You'll research new tactics, weapons, and monsters, and conduct diplomatic consorts with the various races of Warhammer. As you're worrying about the stability of the Vortex, you'll also need to manage cities and tax your people, as usual. This mode still balances Total War's signature dualistic design. Each time you (or anyone else) performs one of the five successive rituals, the pace of the entire campaign picks up. But, since all the other races of the world are pushing towards the same end, your progress will be marked along a track with five milestones. As you progress through a pre-made set of special quests, you'll be able to start performing rituals that will, in time, allow you to wrench control of the Vortex from everyone else. Your target takes the form of a swirling Vortex comprised of magical energies. Now, though, you, and a number of other forces across the map will be racing to take control of that seal-to whatever end. Long ago, a ritual helped quarantine the forces of Chaos behind a seal so that normal life could thrive.
Within the context of the Warhammer universe, Chaos is an all-consuming malevolent force that corrupts and distorts.
