That small number of races is about to increase significantly within the next two months. A subreddit for the Total War strategy game series, made by Creative Assembly. Warhammer 2 Vortex Campaign Map And Settlementsĭeveloper Creative Assembly has confirmed the Warhammer 2 Vortex campaign map will be combined with the original Total War: Warhammer Old World map for a combined campaign titled Mortal Empires. Looking down at that overland campaign map for the base game, you might notice some similarities there to real world topography - and that's absolutely not coincidence. Warhammer is essentially set on Earth in the past, while "Holy Terra" is Earth in the far future with Warhammer 40,000. Many players coming into Warhammer from the Total War franchise (rather than the other way around) didn't realize that the Old World is purposefully analogous to Europe, while the New World Vortex campaign map is essentially North and South America, Africa, and an area representing lost Atlantis.īelow is a list of every single settlement currently available in the game at launch, broken out by faction.
Note that the Skaven settlements appear as abandoned ruins to all other players and aren't on a fixed location on the map. Mortal Empires Combined Map And Settlements FactionĪn overview of the entire Warhammer 2 base Vortex campaign map (via flyby) can be seen in the video clip below for a more up close experience than the overland map. I'd rather get the janky version now than wait a few more months for the polished version, but it's worth tempering expectations.With the two campaigns combined, there will be changes in the Old and New World maps to include features from both games, like the Lizardmen's Geomantic Web, the Black Arks of the Dark Elves, and of course the Skaven ability to spread corruption in neighboring provinces. And remember, this is going to be a beta it's going to have some issues. I'm extremely eager to get my hands on it, even though I'm anticipating some long-ass turn times. I recently jumped back into Warhammer 3 and started a new Realm of Chaos campaign with Cathay, but now that I know exactly when Immortal Empires is coming out it's going to be hard to go back to the original campaign.
The game is set in Games Workshops Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe.

Some have been changed more than others, like how Norsca is now a traditional settled faction, with the outpost system being tossed out. It is part of the Total War series and the sequel to 2016s Total War: Warhammer. But you will see things like altered tech trees and new starting positions.

Naturally, factions are being slightly reworked to fit the new campaign, though these won't be the massive overhauls we've seen previously, like the big Greenskin update that dramatically changed Warhammer 2's orks, introduced new lords and added them to the Vortex campaign. Ultimately they'll mostly be pointing you towards specific settlements and tasking you with wiping out another faction, but they'll make more narrative sense. This is the biggest and the most important continent in this universe and may bear some resemblance to Europe. For the short ones, you'll have objectives specific to your legendary lord, while the long ones will be racial victory conditions. In Total War: Warhammer the entire Old World can be found on the campaign map. There will still be short and long variants, but they'll be more thematically appropriate for the faction you're controlling. Victory conditions are also being tweaked. Here's the Immortal Empires map with all the starting locations that have been announced so far.
