The game also has a custom battles mode where players can create customised real-time battles, as well as online multiplayer battles. When armies meet, they battle in real-time. Players engage in diplomacy with, and fight against, AI-controlled factions. In the campaign, players move armies around the map and manage settlements in a turn-based manner.
Total War: Warhammer II features turn-based strategy and real-time tactics gameplay similar to other games in the Total War series.
