At present, a couple of things make it feel like it came out short of a few playtests.Ī passing visit to my good friends, the Border Princes. I think Mortal Empires will be magnificent, eventually. I understand the desire on Creative Assembly’s part to do this: a combined campaign (ultimately of all three Warhammer titles) has been a long-term promise, it boosts player and press interest in the game a few weeks after release, and, let’s face it, all of us Warhammer players were eager for the return of the older factions. It was released on 26 October, basically one month after Total War: Warhammer 2.

Those problems are all solvable with time, and, in retrospect, perhaps that’s what Mortal Empires needed. Mortal Empires is an ambitious project, but at the moment some pretty weighty issues are holding it back. I’ve had a press copy a little longer than that, and spent some time with a fresh Skarsnik campaign. The Mortal Empires campaign for Total War: Warhammer 2, which combines (most of) the map space from both titles and reintroduces the playable factions from the first game, came out last week.
