Endgame events are a big deal for Total War players. Most of us remember the Mongols and Timurids invading in Medieval 2—both the sense of anticipation as we prepared for their arrival, and the monumental battles that took place as we tried to survive their onslaught. They're just one of the many features that make Total War campaigns so special.
The original Total War: Warhammer did it pretty well, too, teasing Archaon's arrival and the Chaos invasion before having all the Warriors of Chaos lords unite in a sweeping tide of destruction that ravaged its way through Kislev and the Empire. Still, it never felt complete while we lacked daemons and much of the expanded Chaos roster, and truth be told, it was never all that much of a threat to the world at large.
