It was a curiosity that I wanted to like as much as I liked the main games but always missed something. See Mortal Empires has been largely a mess since its release. This was essentially the addition of the TW2 factions to Total Warhammer's first campaign structure. This turned out to be a free extension, Mortal Empires, a few months after the release of Total Warhammer 2.

The series' promise, however, was a complete combination of all of these (and a potential third installment) was that they would all fit together in a super campaign, with the entire map and factions of the Warhammer fantasy world in one place. The second game in the series has a more specific, slightly smaller campaign with a completely different faction on a different map.

The series’s first full story features a campaign that was a kind of world history: different factions fight until chaos occurs, defeat (or join) the chaos invasion, and then control the world that remains. How this happened is a bit complicated because Total Warhammer is a complicated series of games. The net effect of the changes is: The Mortal Empires mega campaign, which combines both games and every faction in the series, is no longer frustrating curiosity, but the best way to play Total Warhammer. However, a year of quieter additions, like new playable lords for existing factions and important patches, has shifted the overall focus of how Total Warhammer works in a much better way. His last new faction expansion, which is arguably the most recent expansion after being released for a strategy game, was over a year ago. Creative Assemblies Total War: Warhammer franchise appeared to be quiet lately (except for a call from witch star Henry Cavill).
