Not for me

The BEST TW WH game in the series IMO on a non Great Empire level. The DLC that was brought to this game felt like it actually added something to the game so my money didn't feel entirely wasted. The art style for this one is darker/not as anime/cartoony as the next two. The map is still big but well done. Definitely suggest starting with this one before getting 2 or 3. 2 and 3 are pretty much the same game but different ways of executing the victory requirements. The only thing those two have over the first is the Grand Empire game mode which incorporates the previous game/map into a all in one map in which you can use all previous empires you want provided you have the base game AND DLC for those nations. So yeah they can be more fun after you've spent $250+ to get every DLC they've ever made and the base games, which is why i always suggest you GET ANY TW GAME AND DLC ON SALE, half the time they aren't even worth it. And WH2 and WH3 DLC is some of the worst cash grabs i've seen from CA/SEGA yet. They didn't really add anything besides a single character (Leader) that might do a few abilities different than the base ones.

much fun
