Total War WARHAMMER II Steam

Defend your world. Destroy theirs.
Total War: WARHAMMER II is a strategy game of titanic proportions.
Choose from four unique, varied factions and wage war your way –
mounting a campaign of conquest to save or destroy a vast and vivid
fantasy world.

This is a game of two halves – one a turn-based open-world
campaign, and the other intense, tactical real-time battles across
the fantastical landscapes of the New World.

Play how you choose – delve into a deep engrossing campaign,
experience unlimited replayability and challenge the world in
multiplayer with a custom army of your favourite units. Total War:
WARHAMMER II offers hundreds of hours of gameplay and no two games
are the same.

World-Spanning Conquest
Engage in statecraft, diplomacy, exploration and build your empire,
turn by turn. Capture, build and manage teeming settlements and
recruit vast armies. Level up Legendary Lords and Heroes and arm
them with mythical weapons and armour. Negotiate alliances or
declare Total War to subjugate any that stand between you and your
goal.

Epic Real-Time Battles
Command thousands-strong legions of soldiers in intense tactical
battles. Send forth ferocious, twisted monsters, fire-breathing
dragons and harness powerful magic. Utilise military strategies,
lay ambushes, or use brute force to turn the tide of combat and
lead your forces to victory.

The second in a trilogy and sequel to the award-winning Total
War: WARHAMMER, Total War: WARHAMMER II brings players a
breath-taking new narrative campaign, set across the vast
continents of Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth and the Southlands. The
Great Vortex Campaign builds pace to culminate in a definitive and
climactic endgame, an experience unlike any other Total War title
to date.

Playing as one of 8 Legendary Lords across 4 iconic races from
the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, players must succeed in
performing a series of powerful arcane rituals in order to
stabilise or disrupt The Great Vortex, while foiling the progress
of the other races.

Each Legendary Lord has a unique geographical starting position,
and each race offers a distinctive new playstyle with unique
campaign mechanics, narrative, methods of war, armies, monsters,
Lores of Magic, legendary characters, and staggering new
battlefield army abilities.

Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total
War™ WARHAMMER II will gain access to the colossal third campaign.
Exploring a single open-world epic map covering the Old World and
the New World, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any
owned Race from both titles.

Conquer the world, together
Each of the Races in Total War™ WARHAMMER II will be playable in
single and multiplayer campaign, plus custom and multiplayer
battles. As the two Legendary Lords for each race all have their
own unique campaign start positions, you’ll be able to play a
2-player co-op campaign the same race. If you own both parts 1 and
2, you’ll be able to play in multiplayer as any of the races you
own.

The World of Total War: WARHAMMER II

Millennia ago, besieged by a Chaos invasion, a
conclave of High Elf mages forged a vast, arcane vortex. Its
purpose was to draw the Winds of Magic from the world as a sinkhole
drains an ocean, and blast the Daemonic hordes back to the Realm of
Chaos. Now the Great Vortex falters, and the world again stands at
the brink of ruin.Powerful forces move to heal the maelstrom and
avert catastrophe. Yet others seek to harness its terrible energies
for their own bitter purpose. The race is on, and the very fate of
the world will lie in the hands of the victor. Prince
Tyrion, Defender of Ulthuan, guides the High Elves in their
desperate efforts to stabilise the vortex as it roils above their
home continent.Atop his palanquin-throne, the Slann Mage-Priest
Mazdamundi directs his Lizardmen war-hosts as they surge northward
from Lustria. He, too, is intent on preventing cataclysm, though
the methods of The Old Ones must prevail. The Witch King Malekith
and his sadistic Dark Elf hordes spew forth from Naggaroth and
their labyrinthine Black Arks. He tastes great weakness in the
vortex – and great opportunity in its demise.Meanwhile the Skaven,
led by Queek Headtaker, stir in their foetid subterranean tunnels.
There they multiply unchecked and look hungrily towards the
surface, their motives obscured. The time for revelation is
nigh…Four races, four outcomes, a single goal: control of the Great
Vortex, for good or ill.
