Warhammer: Mark of Chaos Information

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos can be described as Warhammer fantasy meets Rome : Total War. The best of both worlds. Replace those Roman soldiers with Orcs and you got a pretty good idea of what it looks like. But obviously that is not all there is to this game. The battle takes place in the Northern part of the Empire, the land of the dwarfs and humans. The factions all have their unique units and abilities, including a collection of siege weapons. In it’s preview, GameSpot mentions the highly detailed features of the units. Resource gathering like you see in many real-time strategy games will not be part of Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. Heroes will be under your command, they will gain experience allowing you to “develop” them into fighters or commanders. November is the estimated release time, so one more month..

Since the first screenshots appeared over a year ago, Warhammer and strategy fans have been looking forward to Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. Though there have been previous games based on the popular and long-lived Warhammer fantasy license, Mark of Chaos’s beautiful visuals promise to bring the armies of men, orcs, and elves to life like never before. In this real-time strategy game, you’ll be able to command Warhammer armies in fevered battle and see the gory results unfold before your eyes. With the game finally near completion, we got our hands on a work-in-progress version to check it out.

Mark of Chaos is set in the northern parts of the Empire, which is basically the kingdom of men and dwarves. Apparently, this is a huge battleground for the four factions in the game. There’s the Empire, the high elves, the hordes of chaos, and the skaven, a ratlike race composed of rodents of unusual size. Each of these factions has a huge assortment of units, ranging from the conventional-looking human warriors to twisted demons, hulking orcs, and a variety of powerful siege weapons. The detail on all of these is impressive, as it’s comparable to the most carefully painted Warhammer miniature.
