Total War: Warhammer trilogy
Determination: Explicit — Corruption 3
Witch Hunters, Flagellants and Warrior Priests are recruitable units, under a pope-equivalent called the Grand Theogonist.
The three Total War: Warhammer games form one continuous campaign map and are assessed as a single release for that reason. The Empire faction is governed alongside the Cult of Sigmar, whose head is the Grand Theogonist, and whose institutions are transposed from Christian history with little alteration. The player recruits Witch Hunters, who burn heretics and root out corruption; Flagellants, whose unit design is built on self-scourging and who fight harder as they suffer; Warrior Priests, who cast prayers as battlefield abilities; and templar knightly orders. Heresy, relics, saints, cathedrals and crusading are ordinary vocabulary of the faction's mechanics rather than flavour text.
