Judas Priest

Background image for the Judas Priest dilemma.

Judas Priest is an exclusive dilemma for the Tomb Kings racial factions introduced in Total War: Warhammer II.

This lesser of two evils principle forces the player to chose a temporaryfactionwide penalty, either a major hero action cost increase; or a moderate enemy hero action success chance bonus.

In-game description

Liche Priests should live only to serve their king's undying will. Betrayal should be anathema to their order, yet one among their number has betrayed us by conspiring with a rival Tomb King. How should we proceed?

Requirements

• Player is a Tomb Kings racial faction

Trigger timing

• As soon as all requirements are met there is a random chance the dilemma will trigger immediately.

Options

Option 1: Bury him!

• Liche Priest Buried
  • Turns remaining: 10 turns
  • Hero action cost : +40% (all characters)

Let's see how he views the concept of loyalty one thousand years hence!

One thousand years confined to his tomb, with maybe just a few scarabs and scorpions for company, should teach this treacherous cleric the error of his ways!

Option 2: Ignore him

• Liche Priest Ignored
  • Turns remaining: 10 turns
  • Enemy Hero action success chance : +15% (all characters)

In the final analysis, he is our servant: he will feel an overwhelming urge to obey!

Let him talk, allow him his intrigue and scheming, for in the end everyone serves their Unliving liege, one way or another.

Trivia

• The dilemma's title, Judas Priest, is also the name of a heavy metal band from the United Kingdom. It refers to the Liche Priest who betrays the player, similar to Judas from the Bible.
