We heard a while ago that, after the release of Total War: Warhammer II, owners of the first two games would get a free update that unites both maps. Original story September 21, 2017:Creative Assembly have been clear from the start of their Total War: Warhammer series that the ultimate goal is to get all 15 of the tabletop game’s eighth edition factions on one massive map. When the Dark Elves get theirs, it surely must be Malus Darkblade. Our guesses: Ikit Claw (not Thanquol – he’s big enough to be premium DLC), Imrik, Lord Kroak. The background images on those Legendary Lords suggest Skaven, High Elves, then Lizardmen. As their developing free-DLC schedule indicates, we can also expect three more Legendary Lords and “an experiment” in the coming weeks. We still don’t know when exactly Mortal Empires is due for release, now that Total War: Warhammer II is out, it’s number one on Creative Assembly’s post-launch agenda. This explains why files from the original aren’t necessary. As we learned when it was first announced (see below), Mortal Empires is a new map, not the Old World pasted next to the new one.
The news comes from developer Michael Whelan on this Steam thread. You only need to own Total War: Warhammer on Steam – not have it installed – to get the Mortal Empires combined map. Update September 28, 2017: you won’t need the original Total War: Warhammer installed to enjoy the Mortal Empires combined map. The new map is quite the full, unaltered originals stitched together, but it’s still a massive stretch of land to conquer that should keep you busy for quite some time.
117 starting factions, 96 spells, 35 legendary lords (if you’re caught up on DLC), 295 settlements, 268 battle maps, 352 unit types and, presumably, a partridge in a pear tree. Mortal Empires will be available October 26, and Creative Assembly have gone ahead and done the math on how big the new campaign will be.
Today they unveiled precisely what the expanded map will look like, including the starting position of all its legendary lords. We’d known all that for some time, but Creative Assembly have spent the past few days revealing further details on the new add-on.
