The Paths to Glory system affects your lords and heroes and acts as an additional way you can evolve your characters and customize them. You can unlock new gift slots through the technology tree, while unlocking wholly new higher level gifts will require you to spend souls in the Paths to Glory system.

It takes at least one turn after activating a gift for its effect to grace your faction, but these gifts are flexible and can be easily swapped at any point, as long as you can pay the Souls fee and upkeep. Gifts of Chaos can grant all sorts of effects – from supplying you with a steady source of gifted daemonic units to fold into your armies, to giving factionwide buffs to replenishment the economy or another facet of your empire. Not every Warriors of Chaos legendary lord will have access to all gods, as some lords are already dedicated to a specific god and can only receive gifts from them or from Undivided Chaos. In an unlocked slot you can place a Gift of Chaos by paying a fee in Souls up front, as well as a consistent upkeep to maintain the gift’s effects. In this menu you’ll see slots shaped to the symbols for each of the four Chaos Gods and Chaos Undivided. However, the mortals can petition their patron gods for support to grant them powerful gifts to help spur on their dark crusade.Įvery legendary lord will have their own customized Gifts of Chaos menu, found above the End Turn button. Since the Warriors of Chaos are the non-Daemonic followers of the Chaos gods, they lack the full breadth of magical abilities and features of their immortal counterparts. Occasionally they may be needed for events to trigger some kind of positive effect or mitigate a negative one. Souls are primarily used for the Gifts of Chaos and Paths to Glory features (see below). Some legendary lords also have additional ways of earning souls that suits their particular playstyle. This essentially disincentivizes you from fighting the Daemonic factions of Chaos as they offer little in the way of Souls. Souls are earned through killing mortals of all kinds, be it in battle or taking over settlements. Just like most factions across the Total War: Warhammer series, the Warriors of Chaos get their very own unique special currency – Souls.
