Does this game have Single Player Battle Modes with the computer?

[Grizz]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Total War games but I love the Warhammer universe. I've avoided these games but I'm looking for something new.

But all I've seen of this game, and google searches, is that theres only Campaign modes and Multiplayer.

So are the options either, play the story or go online with players?
Or is there a mode where I can play a Sandbox/Generated Map of some sort where against a computer? I typically avoid Multiplayer and I don't want to be locked into only doing Story Mode stuff.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you,

TLDR/simple answer to thread question: Yes.

so got Realms of Chaos(story campaign, but still a campaign, heavily narrative driven tho and rail roaded down certain path of actions, played single player or multiplayer)

Two exclusively coop campaigns(no one talks about those tho lol)

Immortal Empires or the grand campaign as I like to call it, with single-player basically your sandbox mode too, tho is some quests etc for each faction. You can also play this in multiplayer. To play this mode in single player by yourself tho you will also need both WH1 and 2 in your library, not installed tho, or can join someone who has it in a multiplayer campaign they are hosting and choose one of the factions from 3(this game)

Then got battles, both versus players (ranked or casual pretty sure) and skirmish vs the AI which can select any of the battle modes like survival, sieges, simple land battle etc.

The games 2 and 3 base campaigns are narrative driven, but can both be played mostly like a sandbox. The game immortal empires combined game map campaign is entirely sandbox.

The map is always the same, its not random generated. Same with faction start locations. There are mods to change the latter.

Zero percent of any of it requires a 2nd person to play with. All the campaigns and custom battles can be played vs AI only

Edit - yeah game 3 has some bonus coop only campaigns but they are little mini games that probably very few people care about

Oh wow, would you say it's worth buying WH1 and 2 to access this?

Personally, hell yeah, but I mean I bought them all piece meal over course of years so its an easy call for me. If have the money and want to spend it tho, it's a stellar grand campaign imho(and only one going to continue receiving updates), however, there are still issues, currently some crashing bugs etc so for your wallet and time being, maybe just familiarise yourself with basics in 3 and get 1/2 on next sale.

Guess worth mentioning if dont care about the cost, and do want to wait on updates for this one, you can play a similar campaign in the second game and just need the first one for that, might be good starting point to series anyways, hell still play 1, nothing wrong with it just lacks alot of content that came with 2's life span.

All of them likewise have same battles, campaigns etc single player or multiplayer, its a staple of the TW franchise not just the warhammer ones.

There are lines of thought worth considering. If you intend to (eventually) buy all 3 games to get Immortal empires (the grand combined campaign) game 3 is what's going to get updated moving forward. IE uses the mechanics of game 3, which have shifted in a large number of ways from games 1 and 2.

So why does this matter? If you are going all in on IE, the place to start is with game 3. Learn the game 3 mechanics. If you have a friend who owns all 3 games they can host and you can try out the game 3 factions in IE (this is a coop feature only, and probably where your idea came from that this game requires coop). Then, buy games 1 when they are on sale and get the full experience.

While still only having to have learned the game 3 mechanics that will more or less remain in place going forward.

Alternatively. If you start by just getting game 1 and 2 (for the 2 game combined map, mortal empires) you can have thousands of extra hours worth of game time watching the series and factions evolve between ME and IE
