Total War: WARHAMMER II - Norsca DLC Norsca: a barren, inhospitable peninsula to the north of the Old World. Here dwell ferocious tribes of warriors, hardened by the relentless blizzards, the icy tundra and the monstrous denizens of this accursed land. Fanatical servants of the dark gods, they will stop at nothing to prove their primal might, in a relentless hunt for worthy foes and fresh raiding grounds.
The Old World beckons, ripe for the plunder. Will you heed its call? The Norsca Race Pack adds two new playable factions to Total War™: WARHAMMER®, with new Legendary Lords, unique units, quests and mechanics: Choose one of two epic Legendary Lords, with unique start positions and quest chains, to lead your campaign: Wulfrik, the wanderer without fear. Only the deadliest prey will sate his lust for the hunt.
Throgg, the mountainous Troll King. Possessed of an intelligence rare in his vile kind, he is hell-bent on bringing the frigid horrors of Norsca to the world. Embark on brand new ‘Monster Hunt’ quests and subjugate unique, deadly quarries, forcing them to fight among your ranks.
Command brand new units such as monstrous War Mammoths, savage Skinwolves and the mysterious Fimir to bring your foes to heel. Construct monoliths to honour the ancient dark gods, and receive their blessings to further your conquest. Shortly after Total War: WARHAMMER II launches, a gigantic free update will become available for owners of both Total War: WARHAMMER and its sequel.
This update introduces a vast, combined campaign map, spanning the Old World and the New. Players may embark on campaigns as any Race from both base games plus any owned DLC, including Norsca. Featuring four iconic new races from the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world – the High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, and a fourth yet to be revealed – players will battle across enchanted isles, bleak hinterlands, treacherous swamps and perilous jungles.
In a Total War campaign like no other, players will struggle for dominion over the ailing Great Vortex that has swirled for millennia above the elven homeland of Ulthuan. Performing a series of arcane rituals, each race must save or disrupt the Vortex according to their motivations – a struggle culminating in a cataclysmic endgame. Territorial conquest is no longer enough… this is a race for control that will define the fate of the world! Total War: WARHAMMER II will offer hundreds of hours of immersive gameplay in this epic new campaign.
Furthermore, a huge combined campaign map featuring the old and new world regions will be available for free shortly after release to players who own both Total War: WARHAMMER I & II. Features: A new style of narrative campaign in which players race against the other factions to save or destroy the Great Vortex while thwarting competing Races. Players will build and expand empires, raise armies, develop cities and fight vivid grand-scale battles in the classic Total War style.
This campaign is set across four mysterious new continents: Ulthuan Naggaroth The Southlands Lustria Four new playable races, each with unique campaign mechanics and army rosters of Legendary Lords, Heroes, spellcasters, troops, monsters and siege weapons: High Elves Dark Elves Lizardmen And a fourth, yet to be revealed… A suite of thrilling new campaign and battle features inspired by the Warhammer lore. Additionally, a vast combined campaign map covering the geographic areas of the first and second parts of the trilogy. Players will be able to embark on campaigns as any owned, playable race from both games.
This will be available for free shortly after launch for owners of both games.
An innovative, original structure built on the solid foundations of the first game has exceedingly succeeded. Who was afraid that at second Warhammer developers will lose their breath, was terribly mistaken. [Issue#279]
A worthy sequel, visually gorgeous and strategically engaging, that could have been even better if CA embraced a stronger drive to innovate.
It's easily one of the best Total War experiences yet, which in turn makes it one of the best RTS games available. [Issue#194, p.73]
Total War: Warhammer 2 is an amazing combination of Warhammer and Total War for all of us to enjoy for a long time.
The areas in which Total War: Warhammer 2 improves on its formula are plentiful, resulting in one best put together Total War games to be released. While the fantastical Warhammer setting won’t appeal to some, particularly a few of those who’ve enjoyed Total War’s previous historical releases and were expecting more, it’s wonderful to see the wonderful world of Warhammer come to love so expertly and vividly. If you’ve played and enjoyed Total War: Warhammer 1, then it’s a near given that you’ll love what’s on offer here.
The problem of Warhammer II’s campaign is that it’s not a grand-campaign. Traditionally, numerical Total Wars offered an expansionist gameplay, while intermediate games experimented with things like special victory conditions and new mechanics – and stuff that works best found its way into next numerical installation. With Warhammer II, Creative Assembley eschews that practice in favor of from drawing board straight to the game approach. [Issue#224, p.64]
I’d like to see more of what worked in the first Total Warhammer, though. Less world-spanning disaster, more localized enmities and backroom politicking. I don’t just want factions to play differently in pursuit of the same goal—I want them to be different. That’s undoubtedly a hard trick to pull off, especially when it comes to balancing strengths and weaknesses, but I think it made Total Warhammer a much stronger game than this more traditional sequel.
