The second of three planned Total War games set in the Warhammer Universe, Total War: Warhammer 2 takes us to a completely new and greater portion of the Warhammer world, embroiled in its own struggle.

#Total war warhammer 2 skaven food series#

The Total War: Warhammer series is the first the franchise has deviated from historical routes, though that deviation has also allowed the developers to be more ambitious in what they can achieve. Combat itself is large scale, where units of soldiers move in formation, and where facing, flanking, fatigue, morale, and elevation are crucial components to consider. Armies are built outside of combat and funded by taxes rather than any resource mechanic, and are persistent through battles. Players move and manage armies and territories over a campaign map, as they expand territories and engage enemy forces. Now, the return of the Twin-Tailed comet has disturbed the fragile wards of the Vortex, inciting those who would take advantage of this weakness into action, to twist the vortex towards their own aims.ДЇor those uninitiated with Total War, the Real Time Strategy series has focused on large scale, open ended campaign play. I just felt I stumbled through the early phase of the game and eventually got going by luck as much as by careful planning and skill.The Magical Vortex, created by the Asur ages past, drains the chaotic energies that leak into the world from the malicious and eldritch realms, keeping the daemon hordes at bay. Do I focus on building the under empire to secure a good food supply? Do I focus on spending food to boost conquered cities to high level immediately so I can jump right to advanced buildings? Should I be focusing on a few tough armies or just trying to win via weight of numbers? IвЂ™ve won as Ikkit and Skrolk before but never really felt like I knew what I was doing. ThereвЂ™s so many possibilities in the early game with Skaven that I skirt analysis paralysis. But in that early game itвЂ™s basically clanrats and slaves until settlements have grown to the point of supporting advanced military buildings to get me weapon teams and arty and lots of mages. A strong start and quickly taking the provinces around your capitol makes the rest of the game SO much easier. So much of a TW:WH2 campaign is decided in the early game. I donвЂ™t disagree with your late game army comps as suggested, itвЂ™s the early game I struggle with. I donвЂ™t know what skyrie is? I have all the DLC for TW:WH2 so if itвЂ™s something in that then yeah I have it. Handmaidens are much more useful in the army than Nobles. I rename my heroes that are to sit in the field doing nothing eg: most High Elf nobles that I consider useless on the battle map. And while it is annoying having the вЂњHero not movedвЂќ notification, IвЂ™ve since found that can be turned off via notification settings. It comes down to what I need and what traits are available. I donвЂ™t think I use heroes in the field as much as I should, but they can be useful. Having High Elf Nobles in one game securing trade a nice little income for me to afford a new army. VH places a huge burden on army costs, each additional army costs an extra 15% on upkeep, on top of having increased unit upkeep costs in general. Though the game is broken when the rebels spawn with top tier troops. Having heroes present that can raise public order can help вЂњdifficultвЂќ settlements deal with rebels, at least until they can defend themselves adequately. VH requires management of public order because each settlement starts with -8 to public order. So having a hero being able to clear the Fog of War and see what is coming helps make informed choices about whether my stack can take the one, two or three stacks that might be bearing down on me. VH means the AI pushes out bigger, better quality armies faster. I do find them useful, but it may be related to the extra challenges that Very Hard (VH) Difficulty throws upon the player.
