Once you get past the lightly-armored Chaos Marauders (and you’ll want to, given that they’re a bunch of shirtless viking men capable of taking exactly zero punishment) you’ll get to the iconic Chosen, some Chaos Spawn, maybe a Hell Chariot or two for funsies. Enemies can retake territory fairly easily, losing an army is devastating (since you lose all your infrastructure with it), and you don’t really ever need to engage in diplomacy and/or economy.Īrmy Roster: With only one artillery piece and zero ranged units outside of skirmish cavalry, it’s abundantly clear that Chaos’ focus is around their heavily armored infantry and powerful, terror-inducing monsters. While this sounds fun in theory, it offers three large problems that make them sort of a pain. Income is mostly derived from raiding and razing enemy territory, since it doesn’t really make sense for the heralds of doom to settle down and hang out in the towns they burn to the ground. Instead of capturing and holding territory, each individual army is a settlement unto itself. Lore: The End Times are here, and with them comes the dark forces of Chaos, pouring out of the Northern Wastes! Servants of the four dark gods come to bring ruin upon the world and upon all life! You know those dudes who look like they’re straight off an 80s metal album? These are those guys.Ĭampaign Mechanics: The Warriors of Chaos are a Horde faction, which is a mechanic I’m to understand was introduced in Total War: Atilla. Warriors of Chaos From what I understand, there are at least four other types of Chaos out there if mere "Warriors" aren't enough to suit your fancy
This list is also going to be split up into multiple parts, because no one should want to read all of the words I wrote about this game in a single, unbroken chunk. This inquiry is done as objectively and correctly as possible based on my entirely subjective opinion and my half-assed knowledge of Warhammer Fantasy lore gleaned from staring at a wiki for multiple hours. Total Warhammer is probably on the far end of this, with each individual faction playing significantly differently from one another on both the strategic map and in tactical battles, and that’s part of the reason why it’s currently consumed upwards of 200 hours of my life. It’s no secret that I’m generally a sucker for strategy games, especially of the turn-based variety, and one of my favorite things about the genre is when there are varied and interesting faction choices to influence different strategies and playstyles. That, of course, comes by scientifically ranking all fifteen factions currently in Total War: Warhammer II. Thus, while I’ve written extensively about my dangerous Monster Hunter habit, I figure it’s time to get some #content out of the best game I played last year that didn’t come out last year. Backlog? What even is that? Oh, I guess I did play Bloodstained, but other than saying fairly definitively that game is "hella good" I don't really have much to add. Because I’ve put myself down a dark path, the games I’m currently playing the most in this current year are Monster Hunter World’s Iceborne expansion, and my continual Total Warhammer II habit.
I played about an hour of Ancestors Legacy and it seemed pretty cool, but in that hour I just ended up going back to Total War
