With a fairly balanced roster of undead infantry, chariots, and towering constructs like Necrosphinx, the Tomb Kings are a joy to play. The latter two are needed to summon special legendary versions of your normal units and craft magical items for your leaders to wield in battle, so they're pretty vital. After a somewhat slow start, gold begins to flow and trade, along with the 'premium currency' called canopic jars, takes priority. Armies and heroes are similarly limited, but unlocked with the Tomb Kings' dynasty-themed technology tree instead. One building can support a limited number of the units it produces, so to get more you must build more, and to build more you must conquer land - even if that's to a lesser extent than the other races. The units have no upkeep or recruitment cost, which sounds overpowered as hell, but to offset this, anything better than the few cannon fodder skeletons have recruit limits, based on the number of certain buildings within your settlements. As well as separating them somewhat from the Vortex campaign, this goal makes the new faction very different and enjoyable to play, as Tomb Kings are more defensive and slow to ramp up, but don't have to wage an endless war against everything around them to conquer new lands.ДЄside from the campaign objective, the way Tomb Kings recruit new armies and units is also different from other races. The ancient Books of Nagash are strewn across the vast map (and their placement and bonuses differ on separate playthroughs), and your job is to collect five to access the Black Pyramid and its overwhelming power.

Yet while mere mortals squabble amongst themselves, the Tomb Kings have a different goal in mind. The ancient civilization has now been reincarnated not into the promised paradise, but into that of Warhammer with its endless battles. The Tomb Kings are the undead and Egyptian-like faction of rulers of old. Simply put, we were left stunned with the results. The whole thing offers an invigorating and refreshingly different take on the formula, while retaining that which binds Total War games together. The Creative Assembly has had a bit of a hit-and-miss track record when it comes to DLC packages for the Total War: Warhammer games, but Rise of the Tomb Kings, an expansion we've been playing a lot of recently, ascends above all of its predecessors.
