This makes sticking with existing units and making sure they survive battles even more important. However, your units can only be upgraded when they have accumulated enough EXP and reached the required levels, which is where the aforementioned RPG elements come in. You can also dedicate them to a specific Chaos God by granting them the chosen God’s Mark Of Chaos, which makes them even stronger. Your units can then be upgraded into more powerful units in the ranks of Chaos, rising from humble Chaos Marauders all the way to Chosen or Chaos Knights. The Champions of Chaos recruit all their units instantly, either from local provinces or as units granted via Chaos Gifts.
If you’re familiar with A Total War Saga Troy’s Amazon or horde factions, this pretty much works in a similar way. This basically adds even more RPG elements to the Total War franchise. Oh, and my personal favourite mechanic for the new Warriors Of Chaos is the Warband Upgrades.
Not only that, but by occupying a Dark Fortress in a Norscan homeland capital, you will gain the respective Norscan faction as an eternal vassal for as long as you control their homeland. They can only hold certain settlements as capitals, and these are those classified as a Dark Fortress region, most of which are located in the Chaos Wastes and the Norscan homelands. The Champions Of Chaos also don’t have a traditional settlement system. These include powerful buffs or being able to spawn select units every few turns for recruiting. These Souls can be exchanged for great power and Daemonic reinforcements as the Champions of Chaos dedicate them to their patron god or to the Undivided union of all four gods. As any of the Champions Of Chaos, winning battles grants you the Souls of your enemies. In addition, I loved the new mechanics unique to the Warriors Of Chaos, including Chaos Gifts. She has a range of powerful abilities, including Daemonshield, which grants invulnerability for a short period, the Spear of Slaupnir, which causes the ground to erupt in a straight line, and her Gaze of Khorne passive ability, which increases the base weapon damage, armour-piercing, and leadership of warriors in her area of influence. She’s the most straightforward of the four new Warriors Of Chaos Legendary Lords, as she is focused primarily on melee. I spent most of my time as Valkia The Bloody, who is aligned with bloodthirsty Khorne (you know, Blood For The Blood God and all that). It feels great not being forced to follow the main narrative of the previous Realms Of Chaos campaign, and this structure feels closer to that of a traditional Total War campaign. All you have to do as any of the Champions Of Chaos Legendary Lords is to expand, get stronger, and sacrifice enough souls to reach Zanbaijin for the final battle. There are no fixed boss battles with representatives of each Chaos God this time around, which was a frustrating and annoying mechanic. Their campaign is much less restrictive than the main one involving Ursun. Instead, they have to work to re-open the Chaos Rifts in order to reach the ancient arena-city of Zanbaijin and claim the Altar Of Souls for ultimate power. Their main objective is not to reach Ursun to help or take advantage of the Bear God. What’s interesting about them is that their Realms Of Chaos campaign narrative doesn’t follow the same one as the other main factions of Total War Warhammer 3. Each of them essentially aligns with one of the four Chaos Gods Azazel (Slaanesh), Valkia (Khorne), Festus (Nurgle) and Vilitch (Tzeentch). These include Azazel, Valkia, Festus and Vilitch. The Champions Of Chaos Lords Pack introduces four new Legendary Lords who fall under the Warriors Of Chaos banner. Meanwhile, the Champions Of Chaos adds four new Legendary Lord factions for players to sink into, who come with their own unique story mode and campaign mechanics. It not only offers more freedom but it’s also one of the biggest and most ambitious projects in the franchise, combining all three world maps from all the Total War Warhammer games. To put it simply, Immortal Empires is the sandbox mode for Total War Warhammer 3.
Only six months after the release of Total War Warhammer 3 in February 2022, Creative Assembly is finally releasing the highly-anticipated Immortal Empires beta, as well as the Champions Of Chaos Lords Pack. Genre: Real-Time Strategy, RTS, Turn-Based, Fantasy And War Platform(s): PC (Steam and Epic Games Store)
