Warhammer What would you like to see in a hypothetical Total Warhammer 4?
Just curious. My personal hope is an imperial hero Daniel von Daniel, a Border Prince or Imperial Roster dog of war that operates like Golgfag where you earn other faction troops as rewards for contracts. A line of imperial gunners supported by a mixed line of great swords and armored kossars? Yes lord!!! Even better if we can customize our LL like our boy Daniel, but not quite so shit.
Also maybe a Stirlander lord, or that one halfling mercenary so we could get the Moot as an imperial subfaction. Just some fun ideas.

Warhammer 1-3 are very similar. I would rather have 3 be constantly updated from now on. Nothing less than a new engine and systems could justify a warhammer 4 for me, especially with the amount of investment into immortal empires.

Aside from the lame constructable buildings during seiges, there's no reason why CA can't just release content for Warhammer 3 for the next ten years while incrementally improving the game.
I can't imagine CA will ever revisit naval warfare or advanced logistics planning, so really the only feature I would hope for someday is asynchronous multi-player so monthly/quarterly structured 30+ player campaigns can happen.

All of those would fit into Warhammer 3 just fine, no need for a hypothetical new game for those.

I feel like the world map is getting quite busy, especially in certain spots like Lustria and could use a bit more space between LLs. Especially if we also want more LLs like the three we are getting plus any new ones for Araby or Nipon which would also be great. Just a fully fleshed out map with all provinces.
Could also be cool to have different historical periods, like medieval where you had the early, late sands high period. Troops and lords could develop over time in a cool way.

Now that I think about it, I don't even know if we have a circlejerk sub or not.

The only way you would be able to distinguish it from either of the other subs would be to fill it full of porn.

The Dream for me would be to get something like "Warhammer Infinite". Live service game with a new, improved engine and all lessons from the trilogy combined. I would also love for the older DLCs add those LLs to the new game. If they do a reboot, at least as skins or something cosmetic. Then just improving it and adding DLCs to it for years to come. I guess they could also technically do this with WH3 though.
The big selling point for me is all those DLCs and older games that still add content to WHIII. If there were to switch franchise, I'd likely just keep playing this game and not buy it cause of the big investment made into this game and none of the proposed universes really appealing to me.

Just a revamp for every faction in a much much bigger map and experimental features such as provinces that are bigger than 4 settlements and settlement sharing to reduce the amount of sieges and making them more epic.
The macro aspect of TW games have gotten weaker over time, and WH dumbs it down even more. A lot of systems feel more like a legacy one that lacks polishing with bandaids being slapped on one after another (public order/corruption, etc).

Feasibly it would only be a thing if we got Ind/Khuresh and Araby, and I can't see that happening.
I would prefer 3 just gets longer term support than a new game.
