Total War: WARHAMMER

Choose a fantasy faction and lead its armies across the Old World. Each campaign has its own starting position, goals, characters, units, and faction mechanics. On the turn-based campaign map, expand your territory, develop settlements, manage income and recruitment, and move armies to fight or defend. Faction leaders and heroes can grow stronger through skill choices, equipment, and quest chains. When armies meet, take command in real-time battles. Position troops and use flanking, terrain, battlefield magic, heroes, monsters, and flying units to overcome enemy formations.

Lead a fantasy faction across a turn-based Old World campaign, then command its armies in real-time battles with magic and monsters.
