This is, without a doubt, the best looking, and very possibly the largest map in a Total War game so far. The relative fractured nature of this map keeps many factions separated and isolated from one another, meaning a powerful faction on continent will be unlikely to interact with those on other continents, barring border skirmishes.Ī lot also needs to be said about the wonderful visual design of the map, as one explores the lush forests, scorched deserts, blasted wastes, and temperate lands, there’s a fantastic sense of distinct local and exploration. While Total War: Warhammer 1 focused on the Old World portion of the Warhammer Fantasy world, the sequel focuses on the New World, including a rough fantastical equivalent of North and South America, Africa, and a large ringed island that sits between them. The second of three planned Total War games set in the Warhammer Universe, Total War: Warhammer 2 takes us to a completely new and greater portion of the Warhammer world, embroiled in its own struggle. The Total War: Warhammer series is the first the franchise has deviated from historical routes, though that deviation has also allowed the developers to be more ambitious in what they can achieve.
Combat itself is large scale, where units of soldiers move in formation, and where facing, flanking, fatigue, morale, and elevation are crucial components to consider. Armies are built outside of combat and funded by taxes rather than any resource mechanic, and are persistent through battles. Players move and manage armies and territories over a campaign map, as they expand territories and engage enemy forces. Now, the return of the Twin-Tailed comet has disturbed the fragile wards of the Vortex, inciting those who would take advantage of this weakness into action, to twist the vortex towards their own aims.įor those uninitiated with Total War, the Real Time Strategy series has focused on large scale, open ended campaign play. The Magical Vortex, created by the Asur ages past, drains the chaotic energies that leak into the world from the malicious and eldritch realms, keeping the daemon hordes at bay.
