All about game Warhammer: Battle March
Warhammer: Battle March is a console real-time strategy (RTS) game inspired by Games Workshop’s Warhammer universe. It combines the original Windows-only game, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos, and its expansion pack, also called Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Battle March into one release for the Xbox 360 platform. This version is not available separately for any other platform.
The game focuses on putting players right into battle without resource collection or economy management typical to most RTS games. Players will be able to fight across huge 3D battlefields with their chosen forces from either the Empire, Orcs and Goblins, High Elves or Dark Elves races in a variety of multiplayer modes including Deathmatch and Skirmish as well as cooperative play against computer-controlled enemies. The battles are fought using an intuitive point-and-click control system that allows players to easily command units around the battlefield in large scale battles up to 16v16. There are over 40 campaign missions included along with 30 unique heroes which can be given special abilities such as fire breathing dragons and lightning storms at will during combat scenarios.
