My problem with 40k total war isn't the technology level, it is the scale. Either they limit it to one planet (Cadia? Vigilus?) which limits the factions and characters that they can include, or they do it on a galactic scale, but at that point: is it one battle on a tiny square battlefield to conquer a whole planet, like a city in TW:W? Do the fleets in space land to let out their troops for a similar square battlefield, same as Warhammer's ocean battles, or do they try to Battlefield Gothic the space battles? at that point your units are only used on planet battles. Maybe each planet is a region? How do you represent that on a map like TW:W does?

@@MountainEucalyptus I'm pretty sure almost every 40K game has been just one planet. DoW I is one planet (with a few regions on another planet in the same system, displayed on the same map iirc), Gladius: Relics of War, the only 40K 4X game, is set on one planet. Battlesector, the newest 40K turn-based tactics game, is set on one planet. Basically, if there is a campaign screen where you move armies around, I'm pretty sure it's been limited to one planet or at most one system (DoW II and III have campaigns across more than one planet, but it's just a series of battles with no campaign mechanics). The only exception of BfGA, but they are space-exclusive games. 40K in general has very few problems shoehorning a bunch of factions onto the same planet. While the more famous worlds (e.g., your examples, Terra, Armageddon) tend to be focused on two or three factions at most, 40k games tend to just create a scenario where multiple factions happen to be interested in the same planet. It's not too difficult or lore-breaking either, since the lore is at least partially written to justify multi-way wars in a small area. For example, Imperium is pretty much everywhere already, so any imperial faction being present in any theatre is hardly a stretch. Necron tombworlds can literally be any world (there is even precedent for Aeldari maiden worlds being tomb worlds). Any planet could have a webway gate, so that's Aeldari accounted for. Chaos cults (and by extension, Chaos demons) often slip through the cracks on Imperial worlds. Feral orks are also pretty much everywhere, and Ork Waaghs are generally pretty indiscriminate, as are hive fleets and genestealer cults. The only real difficulty is T'au, but they do have a presence on some Imperial border-worlds. It's not too difficult to imagine a Imperial border-world somewhere around the Damocles gulf with underhive chaos and genestealer cults, with a small T'au presence, that's also a Necron tombworld, is being raided by Drukhari and Corsairs through a webway gate (leaving open the possibility for craftworld reinforcements once 'crons/Chaos make their presence known), and is the next target for an imminently-arriving hive fleet.

@@MountainEucalyptus Make clusters of regions that represent planet surfaces, moons, asteroids, etc. Say they are close enough that traveling between them is so simple that you don't need to worry about it and just let the armies move like it was all one landmass. Make those places close enough to other places that you can travel between them via space ports or trade lanes or some such. These travel points serve the same purpose as mountain passes, river crossings, or other choke points on the current maps. Have big empty stretches of void that you need dedicated long range voidships to traverse and that's your oceans. Now, how you choose to display all this, especially 3d planets on a 2d map will take some doing to make it intuitive, but otherwise it's actually not that different to the current maps (I say as someone who's never played anything beyond Medieval 2).

Zooming in we saw many stealth stalk units caught in the beautiful AoE of the Rockets. Franz and Elz spotting far forward worked well here. a checkerboard would be hard due too the arch of fire on Missiles they cant suppress for PB in a prepared defense we would have range cards and stakes set out ion front of our lines. Here a Skaven Eshin foe could ambush so i would do a Trechcraven and have a small scout force retreat to have the rockets waiting.. and yeoman horse sacrifice to stem and blob foes.

ai to make ranged units stay back and just shoot seems like it should be simple to program. But I do notice in rome, shogun and medieval, if I give a second army to ai control, they send all units to charge at full speed into melee from the beginning. So their cav reaches the enemy first and gets routed. The light troops then arrive and also get routed. Ranged units try to melee and get wipe out. Finally the heavy troops arrive completely exhausted and rout too.
