    No complaints on the technology front. I probably just suck at this game, which is fair, but....The mechanics are **** Their units are SOOOO BAD early I can't bring myself to play past turn 20. The weird ass unit cap mechanic forces stupid army compositions. I understand making mechanics different for each faction lends itself to interesting play styles, but ewwww.

I would much prefer the standard gold upkeep mechanic to be able to field decent armies. I know mid/late game they can probably hold their own, but early nope. It's so bad I want a refund, it's not fun for me at all. Don't let this review stop you, just be warned, if you are anything like me this campaign will leave a bad after taste, one that doesn't inspire future purchases.… Expand

    A successful expansion for a great strategy game brings a very unique and unexplored faction that makes you wanna watch any Mummy movie again. [Issue#283]

    With its own objectives, mechanics, and campaign end-goals, Rise of the Tomb Kings is the best DLC in the whole Total War: Warhammer franchise.

    This is how the new faction should look like! Unusual, impressive, maybe just too strong. The campaign would deserve more care; however, titans, sphinxes and scorpions are an excellent addition.
