Total War: Warhammer II features turn-based strategy and real-time tactics gameplay similar to other games in the Total War series.[4] In the campaign, players move armies around the map and manage settlements in a turn-based manner. Players engage in diplomacy with, and fight against, AI-controlled factions. When armies meet, a real-time battle happens. The game also has a custom battles mode where players can create customised real-time battles, as well as online multiplayer battles. Those who own races from the first game will have the same races unlocked for multiplayer in the second game. The game's announced races in the campaign include the Lizardmen, High Elves, Dark Elves and Skaven. The Tomb Kings and Vampire Coast (a faction of undead pirates) debuted later as paid downloadable content factions.[5] The main campaign of the game is called Eye of the Vortex. It is a narrative-focused campaign where each of the playable races has its own story and cutscenes. In addition, players who own both Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II have access to a huge combined campaign called Mortal Empires, which is more of a sandbox experience.

The campaign features over 120 factions spread across 295 settlements, over 100 spells, 42 legendary lords and over 350 unit types, making it the single largest campaign map ever created by Creative Assembly.

They are short, generally no taller than five-and-a-half foot in height, but they are broad with powerful arms and stout legs. Dwarfs are master craftsmen; they see the work of other races as inferior. In their language, Khazalid, the Dwarfs even have a special word for shoddy devices, "umgak" - which literally means "man made". Much of this learning and expertise has come from eons of carving out their homes in the mountains. The dwarf strongholds under the World's Edge Mountains were undisputed wonders of the world. They are massive underground cities, and in the lower levels great industrial centres with smelteries, forges and mine works digging ever deeper into the roots of the mountains.
