Warhammer: Mark of Chaos
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is a warhammer fantasy strategy game released back in 2006. It has similar gameplay to Total War: Warhammer despite being released 10 years before. One may say that Total War: Warhammer might be its successor. Still, this is an extremely underrated gem that was almost never talked about on /tg/ due to its short supplies of memes. Unfortunately the games is nowadays very hard to find, at least legally, as it has yet to appear on Steam or any similar program.
Gameplay
Like Total War: Warhammer or any total war game, there is no resource management or base building. There is unit formation you can put your units into, units have morale and you have leade- fuck it, it's a total war game!
You also gets to play as various other races like Orc, Skaven, High Elves and Dark Elves in the custom game.
Though Dwarf and Vampire Counts are only available in the single play campaign as the dog of war AKA mercenaries hired by the Empire army.
Plot
It is noted that this game takes place one year after the great war against chaos, which means Magnus the Pious is the emperor instead of Karl.
There's 2 campaign in the game. Chaos and Empire.
In the Chaos campaign, you are playing as Thorgar the Blooded One, a Chaos champion who fought alongside the warlord Asavar Kul in the Great War Against Chaos.
In the Empire campaign, you "Stefan von Kessel" a captain in the army of Ostermark under Count Otto Gruber.
Expansion
The game also received an expansion called Battle March. The expansion made the Greenskins into a full faction while also adding the Dark Elves to the game. It had a campaign revolving around an orc warboss named Gorbash leading a war through the ravaged Empire. It is later revealed that the whole plot had been orchestrated by the Dark Elves, who are manipulating the Greenskins for their own purposes.
