Why the expansion is considered large-scale
In addition to adding four new lords, 'Lords of the End Times' includes an extensive set of new units, campaigns, and scenarios, as well as significant changes to the endgame crisis system. According to the developers, this will allow players to experience new strategic challenges and expand the possibilities for both single-player and multiplayer gameplay.
Overall, the release of the DLC promises to be an important event for fans of the series and the fantasy world of Warhammer, giving them the opportunity to complete an epic campaign on a grand scale.
