It all just doesn't feel very ' Warhammer-y,' aside from the encroaching Chaos armies. The goal is to be the first to fill up the bar and survive subsequent, ever-more-difficult waves of Chaos that appear at specific intervals. Said bars represent resources players accrue, earn, or otherwise cut out of their opponents. Moment-to-moment abilities and attributes set them apart, but an identical overarching objective ties them back together in largely identical quests to fill in progress bars. The factions of Total War: Warhammer 2 aren't quite so diverse. That variation only grew (and grew more expensive) over time with a glut of DLC. The wildly varied Warhammer fantasy universe allowed each of the game's factions to be unique-not just in terms of starting map location and slight differences to cavalry charge speed but also through wholly different mechanics and campaigns.
