Overview
Description

Empire: Total War transports players to the 18th century, letting them manage nations, conduct diplomacy, and expand colonies in a deep turn‑based campaign. When armies clash, the game shifts to massive real‑time battles where tactics and unit composition decide victory.

Total War: Warhammer blends a deep turn‑based campaign of statecraft with massive real‑time battles set in a richly detailed fantasy world. Lead legendary heroes like Karl Franz or Grimgor Ironhide as you command thousands of units across sprawling battlefields and shape the destiny of the Old World.
