It is a sequel to ''[[Total War: Warhammer]]'', and is followed by ''[[Total War: Warhammer III]]''. The game introduces six new playable races: [[High Elves]], [[Lizardmen]], [[Dark Elves]], [[Skaven]], [[Tomb Kings]] and [[Vampire Coast]]. There are also two new [[campaigns]] called [[Eye of the Vortex]] and [[Mortal Empires]], as well as many other new features. ''Total War: Warhammer II'' launched worldwide on September 28th, 2017 (PC) and November 20th, 2018 (MacOS and Linux). ==Background== Millennia ago, besieged by a Chaos invasion, a conclave of High Elf mages forged a vast, arcane vortex. Its purpose was to draw the Winds of Magic from the world as a sinkhole drains an ocean, and blast the Daemonic hordes back to the Realm of Chaos. Now the Great Vortex falters, and the world again stands at the brink of ruin. Powerful forces move to heal the maelstrom and avert catastrophe. Yet others seek to harness its terrible energies for their own bitter purpose. The race is on, and the very fate of the world will lie in the hands of the victor. Prince [[Tyrion]], Defender of [[Ulthuan]], guides the High Elves in their desperate efforts to stabilise the vortex as it roils above their home continent. Atop his palanquin-throne, the [[Slann Mage-Priest]] [[Mazdamundi]] directs his Lizardmen war-hosts as they surge northward from [[Lustria]]. He, too, is intent on preventing cataclysm, though the methods of The Old Ones must prevail. The Witch King [[Malekith]] and his sadistic Dark Elf hordes spew forth from [[Naggaroth]] and their labyrinthine [[Black Ark]]s. He tastes great weakness in the vortex – and great opportunity in its demise. Meanwhile, [[Skaven|a fourth, secretive race]] stirs, their motives obscured by sinister plots and machinations. The time for revelation is nigh... Four races, four outcomes, a single goal: control of the Great Vortex, for good or ill. ==Gameplay== :''For a detailed gameplay overview, see the [[Total War: Warhammer Wiki|main page of this wiki]].'' The second in a trilogy and sequel to the award-winning Total War: WARHAMMER, Total War: WARHAMMER II brings players a breathtaking new narrative campaign, set across the vast continents of [[Lustria]], [[Ulthuan]], Naggaroth and [[The Southlands]]. The Great Vortex Campaign builds pace to culminate in a definitive and climactic endgame, an experience unlike any other Total War title to date. Playing as a Legendary Lord from Warhammer Fantasy Battles, players must perform a series of powerful arcane rituals to stabilise or disrupt The Great Vortex, while foiling the progress of the other races. Each Legendary Lord has a unique geographical starting position, and each race offers a distinctive new playstyle with unique campaign mechanics, narrative, methods of war, armies, monsters, Lores of Magic, legendary characters, and staggering new battlefield bombardment abilities. Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total War™ WARHAMMER II will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign (Mortal Empires). Merging the landmasses of [[The Old World]] plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any owned Race from both titles. ==Playable races== [[File:TWW2 release artwork.jpg|thumb|right|600px|Release artwork, full version]] New races in the base game: *[[High Elves|'''High Elves''']] **[[File:Lothern.png|40px]] '''[[Eataine (faction)|Eataine]]''', led by [[Tyrion]]. **[[File:Order_of_Loremasters.png|40px]] '''[[Order of Loremasters]]''', led by [[Teclis]]. **[[File:Wh2 main hef avelorn crest.png|40px]] '''[[Avelorn]]''', led by [[Alarielle the Radiant]]. **[[File:Wh2 main hef nagarythe crest.png|40px]] '''[[Nagarythe]]''', led by [[Alith Anar]]. **[[File:Yvresse.png|40px]] '''[[Yvresse]]''', led by [[Eltharion]]. **[[File:Knights of Caledor.png|40px]] '''[[Knights of Caledor]]''', led by [[Imrik]]. *[[Dark Elves|'''Dark Elves''']] **[[File:Naggarond.png|40px]] '''[[Naggarond]]''', led by [[Malekith]]. **[[File:Cult of Pleasure.png|40px]] '''[[Cult of Pleasure]]''', led by [[Morathi]]. **[[File:Wh2_main_def_har_ganeth_crest.png|40px]] '''[[Har Ganeth]]''', led by [[Crone Hellebron]]. **[[File:The_Blessed_Dread.png|40px]] '''[[The Blessed Dread]]''', led by [[Lokhir Fellheart]]. **[[File:Wh2 main def hag graef crest.png|40x40px]] '''[[Hag Graef]]''', led by [[Malus Darkblade]]. **[[File:The Thousand Maws.png|40x40px]] '''[[The Thousand Maws]]''', led by [[Rakarth]]. *'''[[Lizardmen]]''' **[[File:Hexoatl.png|40px]] '''[[Hexoatl]]''', led by [[Lord Mazdamundi]]. **[[File:Last_Defenders.png|40px]] '''[[Last Defenders]]''', led by [[Kroq-Gar]]. **[[File:Tlaqua.png|40px]] '''[[Tlaqua]]''', led by [[Tiktaq'to]]. **[[File:Cult of Sotek.png|40px]] '''[[Cult of Sotek]]''', led by [[Tehenhauin]]. **[[File:Wh2_main_lzd_itza_crest.png|40px]] '''[[Itza]]''', led by [[Gor-Rok]]. **[[File:Spirit of the Jungle.png|40px]] '''[[Spirit of the Jungle]]''', led by [[Nakai the Wanderer]]. **[[File:Ghosts of Pahuax.png|40px]] '''[[Ghosts of Pahuax]]''', led by [[Oxyotl]]. *'''[[Skaven]]''' **[[File:Clan Mors.png|40px]] '''[[Clan Mors]]''', led by [[Queek Headtaker]]. **[[File:Clan Pestilens.png|40px]] '''[[Clan Pestilens]]''', led by [[Lord Skrolk]]. **[[File:Clan Rictus.png|40px]] '''[[Clan Rictus]]''', led by [[Tretch Craventail]]. **[[File:Clan Skryre.png|40px]] '''[[Clan Skryre]]''', led by [[Ikit Claw]]. **[[File:Clan Eshin.png|40px]] '''[[Clan Eshin]]''', led by [[Deathmaster Snikch]]. **[[File:Wh2 main skv clan moulder crest.png|40px]] '''[[Clan Moulder]]''', led by [[Throt the Unclean]].
