Is it still worth playing?
Creative Assembly's 2016 strategy game for Windows, set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe of Games Workshop and the first Total War game without a historical setting. The story follows Karl Franz, the newly elected Emperor, as he unites the Empire and faces threats from Dwarfs, Greenskins, Vampire Counts and Chaos. The campaign is played on a map of kingdoms where you manage cities and move armies, and battles and sieges are fought in real time. Each faction plays by its own rules. Magic comes in lores that vary by faction, and the Dwarfs have none, Vampire Counts and Chaos armies spread corruption, and the Greenskins have a Waaagh! system. Four factions were playable at launch, with Chaos and the Bretonnians added later. Factions built on different rules still make every campaign a different way to wage war today.
