Improves on Total War: Warhammer II in every way. To mention a few

- Huge settlements, utterly dwarfing the previous
- Gorgeous maps
- Incredible faction variety, with 9 (10) lords at launch *not including Ogres
- Customisable daemon prince lord (which can be imported into MP)
- 8 player MP campaigns
- Ambush escape
- Reinforcements no longer arrive instantly, and can have their location changed!

The new settlements are gigantic, with minor settlements having their own new features to give them some character, even a small one can sometimes be a tough fight. The maps and units are stunning, and the game runs well for me (RTX 2070) even on high settings. From a lore stance the factions are very well represented, both in looks and personality.

My only real complaints are that the auto-resolve seems extra punishing, resulting in fighting a lot of battles that are clear victories... and that the realms of chaos campaign may get a bit repetitive. TW:WH2 had this with Vortex but each DLC had new mechanics, the only difference here is the number of factions playing the campaign.

I eagerly await the new combined game world map and seeing what CA bring next, with Chaos Dwarfs already hinted at from in-game text.

EDIT: Regarding performance, I'm getting 50-60 in most battles (multi-stack can drop a bit lower) on igh settings, and have only had one crash in 100 hours of gameplay, which was on the beta build.
