Drop polar bears.

Matt Ward proably refused to do Age Of Sigmar because it's too horrible.
I also propose we move the discussion about it here, because people seem to be very damn touchy when it comes to little bit of offtopic, even when nothing else is really going on in the thread.

Anything that has an "only right" loadout, build, whatever is horrible and people who play it should feel horrible. That's why I avoid "competetive" games (like CS:GO. What's the point of having tens of guns when only few are actually used?), there are munchkins everywhere and only real way to not be considered a noob (and thus, not insulted at every step) is become one of them.

Really for CS:GO? I find that each gun is balanced for what you need, sure you got the people that swear behind the AKs and all the AWP campers but each gun has their own way to play. Hell I snipe people with the SCAR 20 which is considered a worst buy but works well enough for me on clearing lanes.

Well, all those weapons are guns and all of those can kill (pretty quickly, it's CS after all), but some of them are just better, there is reason why people use AKs and AWP after all. If you're playing ranked expect to be screamed, insulted and sometimes votekicked a lot for dying when you take something that's not widely accepted as proper thing, even if it was completly unrelated.

such refined tactics as 'put infantry in front of archers' and 'CHAAAAAAERG!'

Under AI control khergits are especially crappy, but under player leadership they have far more room for growth with player strategy than any other empire.

It makes me sad that the Rhodoks have the truth of the matter as far as raiding goes- the dumb AI can sit behind things and plink bolts at you just fine, but can't into horse tactics beyond 'CHARGE'.
Rhodoks with the dumb AI are at full strength, khergits are crippled by it.

Has there been any word on max battle size? Better graphics would usually equal smaller battles, especially if they're thinking about a console port.

The graphics aren't really that much better, and you would expect them to have some experience in field of troop number, so hopefully more than Warband.

they'll be scared shitless of us. Remember, this is before 1945 and the deployment of the first nuke. The only negative opinion they'd form about us deploying a nuke is fear. Anger only occurs when they manage to develop their own.

Implying they won't make their own. Consider it would be actually easier for them, considering they will at least partially know how it works, and the rest could be easily stolen.

Depending on the situation outside, you may be giving Hitler The Bomb.
EDIT: Also, it would be very boring ending of the war.
EDIT2: And when it comes to assault rifle, we wouldn't be remotely first. Fedorov Avtomat is considered to be one (it both had intermediate cartridge and detacheable 25 rounds magazine), and it was made in 1915, and there was Italian Cei-Rigotti (~1900) gun that fired similar cartridge but used fixed box magazine, up to 50 rounds. Germans were just the first ones to use them on big scale and the ones who named them.
