In May 2018, 7 months after Mortal Empires was released, Norsca were finally added in the Resurgent Update. Due to complications in development, Creative Assembly was unable to easily merge them in like the other races, and had to re-code them from scratch. Norsca was not playable in Mortal Empires when the campaign first released. It ended up being released on Octowith the Mortal Empires update. Mortal Empires was originally supposed to be available on the release of Total War: Warhammer II (September 28, 2017). Some factions may have different names, starting positions or game mechanics. Some things have been updated and changed, compared to Total War: Warhammer. However, there is still a Chaos Invasion by the forces of Chaos. Most factions can settle anywhere, but may take penalties in bad climates. Unlike The Old World campaign, there is no regional occupation to limit colonization. Chaos also has some story though no final battle. However the Beastmen and the Wood elves have a campaign, objectives and a final battle. Unlike Eye of the Vortex, Mortal Empires has no overall global story progression, no rituals.

See Special buildings#Mortal Empires campaign for a list. The campaign features over 120 factions spread across more than 300 settlements, over 100 spells and over 350 unit types, making it the single largest campaign map ever created by Creative Assembly, prior to TWW3.Ī huge number of settlements in Mortal Empires have unique landmark buildings. Mortal Empires combines the Old World with the New World landmasses seen in the Eye of the Vortex campaign.

There are over 60 playable legendary lords, most of which have their own unique start location and faction. In Mortal Empires, you can play as any lord/faction from the first game or second game, including any paid or free DLC you own.
