Deciding when to send units into the fray and when to pull them back, which enemies to prioritize, when to use units' and leaders' special abilities - these are all things you'll have to be thinking about in the middle of battle. Some of your troops may have a special “Vanguard” ability allowing them to be deployed outside the normal deployment zone (represented by a yellow rectangle on the battle map), thus providing you with the opportunity to plan and set up traps for the enemy once things get underway.īeyond beginning-of-battle positioning, there is a lot of strategy involved in the battles themselves.
Prior to two armies duking it out, each side has the opportunity to first determine where on the battlefield that can position their units.
Of course, expanding your empire and performing the necessary rituals will put you in conflict with the other factions, and when you get into battle, Total War: WARHAMMER 2 shows off its tabletop roots… kind of. Still, I would think that the developers would make at least some concessions for co-op players. You either have to pick one person to focus on doing the rituals while the other deals with taking out other factions, or you have to work out who gets what.Īfter playing through some of the campaign on my own, it’s clear that the co-op is ultimately limited by the underlying mechanics/systems of the game itself which has limited options for how you can ally yourself with another faction and none of those allow for the kind of features described here. In a weird way, then, all of this kind of puts you and your friend a little at odds as there are only so many resources to go around. You both acquire the materials necessary to initiate the rituals individually and you cannot share. Finally, despite the fact that you’re both attempting to take over the vortex for your faction, your progress towards that ultimate goal is separate. There are a limited number of cities on the map and you can’t both occupy the same place. You cannot give units to your buddy if they really need them, nor can you give them gold. The most confusing element to the campaign co-op in Total War: WARHAMMER 2 is that there is absolutely no sharing of resources whatsoever.
