This update arrives alongside The Queen & The Crone Lords pack, bringing a huge array of content additions, revisions, and improvements to Total War: WARHAMMER II and the Mortal Empires campaign as well as many bug fixes and balance changes.
The Resurgent update brings full implementation of the Norsca Race Pack to Mortal Empires. This includes all content from the original Norsca Race Pack for Total War: WARHAMMER, alongside new Monster Hunt quests and technologies to more fully integrate the race into the Mortal Empires campaign setting. Ownership of the Norsca Race Pack is required to play as Norsca in Mortal Empires.
This update also brings the 30th anniversary Regiments of Renown from Total War: WARHAMMER, bolstering the forces of the Beastmen, Norsca, Warriors of Chaos, and Wood Elves with 30 unique elite unit variants in the Mortal Empires campaign.
Finally, a host of extras have been added to switch up WARHAMMER II and Mortal Empires. These include:
All Elven races now gain the Shrine of Khaine campaign mechanic:
The Sword of Khaine, a powerful blade of legend, is buried beneath the Shrine of Khaine. The first Elven race to build the Shrine to the Widowmaker building at the Shrine of Khaine will gain the blade, which may be equipped to any general.
The Sword of Khaine hugely magnifies a general’s combat prowess – but there is a cost in the campaign game for wielding the blade…
Any faction who defeats the wielder may claim the Sword of Khaine. Thus, only Elven races may unearth it, but all races may subsequently claim and wield the sword.
High Elves have gained two new technologies: From the Shadowlands and Strength of Avelorn
Ungrim Ironfist now begins the Mortal Empires campaign at Karak Kadrin and gains the ability Red Ruin
Dwarves now gain the Giant Slayers unit
Dwarf Forging: Dwarven factions may now craft unique magic items, weapons and more using a new resource called Oathgold

Hide
По балансу-царей порезали(в основном сфинксов во всех видах),Империю и вампиров усилили.
Артиллерию должны перестать выносить при авторасчете в 90% случаев,коэфиценты авторасчета некоторых отрядов переделаны(они утверждают что "синей волны" больше не будет).Раненных ЛЛ присоединенной фракции снова можно нанять(а то они почему то начали пропадать из игры с концами).ИИ больше не должен уклоняться от всех залпов артиллерии.Скавенам доделали систему еды и ИИ больше не должен быть ничтожным голодранцем с нулем еды(как Бретонцы до ME).
