Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. White text at the top asks: "What was your proudest achievement while working on the WARHAMMER franchise?" Below, a detailed response explains the challenge and satisfaction of designing unique Quest and Final Battles, with a highlight on "The Warden and the Paunch DLC – the Battle for Tor Yvresse." It describes overcoming code limitations to create a scripted siege battle. Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. The white text describes technical and creative challenges in designing a campaign map for a city under reconstruction. It explains how three visual versions of the city were created to reflect its state based on player actions, and how automated defences—spells and army abilities—were triggered by enemy proximity using complex scripting and invisible allied units. The designer notes that despite the unconventional methods, the system worked successfully. Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. White text at the top asks: "Which faction from the three games is your favourite & why?" The response below expresses a preference for the Dwarfs, citing their lore, demeanour, mechanics, and playstyle, with a humorous note about working on Thorek Ironbrow. A second favourite is Vampire Coast, praised for its blend of undead, gunnery, walking ships, and a giant crab.
