Total War: WARHAMMER

Total War: WARHAMMER takes the series into a fantasy world where orcs, vampires and monsters live alongside humans. The player chooses a faction and leads it to dominance. The factions differ in climate and customs. The world map is divided into lands, where each faction has its own rules. Provinces require governance, otherwise riots open the way for the enemy. Lords lead armies and grow in levels, unlocking skills and items. Magic changes the battle: spells heal, hit the area or instill terror. Spells require a supply of wind magic. Wizards hit the area, but require time to prepare the spell. Heroes receive items, and some of them change the style of the entire army. Cities are developing, and provinces require order, otherwise the lands will be seized by neighbors. Monsters and siege units add unexpected twists to tactics. Sieges of cities come with ladders and battering rams. Siege troops break down the gates, and flying creatures walk around the walls from above. Dungeons and ruins provide rewards for those who take risks. Campaigns are connected by general events of the world, and additions expanded the map and nations. Later the cost of troops was adjusted. Powers negotiate and betray. Alliances do not last long, because neighbors are always ready to attack. Empires form alliances in the face of a common enemy. Neighbors attack if they see weakness. For those players who love big wars and magic, this world is suitable. Modifications change the composition of armies. The community releases modifications with new units. Updates corrected the balance. Later, additions with new factions were released.
