You're going to have to pull together some doomstacks of 20 units and march there. You can collect some of these diplomatically, through military alliances and vassals, but you'll also have to expand your borders and swallow others up the old-fashioned way. On a much larger map you have to unite your faction, eliminate their main opponent, and then take control of a set number of far-flung locations with names like Black Crag, Hell Pit, and The Great Galleon. But if you also have the first Total War: Warhammer you can combine the two games in the Mortal Empires campaign, in which victory is more prosaic.

Even after beating the vortex campaign the first time and learning how to game its systems, it's still fun to roleplay as one of the factions who want control of the magical flush for their own ends. Total War: Warhammer 2’s mega campaign finally has a name: Mortal Empires.

One way to win Total War: Warhammer 2 is by completing the vortex campaign, racing to control a magical whirlwind that looks like a glowing suspended toilet flush the size of Godzilla.
