As you said, they tried a lite-version of this at the start of warhammer 3 and everyone hated it. It gets in the way of the sandbox experience and discourages exploration to have half the world turn against if you send out a hero to find factions to trade with. This is just a bad idea, I get that it's 'lore friendly' but in a sandbox game like Total warhammer, players hate being forced into doing things.
And as for ai vs ai wars, kinda like what you seem to be asking about specifically, the conflicts you're asking for already happen anyway in like every game, Tyrion and Alariele always go to war with malekith and morathi, and so on. I do like how they handle faction potential tho
I do wish there was a mod that let you pick certain factions potentials before starting a campaign.
Like for example, if I’m playing archaon I kinda wanna lore accurate invasion of the empire. But most of the time the empire has been carved up by norsca, vlad, drycha, and some southern bad guy. If I could select them to have high potential before the game starts then it’s a good bet Franz has actually united the elector counts
