Warhammer Total War: Warhammer III

Kislev's Boris: Faction- and Lord-effects

Start positions on the WH3 main campaign map

The LL-less gap between Katarin's and Greasus' starting positions will be eventually filled with Chaos Dwarfs.

I'm confused. Where is the world map? I thought WH3 was the grand finale with ALL factions on one map?

 

[fizzelopeguss]

That'll be their vortex style campaign map.

There are, but I skimmed some of the streams to see if there were any major gameplay improvements (there weren't), and everything north of the frozen sea appears to be 100% demon.

I'm sure at some point someone will make a map showing the distribution of every faction at game start.

From watching bits and pieces of streams, there's at least ogre, dwarfs, skaven, beastmen and warriors of chaos minor factions North of the frozen seas. But the bulk of the factions is made of the mono-god factions

The full map will be available a few weeks after launch, like with Mortal Empire in WH 2

Apparently there's also mini-campaigns, with one set in Kislev and the other in Cathay, a bit like those from the beastmen and wood elves back in the first game, except this time you'll be able to choose your faction and it's available in MP.

Does that mean they will be releasing the actual world map later in a patch like they did the last time?

I like mini campaigns. I also like Vortex style campaigns. Total War’s sand box “paint the map” style just doesn’t work anymore.

 

[Fedora Master]

They said they would drop mini campaigns after Wh1 because nobody enjoyed them.

They said they would drop mini campaigns after Wh1 because nobody enjoyed them.

I remember they said they were going to focus on polishing new factions instead of mini campaigns. I personally don’t find DLC sub-factions any good, and buy them only to get access to their lords and units (obvious cash grab). The mechanics they introduce are gimmicky, shallow and overpowered. The only good DLC for Twarhammer 2 was Tomb Kings.

On the other hand I had much joy playing Beastmen mini-campaign in the first game.

The victory conditions are terrible, but there's a mod for that. I'd like to see more involved questlines for each faction that are lore-related in some way, like Throt wanting to eat Ariel. What I want to see the most, however, is better battle gameplay...

 

[underground nymph]

mod

Mods are garbage. They focus on fixing one thing without addressing repercussions that follow.

It's single player game. Why do you need a mod to tell you that you won the game?
Just end the campaign when you get bored with it.

If I do that, I won't get achievement

 

[Lacrymas]

Why have victory conditions in any game if you can stop at any time and say you've won? This seems like a bizarre argument.

 

[_V_]

Well, they could re-introduce some sort of end video for factions/lords...

 

[Fedora Master]

 

[Fedora Master]

Zerkovich is like the only guy who makes actually relevant videos it seems.

 

[Mitleser2020]

Chaos Dwarfs DLC soon

 

[Tyrr]

I'm not really interested in the new campaign. I hope the mortal empires map comes soon.

 

[Fedora Master]

By the way, the Cathay roster is of course NOT split into men - melee/women - ranged like people said at first as a cope.

As I predicted, they used their free hand to add as many stronk womyn as possible for no reason, because CA is that sort of company.

 

[Mitleser2020]

I wonder why they nonetheless made the male-led order sub-factions melee-focused and their female counterparts ranged-focused.

 

[zapotec]

ahh so the chinese are the progressive faction where women fight alongside men

 

[tabacila]

Chaos Dwarfs DLC soon

By the same logic Araby DLC incoming as well

 

[Fedora Master]

Dawi Zharr are a given considering the focus of the game.

 

[FreeKaner]

They said they are in partnership with Games Workshop to create races for WH3. Chaos Dwarves is in for sure, Araby might need a lot of make up but it isn't unlikely either.

 

[Mazisky]

Mortal Empires is the only way to go.

The WH3 is too scripted, forced goals with time limit and 90% of the time you are playing on the same boring wasteland or frozen maps with 0 environmental variation

 

[Jaedar]

Dawi Zharr are a given considering the focus of the game.

Indeed. The only real question is if there will be a 2nd full race, and what it will then be (Ind? Dogs of war? Nagash?).

 

[Mitleser2020]

Chaos Dwarfs DLC soon

By the same logic Araby DLC incoming as well

It is one of several hints.
The best players who want Araby can hope for are Arabian units in the Dogs of War roster like Al Muktar's Desert Dogs.

On the tabletop, they're a fast light cavalry unit, although they come with three hero units. Al Muktar has no magic items but has the most impressive stat line. Shufti is somewhat less skilled, but has a magic scimitar that increases his strength. Ibn carries the unit's banner, which makes all wounds dealt by Al Muktar count double for combat resolution. They seem pretty serviceable, as light cavalry goes.

Another hint.

Start positions on the WH3 main campaign map

The LL-less gap between Katarin's and Greasus' starting positions will be eventually filled with Chaos Dwarfs.

They are more likely to make Border Princes less generic as GW intends to do than do Araby.
