Bridge battles are going to be returning, and a new battle type called Fortress Gates will be included. Ruins on the campaign map can be raided, which will trigger a short choose-your-own-adventure style narrative that will end with a reward or a minor debuff. Ocean hazards will be present, creating some risks when travelling by sea (no naval combat, it’s still just transport based).

If they spent their time doing city admin, they’ll get one for that. That is to say, if one of your guys has murdered countless armies, they’ll get a relevant trait. Lords and generals will receive traits in the manner added by the Bretonnia DLC. Read this summary for further details.Ĭampaign map size is said to be comparable to the first Warhammer game. The vast majority of settlement types will receive more slots. While on the subject of building, settlement slot changes are coming to the sequel too. You can conquer and settle anywhere, but the factions do have preferred climates and will take penalties (growth, build times) for building outside of these. There are fewer restrictions on where factions can settle than in the first game. It is also still possible to win Total War: Warhammer 2 through sandbox conquest. Specifics about progress towards that goal aren’t really clear yet, but it will include completing quests, capturing certain areas, constructing certain buildings, and the like. The main structural change is that all factions (AI included) will be working towards their own goals with the Vortex. I played Total War: Warhammer, how is the sequel going to play differently on the campaign map?

You can read their full unit roster here. They want to get hold of the Vortex for purposes that are probably neither good nor evil, just part of the Slann’s Great and Ancient Plan™. Located in the jungles of Lustria ( Warhammer South America) and ruled over by the ancient Slann Priests (extremely powerful sorcerers who are also toads), the Lizardmen are basically grown in magical Temple cloning vats. Lizardmen: AKA Games Workshop decided a combination of Aztecs and dinosaurs would be cool (and they were right). Here’s who’ll be showing up on the battlefields of Total War: Warhammer 2. Strictly speaking I can only tell you about three of them, because Creative Assembly are still pretending one of them doesn’t exist (it’s a whole in-fiction bit).

Creative Assembly have added a narrative objective that all factions will now pursue (more on that in the Campaign section below) there’s a mystical Vortex that all of the races want to harness to their own ends. This time it’s the game’s version of the Americas (with a bit of Africa). Last time it was the Warhammer version of Europe. So what’s Total War: Warhammer 2 all about then?įour more factions (at launch, anyway always expect DLC) from the pre Age of Sigmar version of the Warhammer tabletop game, fighting it out in new parts of the world. Here’s the date it was last altered: 31 August 2017. On this page you’ll find all the details released to date about the game’s four (yes, it’s definitely four) factions, any mechanical changes confirmed by Creative Assembly, and all other miscellaneous information that I think might be of interest to Warhammer players. To that end, I’m resurrecting ‘Everything You Need to Know’.

Since it’s my sworn mission in life to write every news piece about Total War: Warhammer 2, it makes sense to have a centralised PC Invasion hub for all that information.
