Southern Realms are a race introduced in Total War: Warhammer.

It refers to a group of minor human factions who are grouped together in diplomacy. In Total War: Warhammer this is sometimes referred to as TEB. These factions have their own separate cultures in Warhammer Fantasy lore, but are only a bit different from The Empire in the Total War: Warhammer series.

Due to being a different race they cannot be confederated with by any Empire playable factions.

In Campaign[ | ]

Southern Realms use the same buildings as The Empire. Since they're only minor factions they often lose their battles against playable factions nearby, like Clan Skryre, Pirates of Sartosa, Warherd of the Shadowgave or Hexoatl. As such, they often do not survive for very long unless the player destroys any nearby threat.

Although they're very similar to the Empire currently, they do not have any special relations with them. Diplomacy-wise it's a lot easier to build relations with them as a neutral or order faction, but even order factions will need to go to great lengths.

Their buildings are also the same as The Empire buildings, however instead of the Temple of Sigmar they have a Temple of Myrmidia.

In Battle[ | ]

General[ | ]

Southern Realm armies are pretty focussed on infantry due to the TEB factions only having lower tier troops. Their armies mainly consist of cheap sword and spear infantry with some archers and basic infantry.

New World Colonies and Sudenburg armies consist of a more balanced combination, having access to the full Empire roster they can also use higher tier artillery and cavalry when surviving for long enough.

Units[ | ]

Main article: The Empire unit roster

Not all Southern Realms factions have access to the full roster. Tilea, Estalia and the Border Princes only have access to tier 1-3 troops, while Sudenburg and New World Colonies have access to all units.
