* In the Empire Campaign, Karl Franz begins with [[WithThisHerring less power than he has in the lore]] and doesn't even wield any of his symbols of office like [[DropTheHammer Ghal Maraz]], because [[DudeWheresMyRespect the Elector-Counts are still grumpy]] and will even call the Franz's own diplomatic overtures an insult... to the Emperor. By the time the Empire has its victory conditions filled, Karl Franz will hold more power than any Emperor has held in the past except - perhaps - [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Sigmar]] himself.

* The [[GondorCallsForAid Shield of Civilization]]. In a series famous for its [[ArtificialStupidity daft AI]] prone to sudden betrayals to the point where it is often deemed not worth the effort to attempt diplomacy, we finally get a game where it pays off. Besides Confederation which allows you to assimilate fellows of the same culture into your faction (meaning you get the same direct control you'd otherwise only get by conquest), when the End Times comes knocking Men and Dwarfs put aside their differences to unite against Chaos - resulting in a massive diplomatic bonus that will make it easy to confederate those who remain of your culture and ally with those who are not. Then when it actually ''beats'' the End Times, it becomes a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming as well as prior to the devs patching it in an update (and even sometimes afterwards), the alliances forged would ''last'' in spite of the fact that the game says everyone will go back to killing each other once Chaos was defeated. In the Total War set in a world where that kind of warmongering would be perfectly fitting, diplomacy was not only worth a damn, but in many ways it yielded a superior result!

* [[https://youtu.be/YpJ4V8g9eBc The Siege of Karak Kadrin]], a fanmade map that has become a great example of how much potential has been given to the mod-Community. Many fans were disappointed that the siege-battles against the Dwarfs were not much more than slightly tougher siege battles. This map, that was made in less than a week, gives a much more lore-accurate and awesome image of how much hell can be unleashed against anyone crazy enough to siege a dwarfen Karak.

* For fans of Sigvald the Magnificent, [[AwesomeEgo of]] [[EvilIsSexy which]] [[LoveToHate there]] [[EvilIsCool are]] [[VillainProtagonist many]], paying Throgg back for Sigvald's (rather deserved) fate during ''The End Times'' is possible in a chaos campaign. This can lead to Sigvald ''wiping out'' Wintertooth.
* As Chaos, it is possible to, after achieving a long campaign victory, destroy the rest of the factions as well, including your allies. Not only are you bringing the End Times, you truly have caused the apocalypse.

* [[https://youtu.be/YpJ4V8g9eBc The Siege of Karak Kadrin]], a fanmade map that has become a great example of how much potential has been given to the mod-Community. Many fans were dissapointed that the siege-battles against the Dwarves were not much more than slightly tougher siege battles. This map, that was made in less than a week, gives a much more lore-accurate and awesome image of how much hell can be unleashed against anyone crazy enough to siege a dwarfen Karak.

* On a meta level, the success of the game itself counts as one. While a fantasy themed Total War was clearly desired from the various mods converting a title into a fantasy setting no one actually knew how well it would do in reality. Quite a number of people were skeptical if the Warhammer license would work and if Total War should stick with historical games. These doubts were quickly blown away, with the game's release becoming the fastest selling Total War title ever! With the game considered one of the most polished and optimized in the series (especially compared to the notorious launch of Rome II), and it remained on the Steam top sellers list for almost two months following its release.

* Razing enough settlements as Norsca to earn the full favor of one Chaos God. Then fighting and killing the champions of the other three gods you chose not to follow. Earning the attention of Archaon who calls you to join his chaos invasion and bring ruin to the world...

** For that matter, crushing Sarthorael the Ever-Watcher, often at the same time as Archaon ([[spoiler: or in the chaos campaign, ''as'' him]]). Savvy players ([[spoiler: and anyone who's finished the Chaos campaign]]) will realize that [[JustAsPlanned he's been candidly taunting you]] [[spoiler: via the adviser]] throughout the game, which makes it all the more cathartic to pluck a few of his feathers. ManipulativeBastard though he may be, it's doubtful that [[DidntSeeThatComing being tackled from behind by an enraged griffin was all a part of his master plan]].
