Total War: Warhammer 2's wood elves are already pretty strong in a fight, having a bunch of neat military recruitment options and units at their disposal (I'm looking at you, hawk riders). However, one modder reckons "the forces of nature could do with a bit more beast variety" and, having seen their answer - a mod adding a raft of new fantastical beats units and more - I'm inclined to agree.

Charmingly-named modder Calm&NormalTime has posted their very first Total Warhammer 2 mod on the turn-based strategy game's Steam Workshop, which is simply called 'Animals for wood elves'. This creation adds a whopping 12 new animal units to the race's range of options, which draw on both majestic real-life creatures, such as boars, elk, wildcats, great stag, and boars, but also some fantastical beasties that should bring something new to their playstyle.

The modder lists pegasi, unicorns, white wolves, arboreal griffon, a lake dragon, and "questing beasts" in the lineup of new wood elves units, and from the screenshots of these (check some out below), they look like excellent additions to the forest-dwelling warriors.

January 7, 2021 The Asrai Resurgent update is now live in Total War: Warhammer 2's main branch.

Total War: Warhammer 2's Asrai Resurgent update is now live in the main game branch, following several weeks in beta over the holidays. The major update to the fantasy strategy game makes some key changes to content introduced in Twisted & The Twilight DLC, following player frustration with some of its mechanics.

Specifically, version 1.10.1 makes some initial changes to how the Forge of Daith works in the Sisters of Twilight campaign. In line with some of Creative Assembly's promised changes, the 'Asrai Resurgent' update makes two key alterations to the Forge of Daith. First, items will revert back to their previous upgrade level when a Reforging expires, instead of dropping down to its base level. Second, the 'Naestra leaves' option now reduces the timer until the next new item is offered, by two turns.

Creative Assembly has also done a pass on the whole pool of items available from the Forge, and the upshot here is that the Reforged items are getting "significantly" buffed, enough to make them "viable choices in comparison to permanent upgrades."
