Kislev and Grand Kathay have always existed within the Warhammer lore, all the way back to the times of the first edition of the tabletop wargame and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. After two games, we’ve pretty much run out of “good” (the quotation marks are always mandatory in Warhammer) factions, and Creative Assembly actually had to go scrape the bottom of the archives to find something to work with. That being said, this is the nature of the beast. Perhaps there is room to say that the playable roster is a bit unbalanced, with five chaos factions, two human factions, and the Ogres working as a wildcard (while crude and monstrous, Warhammer’s ogres tend to be on the neutral side of things). It also works as an excellent introduction for the factions included in the game, Kislev, Grand Cathay, the five flavors of Chaos (Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and the undivided Daemons of Chaos), and the Ogre Kingdoms. The story itself is interesting and original, fitting very well in the Warhammer Universe as the Vortex campaign did in the second game of the series. If you’d rather have a less focused approach, you can aim for a domination victory, but this feels more like an afterthought, and I wouldn’t advise it unless you want to challenge yourself and don’t really care for the story. While I did not rush it, it took me exactly 200 turns to complete it, which translates into roughly a week playing every night. The focused nature of the main campaign should not trick you into believing that it is short. It has its story and characters, and it’s likely one of the most extensive and enjoyable “tutorials” I’ve played in a while.

I actually won’t spoil the story, because that would reduce your enjoyment of the prologue, which is actually a mini-campaign in its own right that will likely last you a full evening. Similar to its nearest predecessor, Total War: Warhammer III’s main campaign is centered around a specific narrative scenario that requires the players to focus on precise victory conditions.
Creative Assembly is finally about to release Total War: Warhammer III, concluding a trilogy that provided dedicated fans with nearly six years of non-stop entertainment, with support and new releases for the first two games continuing almost uninterrupted.
