1. Total War Warhammer 2 Map Pack
2. Warhammer Total War 2 Races

The Amethyst update has been launched for Total War: Warhammer II earlier this week with various fixes which you will be able to see at the bottom of the article.

The update contains the Amethyst Wizard, it will only be playable in the Mortal Empires campaign for Warhammer II though. The Total War team said about the wizard 'a magister morbidly obsessed, able to strip vitality directly from Lords and Heroes and, crucially, diminish the will of those fighting beneath them, turning even the bravest warriors to ignominious flight.'

The team are also doing a bit of cleaning up in regards to the updates and betas which are currently in play, in the next update they'll be looking to remove the oldest build, in the meantime they will be releasing a list of all the current betas available and how long they'll with us for.

It'd be nice to have a much grander ocean element to a total war game. Either way though im hyped. Edit: 'How big is the Total War: WARHAMMER II campaign map? The Vortex campaign map is roughly the same physical size as in the first game, though there are approximately a third more conquerable land regions in the WH2 campaign map than in WH1. Oct 20, 2017 - On October 26, Total War: Warhammer 2 is getting a free update that will stitch its campaign map together with the first game. Called Mortal Empires, this grand campaign will include all 35 playable legendary lords and a whopping 117 starting factions from both Total War.

Total War: Warhammer II is a turn-based real-time tactics video game in development by The Creative Assembly. It was announced on March 31, 2017 and was released for PC on September 28, 2017.

BackgroundEdit

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.

OverviewEdit

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.

FeaturesEdit

• 4 new continents: Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth, and the Southlands
• Play as one of 8 Legendary Lords across 4 iconic races from the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles; each Legendary Lord has a unique geographical starting position.
• 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 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.

FactionsEdit

• High Elves: Prince Tyrion, Defender of Ulthuan, guides the High Elves in their desperate efforts to stabilise the vortex as it roils above their home continent.

• Dark Elves: 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.

• Lizardmen: 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.
