More Tier 4 changes coming to help resolve stability issues in these higher level areas:

The epic battle between the forces of Order and Destruction rages on across the lands. Dark Elf against High Elf, Dwarfs pitted against their age old enemy the Greenskins, and the upstart Humans of Order wage a bitter battle against the Forces of Chaos.

The Hearld gives us an interesting article today about favorite places in WAR.

Enjoy! The Warhammer World is a vast and varied place filled with dark dungeons, lofty peaks, grim fortresses, blood-soaked plains and dense forests. From the staggering natural beauty of Ulthuan to the ordered symmetry of Dwarf mines and the riotously haphazard Orcish warcamps, every zone is unique. No doubt you have your own favorite places. Perhaps you saw it unfold before you for the first time and your jaw dropped, perhaps it was the site of your favorite battle or you just really, really liked the way things were laid out. Everyone has their own reasons for liking a place.

We thought we'd share ours with you. Maybe you'll see familiar places in a new way or maybe you'll be tempted to put your wandering boots on and savor the scenery in a place you've never been to before. So now, in no particular order, here are a handful of places in-game that are special to our staff. We'd love to hear yours.

Check out the full article after the jump or tell us about your favorite places in the forum !
