* DevelopmentHell: The reason for Norsca's long delay for Mortal Empires and the delay for both DLC and FLC was due to not only the team being spread thin as a result of CA having several projects going on at once, but also because they overestimated their ability to get it done early, as regretfully explained [[https://www.totalwar.com/blog/warhammer-ii-development-update in the official blog post]].

* LyingCreator: Creative Assembly [[MemeAcknowledgement engaged in one of the most popular memes in Warhammer lore]] by denying all evidence that the Skaven would be in the game.
