It's fun playing as the vampire counts on total warhammer 3 But I do wish the armies would be made up more of the local factions units in an undead fashion if you raise them in or near their lands - for example imperial soldiers in the human lands, elves in the elvish areas... just some undead with all the gore and armour from a fallen warrior. It would look awesome throwing an undead elf unit into their own ranks - the cause terror stats would just make so much more sense :D

The first half was incredible! It really sucked me in and got me hyped. But unfortunately, the second half fell off. You may as well have just been reading directly from a unit flavor wiki. I would have loved the entire thing if you had woven those descriptions directly into a narrative and also spent more time talking about the vampires themselves. Vampires a *great* narrative tool because they can be negotiated with, even reasoned with under circumstances. But you didn't even include them outside of a couple brief mentions. Please keep at it though, your work has improved by leaps and bounds over the years!

From 1500-1800 CE the area of Israel/Palestine was almost completely deserted with only 250k Muslims, Christians, and Jews living there continuously. After 1800 CE, the steam boat was invented, the economy picked up, and Arabs from all over the Middle East and SE Europe migrated there starting in theb1850s. European and Moroccan Jews began migrating there, legally, while purchasing land without coercion; starting in the 1870s. By 1900 CE, the Muslim Grand Muftis started calling on Arabs to wipe on the Jews migrating there. Because it is "Muslim" land. Then the genocidal attempts at ethnic cleansing began.
