Total Warhammer!

I am a huge video game fan.
I love all sorts of games but especially RPGs and strategy games.
My favorite form of strategy game is the 4x genre of civilization builder games .
An all time classic was master of Orion 2 that I played fanatically.
4 x means explore exploit expand exterminate.
These are games where you explore surrounding territory, exploit resources you find, expand your empire and exterminate your enemies while guiding an developing your civilization and learning new technologies .
RPG games involve playing the role of a character and are often set in deep fantasy settings .
RTS games are real time strategy where you have to play out an intricate complex fast paced real time chess match of sorts where you control and direct your units in a struggle against your enemy where you have to use effective tactics as you command your own army against your enemies.
Total war warhammer fuses all year genres into one.
It is a 4X RPG RTS.
Set in the dark, beautiful, deadly and terrifying warhammer fantasy setting, it is a richly and deeply realized world with an ancient history, a massive and wonderfully rendered living map - populated by several species of intelligent civilizations each of which struggling for survival and dominance.
The races currently included in the game include the vampires (and their various undead minions), the Empire (a mighty civilization of Humans inspired by the Roman Empire, with armoured warriors and black powder firearms and steam technology ), the beastmen (a savage race of bestial Minotaur like creatures), the green skins (warcrazed orcs as goblins) , Chaos (hell tainted evil humans, demons and foul monsters), bretonnia (a chivalrous feudal human kingdom of knights and their men at arms), an dwarves (stout and tenacious warriors with superior technology such as cannons and steam helicopters)
Numerous other races will be added in coming expansions such as high elves, dark elves, wood elves, lizard men , ogre kingdoms , chaos dwarves and more.
This game is astonishingly, jaw droppingly rich.
You can zoom out to see the entire world from above, or zoom in to see an individual dwarf locked in combat with an Orc and chopping it's head off .
You research technologies, explore the world, complete quests , develop the storyline, make choices in guiding your empire , found , develop and conquer cities or raze them to the ground. Lay seiges or break them. Conduct diplomacy, make alliances or trade agreements or declare war.
Each species has its own totally unique game mechanics, strategies , strengths and weaknesses , their own technologies and numerous unique units, natural friends and foes, homelands etc.
This means that it's a totally different game each time you play and playing a new race is like an entirely different game.
The game is really two games in one- the vast game of grand strategy where you conduct long and massive campaigns in search of world domination, and the action packed game of tactics where you command your armies in real time fully animated battles where you can see every single soldier, monster and warmachine as they battle your enemy's forces .
This game is massive. I have so far played well over a hundred hours, enjoyed it immensely and have barely scratched the surface.
This is almost surely the best game I have ever played.
It is rich, deep , challenging, mentally stimulating , visually beautiful, and profoundly rewarding .
And it will continue to be improved and expanded with regular updates and expansions , and it's fully modable and customizable.
So long story short , this game is amazing and if you enjoy 4x, civilization builder, RPG or RTS games, you need to play this game!
So who is playing this game ?
Who is planning to buy it?
What race are you playing or which do you plan to start with ?
I hope some of you are playing because I would love to discuss tactics , tips and strategies!
Check out the various cinematic And trailers on YouTube they are awesome !
My favorite faction is the empire (until bretonnia or high elves or wood elves become playable!) and I also love the dwarves. I have almost completed the empire and dwarf Campaigns on easy so far.

I'm waiting for all the DLC to be released and go on sale, there's a lot of races in warhammer and I don't feel like giving CA £200 for one fucking game.
