I just genuinely think the second game represents an improved design ethos over the first. With this part of the list, we also move from the first game's factions to the second, and I think it's worth pointing out that I didn't intentionally start ranking them this way. Certainly, having 30+ years of Warhammer Fantasy to draw upon helps, but everything I've seen of Three Kingdoms suggests it draws similar lessons with faction mechanics even as it is more bound by "Historical Realism." While other recent favorites like Age of Wonders: Planetfall offer a variety of factions and playstyles, Total War is probably the only strategy franchise with the resources to get away with something like this at this scale. One of the main reasons why I want to do this, outside of the sheer self-indulgence of justifying 200+ hours spent with my favorite strategy game in years, is to put a spotlight on the insane amount of work put into this game to make each of these factions distinctive from one another. Oh hey I'm back again with my favorite "Writing exercise disguised as a listicle disguised as a blog that people theoretically might want to read" by ranking the factions of Creative Assembly's Total War: Warhammer II from worst to best in the most scientific of fashions. will probably not be purchasing any of the Shadow Hearts games anytime soon. In unrelated news, I made the mistake of looking up prices for a bunch of semi-obscure PS2 JRPGs thanks to Giant Bomb's recent episode of Demo Derby. Part 1 is here if you want to see all that sweet sweet faction ranking from the top. However, since monogod Chaos factions rarely get along, this can sometimes be an issue as well.Ranking of Factions: Total War Warhammer II (part 2) Note: All factions/leaders in Total War: Warhammer III are able to recruit units from other factions that they’ve formed alliances with due to the outposts mechanic.
The Tzeentchian faction led by Kairos Fateweaver is probably the strongest contender that I would recommend due to the barrier perks, but do try to avoid long melee engagements because your units will still get beat down. Tzeentch – Heavy focus on ranged combat and spellcasting units are protected by barriers (i.e., armor that gets restored over time as long as the unit isn’t taking damage).Nurgle – Pure melee with spellcasting options (including healing) high HP and defense, but egregiously slow movement speed.Slaanesh – Pure melee with spellcasting options high armor-piercing but low defenses means that units have to flank or they’d take heavy losses in straight-up bouts.Khorne – Pure melee with strong/armored infantry has no magic options or ranged units (barring an artillery piece).
