Races of the Old World – command The Empire in Total War: WARHAMMER
There are four formidable races in Total War: WARHAMMER, each with its own radically different play style, units, characteristics and abilities. Will you enter battle as The Empire, Dwarfs, Greenskins, or Vampire Counts?
The Empire represents the last bastion of mankind. Ever since Sigmar, the eternal patron god and founder of The Empire, first united the primitive tribes of men, the nation has had to fight for its very survival with constant vigilance. The Empire is a beacon for all human learning and culture in a dangerous world, its light surrounded on all sides by dark forces that constantly threaten to extinguish it.
The newly-elected Emperor Karl Franz is heralded by his followers as the heir of Sigmar. In him they see a man worthy of wielding both the Warhammer and the title of Emperor that the mighty warrior-god once held. Someone who can unify the Empire and finally vanquish its enemies both within and without.
The human confederacy of the Empire is the most balanced faction, and the perfect gateway for veterans of Total War transitioning into the fantasy world of Total War: WARHAMMER.
Watch the trailer below for a closer look at the valiant men of The Empire. To learn more about the races, regions and perils of the Old World, visit the Total War: WARHAMMER minisite.
