What Warhammer-specific mechanics were added to the Total War engine for Warhammer: Total War?
I have played a lot of the older titles in the Total War series, but I know almost nothing about Warhammer. As the title suggests, I would like to know the crucial differences between the new title of the series and the older ones.
I know that the older titles aren't all the same and I can't formulate the question perfectly, but Total War: Warhammer probably has multiple additions or innovations when compared to the earlier titles (due to it being based in fantasy vs. history).
What I'm looking for is an overview/comparison for a player who isn't versed in the Warhammer universe, but who has played nearly every former Total War game. I could watch some live streams or gameplay videos, but I don't want to spoil myself on the plot of the game by doing so.

Is Total War: Warhammer based on Warhammer?
Total War: Warhammer is a turn-based/real-time strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by SEGA, based in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy universe.Is Total War: Warhammer and Warhammer 40k related?
No, other than WH Fantasy and 40k are owned by Games Workshop. There is some overlap, e.g. both have elves and orcs, but 40k gives them guns and says they are Eldar and Orks now. They also both feature the same main evil - 4 Chaos Gods.What engine is Total War?
