Mortal Empires Total Warhammer is a campaign in Total War: Warhammer 2 that combines the maps and playable content from both Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer 2, allowing players to embark on colossal new campaigns playing as any Legendary Lord from both games. This combined campaign enables players to experience the geography and gameplay of both games in a single, expansive campaign, with access to all factions, races, and Lords from the Total War: Warhammer series.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
- How does Mortal Empires work? Mortal Empires works by combining the maps of the first two Total War: Warhammer games, allowing players to play as any race, faction, and Lord from those games, with the requirement that players must own both of the first two games to play this campaign.
- Is Mortal Empires the same as Warhammer 1? No, Mortal Empires is a large campaign in Total War: Warhammer II which combines the playable content from both Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II, offering a distinct gaming experience.
- What is the difference between Mortal Empires and the Vortex campaign? The main difference is that the Vortex remains on the map visually in Mortal Empires, but the race-for-control of the Vortex as featured in the Eye of the Vortex campaign will not be present, with each Legendary Lord having their own victory conditions and objectives.
Requirements and Compatibility
- Do you need Total War: WARHAMMER installed to play Mortal Empires? Yes, you need the first TWW game to play the Mortal Empires campaign, and even then, if you don’t have certain DLCs from the first game, you can’t play as all of the factions in that DLC.
- Can I play Immortal Empires if I only own Warhammer 3? Previously, you had to own all three Total War: WARHAMMER games to access Immortal Empires, but now Immortal Empires is available to all WARHAMMER III owners, regardless of whether they own the other titles.
- Do I need all 3 Total War: Warhammer games? No, you only need to have Warhammer III installed to be able to play the Immortal Empires campaign, which includes all the WH I and WH II factions.
Gameplay and Campaigns
- Can you lose the Vortex campaign? Yes, you can lose the campaign if you decide not to fight (or lose) the Vortex battle when the AI completes their final ritual.
- Does Chaos invade in Mortal Empires? Yes, the Chaos Invasion is an end-game event that occurs in The Old World and Mortal Empires campaigns, involving the forces of Chaos under Archaon, descending south to attack most other races.
- What is the difference between Eye of the Vortex and Mortal Empires? The Vortex campaign is narrated and has a specific end goal for each faction/race, together with Vortex specific mechanics, while Mortal Empires is a sandbox game where players aim to defeat other factions.
Total War: Warhammer Series
- Do I need Total War: Warhammer 1 and 2 to play 3? Without the previous games, you will only have the Warhammer 3 race, and as far as I am aware, all these races will be unplayable in Warhammer 3 unless you own the previous games/DLC.
- Is Total War Immortal Empires good? While expansive and gorgeous as a map, Immortal Empires still doesn’t feel quite as narratively rich as 2’s Mortal Empires, largely due to noticeable placeholders for upcoming expansions.
- Do you need the first game for Total War: Warhammer 2? No – as long as Total WAR: WARHAMMER is in your Steam library, you don’t need to have it installed in order to play the Mortal Empires campaign in Total War: WARHAMMER II.
Additional Information
- Can I uninstall Warhammer 1 and 2? Yes, you can, you don’t need it installed at all for Warhammer 3, although you may want to keep it installed for now in case you don’t enjoy Warhammer 3.
- Can Warhammer 1 play with Warhammer 2? In Total War: Warhammer, players can use any faction that they own from the first game or first game DLC, and in Total War: Warhammer II, players can use any faction that they own from the first or second game, or first/second game DLC.
- Should I play Realm of Chaos before Immortal Empires? A playthrough of the Lost God and Realm of Chaos should be your go-to, both for learning the game and to understand the lore, as it will take a long time to play through every option in Immortal Empires, and a core understanding of the game will help with the more challenging campaigns.
