This might be a hot take, and by no means do i mean with this that this Game needs Immersion updates more than it needs actual bug fixes or reworks, but imo its one of those things that are overlooked for far too long by now.

I am speaking of Immersion in the game, it is something that has been severly lacking for quite a while now.

So i hope that we get to see some of that in patches, since they mentioned that from now on Patches will be more than just simple Fixes and will actually feature more or less major things.

Things i would love to see in Immersion Updates are:
Banner Bearers - Officers - Musicians

The Warhammer Universe has way too much amazing and iconic Heraldry that it is almost borderline criminal not to have Banner Bearers, who have also played a Role in the TT, who hold up their Banners with all the unique Heraldry on it. Also Officers & Musicians, though neither of them would have as much of an impact as Banner Bearers imo.

Battle Maps

While we fight in the insanely diverse and unique world of the Warhammer Universe, the vast majority of Battle Maps feels super vanilla and uninspired. I am fully aware that it is a major undertaking to make more immersive and unique Battle Maps, but given how much focus is on actual Battles in this game it would be a nice change to see Villages on the maps, corn fields, big forestry areas and positions that just HEAVILY favor one side. 

I am fine with it if not every Battle is balanced. Thats how things go in a world of endless, merciless wars. Sometimes you see yourself in the unfavored situation and have to overcome it. 

Sadly with the current Battlemaps that hardly ever a thing. 9 out of 10 times one gets excited if there is a big rock in the middle of the map that makes it unpassable terrain because that is considered unique. 

Lighting

The Warhammer Universe is usually known for its Grim Dark & Gritty Style, right now the game is way too bright and nice looking. There needs severe tweaks to lighting to give it back the style of what Total War Warhammer 1 had.

Animations of older Heroes

Compare the Animations of a Cathay Caster Hero to those of the Empire. Where the Cathay Caster uses cool looking magic attacks that reflect them being a caster, the Empire Wizards just swing their sword as if they lost all will to live ages ago. Not the biggest Deal, but still something i personally would love to see being changed.

I am saying this because i personally think, while apart from Battle Maps, those things would not give new Gameplay experiences, it would drastically enhance the Feeling of the Gameplay. Immersion is something that has a big impact on how one feels while playing the game, and should not be overlooked.

Hope y'all got a nice weekend. And i hope CA sees this, and atleast considers it.
