At the most basic level, infantry beat cavalry, archers beat infantry, and calvary beat archers.
The Total War series fundamentals are RTS battles based around rock, paper, scissors.
What is competitive Total War: Warhammer anyway? “All the elements have already been used and tested in previous tournaments, we just collaborated with an unprecedented number of community members and content creators to put it all together this time.”
'The scale is unprecedented,' says 'MorS', long time competitive Total War community member and one of the organisers of the WWC. Total War developer Creative Assembly have promoted the event, throwing in complimentary copies of Warhammer III to the top 3 players and hosting the finals on their official platforms, but by and large this huge undertaking is as grassroots as they come. Community funded and community led, with months of Discord messages and YouTube streams. It’s the result of the participation and hard work of over 700 players, referees, and organisers.
