Total War™: WARHAMMER®
The Old World echoes to the clamour of ceaseless battle. The only constant is WAR!
A fantasy strategy game of legendary proportions, Total War: WARHAMMER combines an addictive turn-based campaign of epic empire-building with explosive, colossal, real-time battles, all set in the vivid and incredible world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
Command four wholly different races: the Empire, the Dwarfs, the Vampire Counts and the Greenskins, each with their own unique characters, battlefield units and play style.
Lead your forces to war as one of eight Legendary Lords from the Warhammer Fantasy Battles World, arming them with fabled weapons, armour and deadly battle magic; hard-won in individual quest chains.
For the first time in a Total War game, harness storms of magical power to aid you in battle and take to the skies with flying creatures, from ferocious dragons and wyverns to gigantic griffons.
Hundreds of hours of gameplay await you at the dawn of a new era. Total War: WARHAMMER brings to life a world of legendary heroes, towering monsters, flying creatures, storms of magical power and regiments of nightmarish warriors.
Lead Extraordinary Races
The valiant men of the Empire, the vengeful Dwarfs, the murderous Vampire Counts and the brutal Orcs and Goblins of the Greenskin tribes. Each Race is wholly different with their own unique characters, campaign mechanics, battlefield units and play style.
Command Legendary Characters
March your forces to war as one of eight Legendary Lords from the Warhammer Fantasy Battles World, arming them with fabled weapons, armour, mounts and deadly battle magic as you uncover their tales through a series of unique narrative quest chains.
Conquer this world
The very first Total War game to feature a fantasy setting. Experience incredible depth and the freedom to conquer as you see fit across a gigantic sand-box Grand Campaign map. Crafted from a twisted magical landscape and populated with an incredible array of awesome and deadly creatures, this is your chance to experience fantasy strategy on a scale as yet unimagined.
Unleash the monsters
The battlefields of Total War: WARHAMMER echo to the swoop and roar of dragons, the bellowing of giants and the thundering hooves of monstrous cavalry. Towering beasts of both earthly and supernatural origin wade into the melee of battle, bringing death to hundreds of lesser creatures at a time.
Harness the Winds of Magic
Smite your enemies with magical storms, melt their armour, sap their fighting spirit or bolster your own forces with devastating spells that split the sky and consume the battlefield. Rally wizards, shamans and necromancers to your armies and bend titanic and unpredictable energies to your whim.
Watch the skies
Harass your enemies with Dwarfen Gyrocopters, plunge into their front-lines with terrifying Wyverns and achieve air superiority with a stunning array of flying units for the first time in a Total War game. Entirely new tactical possibilities present themselves as you deploy your winged minions in open battles and jaw-dropping sieges.
What is more, this title will go on to combine with two future standalone instalments and additional content packs to create the largest Total War experience ever. An epic trilogy of titles that will redefine fantasy strategy gaming.

Some people can't even start the game; for some people the multiplayer crashes the game, for some people vsync doesn't work, for some people steam overlay crashes the game, NVIDIA couldn't release a game ready driver in time because of issues with Total War: Warhammer - so everything seems to be in order Day 1.
I did look through the few mods that were already available, and it looked promising, they for exampel have one that shrinks the Legendary Lords down to normal sized troops - which if I was playing, I'd instantly apply.

Hi Guys,
We're looking into any issues that are popping up as quickly as we can.
Please make sure you;
-Update your drivers
-Turning off steam overlays has helped some.
-Try in offline mode.
- If you launch in windowed mode while online that may fix the issue.
- Verify your steam cache
If you are still experiencing issues, please post in the official support which is a direct line to the support team.
I'm confident I will enjoy it too, but what you describe is unforgivable in a supposedly finished product. As I said a few pages back, considering the extortionate asking price and the obvious flaws, this deserves to be pirated until they patch it to a acceptable degree.
Might be different on a proper disk (SSD) but it takes a small forever for the game to go from start up to fully loaded main menu screen, minutes actually as it does well I don't really know what the fuck it does but Shogun 2 and the later games all had that same issue.
(Auto detecting settings, authenticating and whatever the hell else might take such time.)
Once it's done that initial start though future boot-ups will be much quicker (Again, as with Shogun 2 and the others that followed after.) but yeah you might want to go and do something else while the game does that first initialization.

Granted a Day 1 or Week 1 patch will probably solve stuff like the vsync issues forcing people to play in a window, but come on, wtf are these issues even there on Day 1 on such a large scale.
AI will be tougher to fix. Unit balances they'll be able to tweak, and I'm sure mods will do a job there as well.

This is actually caused by some authentification server being hammered. Start the game in offline mode and you'll see. Should fire up / load fast and without problems. CA is already looking into it.
Likey so far. Playing as the empire. Had to turn off the steam overlay and AMD Gaming evolved bullshit app. Once I did that, game loads up quickly and no crashes.
We’ve had tens of thousands of people playing already, but we know some players had some early-doors issues when the game went live, due in part to a bit of unexpected server load and the way the game handles that. This was causing the game to hang too long on start-up and the multiplayer server list to become unresponsive.
We’ve just updated the Steam build with a hotfix to solve these issues, so we recommend you save your game, quit to desktop, and restart Steam to start the hotfix download. Check the entry for Total War: WARHAMMER in your Steam Library upon restarting – you should see a super-quick download happening (it’s only around 100Mb!). If this doesn’t happen of its own accord, you can force the download by right-clicking Total War: WARHAMMER in your Steam Library, and click properties->Local Files->Verify integrity of game cache.
Once you’ve got the hotfix, and if you want to play multiplayer, any games you see listed in red are being hosted by people who don’t yet have the hotfix, and you’ll be unable to join them. Look for listings with black text.
Thanks for bearing with us – and if you read this and haven’t yet fired up the game, you can ignore it all!
