Total War: Warhammer 2's next piece of premium DLC, The Twisted & Twilight, arrives tomorrow. Our review of the new Lord Pack is out now, but even if you aren't planning on buying it, you're still in for some major changes thanks to the free Asrai Resurgent update that's coming to all Total Warhammer 2 players when the DLC launches.
Owners of both Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer 2 will see new settings for the Chaos invasion at the setup screen for new Mortal Empires campaigns. Once this patch arrives, you'll be able to set the difficulty level for the Chaos invasion using a new drop-down menu box that will be found next to the campaign difficulty settings. Creative Assembly says "this determines the scale of the invasion", so expect fewer Chaos troops and armies on lower settings, and more of the awful brutes on high settings.
Units in Total War: Warhammer 2 are getting new helpful stats tracked in the mouseover tooltips: total damage dealt and damage value. Damage dealt will give you a raw number of damage a particular unit has dealt when you hover over the kill counter, while damage value gives you a price tag for it. Say a unit has done 5,000 damage to a unit that cost 1,000 gold to recruit and has a health pool of 10,000 - this stat will let you know that it's done 500 gold worth of damage, which can give you a nice way of assessing how effectively you're using your high-threat units.
