Warhammer: Total War

This is a dark age, a bloody age,an age of Daemons and sorcery, of battle and death until the world's ending.

These are the End Times. =This is Total War.=

Warhammer; Total War is a mod project that is attempting to put the Games Workshop's fantasy universe of Warhammer into the Rome; Total War engine. Warhammer is a tabletop Fantasy battle game set in the 'End Times' - an age where the last remnants of the good races must fight to prevent the ruinous powers of chaos and destruction taking over the world, wrestling with Orcs, Servants of the four Chaos Gods Slaanesh, Tzenteech, Nurgle and Khorne, fould undead monstrosities, and even their fallen Kindreds - Dark Elves, Chaos Dwarves, or the corrupted men of Norsca.

The mod, led by Jubal_Barca, is attempting to release a Custom Battle only version of the mod including the two halves of the Empire of Sigmar, the marauding Hordes of the Chaos gods, the noble High Elves of Uluthuan, their Darkelf Kindred, a regnade cult of Dark Elves who under the witch queen Morathi follow Slaanesh, the Prud Knights of Brettonia, and the Southern Empire of Araby.

In the mod, we have tried to create a world that is as true as possible to the fantasy world GW has created. While this functions differently from the tabletop game, we have done our best to make sure that the races have stayed as true to the works of Games Workshop's designers and writers as possible. We have made sure that GW's 'fluff' or background writing supports all our work.

It's been a long road for WHTW; the original mod, made by Zodiac Productions, spluttered and died after a great deal of time and effort, with just a four faction beta game having been released. Now for our next release we have seven factions; up to three more are likely to be released in the release after that. The future is bright for the mod, while for its war torn inhabitants the future looks ever darker.

Thanks should here go to the Zodiac mod team, particularly Zapp90 and Quadrille, to the modders and fans who have supported this mod, particulary to Ciaran_S, rstoner and Noble Savage, and of course to all the modders who have leaped on board and helped me revive this mod.
