Plus, it manages to give you a great campaign as Throt the Unclean and the Skaven of Clan Moulder. In the end, however, Total War: Warhammer II – The Twisted & The Twilight won’t set you back by a lot. This is evident in this DLC, too, since going from a Clan Moulder campaign to the Heralds of Ariel feels like a step down. Examples include Grom’s Cauldron and cooking recipes one-upping Eltharion’s Warden’s Cage mechanic, as well as Markus Wulfhart’s legendary hunters’ quests being more engaging than whatever Nakai’s supposed to do. As with previous Total War: Warhammer II Lords Pack DLCs, there might be instances when the two leaders aren’t evenly matched - one tends to trump the other. On the other side of the coin, you’ve got the Sisters of Twilight, and their faction’s just underwhelming. For the most part, you’ve got a very enjoyable campaign as Throt the Unclean.

That brings us to what exactly Total War: Warhammer II – The Twisted & The Twilight provides. If you simply play defensively while sacking and razing nearby territory, you’d just bolster other factions that’d capture weakened or ruined settlements Additionally, you could find yourself playing whack-a-mole with random rebels and forest encounters when you’re stretched too thin (and the Wood Elves’ economy doesn’t help matters either). However, as cited earlier, healing magical forests becomes tedious. The changes to Amber, the healing of forests and controlling of heathlands, and traversing the campaign map via the Deeproots system are all wonderful tweaks and updates to a long-neglected race. In terms of reworks, the one for the Wood Elves has both upsides and downsides. As for Drycha, you need to own the Realm of the Wood Elves DLC from the previous game to unlock her (she’s only playable in the Mortal Empires campaign). The Wood Elves rework is free to all players. Granted, these aren’t technically part of Total War: Warhammer II – The Twisted & The Twilight. A couple of key factors we have to talk about are the Wood Elves rework and the addition of Drycha, the FLC lord.
