I still remember my first-ever Total Warhammer campaign, where I sent two dwarf armies far into the north to take the last fortress I needed for victory, and ran into the vestiges of the Chaos forces, creating a two versus two battle in the Moria-like underways. So Total War wants a key moment, a Waterloo, where the biggest and best of all sides clash in one final battle and then the credits roll. The reasoning for reducing the length of the campaign is simple: it's not very entertaining to know you've won a campaign dozens of hours before the game acknowledges your victory, as was the case in older Total War games and most grand strategy games. Of all the attempts to clip the length of a Total War campaign, this is arguably the most successful because it doesn't just lower the amount of turns it takes to hit a victory screen, it also lowers the amount of time those turns take because you're dealing with far fewer cities and therefore armies (in a setting-appropriate manner, no less). As they're hordes, they raze every city they capture. Meanwhile, the Chaos hordes start attacking, the bulk of which come from the northeast into the center of Empire lands, but with offshoots attacking the coastlines and heading south into dwarf and greenskin territory.
Chaos corruption increases globally, meaning that provinces require a bit more work to stop them from rebelling-a little economic pressure to slow down imperial expansion. It works like this: around 75 turns into a campaign, the Chaos invasion starts.
Warhammer 3 – Everyone fights over four daemonic souls so they can defeat the daemon Be'lakor in a climactic battle. Three Kingdoms – The most powerful factions are declared the Three Kingdoms, and then they fight. Warhammer 2 – Factions race to control the Great Vortex by performing rituals, which also spawn Chaos armies. Warhammer – A massive Chaos invasion attacks and destroys whatever provinces it can while raising global corruption. Shogun 2 – Your rivals create a superfaction intent on destroying you.Īttila – Horde migrations and climate change force everyone to fight over fertile land.
