Please dont buy total war. They are giving away pre-order races for free then making those who dont pre-order it forced to pay for it. You would be paying for a completed race. Horrible horrible marketing tactics being as it would force you to pre-order the game before you know if it is even good.

I was a huge fan of Total War for years. Played most of them up till Rome2. It's ridiculous having to spend 60 bucks on a game, then have to pay extra to unlock different factions. Seriously greedy marketing if you ask me.
Not only that they dumb down the amount of actual strategy in the game. The AI is useless so they allow the game to cheat to try balance it out. Ghost spawn 20 stack elite armys, civil war, great divide etc.
I didn't even bother playing Atilla and I won't play warhammer either. They put too much emphasis on releasing DLC rather than delivering a good game. Shogun 2 is still the best TW game in my opinion.... It all went downhill after that
Edit: If you want a good warhammer strategy game, I highly recommend Dawn of war. It's been around a while so it's dirt cheap on steam. One of the best strategy games of all time.
