Total War: WARHAMMER Linux specifications announced for the release tomorrow, Mesa supported for AMD
Total War: WARHAMMER [Steam, Feral Store] comes to Linux tomorrow and it’s good news for AMD GPU users as Mesa will be officially supported on normal Linux distributions, but not on SteamOS.
Thanks to recent strides in Mesa development, Feral Interactive have been able to officially support AMD cards with this release. We may even have a fresh interview with Feral coming soon, stay tuned on that.
Minimum requirements
3.4GHz Intel Core i3-4130
3.5GHz AMD FX6300 processor
4GB RAM
1GB Nvidia 650ti/2GB AMD R9 270 graphics card* or better.
Recommended requirements
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4770 processor
8GB RAM
4GB Nvidia 970/4GB AMD RX 480 graphics card* or better.
*Nvidia cards require 367.28 drivers or newer. AMD cards require Mesa 13.0.1 drivers compiled using LLVM 3.9 or newer. AMD graphics cards are not supported when running SteamOS.
I will likely have a port report, benchmarks and thoughts up at release tomorrow.
I imagine the game will be released on Linux in the early afternoon UTC tomorrow, like what has happened with the previous releases from Feral. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

What about Intel GPUs :( ?
No official support, there are a few rendering issues specific to Intel that we're looking at working around.
It's possible the Intel Iris Pro GPUs might get support in a future update but the weaker none IrisPro GPUs are unlikely to ever be supported as they don't have the performance needed. We'll certainly update everyone if the position on Intel GPUs changes.
