Hey what's up guys?
Btw do you guys like strategy games? Nah! I'm sure you like that because strategy games can sharpen your brain. And I also really like strategy games because can sharpen my brain and can also make my head dizzy. xD okay here on hive I will share and review one brutal fantasy war game, which is Total War: Warhammer II.
Total War: Warhammer II is a massive scale strategy game series, involving war between hundreds of combat units. But Total War is not like other Real Time Strategy games where each unit is controlled separately, for example like StarCraft. In Total War, tens to hundreds of units will be grouped into one army, and that makes one combat "unit" bigger than other RTS. This grouping makes war in this game very organized and easy to manage.
Total War is famous for its complexity and excitement in managing an army. We can flank, attack the weak points of enemy formations to counter their troops in the field. And warhammer itself is one of the legendary games that have been famous since the 1900s. This game has a very broad and interesting story to follow. Warhammer fans adhered firmly to the story and characteristics of the game.
Warhammer is a story of endless warfare. The war between Empire, Greenskins, Vampire, and Dwarf is the main theme in this game. And every race has a desire to totally control the surrounding land. The enemy that was the main goal of the human Empire was the Vampire who always terrorized without stopping. Whereas the Dwarves have a grudge against Greenskins, because they both have a penchant for digging into the ground. This is reflected in the mission objectives in Campaign mode. Each race will be given the goal of taking over or annihilating the city from their eternal enemy. These objectives are also divided into two options, namely short goals and long goals. In long destinations, the number of cities that need to be taken is far more than short destinations.
What about the gameplay of Total War: Warhammer II?
Well, the most fun gameplay in Total War Warhammer is its war. Namely managing large-sized troops and fighting in real time certainly requires its own expertise, as well as the ability to think tactically. Because every unit in your combat army has advantages and disadvantages. It could be that the unit you are using will easily die silly just because you didn't use it properly.
And the nature of tactical warfare makes you need to always pay attention to the formations used by troops. If you feel that all that is too much of a hassle, you can also combine several units into a group, and then adjust the formation. For example, melee troops in front, while arrows behind. After that, they will move together and will always maintain their formation.
But indeed the war in Total War Warhammer is rather troublesome. Especially when you have been playing and fighting for several hours. Therefore, this game provides the "Auto Resolve" feature, which directly calculates the strength of both parties and simulates the war. This is very helpful if your army is so big and strong, while the enemy troops are far below you. There is no need to waste time organizing battles against inferior troops, it is better to concentrate on fighting a balanced or stronger army.
How to attack other cities in Total War: Warhammer II?
Well, for attacking another city is not as easy as fighting an enemy army led by Lord. Besides being protected by strong and high walls, the city also has defense forces. Even though the numbers were small, the presence of a wall protecting them made defeating him several times larger. Especially if the city is protected by troops led by an enemy Lord. The difficulty jumped several times more difficult.
To overcome the strength that survives behind a defensive wall, you are given several options. First, you can attack it with the help of very large troops and siege machines like Catapult and Balista. This step will hurt you. Second, use your time and tactics to overcome your enemy's defenses. For that, you can use some other methods that are more interesting and take far fewer victims.
How to govern the kingdom in Total War: Warhammer II?
Well, when you are out of war, this game is run with the Turn Based method. You will find a beautiful 3D world map there, in addition to the various cities and troops that are represented by the Lord's units. Each lord has an allocation of distances that he can use to walk on the world map. So, he can use it to move. In addition, the distance allocation can also be used to use "Stance" with a variety of functions. Allocation of the distance will be full again every turn, so use it until the distance points are exhausted!
And governing the kingdom that you have is also found in this phase. When you click on a city that is in your kingdom, then you can manage various management. First, you can arrange the construction of facilities in the city. Not only limited to buildings to make units, cities also have buildings to make money, research new technologies, to regulate the loyalty of its inhabitants. Population loyalty is a serious matter in this game. If you don't pay attention to it, it can continue to decline until the value is minus, and various problems will arise there!
How to strengthen lords and heroes in Total War: Warhammer II?
Well, It's not just cities that can be strengthened through upgrades. Lord and Hero can also become stronger with the help of these upgrades, which can be accessed after they get a level increase. Various methods can be used to raise the level of Lord and Hero, among others by fighting or by passive ways such as Raiding in the opponent's area! The higher the level of Lord and Hero, the stats will also increase, and will certainly make the fight lighter.
Skills that can be upgraded when leveling up are not limited to physical abilities, such as increasing attack power, defense, or HP. You can also find skills that affect the power of the units around the Lord. Through the aura with a certain radius, units that are under the influence of the Lord will fight better and they will not easily escape from the battlefield. That's why you need to choose between strengthening units around you through aura-related skills, or increasing the Lord's personal power so he can become a star in battle.
