The exception is Morathi's Cult of Pleasure who spread Chaos corruption. Most Dark Elves factions do not spread corruption and instead spread Untainted.Skaven spread both Untainted and their own Skaven Corruption (see below).The Empire, Dwarfs, Bretonnia, Greenskins, High Elves, Wood Elves, Tomb Kings and Lizardmen do not spread corruption, instead spreading untainted.Prior to this, effects would just say something like "reduction in vampiric/chaos corruption". Untainted was added in Total War: Warhammer II. Factions which do not spread corruption tend to have buildings, commandments and character abilities that reduce corruption/increase untainted. Untainted is anti-corruption, or the absence of corruption. Some army stances can protect that army against corruption and attrition.Ĭharacters belonging to other factions may gain certain traits when spending too much time in corrupted regions. If public order gets too low in a corrupted province, then either a Vampiric, Chaos or Skaven uprising will occur instead of a standard rebellion. However races who spread corruption tend to not get along well with others. Spreading corruption does not, by itself, affect diplomacy with other factions. For instance, Vampire Counts can be harmed by Chaos corruption.Ĭorruption / Untainted can be spread by the presence of armies, some items, the presence of heroes, certain buildings, commandments and also some character skills and followers. However, even a faction with its own corruption to spread can be harmed by other types of corruption. There are 3 kinds of corruption, each with different effects: Chaos corruption, Vampiric corruption and Skaven corruption, in addition to Untainted.Ĭorruption physically changes the appearance of the campaign map.īroadly speaking, factions which do not spread corruption are harmed by corruption effects, taking hits to public order and even attrition damage if total corruption exceeds 50%.
