Total War: WARHAMMER II – The Prophet & The Warlock (PC) – Steam Key – GLOBAL

The Prophet & The Warlock

The Prophet & The Warlock is the latest Lords Pack for Total War: WARHAMMER II. This expansion introduces two rival Legendary Lords from the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, each with their own objectives, mechanics, units, and playstyle, for use in both the Eye of the Vortex and Mortal Empires campaigns, as well as in custom and multiplayer battles.

Key Features

• Two powerful new Legendary Lords with new quest-chains, legendary items, and skill trees.
• Play as Clan Skryre (Skaven) or the Cult of Sotek (Lizardmen) with unique new campaign mechanics.
• Two new additional Lord types.
• Nine new battlefield units and variants, including the bullet-spewing Ratling Gun Weapon Teams and the fearsome Ripperdactyls.
• Unleash ultimate devastation with the Clan Skryre Doomrocket or summon an aspect of the serpent god himself into battle with the Invocation of Sotek!
• New Regiments of Renown to unlock, recruit, and field.

Background

The great serpent-god Sotek may sleep, but Tehenauin – his most devoted prophet – does not. The time has come for the foul Skaven to pay the butcher’s bill for their plague-spreading acts, and pay they will – with their very lives! Tehenauin marshals his fellow Red-Crested Skinks: there will be a sacrifice. A vast, crimson sacrifice. Only when the temple-city altars are drenched with Skaven blood will the serpent god become manifest and enact his divine wrath.

However, the Skaven do not sit idly by while Tehenauin plans his crusade. Scenting great Warpstone deposits in the jungles of Lustria, the arch Warlock-Engineer Ikit Claw has claimed The Star Tower in the name of Clan Skryre: a staging-post from which to delve deep into the continental interior. With the Forbidden Workshop at his disposal, Ikit Claw will bend the raw stuff of chaos to his twisted designs, forging ever-more ingenious and cataclysmic weapons… and placing the Warlock-Engineer on a collision course with the Prophet of Sotek!

New Legendary Lords and Factions

Ikit Claw, the Warlock Engineer (Skaven, Clan Skryre)

Ikit Claw – like all of Skavenkind – is naturally suspicious, untrusting, untrustworthy, and treacherous. His aptitude for science and invention is unrivalled, and he has developed an awesome command of the Winds of Magic. His exceptional scientific knowledge and magical powers have made him indispensable to the Council of Thirteen. In his quest for destruction, Ikit seeks to realise his grandest design – the mighty Doomsphere – and he will stop at nothing to unleash it upon the world.

Clan Skryre Features and Mechanics

• Forbidden Workshop: Clan Skryre players can spend resources to upgrade various units such as Doomwheels, Doom-flayers, and Weapons Teams with powerful new stat-boosts and attributes. Upgrading unlocks further ancillaries and new regiments of renown unique to the Forbidden Workshop.
• Warpstorm Doomrockets: These outlandishly powerful weapons can be deployed in battle as an Army Ability. A single Doomrocket is capable of wiping out multiple units in a single strike.
• Doomsphere: Only Clan Skryre can build the Doomsphere within the Under-Cities they establish, capable of completely destroying any settlement it is constructed below.

Unique Lord – Warlock Master

The Warlock Master is a caster Lord who uses the Lore of Ruin in battle. They have unique skills that grant bonuses to Doom Flayers, Doomwheels, and Weapons Teams and may be upgraded to ride a Doom Flayer or Doomwheel in battle.

Unique Units

• Ratling Gun Weapons Team: Specialist anti-infantry gun teams bearing the rotating, rapid-fire Ratling Gun.
• Warplock Jezzails: Long-range, armour-piercing sniper infantry.
• Doom-Flayers: Designed to punch through enemy lines and deal powerful armour-piercing damage.

Regiments of Renown

These unique, elite variants are unlocked for recruitment as Ikit Claw and his Lords level up:

• Ikit’s Zzzzap-Zzzzap! (Warp Lightning Cannon): Stuns enemies with the Zzzzap! Contact effect.
• Clan Vulkn Tailslashers: Fiery vermin with high weapon-strength.
• Blightscab’s Plaguepack: Grants the Immune to Psychology attribute to nearby friendly units.

Tehenhauin, Prophet of Sotek (Lizardmen, Cult of Sotek)

Tehenhauin, a Red Crested Skink, emerged as the charismatic Prophet of Sotek after a devastating plague was spread across Lustria by Clan Pestilens. He prophesised the coming of the Serpent-God and rallied the surviving population of Lizardmen to join his counterattack. The Cult of Sotek faction brings two new campaign mechanics to Total War: WARHAMMER II:

Prophecy of Sotek

Tehenauin believes that with sufficient sacrifices, the serpent-god may yet return. He will be issued a series of unique missions, the completion of which grants access to new forms of sacrifice.

Sacrifices to Sotek

As Tehenauin wins battles against non-Lizardmen armies, he may choose to mark any post-battle captives as Sacrificial Offerings. These offerings can be spent on performing sacrifices accessed by the Prophecy of Sotek missions.

Unique Lord: Red-Crested Skink Chief

Red-Crested Skink Chiefs are powerful melee-focused Lords capable of leading armies, with their own unique skills tree. They may be upgraded to ride a Horned One, a Ripperdactyl, or a fearsome Ancient Stegadon.

Unique Units

• Red Crested Skinks: Armed with great weapons, they deal armour-piercing damage.
• Salamander Hunting Pack: Powerful ranged-attack monsters that hurl fireballs.
• Ancient Salamander: Hurls huge fireballs and causes terror in melee.
• Ripperdactyl Riders: Flying anti-infantry cavalry.
• Ancient Stegadon (Engine of the Gods): Can use the Burning Alignment beam-attack.
• Bastiladon (Ark of Sotek): Summons a vortex of poison-dealing serpents around itself.

Regiments of Renown

Tehenauin’s armies may field all-new Regiments of Renown, unlocked for recruitment as the appropriate sacrifices are made to Sotek:

• The Thunderous One: Calls down bolts of lightning to strike enemies.
• Star Chamber Guardians: Venerable warriors with Magic Attacks and the Guardian attribute.
