# Total War: Warhammer
> Total War: Warhammer (May 24, 2016, Creative Assembly/Sega): 16 factions, huge real-time battles, campaign map and DLC — the game that brought Warhammer to the series. 5 min read.
Total War: Warhammer is a real-time strategy game released on May 24, 2016, developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega, plunging you into the Warhammer universe. There you lead one of the sixteen distinct factions of the Warhammer world. Each faction has its own characteristics, troops and command units.
The game offers large-scale real-time battles with thousands of units fighting simultaneously on the map. You can also explore and conquer new territories on the campaign map. In addition to real-time battles, you can also plan and manage your empire through city management, unit production and diplomacy with other factions.
Beyond its roster, the game also shines through its presentation: the battlefields remain readable despite the chaos, the voice acting brings each faction's leaders to life, and the soundtrack blends Warhammer's epic tone with the series' orchestral punch.
