    Easily one of the most extensive DLCs, Realm of the Wood Elves has way more content than the expansion packs of old. All the Wood Elf units from the tabletop are present, a set of new magic spells has been introduced and Wood Elves have a whole set of new play mechanics on the campaign map, making them very distinct when compared to all the races that have come before.

    Overall the    Easily one of the most extensive DLCs, Realm of the Wood Elves has way more content than the expansion packs of old.

    Overall the difficulty has been ramped up a bit as you'll now have to manage a new strategic resource called amber which is needed everywhere: buildings, tech, units and even your progression towards victory all rely on it. In the battles, Wood Elves need quite a bit more micro management than other races, but when you master them, they become very powerful indeed. The building trees and character skill trees are also more complicated than you'd be used to.

    But if you've already been playing the game with all the other races for many months, the challenge is more than welcome and the addition of Wood Elves gives Total War Warhammer a fresh feeling and adds a lots more hours of enjoyment.    … Expand

    Those who are looking to add some pointy-ears to their game will find a faction with a high skill ceiling and impressive design. At £14 for just one faction, however, you might want to wait until it’s on sale.

    Realm of the Wood Elves brings a fairly exciting campaign to Total War: Warhammer. The amber resource and the new focuses on alliances versus war forces us to think again on how to approach potential enemies, but as you grow more powerful, the game becomes a little bit easier, and a little more boring.

    The sheer unit variety presents some interesting new ways to take on opponents, but the Elves playstyle is both its biggest draw and possibly its biggest drawback as well.
