If the Winds are strong in a particular area (depicted as colorful waves of energy hovering over the ground), casting spells can be easier and vice versa. Here, sorcerers and spells exist but their effectiveness varies depending on the location.

Winds of Magic - Magic is common in any type of fantasy and so it is present in Warhammer. For example, greenskins cannot conquer anything beyond the mountains and wastelands on the south of the Old World (they can still plunder them however).

There is no total conquer anymore - A limit has been imposed concerning the areas that one can conquer, in order to make the gameplay more interesting and difficult, but also to avoid some potential story plotholes. However, two basic differences can be found: The main mechanics of the gameplay are mostly the same as they were in the other Total War games. The map below shows the starting position and the political situation in the Old World. Thus, the first tours are spent on creating and maintaining the right relationships with the 'relatives'. This means, that upon starting the game, the player starts the campaign having only one province. Also, each of the factions (except for Chaos) is divided into smaller, individual groups.

Chaos - destructive and demonic forces ДЄpart from that, the campaign map is filled with neutral factions controlled by the AI (some of the factions will be playable after other DLCs are published).

Vampire Counts - The undead led by the necromancers.

Greenskins - wild groups of orcs, goblins and similar races from the wastelands.

Dwarfs - honorable warriors living in the strongholds in the mountains.

Empire - a strong faction of men (similar to the Habsburg dynasty from XVI century).

A player can conquer this land by using one of the five in-game factions: This is the biggest and the most important continent in this universe and may bear some resemblance to Europe. In Total War: Warhammer the entire Old World can be found on the campaign map.
