The races announced with the game are the human civilizations of Kislev (based on Medieval Russia) and Grand Cathay (based on Imperial China), and factions based on the four Chaos Gods (Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh).

Players engage in diplomacy with, and fight against, AI-controlled factions. In the campaign, players move armies around the map and manage settlements in a turn-based manner.
