When attacked in the province the lord will personally lead the garrison troops to defend the region. Besides being in the battlefield, Lords can act as overseers for a specific region in the campaign. Lords come in different skill sets such as magic, combat and even a mixture of both. Each Lord carries their own bonuses that affect the entire army they are in, but once the lord dies in battle all the buffs seize to have effect.

This is because they have a lot of hitpoints while being able to deliver a lot of damage allowing them to take part in the heart of the battle. The lords are able to last a long time in a battle. Lords are only a one troop unit and are similar to the generals in the previous Total War titles, but a lot more powerful. This can result in killing a decisive victory or a horrible defeat. Once the spell has been casted, the Casters/Magicians are no longer in control of the spell making it uncontrollable. As with everything powerful it comes with a side effect. Besides supporting skills, the Casters/magicians can also be an offensive tool as they can cast very powerful spells in the battlefield. Allowing CA to introduce new mechanics to the gameplay bringing a fresh new aspect to the franchiseĬaster/magicians are a one troop unit and act as a support unit for the army by giving buffs to their army or debuffs to the enemy. Without the restrictions of historical accuracy, CA has been given a lot of creative freedom in the range of Warhammer Lore. Total War: Warhammer is a complete departure from the historical settings that Total War is known for. The engine in Total War: Warhammer is a new iteration of the last one built off of the Total War 3 engine that Total War: Attila was made from.

Total War: Warhammer is set to be the first part of a trilogy of standalone expansions, which if bought together can be combined to create what CA describe as "the largest Total War experience to date." The game features 4 playable races: the Empire, Greenskins, Dwarfs, and Vampire Counts, and is set in the old world of WHFB. SEGA announced partnership with Games Workshop in December 6 2012.
