The new faction in Total War: Warhammer – Realm Of The Wood Elves presents a brand new way of playing, wherein they are the ultimate glass cannons. The usual battles in Total War make use of careful planning, but even when the odds are against you, it feels like if you carefully plan your assault, you can turn the tides of a battle you had no chance to win, initially. The sheer unit variety presents some interesting new ways to take on opponents, but the Elves play-style is both its biggest draw and possibly its biggest drawback as well.
Making use of their new race-specific currency, Amber, the Wood Elves can advance their technologies, boosting their already potent armies, or to put that valuable resource towards fulfilling their victory condition of building up their home base more and more to achieve their true aims. In Total War: Warhammer – Realm Of The Wood Elves, the focus is to protect and build up their home base in preparation for a downright massive showdown between Wood Elves, and the combined hoards of the forces of Chaos and Beastmen. Where Orcs could solve their problems by throwing more Orcs at it, the Elves instead opt for their own brand of guerrilla warfare, using ancient magic, stag-mounted cavalry, and even the occasional sentient tree to help protect themselves as they advance towards their Victory Condition. Total War: Warhammer – Realm Of The Wood Elves presents a fresh gameplay experience, but the unique approach presents not only opportunity but some notable issues as well.įor those familiar with Total War, the tactics in these games are deep, and the Elves prove to be even deeper than other races. This time, the Wood Elves, led by Orion, or Treeman Durthu, aim to protect their home, presenting an interesting spin on the usual focus of conquering with other races in Total War. The number of fantastical creatures to battle both with and against only continues to grow as we receive the latest DLC for Total War: Warhammer.
