've made my point to those here with some common sense. And those here who were around for the SOC know full well that we had every right to be pissed off at Chaos Mortals - most of whom were from this forum at the time - and that we have long since left that grudge behind. If they still hold it, I will have absolutely no problem bringing about that grudge back in full. And considering the splintered nature of the Chaos online community, as opposed to Druchii.net, the UE, the Herdstone, the Hammer of Hashut, or Da Warpath? I'm quite sure we can bring the hammer down on you buggers. In conclusion? Don't fuck with the Orcs, because we're fully aware of what's going on, and we do keep tabs on you buggers. :P And I am here to act as an ambassador, and I'll not have you stirring shit with me, as I know what's what here, and you seem to be quite clueless. |

Actually, COTEC: Roughly 300-600 We had a heck of alot more active members back duing SoC, can't say how it was over at Da Warpath, but since Cotec was specificly made for SoC we had most forum-active chaos players coming here. Still, that does not really concern this campaign where Da Warpath will obviously have significantly more mebers than Cotec will. If alliances are off due to the mechanics, I'd say we should concentrate on finding enemies, not allies. Why? For the same reasons Grimview spoke of, fluff. Its a heck of a lot easier writing good fluff if you have a nemesis than if you have an ally :P I think a union over all factions would be interesting. A pre-made agreement between the factions about what we want to try and get into the fluff. So we all agree on what the fluff should be if say Chaos or Orks or Empire wiuns. Then, depending on who is in the lead all factions write fluff to supprt those goals. So if the Orcs are out to do X and Y, and they are currently in the lead, then all factions support their fluff with their own to try and force GW to recognize what they are doing. And if Chaos then overtakes them, then all factions write fluff to reinforce chaos goals. Of course, each faction also writes in itself, but they support the overall heading of the fluff that has been decided on. Example: The Skaven want to mine under Location A and build a city there, thats their overall goal that they have agreed uppon with all the other factions. This means that if the Skaven is in the lead, then everyone starts to write fluff about how they are encoutering Skaven deep under the place, and how some strange construction seems to be on the way. They still write about themselves, the Orcs might write about how they kill everyone on the surface, but how underneath something different is stirring. Of course, it would require that all factions in this pact agrees on reasonable goals for each faction, so that it actually feels ok to support it. But it would give us an oppertunity to really shape the fluff and to avoid sucky GW endings. |

Fluff, is the key. Howdy all, long time no see. ;) I hope we can work with you Spikey Gits too get some good fluff fired off too GW. Our two sites have had a good working relationship with Animosity 1 and with the LOA. I hope we can see more of that with this one. ^_^ |

Ok guys the Nemesis Crown website is open. It gives us our objectives, which is: Objective - The servants of the Ruinous Powers seek nothing more (or less) than blood, skulls, and souls. As the armies of Men, Dwarfs, and greenskins converge in the Great Forest, seaborne warlords lead their warbands up the great rivers to attack towns far inland. There, the Hordes of Chaos bring mayhem and slaughter to all who stand before them. With every Hordes of Chaos victory, the Ruinous Powers grow stronger, whilst the forces of their foes are weakened. And that's a very good point Lightbringer. So now we just need to figure out our fluff goals and do the roll call. We in the UK also get that awesome Chaos Sorcerer as a webstore exclusive !! http://nemesis.uk.games-workshop.com/produ..._exclusives.htm |
