  And so this Wood Elf DLC leaves me in two minds. On the one side it's not what I was after. But on the other side it still gives a new interesting way of enjoying the game, if you can step up to the challenge of micro managing a bunch of weak elves into a forest to get them the advantage.

  Total War is a series that stays true to its roots and tries to continue to innovate in smaller ways, so seeing them take a more drastic approach with the Wood Elves is definitely a breath of fresh air in a series that already tried something new in taking on the Warhammer universe. The Wood Elves are definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to this game, as they present a unique style of approaching battles that isn’t really seen with any other ones.

  Though there are things about how the Wood Elves look and fit into the world that will bug Warhammer nerds, they add another extremely different playstyle to an already varied bunch. The mad scramble for amber makes for tough decisions, and the need to reposition constantly is demanding.

  6.5

  Total War: Warhammer’s AI has certainly been affected by the DLC and its update. Diplomacy has taken a turn for the worst, with forging alliances between elven factions incredibly difficult. AI elf players seem to be given far too much leeway, too, as despite running massive amber deficits, they’ll more often than not explode out of the forest and be the most dominant faction by mid-game.

  9.0

  Realm of the Wood Elves is a solid addition to Total War Warhammer and a much needed one. As the first introduction of the Elves, the DLC does a fantastic job of delivering a great roster of units with unique gameplay mechanics that allow the race to play very differently to that of any other faction.

  Realm of the Wood Elves tappa finalmente una delle principali mancanze di Total War: WARHAMMER e l'assenza degli Elfi Silvani viene lasciata alle spalle. Questa lacuna viene meno solo se sarete disposti a pagare poco meno di venti euro, una cifra piuttosto alta e che certamente non strapperà molti sorrisi dalle labbra dei fan della serie.
