[Review Games]Review of Total War – Warhammer Fantasy War: a Brutal #5!
Total War is a massive-scale strategy game series, by engaging the war between hundreds of combat units.
However unlike Total War Games Real Time Strategy that each controlled separately, such as StarCraft or Ashes of The Singularity. In Total War, tens to hundreds of units will be grouped into one army, and that makes one "unit" combat here is greater than in other RTS. The grouping made war in this game being very organized and easy to set up.
The use of the theme of Warhammer Total War when seen on a widely felt not very unique, especially when compared to the other Total War game series, for example Rome Total War. The control unit and its still the same. Quite an interesting addition here are on the existence of magic. the effects of the magic untun is not always destructive. He could just serve to confuse the enemy's morale or make it weaker. The existence of the magic layer a new strategy for the Total War series.
Another interesting feature is the presence of small details that distinguish one race with other races. Take the example of a race of Vampires that can recruit armies undead by way of resurrecting him from the corpse, when compared to other races who bought the new troops. The size of the units of any race are also different. Greenskins, or better known as the Orks, the number of troops that have so much more in each of the units. However, the quality of his troops were not as good as other races. There is also a race that does not have units of horseback riding, for example, Dwarf, because of its small size. All of that will force you to make a different strategy when playing the other races.
- Eternal War
Warhammer is the story of the war that there is no timeout. The war between the Empire, Greenskins, Vampire, and the Dwarf is the main theme in this game. Each race has a desire to rule in total land that exists in the vicinity. However, it is not then this game became war free-for-all. Because of the war on many fronts was the most basic mistakes that make great power fell down. That's why on this game, ardent enemy of any race has been determined in advance.
The main purpose of being enemies of the Empire of man is a Vampire who always terrorize without ceasing. While the Dwarf has the revenge kesumat with the Greenskins, because both share a penchant for digging into the ground. This is reflected into the purpose of the Mission in Campaign mode. Each race will be awarded a goal to take over or destroy the city of the eternal enemy of them. These goals are also divided into two options, i.e. the purpose and goals of short length. On the purpose of that length, the number of cities that need to be taken far more than a goal short.
Unfortunately, the Total War Warhammer does not have a solid story outside the purpose. Ambition in the game this is just another race to slaughter and took control of the city lands. Condiments to mask the lack of features of these stories is by having a mission that appears in the middle of the game. Mission is what makes the game have the impression of the direction to follow. Some examples of the mission such as Lord of the defeated your enemy, or take over an existing city near Your power.
Other condiments that we think is quite interesting is the presence of options in some event. Each option is offered, for example when there is a surge of refugees and you are given the option to expel them or receive them, will have a real impact of the strength of your race. The result of the selection of that option is not always positive anyway. There is also a negative and can harm you, while paired with positive effects that might be equivalent to the risk. Occurrence of the event is also random. So you can't guess as to when it would appear.
- War Strategy
Typical features prominently in the Warhammer Total War is war. Set up a large army and fight in real time certainly requires its own expertise, as well as the ability to think tactically. For every unit in combat forces you have flaws and benefits. It could be the unit that you are using will easily die silly just because you don't use it correctly!.
For example, the sword is a cutting edge line able to withstand the attacks of the enemy. However, they are not so strong, and his attack is very weak when attacked from the side or rear. An astute players will use the bertameng forces to hold so that the enemy does not move freely, then use the arrows to troops rained death on the enemy from a position behind the army and horsemen.
The enemy will also use the same strategy as such. To cope with the onslaught of enemy arrows from a distance, you need to use Cavalry capable of running fast towards the back of the enemy. Later, the troops on duty to suppress the arrow defence forces is extremely low. But you also need to beware of spear with the army that protects the troops berpanah. Because the army is the most perfect defense to overcome the cavalry.
The nature of the tactical battles like this makes you need to always look at the formations used by the troops. When you feel all of that is too cumbersome, you can also combine multiple units into a group, and then set formasinya. For example, the melee in front of the troops, while an arrow in the back. After that, they will move simultaneously and will always keep formation.
War in Warhammer Total War it is kind of a hassle. Especially when you have played and fought for several hours. Therefore, this game features "Auto Resolve", which instantly calculates the strength of both sides and simulate its war. This is particularly helpful when your troops is already so big and powerful, while the enemy forces were far below you. No need to waste time to organize campaigns against inferior forces, it is better to concentrate to a balanced or stronger.
- Attacking Other Cities
The invasion of other cities is not as easy as when fighting with enemy forces led by Lord. In addition to the protected by walls that are strong and high, the city also has a defence force. Although the numbers a bit, the presence of the walls that protect them makes him requires the number of troops several times larger. Especially when the city is protected by the army led by Lord's enemies. The difficulty surged several times more difficult again.
To overcome the forces that persist behind the walls, you are given some options. First, you can be attacked with the help of huge armies and machines such as siege Catapult and Balista. This step will harm you. Second, the use of time and tactics to overcome the defenses your enemy. For that, you can use several other ways that are more interesting and take its toll on a lot less.
The first way is to lay siege to the city. When it was raided, the city is discontinued and the longer the food supply of the population will starve. The effect is quite remarkable; the population of the city itself that would rebel and destroy itself. After that, then you get into the defence forces when the city was already on the brink of collapse. Even when you get impatient, the enemy troops could have surrendered itself to your troops.
The next way is to use the help of the Hero. When the Lord is a useful unit for leading a large army, then the Hero is a unit of work alone. The hero can be used to fight as a regular unit, but the way it is absolutely not recommended. Because, the Hero has a skill that is so useful, for example to destroy the walls of the city, holding the rate of enemy troops, or kill the Lord of enemy forces! Without the Lord, the army would be very easy to be defeated!
- Arrange For The Government
When you are out of the war, this game is a Turn Based method is executed. You will find the 3D map of the world that is so wonderful there, in addition to various cities and armies are represented by units of his Lord. Each Lord has a distance of allocation can be used to run on the world map. So he can use it to move. In addition, the allocation of such distance can also be used to use the "Stance" with diverse functions. The allocation of the full distance back each turn, so use up the distance points up!.
Set the Kingdom you have also found in this phase. When you click an existing town in the Kingdom of you, then you can set up a wide array of management. First, you can set up the construction of facilities in the city. It's not just limited to the buildings to create the unit, the city also has a building to make money, research new technologies, to set up the loyalty of the population. The loyalty of the population is a serious thing in this game. When you're not looking on, he could continue to slump to minus value, and a variety of problems will arise there!.
Yet others with money; set the State Treasury to be filled is a heavy challenge in this game. On the one hand, you would certainly want to strengthen combat forces to fight against other races. However, for that you must pay when they buy them, plus any units that are in the forces you have maintenance costs continue to suck up money! If the money you make each turn more of the cost of maintenance, so there is nothing to worry about. Yet another otherwise. It could be Your Kingdom bankrupt to pay maintenance costs only!.
Slot number of the buildings that can be used in each city is also limited. So you have to make careful consideration before you buy a building in the city. Fortunately, you can reproduce the slot increase the size of the city. For that, you have to wait until the number of the population, which continues to grow each turn, reach a certain amount and capital levels will go up. Then you can upgrade the size of the city, get a new slot, and at the same time opening new buildings is the effect more powerful.
Money does not always have to be generated from the city only. For example, the Greenskins army they can earn money by simply defeat the enemy! In addition, you can also use the stance "Raiding" of Lord in the world map to Rob from the enemy! The longer you are robbing from other kingdoms of power, then the Kingdom will receive its negative effects. For example, his people into starvation, her loyalty to decline until it could lead to revolt, to be bankrupt because no infusion of money!
- Strengthen the Lord and Hero
Not only the city could be strengthened through an upgrade. Lord and Hero could also be stronger with the help of these upgrades, which can be accessed after they get the increase level. Various ways can be used to raise the level of Lord and Hero, among others by fighting or passive way like doing Raiding in the area opposed! The higher the level of Lord and Hero, then his statistics will also be increased, and of course will make the fight became lighter.
Skills can be enhanced when the level up is not limited to his physical abilities, such as increasing attack power, defense, or HP. You can also find skill that affect the strength of the unit around the Lord. Through the aura with a certain radius, distance units that exist within the influence of the Lord will fight better and they are not easily escaped from the battle field! That's why you need to choose between strengthening existing units around you through skill associated with aura, or enhance the power of personal Lord so that he could be a star in the battle!.
Another way to strengthen the Lord and Hero is by adding various gear into his body. After you defeat the enemy Lord, you usually can find debris objects or drop it. The combat gear also can be obtained by completing a random Mission received during the game. The strength of the combat gear is very important in determining the role of the Lord. For example, there is the gear that improves combat power, there is also an income boost gear when Raiding. When you have the Lord with magical abilities, then you need to use the gear that improves her magical effects.
However, be careful when fighting the Lord with a fighting force that is much bigger than you. When Lord You lost the war with the Lord's enemies that his strength is not much different, he can escape and heal themselves. However, when a very strong against the enemy, the Lord can die! When he died, the Lord's turn to drop the use of gear and you will lose all the combat gear! In addition, you will get rid of more time to increase the power of the Lord recently to the same it seems.
- Conclusion
Warhammer Total War would be very interesting to play for gamers who are fans of the series Total War, or gamers who love the complex strategy game. For fans of Warhammer, the ability to play any race other than humans, usually dianaktirikan, will be the charm. The game itself has an interesting game, because a lot of things that can be done every turn. However, the difficulty of the game is quite high, even for Easy though, and no doubt will complicate new players. It should be noted that the Total War Warhammer games are fully supported by AMD. So you can find the best playing experience and performance when using the Radeon, as we feel it yourself.
