Total War: Warhammer III
The teams at Sega, The Creative Assembly, and Games Workshop recognize when a good collaboration is working out. All parties have come together to make Total War: Warhammer into a full-blown trilogy. What does Total War: Warhammer 3 have cooked up for both Warhammer aficionados and strategy buffs alike? Shacknews recently had a chance to jump in to find out.
Total War: Warhammer 3 takes players into the Realm of Chaos, a dimension forged by malevolent magic. This sinister setting is ruled by four demonic gods: Nurgle (Plague), Slaanesh (Excess), Tzeentch (Changer of Ways), and Khorne (Blood and Slaughter). The kingdoms of Kislev and Grand Cathay are seeking to push into the Realm of Chaos, as one of the gods of the Warhammer world lays mortally wounded, to battle these demons, as the world sits on the verge of total destruction.

The campaign will take players into the four Realms of Chaos. This is where players will engage in Survival battles and they'll vary depending on which corner of the Realms of Chaos the player is inhabiting and which god they dare to confront. Each of these Survival battles will see players look to push across the map, seeking to capture Victory Points. Both sides will be able to call upon reinforcements over the course of the fight. As is the case in most of these types of strategy games, players will have various resources they'll need to manage.
As of yet, not too much is known about the third game in the Total War: Warhammer series. The game's official Steam page promises the chance to go up against the four Ruinous Powers of the Realm of Chaos. These powers are seeking to break free of their bonds and overwhelm the world, and it's up to you either to stop them or to align yourself with them in order to rain chaos upon the world
I had the chance to see these Survival Battles in action, then go hands-on and try one myself through a cloud streaming setup. I also got a chance to speak with Lead Battle Designer Jim Whitston and Game Designer James Martin about how the studio is going about crafting this experience.
To set the icy stage, Survival Battles are rare, only occurring at “significant points” in the narrative where a dramatic showdown is taking place. For Kislev, this means invading the realm of a Chaos God, no mean feat by any stretch of the imagination. This meant increasing the number of enemies involved in the battle, with numerous waves of foes to crush as you advance into a dark citadel. Early on, these enemies are much weaker than normal, in order to facilitate an epic feeling as you kill wave after wave of Daemons.

in order to increase the options players have at their disposal, the developers have added a "toolbox" of sorts to these battles. You'll earn points for taking objectives and killing daemons, which can be spent on upgrading your troops, summoning new troops entirely or even building a variety of walls and towers to slow any further waves of Daemons that pour in after you.
"We're very interested to see [players] enjoy the new game modes," Whitston and Martin say. "Having something now like Survival Battles [is something] we've always been able to do but never had the opportunity and Warhammer 3 has been the best fit so far. It's allowed us, with all of these Daemons, to get this mode in and really show off a vast amount of enemies against you to give players a good challenge.
That challenge is certainly present. While the early stages of the Survival Battle didn't give me any trouble, both times I played I was ended up unable to beat the Greater Daemon at the end. Certainly part of that is unfamiliarity with Kislev's awesome roster but it's a challenging balance of figuring out where to use your resources and how to preserve your troops throughout these lengthy fights.

Fans of the Warhammer franchise will be happy to learn that this is just scratching the surface. There will be more playable races available than the previous two games in the series. Plus, there will be other ways to play, like a new Domination mode. Look for more information on Total War: Warhammer 3's changes in the months ahead.
