Naturally, though, with the scale and scope of the game increasing in this way, some features (such as certain minor factions) are going to have to be cut. Given how expansive this new map appears to be, we can only imagine how huge the final campaign will be. This is the third of five planned Warhammer grand campaigns, with a fourth coming in the third game, and a fifth and final campaign taking place across the maps of all three entries in the planned series.

It's also worth noting that the Vortex-driven story of the last campaign is being put to one side and will focus instead on classic Total War sandbox play.

As a result of those numbers, expect longer waits between turns while the computer moves around all those AI-controlled armies. The map will have a staggering number of settlements (295, in fact) and an equally impressive 117 starting factions. Beyond that, nothing is set in stone but personally, we'd love to do it.Īs mentioned above, you'll need to own both Total War: Warhammer games to enjoy Mortal Empires, although you won't need to have both games installed (just the second). Is there any chance, even a small one, of seeing a Total War: Warhammer 40K game in the future?Īt the moment we're flat out on all this additional content for Warhammer II and finishing this trilogy with a bang. There's also the chance for players to recreate them in the Custom Battle mode too. Through the course of a campaign you often find yourself coming up against another faction and almost recreating these battles there yourself. In the Quest Battles there are often references to these great battles. Will there ever be re-enactments of the great battles from Warhammer Lore? You'd need to sink in perhaps thousands of hours! We haven't calculated as there are so many different ways of playing the game, but it's a ridiculous amount of time.

If I had to pick one though, I'd have to pick Skaven - I just love the voiceovers on them.Įven though it's not even developed fully yet - have you ever calculated on how much time would be needed to complete campaign + total map domination with every single warlord available? Jim: In tabletop I play as Vampire Counts and Skaven, so I'm naturally drawn to them in Mortal Empires. Ian: To be honest whichever faction I'm playing as at the time tends to be my favourite. The second instalment had some interesting game mechanics - will the Mortal Empires expansion see some updates to the game itself?Īlongside the release of Mortal Empires will be some tweaks to the Vortex campaign in Warhammer II.īe honest - what is your favourite faction and faction leader?
