    Evidently, this is the most influential thing I've ever posted on Lustria Online. I'll just be basking in my success for a bit...

    Replace "influential" with "foolish" and you've got it.

    ;)

    Anyone offending the TK's will have to deal with the three resident Tomb Kings on LO: myself, @Killer Angel and the mighty
    @NIGHTBRINGER

    For Settra does not serve...

    I am a merciful tyrant.
    I enjoy myself when people think they have freedom of speech... false hopes are a useful tool to reign.

    The Tomb Kings might be tyrants, but literally no one in warhammer besides like the Empire are totally good. Besides, pretty sure those first 5 words are an oxymoron.

    I wouldn't classify any of the Warhammer armies as totally good. As far as the Empire goes, I'd put Bretonnia and the Dwarfs over them in terms of being good.

    Bretts are absolutely horrible to anyone who's a peasants, and dwarves... Well I guess they're better than the empire. Good point.

    Unless you're the greenskins/ogre kingdoms. Then you're the bad guys everyone hopes will beat the snot out of said 'good guys'.

    True, but I believe that the Empire is full of far more corruption.

    The world of Warhammer is much more about order and chaos then good and evil, which is something I like because it just makes it different from most high fantasy.

    That was kinda the point. :D
    If a tyrant seems merciful it's only a facade.

    But to be honest the Empire doesn't exactly care much about its ordinary people either... otherwise there wouldn't be as much poverty and suffering as there is there. And at least in Bretonnia the knights themselves do value courtesy and respect (even if only toward each other), whereas the Empire is fully prone to all the failings of humanity, as well as being extremely fractious and prone to civil wars (compared to the unified Bretonnia). On top of that, the Empire has rarely helped anyone except themselves, whereas the Dwarfs and Bretonnians have not only both risked their lives to help the Empire on many occasions but have also gone to help other human kingdoms as well.

    I would put Dwarfs at the top in terms of the Good scale due to their word being their bond and their respect for anyone who doesn't betray them, then Bretonnia, then High Elves (who vary between helpful and hindering as regularly as clockwork), then the Empire, then Lizardmen (who will attack any of the Old Ones' creations in the fear of them pillaging their Temple Cities but do things for the greater good of the Great Plan), then Wood Elves at the bottom (who will attack anyone who enters their forest regardless of what species they are and don't adhere to a Greater Good like the Lizardmen do).

    I also think Tomb Kings should be classified as an Order faction, because though they are ruthless and tyrannical they still wish to bring order to the land and have memories of a human past. I can't see them allying with brutal Chaos Warriors or barbaric Greenskins against a Bretonnian or Imperial army, that's for sure. However they are still on the lower level of Good alongside Lizardmen and Wood Elves.

    I agree. That sounds about right.

    A) Great analysis there @Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl

    B) The agreement points between you and @NIGHTBRINGER are no longer few and far between and occur regularly. :)
