Mod creator need to contact the most vile creature ever to walk the earth, he who shall not be names, the unmentionable evil that lurks the depths of YouTube, the original sin of all Warhammer YouTube content creators, the man who will forever be a black stain upon the Warhammer community (at least according to Reddit, games workshop, every Warhammer article ever written, CA and probably a whole bunch more).

Arch.... Still weird to just say Arch instead of ArchWarhammer
Arch (formerly Arch warhammer before even GW went after him) is indeed quite based. I'm not massively knowledgeable on him but here goes the extent of what I know.
He is hated throughout every left leaning warhammer community. Usually accused of being alt right and anyone he associates with being the target for the rabid left.
From what I have actually seen from him he seem like a reasonable individual who is against most of the woke shit while making informative videos (sometimes warhammer lore, sometimes current events) with a degree of smug self satisfaction in his presentation.
He also participates in gaming streams with other youtubers who tend to be based.
With that out of the way he is pretty much your go to guy if you want to dump some woke bullshit from a warhammer property so that it can gain visibility. His lore videos brought many people into the hobby and his cancellation is the proverbial canary in the coal mine. However when his cancellation started and he tried to rally the other creators they shunned him instead so he became the proverbial martyr of the decline into wokeness of the warhammer community and it's businesses.
I'm not his biggest fan, generally not my prefered content to watch, but if you want some anti woke stuff, with warhammer lore, some gaming streams and with some occasional RP you should give him a shot.
He is also rather well known for a Nazi vampire the masquerade rp he did a while back. And a warhammer 40k one but that one seems to be a bit lost to youtube.
His lore videos are entertaining, if you don't mind his rehearsed accent, but frequently enough inaccurate. When he did a video with Sargon, I didn't quite agree with his takes on how to fix the TW franchise, although I'd have to rewatch to give a fair assessment.
The way CA/GW and their current pop-tart fanbase treated Arch and Volound were the nail in the coffin for me. I'll still get WH3 years later if game+dlc is discounted under $60 since SFO mod makes the game fun enough for me.
I also disagree with quite a few takes of his and know that his lore stuff is said to have inaccuracies though I don't watch them enough to point them out.
I have wh3 and I do enjoy it a lot because of what the new races bring but I am not the TW audience so I don't mind the battle focus (I would complain about stuff like sieges if I thought CA would actually do anything about it) and I'll probably also pick up the rest of it on sales and never pick up another TW game afterwards.
I think CA is gonna have a hard time after warhammer, the game is carried by diverse factions and the advantages fantasy can bring to the table. But that table is not the total war one and the total war base of the warhammer games just isn't that good.
The way everyone seems to treat Arch and such is insane to me so I enjoy the train crash. A company berating a person bringing in new blood, a community treating them like some evil deity where even the name is banned. The train is derailing and it's a glorious insanity.
Anyone who's done any research into security/privacy matters or social psychology should understand that security through obscurity is a widespread reflex that only works under very limited and expensive circumstances. Creative Assembly and Games Workshop have also been gas-lighting the shit out of their fanbases The interesting part to me, and what I think is most relevant to this community, is consoomers who apologize for dogshit companies tend to be very dense people in general. The type that get mad that their coworker makes 10% more than them rather than find a new job when the c-suite shits all over them.
Edit: Another example of denseness is in the comment section. The mod author was being tongue-in-cheek by stating "supported by CA" and some superminds just had to correct it

Very much this. And it sounds like the mod creator did everything right when it comes to reporting problems, only for CA to ignore it entirely.
As for the pro-CA shills, just go on the total war subredddit. It has (or at least had) a huge proportion of users who just jump down the throat of anyone who voices anything negative towards CA
I was on that subreddit for way too long. All I can say is that before 2016, I never came across weak-minded guilt-trips of anyone not wanting a casual-fest, with double-digit upvotes.
Shocking, because Creative Assembly put more effort into balancing and fixing the Multiplayer mode that is played by all of about 30 total people instead of the entire reason people buy the game which is the single player/coop.
I feel like TW doesn't have the monetization to make money off competitive, though. If they sold a few copies with minimal effort, ok, but to keep reaping from competitive you have to have microtransactions.
Ironically, despite Warhammer being the biggest the series has ever been its in the worst place to try to make multiplayer a thing. Because the sheer amount of unique factions with unique units makes balancing it too impossible for any real competitive to exist. Especially as many of those factions are balanced around their campaign portions, so you have to fuck with balancing them even more to make it work without the map.

No... NOOO! NOT HIM!
I know how you feel. Even the utterance of his name may summon his evil upon our world.
Alas we may need such an evil to fight the monoliths of the Warhammer world.
And on the bright(?) side he brings along his ancap cat trap along.
Hail arch and breed kibs

Hope my limited knowledge on Arch helps

People actually play multiplayer in any total war game lmao? Wut
Read any of the patch notes and you'd think it was a massive scene, wherein it takes up 75% of all their thought processes.
I've never met anyone who did it more than one time, just to realize it was shit and went back to cooping with their bois.
They want people to play more.
I feel like TW doesn't have the monetization to make money off competitive, though. If they sold a few copies with minimal effort, ok, but to keep reaping from competitive you have to have microtransactions.
They've always wanted people to play more.

Seems like a waste of time, spend 20 minutes making a roster only to roll the dice badly and be hard countered by the sweatiest tryhards kek.
