Total War: Warhammer II - Rise Of The Tomb Kings is the first expansion pack to the fantasy strategy game Total War: Warhammer II, developed by Creative Assembly and released by SEGA in 2018 for PC. The action takes place in the universe of the tabletop game of the same name, and the gameplay introduces a new race inhabiting the desert land of Nehekhara.
Story
In ancient times, when no man thought about his destiny, one civilization desired to live forever and gain absolute domination over the world. It was Nehekhara - the greatest nation capable of anything. But one day, its power ended when the malicious Nagash decided to destroy it forever. Little did he know that this was just the beginning of a new tale about an undead army fueled by eternal vengeance.
Gameplay
Tomb Kings Warhammer 2 is a DLC campaign pack introducing a new playable faction for the Eye of the Vortex and Mortal Empires missions. The goal of this unique race is to find the nine cursed Books of Nagash and win the great battle for the Black Pyramid. So the more books you have, the greater power your army can use.
Another perk for this faction is canopic jars that unlock technologies and the knowledge of creating powerful artifacts. You can earn them by completing missions or winning battles and proceed to awake mighty legions and craft magical equipment. But there's still more, as Tomb Kings can perform ancient rites that provide a significant advantage on the battlefield.
Also, each leader and hero brings unique powers encouraging you to craft the perfect strategy to crush your enemies. This downloadable content is a valuable game-changer in Total War's strategic gameplay, providing an atmospheric combat adventure inspiring to learn more about an ancient civilization obsessed with conquering the entire world. It doesn't introduce a new campaign, but the unique tech tree, mystic power, and perfectly crafted race earned praise on Steam as one of the best expansion packs to the legendary Total War series.
