Dominated by force of arms and magic, W.A.R. provides a rich setting for players to experience the glory of battle and the epic nature of a war ravaging the Old World. Players can experience many different kinds of adventures, with the chance to play together as a group or individually, through different types of PvP* or PvE*.
Every aspect of the game – every player, every quest, every encounter, and every battle – can turn the tide of the ongoing war and mean victory for your Realm!
- Fight for the Realms of Order (Dwarfs, High Elves, and Empire) or Destruction (Greenskins, Dark Elves, and Chaos) in a war being waged across thirty-three massive battlefields.
- Take part in Realm vs. Realm™ warfare and battle for the supremacy of your realm! With an army of allied players at your back, you will defend your homeland, invade enemy realms, and ultimately lead the siege of your enemy’s Capital City.
- For the first time ever, players can engage in Public Quests™ - multi-stage, communal quests to be completed by allied players fighting together against overwhelming odds.
- Embark on an epic quest to complete the Tome of Knowledge, a veritable encyclopaedia of the game, and unlock Warhammer lore, detailed monster information, new abilities and rewards, and major story plotlines.

Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.
Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn’t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.
The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
