The stark differences and complexities of the various factions make co-op play shine. It's not an entirely new step, as previous Total War games have allowed players to garner minor items and retinue for their named minions, but WARHAMMER presents potions, staves, armor, and weaponry that can be gained from quests or wrested from the clutches of your fallen foes and equipped to their respective slots, à la Age of Wonders 3 or Endless Legend. On top of the complexities of army composition, WARHAMMER expands on previous iterations of leadership outfitting by giving you full control over the equipment used by your armies' generals. Mountainous passes are flanked by massive, carved skulls, Bretonnian cities glow with an Arthurian aura, and the Chaos Warriors’ rampaging path can be traced by the bloodshed and destruction left in their wake. Both landscape and settlement alike are simultaneously bombastic and understated. The campaign map looks just as one would expect from a Warhammer property. The game's aesthetics thankfully extend beyond its bloody combat.
