Developer's goals

[Nishka]

So, what dev's are aiming for? Old-style-before-shitty-patches WAR? Or the most accurate copy of 1.4.8?
Will the game have keep guards? Keep claiming system? Resource carriers? ORVR or lakes? Siege towers, normal skavens?

Currently they are aiming to get Tier 1 (Empire/Chaos) working as it was in 1.4.8. They have most of the Tier 1 RVR lake working in this region (including guards).

The stated aim in other threads was to return WAR to the state it was in 1.4.8 when the server shut down; therefore your questions about keeps, resource carriers, towers etc would be a yes. Unsure what you mean by normal Skaven?
