The Empire crushes the enemies of mankind with faith, steel and gunpowder in a stunning display of force that can leave anyone breathless if used properly. Recognized as one of the more “vanilla” factions in the game, the Empire is perfect for veterans of other “ Total War” games who are looking for a faction with a familiar playstyle. The Empire of Man, led by Emperor Karl Franz, the myriad of Elector Counts and countless other lords, stand firmly as one of the most versatile factions in “Total War: Warhammer 2” due to the general effectiveness of their units and the sheer variety of troops they can deploy onto the battlefield. Empire units work best in coordinated attacks.The faction is good in all aspects of war but does not specialize in any field.
