As of the current steam xmas sale, if you own Warhammer 3 - - this is the most price per quality and quantity content ratio you will get probably ever. Highly reccomended.

TL;DR: This game, while limited in its scope, was the best start this franchise could hope to ask for. It is well worth it it on its own, but provides great assets for anyone owning the later titles through their combined maps. I highly recommend acquiring this game on sale. I was already a Total War veteran when this game out, but this was my first real foray into Warhammer as an IP, and what an introduction this was. At launch, the game was expansive with possibility, and quite limited compared to how it eventually evolved. As someone who was largely unfamiliar with the franchise, starting more zoomed in and then expanding out was definitely the way to go, and the location and factions that they chose to start with were by far the best for that task. The Empire remains my go to faction to play with. They have a wide roster and really represent that human "protagonist" perspective well. The Vampire Counts are a good foil to The Empire as a growing opposition on their borders. This faction is a very classical evil playthrough with a strong snowballing effect. The Dwarfs are really great at digging in and playing tall, ironically. They are the other "protagonist" sort of faction you start with. They fill that role well, but in a more defensive, isolationist style. They kind of have to be this way given that the final of the four starter factions, The Greenskins, are parked right on their doorsteps. The Greenskins are, of the lot, the ultimate "total war" faction, meaning that they are all about just ripping and tearing through your enemies until it is done. There's a lot of humor and wackiness to be found, but they are certainly a threat that you shouldn't underestimate if you're playing as one of the other factions. These four core factions play off each other well, but form a sort of two main sides to the campaign. All of them inevitably face an "end game" crisis. Whether or not that crisis fully delivers against your faction mostly depends on who you're playing as and how well you and the other factions have been building up in the meantime. While I will say that all of the many DLC/FreeLC factions added over the years enriched the diversity of the core gameplay, very little made this crisis more challenging to face say by the way of being distracted when it starts. Chaos can wreck your game...but it can also get halted off screen by another faction while you're busy doing other stuff. Later titles did a much better job of heightening the threat of Chaos; but, for what it is worth, even with some flaws, I have some very fond memories of both running from and chasing down Chaos hordes. Some of my favorite memories of playing this game are when my back was up against the wall and I was just trying to survive wave after wave. This game is, in my opinion, at its most fun in these sorts of moments. All in all, this was a strong start to the franchise, and remains a crucial component to the Immortal Empires map going forward. The price is high from a DLC perspective, looking to use this content in the later games. As a solo game, it has been surpassed in a lot of ways by other titles; however, there remains plenty that's worthwhile here. That all being said, I can't recommend paying full price. I do recommend this title, but I recommend doing so on sale. It goes on sale fairly often, so if you're just dipping your toes in you shouldn't have too long to wait.

Hardest 4X RTS I've ever played, even easy mode challenged me, I was constantly getting attacked from 4 different directions, which forced me to dance on the edge of a knife between fielding enough armies to maintain a semi stable border while being flat broke due to army upkeep, or use treaties to alieviate some attrition and risk a smaller force to generate enough funds to upgrade my economy, so I can maintain more armies, and then chaos invades. Seriously after beating the big bad, it took like another 100 turns to beat the game, because the minor factions from across the sea, or somewhere over the mountains kept assaulting my territory and thus the empire was not technically "united". it took almost 30 hours to finish a campaign for one faction on easy, when auto resolve favors you. I cant imagine what this would be like on harder difficulties with a less reliable auto resolve. The learning curve for this game is steep compared to others and I needed to watch youtube videos to understand how to play the game. It is a fun time, but it will eat you rim up.

Great game Positive + Strategy game on a massive level + A lot depth, mechanics and ways to play it. + Each faction adds their own unique twist, abilities and monsters Negative - Performance isn't great, game lags, slows down, even though I am way above recommended requirements - Loading takes too much time

solid game play, large map which is shrunk down in later installments for this particular location... every unit and character feels special.
