So... will AI Order factions receive some sort of bonuses in the future?
Because they are utterly surrounded in every corner of the map except Cathay. So when playing as "evil" factions, it seems with each DLC there is less and less chance you'll get to fight them past a certain point in the campaign, and when playing other Order factions it seems questionable if you'll be able to find some allies, barring an endgame scenario where someone like Archaon declares war on *everyone*.
Lord of the End Times is adding 4 (!) "evil" factions and 1 order faction (Boris).
Tides of Torment was 3 against 1 (Aislinn).
Omens of Destruction was 2 Chaos factions, and 2 "neutral".
The "good" guys are getting more and more drowned out in the various Thunderdomes that have emerged over the years. Which is amazing if you like playing as the Doom Slayer... but if you want to play some campaigns where the world doesn't become a wasteland by turn 50 - it's getting tougher and tougher.
