Total War: Warhammer 2
If you enjoy that then the latest one, Troy, is out next month.
It's free in the Epic store on launch day only - 13th August
(After that it'll go back up to £50 or so as usual, then into Steam after a year once the Epic exclusive is done)https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/a-total-war-saga-troy
So I bought Total War: Warhammer 2 in the steam sale. I suck at Total War games and they're a massive time sink but screw it. I've been playing here and there the last week on campaign using the character they set as "easy" difficulty, one of the High Elves. To win the campaign you have to generate stuff from your cities which then lets you cast a big spell, there's like 5 levels of it then you win. I've been doing alright, I'm not winning but not far behind the leader, I've expanded my territory quite a bit but kept all my strong neighbours happy. Then I start getting some requests for friendship from a couple of Dark Elf factions, of course I decline because they're my arch-enemies. A few turns of that later and it seems the game just decided to get rid of me, 5 different factions turned up, a couple I hadn't even met in game yet, with 4 full armies each and in one turn destroyed my two armies and took all my cities.
