Then again, I was playing the Empire faction which relies heavily on synergy and very precise tactics to find success. While the game is very similar to previous Total War offerings, I found the learning curve to be incredibly steep. (For fans of the franchise, this is the Old World setting before the Age of Sigmar reset.) The player controls one of the many factions in the game and must use diplomacy, trade and military power to expand and secure their empire. It combines the gameplay and feel of Total War titles with the lore and setting of the Warhammer world created by Games Workshop. Total War: Warhammer is the first non-historical game from the folks at Total War.
