    The Tomb Kings are ultimately a great addition to Warhammer’s perpetually pissed-off factions, but their poor integration into the Vortex campaign suggests that Creative Assembly haven’t quite figured out how to add factions who don’t share the core participants’ objectives. Consider this, then, a slightly more emphatic recommendation if you’ve got access to the Mortal Empires sandbox, where everyone is competing in the same race to conquer the world.

    Rise of the Tomb Kings is a great first expansion for Total War: Warhammer II. Stepping away from the Eye of the Vortex campaign to embark on a book hunt is more than just a thematic shift, especially with the way in which the Tomb Kings can play on the campaign map, thanks to their free recruitment and only needing a modest empire to fill their armies with elite units.

    The new faction is more fleshed out than most other races in the game. 4 very different legendary lords (personality, starting position, character traits, goals), 1 fully fleshed out army with all the undead and constructs with amazing animations and attention to detail to every unit. Really interesting mechanics, completely different tech trees (research of the past with dynasties is really cool), item crafting for your heroes with Mortuary Cult, unique campaign mechanics different from the vortex. New beautifull desert maps and backdrops!
    This, in my opinion, is the best DLC CA has ever released in any total war game and sets a golden standard for future releases. The future of total war warhammer is bright!
    CA if you re reading this please improve the old races (empire, orks, beastmen) they feel subpar in terms of complexity and campaign mechanics.    … Full Review »

This works out a lot better than the old way they did the add-ons with the mini-campaigns and only two legendary lords. Instead, now we get four new lords, a new crafting system, and a good roster of units. The lords are all interesting and fulfill a purpose. It's not a perfect DLC even if I love it. The first thing is that the endings of the lords don't all make sense, I won't spoil it, but some don't fit with the characters. Overall I'd give it a solid 9/10 for a DLC. Sorry if the bad grammar throws you off.… Full Review »
