Unlike the Civilization series, Total War offers players a chance to play out their battles well beyond a simple “Rock, paper, scissors,” roll of the dice.
For fans of Sid Meier’s Civilization series, Total War games offer various other ways to win through diplomacy and trade (though arguably less of a focus in Warhammer) making the game seem more robust and ways to win more enjoyable. The world of Warhammer makes a fantastic setting for numerous play styles and options that go well beyond simply “paint the map” by conquering everything that moves. Veteran players might find the lack of food, taxation, and fertility penalties as a simplification compared to the depth and complexity of the other Total War titles like Attila or Empire.
For someone looking to get into the series, Warhammer is perhaps the best entry point thanks to a great prologue tutorial system and a fairly streamlined campaign and settlement management system. In May, it will be almost an entire year since the release of Creative Assembly’s Total War: Warhammer, the first fantasy-based real-time strategy (RTS) game in a franchise that until now, has focussed entirely on historical time periods.
