Dark Elves, for example, besides gold, have slaves as a form of currency which in turn incentivizes aggressive play which is in line with Dark Elves personality and lore. Each faction brings a couple of distinct gameplay features to the table. Most of my time was spent playing with Dark Elves who, except looking the coolest and closest to favorite race from the original game – the vampire lords. Although in the total landmass, the two games are of similar size, the new map features a weather system and is much more varied featuring rainforests, deserts, snowy areas, plenty of water and is overall visually more appealing.Īs mentioned, the four playable races are highly different from one another and are a joy to play. Ulthuan also being the place where the Great Vortex resides. Whereas the original game featured one giant landmass, the sequel goes for 4 distinct continents over which the game takes place – Ulthuan, Naggaroth, The Southlands, and Lustria. First off, the campaign map – is probably one of the best maps ever to grace a Total War game. With that being said, let's dive into what's new. Starcraft is the most prominent example of such a model and it was and still is one of the best RTS games of all time. But in this kind of episodic sequels, you probably didn't expect much change either. The first thing to get out of the way is that if you played the original game, there is not much that's new here in terms of how the game is played. Nevermind their motivations for gaining control of the vortex, all of them are interesting in their own right, mostly due to their racial background and rich history of the Warhammer universe so fans will surely be satisfied on that front. Their motivations are nothing to write home about, Elves and Lizardmen want to safeguard and protect the Vortex, while Skaven and Dark Elves want to control it to gain more power. This is just in battles, as I don't have a huge amount of campaign experience.Where I was initially concerned by the fact that the campaign featured only 4 races I can say that they are not only completely different from one another but are also completely different from every race in the original game which is something worthy of praise. If you have two equal players, and one of them is France, France will generally take the win. We'd all like to believe that the game is balanced, and it's a great game, but in the context of battle, France just has too many advantages to compete with. I prefer to play as England, because their line infantry is the best line infantry, but the only thing that the brits have that may go toe to toe with the old guard is the coldstream, of which you can only get one, and they will still lose in a one on one. As far as the online battles go, France has advantages that other people don't have. That's a pretty big advantage, based on the fact that if you have any equal unit match-up with old guard, the old guard will win. I can't say for everything as I mostly play as Great-Britain, hope this helpsįrance's cavalry (generally) has higher stats than everyone else's cavalry, (their shooter cav can go toe to toe with heavy cav and lancers) and the old guard is the only unit that I've seen that intimidates other units. His Majesty King George III's army seems more oriented towards shooting and range combat (excellent line infantry) Seriously though, I think it depends on your play style. Now we're left with the same selection of naval units as every other faction (besides getting a selection of 6th rate frigates, rather than a corvette or brig).Īt least we have the Peninsula Campaign with the 95th Rifles and everything. Remember HMS Victory? Oh, sorry, i forgot that she existed during the 18th century, but not in the 19th century when, you know, she was in a bit of a famous battle. They have a tiny selection of units (like every faction that isn't France), and they don't have any form of naval superiority in terms of what they can recruit. I'd have liked to go with only playing Britain as i did in Empire, but in Napoleon they're not quite as fun to play as. They have the largest selection of units, the largest selection of historical (and powerful) generals - they have everything. Why anyone would choose anything but France is beyond me. 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.846 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai.
