forge of empires turns in battle strategy

Immortal Empires redefines “sandbox” video games (This is Total War, after all, not total peace.)

They must also, of course, fight off various other races who have bespoke game-winning objectives of their own. Each of the three Chorf factions, which have different buffs and abilities of their own, must build a giant drill to bore down into the ground and tap into the Blood of Hashut (basically, a lava-like substance named after their patron god that can turn metal into molten goop at the slightest contact). I first tried the Chorfs in the Realms of Chaos campaign, Warhammer 3’s more guided, story driven mode that features a smaller portion of Warhammer Fantasy’s world map. In fact, they’ve led to some of my most engrossing mid- to late-game campaign moments out of the trilogy’s 24-race roster. Their obsessions with industry, volcanic artillery, daemonic monsters, and droves of Hobgoblin cannon fodder make them decent foils to almost every enemy I encountered. Not only are the Chaos Dwarfs (which members of the Total War community have taken to calling the Chorfs, or ChaDs) one of the more versatile options on Warhammer 3’s real-time battlefields - they’re also a monstrous force in the game’s turn-based campaign layer.

I’ve spent the last two weeks playing Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, the DLC that will be released tomorrow alongside update 3.0.
