Roxburgh states, 'Simply painting the map your colour is not always a route to victory and is arguably the least strategically interesting. This means that some areas of the Old World cannot be completely subjugated and will always be a source of threats, forcing gamers to find new ways to deal with factions that reside there. The first of them can be occupied by any of the factions present in Total War: Warhammer, but the second type of area can only be conquered by the Dwarves and the Greenskins, with the Chaos Warriors acting like a horde faction that cannot settle down anywhere and the areas in Norsca also unable to be conquered by any other race. Ian Roxburgh, a game director, working on the strategy title, offers an in-depth look at this side of the game in an extensive blog post which explains that the provinces and regions are divided into human settlements and holds. The development team at The Creative Assembly is ready to finally reveal the region occupation and city conquest system for the upcoming Total War: Warhammer, explaining how the concept will work for each of the featured factions and the thinking that went into its creation.
