Dec 08, 2020 Total War: Warhammer II edit edit source Eye of the Vortex - the self-contained grand campaign of Total War: Warhammer II. This campaign is quite story focused and quite fun and frantic at times. If you have a lower end PC it is advised to play this campaign as the pure amount of faction in Mortal Empires will cause massive load times.
About Total War: WARHAMMER IIMillennia 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.
The second in a trilogy and sequel to the award-winning Total War: WARHAMMER, Total War: WARHAMMER II brings players a breathtaking 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 bombardment abilities.
Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total War: WARHAMMER II will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign. Merging the landmasses of The Old World plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any owned Race from both titles.Total War Warhammer Ii Campaign Map
Let’s face it, the Beastmen haven’t gotten a lot of attention since they were included in the first Total War: Warhammer game. Their hordes mostly rampaged across the Empire’s lands, razing and pillaging on a whim. That’s about to change thanks to a free update that releases alongside The Silence & The Fury DLC. This Beastmen rework for Total War: Warhammer II is bound to make them very formidable and interesting to play again.
For starters, this horde-type faction retains three unique stances. Beastmen Ambush provides a chance at waylaying opposing armies whenever you initiate an attack. Meanwhile, using the Beast Paths lets you cross major obstacles such as mountains (similar to the Underway). Lastly, the Hidden Encampment stance allows you to recruit units and construct improvements without fear of getting attacked once you end your turn (assuming that rivals don’t discover you).
Total War: Warhammer II‘s free Beastmen rework
Part of Total War: Warhammer II‘s free Beastmen rework is the faction’s ability to establish Bloodgrounds. At the start of your campaign, you should have a Herdstone resource. Then, once you’ve captured a settlement, you’ll see the “Raise Herdstone” option which uses that resource. This will then create a Bloodground encompassing a massive, red-colored area on the campaign map. Ideally, you’d want to win battles, raid, and raze nearby settlements within the Bloodground to wreak devastation.
As devastation in a province increases, so too will your means of accruing Marks of Ruination (from a rite) and Dread. The former confers campaign-wide boons such as your unit recruitment and army capacity. The latter, meanwhile, can be used to purchase boosts such as extra unit caps and upgrades. You may also use Dread to obtain other Beastmen lords like Khazrak, Malagor, Morghur, and Taurox provided that you own the DLCs that add them. Do note that the first three require Call of the Beastmen and Taurox requires The Silence & The Fury.

Moreover, there’s another resource called Favor (emphasizing how the Beastmen don’t need gold and are marked by the Chaos Gods). As you win more battles and accrue the Favor of the Dark Gods, you’ll be able to grab items and auxiliaries that provide buffs when equipped.

Additionally, there are Research Challenges for you to consider. For instance, a tech called “The Strong Survive” increases all Dread gains by 20%. However, you’ll need to reach level 15 with three characters first. The Beastmen also gain a new generic lord option thanks to the Great Bray Shaman (from Total War Access). Oh, and Malagor the Dark Omen can finally fly.
In any case, we’ll see the Beastmen rework go live once Total War: Warhammer II‘s The Silence & The Fury DLC releases on July 14. Oh, and don’t forget that the update also includes freebies such as Thorek Ironbrow and Ogre Mercenaries.
