Also a diplomatic bonus with his fellow vampire lords if you want to play LL-pokemon.
FWIW I'm seeing some commentary from influencers that they may have screwed things up in the current build and everyone has a much harder time confederating as compared to WH2.

Watching a stream of Nakai and I didn't realize he now starts right on the border with Khuresh.
That's some interesting future DLC foreshadowing. Khuresh contains a lost city of the Old Ones. Which puts Nakai in direct opposition to the Khuresh Naga if they do get added.
This would mean more if it and ind weren't deep in hypothetical land. As it stands Nakai being over there Comes across very much as "why are you here?"

People were swearing that Cathay could never happen until it got announced. The door for Khuresh and Ind seems pretty open, especially since at least one of them has been mentioned on loading screens (can't remember which).

Cathay was also a herculean feat for CA since it meant that they needed to pretty much create an entire Roster from scratch that fit into the greater lore of the setting.
Not saying it's impossible so much as expecting it inside of the next 2 years is... unlikely.

Not sure about loading screens but Ind is mentioned in one of Cathays caravan events.

Wait till you play lizardmen and roll one named Clo'aca

chameleon, tic-tac-to, "az'tek"....
also zhao ming is so consistently perfidious its almost comical, like the ai was somehow told "make this motherfucker just the biggest piece of shit, alliance for days then randomly declares war, sues for peace when losing, constantly tries to get u to fight people for him, always lying"
its like bro u coulda given him some redeeming features
u know who doesnt let me down? thats right the fucking skaven lol

So, a few months ago (I can't recall exactly when, sometime in May or June I believe) Andy Hall of CA said that he had seen the TW3 roadmap, and Ind, Nippon, and Araby were not on it. So, if those three are coming, they are so far off that CA isn't even looking at them. However, he did not mention anything about Khuresh, leading people to believe that Khuresh will be coming at some point in the next couple of years.

This is how I feel about Kroq'Gar when I'm playing Khalida. Like I'm fully comfortable with letting you live your fucking life in the jungle, dude! Fucking relax!

The interview from February includes Khuresh in there as not being on the roadmap

But is Zhao similarly hemmed in at the start? Kroq being annoying sort of makes sense when you're playing Khalida because if the mountain factions get strong, he's got nowhere else to go.

It depends on how you pull his relations. By default he probably won't war Greasus so he first wants to help unify Cathay. If he's hemmed in because you aren't fighting the Dissenter Lords and Eshin early and he's stuck dealing with them (poorly), then he goes nowhere, doubly so if you confederate weakened factions first before he has a chance to.
I imagine the Skaven alliance is probably what's screwing things up, since Zhao normally really wants to go after them.

CA have explicitly not said that Ind, Khuresh, Nippon, Araby, Southlanders, Fishmen, etc. are literally impossible. But they've been pretty clear for people to not get their hopes up.

It's notable that most of these basically require all new lore to be created, which is probably not something that GW generally allows CA to do. I think the most we got was Cylostra and expanding out the Vampire Coast army list from White Dwarf.
So it's a big if as to if GW wants to add extra faction to whatever their "Old World" line up ends up being, then CA might get advanced access to add it into Total War.

look i dont mean to criticise ANY crustacean representation but 1) the crabs in vampire coast do NOT have the biggest gun (stereotyped as slow brutes yet again, the tragedy of having only 100k neurons) 2) until crabs have rockets its just not good enough, zombies with shotguns hanging out on ur back is nice but its not enough
the people DEMAND crab-controlled artillery

um i havent even done a major war crime in hours, u ppl gotta learn to let it go. besides theyre called "crimes against humanity" not "crimes against elfmanatee", and even if that did exist i would NEVER kill somebodys pets... thats just mean
also my biggest corpse crimes were definitely against the french, and at that point can u even call them crimes...
also i imagine miao ying talking to zhao ming like this

also a weird quirk of trade settlement; offering my skaven buddy an empty settlement was -8 to favourability, but putting my full doom stack in it was +2. when its traded they just pop out but its bizarre they assess it like that - i guess the settlement numbers are just boosted by all those passives, control etc but still
Not a huge surprise but nice to have confirmation: CA put out a post saying that they plan on adding more end game scenarios over time and expanding on the existing ones. Wooh:

I'm not even sure where you could put araby at this point; the whole area is already cluttered with a million factions and unless you got super fucky their is nowhere you could justifiably put them in the Realm map.

why am i beating him up the boi needs help
This would mean more if it and ind weren't deep in hypothetical land. As it stands Nakai being over there Comes across very much as "why are you here?"
People were swearing that Cathay could never happen until it got announced. The door for Khuresh and Ind seems pretty open, especially since at least one of them has been mentioned on loading screens (can't remember which).
Cathay was also a herculean feat for CA since it meant that they needed to pretty much create an entire Roster from scratch that fit into the greater lore of the setting.

This is how I feel about Kroq'Gar when I'm playing Khalida. Like I'm fully comfortable with letting you live your fucking life in the jungle, dude! Fucking relax!
I keep getting tempted to play another round but I dunno, just so many improvement coming along.
Maybe I should do a vampire coast in TW2.
But is Zhao similarly hemmed in at the start? Kroq being annoying sort of makes sense when you're playing Khalida because if the mountain factions get strong, he's got nowhere else to go.
