On the campaign, they spread a corruption to adjacent provinces and rely on food to grow. Their armies are made up of numerous variations of swarming rats, long range missiles and experimental machines, such as the doomwheel and hellpit abomination. Walking talking rat people coked up on warpstone, these guys are the opposite of Lizardmen in many ways, extremely quick and weak, but attack in large numbers from all directions. This was pretty neat, and is similar in previous games to the Vampire Counts raise dead mechanic, except this time it feels more rewarding and special to receive these units. The Lizardmen also have blessed spawnings, which allows instant free recruitment of high tier units upon completing missions. It’s simple, but it is a really nice idea, to connect up regions in a chain like that, but the buffs are often so minor, it hardly makes the investment worth it.
If you do, you get buffs to the province.
The geomantic web is basically just a building, that recognises if you have the same building in another adjacent province. On the campaign, they have the geomantic web. Don’t forget that they also have floating frogs that can telepathically cast spells. It’s often pointed out that they’re basically dinosaurs riding dinosaurs, and that’s essentially what you get. They move slowly and have strong heavy infantry bolstered by extremely strong monstrous dinosaur units. The Lizardmen, one of the more outlandish races in the Warhammer Universe, are extremely thick skinned and tanky. As well as that, they have access to Black Arks, a unique naval unit, that can build armies and provide battle support in the form of bombardment spells. It’s a nice balancing act that adds more depth to the campaign, and connects your battles to your economy, so I think it’s a great implementation. On the campaign, they’re economy is built on slavery, the more slaves you gather, the more you earn at the cost of unrest in your cities. Their sole purpose in battle is to cause fear and rage amongst the enemy ranks and the more damage they do, the more powerful they become after reaching a certain threshold. The Dark Elves are in many ways the opposite of the high elves, they favour a more dark and chaotic playstyle, with hyper aggressive units such as Witch Elves and War Hydras. However both sound far more interesting than they actually play out, but we’ll get to that leter. On the campaign, they specialize in trade and diplomatic manipulation. They also depend on late game, high tier monstrous units such as Dragons and Phoenixes to cause mass damage and chaos on the battlefield. The High Elves are an orderly and defensive race, relying on spearmen and powerful archers. The four races have a wildly different aesthetic and also have a set of distinct characteristics that makes each race feel unique. The High Elves, The Dark Elves, The Lizardmen and The Skaven.
Total War: WARHAMMER II features four playable races.
