It would be great if you could pay off factions to break alliances/trade agreements in diplomacy, but right now there doesn't seem to be anybody scumbag enough to do that in TW:W.

From what I've read, it sounds like Skaven are good at overwhelming people with large numbers. It would be cool if they added something along the lines of Skaven Slaves only taking up 1/2 a unit slot so you could overwhelm people with little memers.

I don't know how this would work in practice though.

I liked the Empire because it started off slow while I built up a big bank and a ton of cash, then I made a few really powerful armies and obliterated everyone.

Yeah, that has been my experience as well. That said, it's not impossible to blitzkrieg, but it's dependent on your enemy being tied up by someone else.

Fortunately for me, the Empire is being ravaged by Norsca and Chaos, who I conveniently neglected to deal with, while the Dorfs are stuck in a war with the Greenskins that has lasted some 50 turns with no substantial change in their borders.

It's also why I dislike your inability to get other factions to break alliances for money. If I could have provoked a war between Middenland and the Empire, I'd have ensured that the fuckers stayed confined to Bretonnia and facing down Bordeleaux. But no, Archaon the Animechosen means Bordeleaux and Marienburg are perfectly happy to let Karl "Leouncour-killer" Franz ally with them while I get thrown by the wayside as VC.

If we could just get them to break alliances and fight each other, then we could just roll in when they've wasted their stacks on each other and claim the lot. But as it stands we have to do it the old-fashioned way.

The player can see through forests. His territories are forests- they have a "forested" quality like vampiric/chaotic corruption, all conquered provinces become heavily forested. Not forested enough = low public order. Enemies move slower in WE territory. WE get major bonus to ambush depending on forestyness

Not even remotely true. If anything the infighting is underwhelming. Your fightiness gets too low, you let them fight for a turn, hop into a city for a single turn and you're fine for 4-5 more turns until you may need to do it again.

They're basically overpowered in everything they exist in, which is probably why CA stuck to only Black Knights. You can't do Blood Dragons justice without having them smear shit all over every other unit in the game, and that isn't very interesting.
