Huge mutated rats, necrosphynx, Carnotaurs and Stegadons (yes, dinosaurs) giants, dragons and many more. For a start, there are loads of different types of monstrous unit in the game. I love the other total war games, but sometimes things feel a bit… samey? You have to go off the technology of the time period and the armies can only give you very slight variations on basically the same unit types. In addition to this though, there are new categories of units and endless possibilities as a result, which really does keep things fresh. When it comes to battles, there’s still that same rock, paper, scissors element swords are good against pikemen, pikemen are good against cavalry etc. You aren’t confined to a real time period and so everything just feels so much more creative. Accessible to new players, a fresh experience for existing onesįor anyone new to total war, Warhammer is as good a game to start with as any, though you may find there’s something missing when the monstrous and flying units aren’t at your disposal in other games! If you’re a fan of fantasy especially, it could be that Warhammer Total War offers you that special something.įor existing Total War players, you get similar dynamics in terms of expansion, trade, diplomacy, resource management and building progression but this all takes place in a fantasy world with all the scope this brings. If you didn’t know, Warhammer is a tabletop game that has been around for decades (not to be confused with its older brother, Warhammer 40K – set in the same universe) with army guides and novels of varying quality published in Warhammer’s Black Library. If you are interested though, there is a massive amount of history, politics and culture to learn about. If you’re a casual player who isn’t interested in the lore, the good news is you can still really enjoy Total Warhammer and there are bits of the overarching history and of course faction identities drip fed to you in just the right quantity. Here are 10 reasons you might want to give Warhammer Total War a try. For me, the collaboration with Games Workshop to take a series traditionally based on real history into the fantasy realm was a masterstroke. The Total War series, if you’re unfamiliar, combines in depth management of your region/kingdom/empire with real time battles, which are quite frankly awesome to play, giving you that feeling of being an army general. I went from RTS (real time strategy) to turn based strategy with Civ Revolution before moving onto Medieval II Total War and Empire Total War. I’m a big fan of empire building strategy games, starting first with Age of Empires II when I was around 8 yrs old, followed by many others.
