1. Shockingly same-y factions that play almost identically, both on the strategy and battle map. The races' lore isn't utilized in any interesting way. Where are the orc spores? Zombies and skeletons have public order problems? Even mechanics which are there, like vampiric corruption, are easily ignorable or circumvented by building one building.
2. The strategy and tactics are simple spreadsheets with braindead solutions to made-up problems (like the aforementioned public order problems zombies seem to have). There are 0 notable differences between black orcs, Empire greatswords, graveguard or chosen beyond minuscule stat changes. There are realistically only 4-5 units in the whole game - basic infantry, heavy infantry, ranged, cavalry, and monsters.
3. Really similar battles due to point 2 that are made worse by the fact there is a very obvious meta which is far and above anything else you can field. The incompetent AI doesn't help here. This point can't be overstated because battles are basically predetermined, it's all about number crunching in the background and there's very little you can do to radically change an outcome of a battle in the vast majority of cases.
4. Even though everything is excruciatingly streamlined, some factions and LLs still end up freakishly overpowered or borderline unplayable due to how weak they are.
5. Terrible battle engine that makes melee units in combat behave like water molecules, the ranks bunch up awkwardly and wait for the units in-front of them to die in order to replace them. You know what I'm talking about.
6. Magic and ranged are too overpowered, once you get one vortex spell you can defeat 3-4 full armies in a single battle by spamming that alone.
7. Unplayable sieges due to many, many problems. The maps are too big, with winding streets that even 1 unit has problems navigating; the walls are actually a burden to the defender and fighting on top of the walls is still bugged to this day; the AI can't utilize these maps at all and just bunches up on the walls, which just makes them easy targets for artillery; etc. etc.
8. Town advancement goes (optional) military buildings -> public order building -> money building. Everything else is irrelevant and this schema gets copy/pasted in each province with no variation.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are *so* many issues with this game that I have no idea why it's so popular, especially in the face of much, much better games in its own franchise, including the much-maligned Troy.

I am aware and understand all those issues but thank you for writing them down. But that mostly seems to me like a missed opportunity with Warhammer Fantasy setting than it being a straight bad Total War game.
What are other TW games doing differently? I'm asking for reasons to try out the other ones as my only other point of reference is Rome 15 or so years ago.

Best TW recent games are imho 3 Kingdoms, Atilla and Troy. 3K is good in every way, only got shitty DLCs.
Warhammer is full guilty pleasure, it has lots of issues but there isn't any other grand strategy game that you can order bloodthirsty minotaurs into poor Empire soldiers in an ambush battle.
Or melting things with Skaven weapon teams.
Or moving entire armies with a demon lord.

It is just a bad TW game on top of setting misuse. Rome Remastered would've been the best historical TW if the pathfinding wasn't so bad. Shogun 2 is probably the best historical one if you can stomach the setting, but I prefer Rome. If you want TW fantasy done right, Troy is where it's at. Not that it doesn't have some problems, it does, but it's much closer to what WH should've been.

Alright, I already own Troy as I love Greek mythology so I'll try it out soon. And put Three Kingdoms with Attila on the list.

What is wrong with Shogun 2 setting?

What about Rome 2 with Divide Et Impera? Is that worth my time?

Lacrymas · May 21, 2023

There's nothing wrong with Shogun's setting, I just don't find Japan all that interesting. As for Rome 2, I wouldn't. Even though they patched the hell out of it, it's still broken in many respects and the fundamentals just aren't there. Rome 1 is better in every way.

The two points refer to different things. The spreadsheet-like combat is when units are attacking each other, there's not much you can do in that context because battles really are predetermined due to the fact the game crunches numbers in the background, tactics are irrelevant in the vast majority of cases. Magic is active abilities that are basically on top of everything else and don't work like anything in the game (which is bad). The only active part you realistically have in combat is freakishly overpowered and negates the whole battle simulation aspect of this battle simulation game. So you either just watch puppets mash into each other with predetermined results or spam a single ability that wins the entire game for you. Magic doesn't complement the regular gameplay, it's a minigame all on its own that has the potential to be the whole game.

Ehh, for some races, some times, having a good formation is key to winning battles. Once units start clashing you basically lose control though, that's true.

It's basically only true if you aren't using ranged heavy (or range only) armies though.

Lacrymas said:

It sort of can. Line spells encourage you to try and draw the enemy forces into a straight line, which interfaces with the tactical positioning. Aoe spells encourage drawing them in to a clump. Vortex spells don't really complement though, since you're too likely to wipe out your own dudes.

Lacrymas · May 21, 2023

The whole problem is that once you introduce unit tiers in the mix, you immediately see how it's all about the spreadsheeting and background number crunching, regardless of positioning or formations. There are a lot of youtube videos showcasing this exact thing. In Shogun 2, Yari Ashigaru are relevant throughout the whole game because it's not about abstracted and arbitrary numbers, it's about how these units would behave in a real battlefield. Range damage in WH works exactly the same way as melee, but it also has its own problems on top of that, like how units fire directly at a target rather than in a huge arc to cover more ground (like archers would do irl), so that's why you can waste the entire enemy army's ammo with your LL by moving them left to right and back. Magic is just icing on the cake, the actually relevant spells (mostly vortex and other aoe damage spells) are freakishly overpowered and win battles all on their own, while the other types (buffs, debuffs) are never used. It's just not engaging gameplay.

lol
Yari Ashigaru are relevant throughout the whole game because their unique ability(which makes no sense that it's not used by other yari units as well) gives them absurd stat boosts.

fizzelopeguss · May 21, 2023

I fired up Rome 2 the other day for a quick skirmish blast, and I was shocked at how much more responsive it is than WHIII.

copebot · May 21, 2023

Every TW has the same combat system in terms of how the numbers work, although the older ones that have a much more binary HP system feel very different. Going back to S2 can be a surprise when you are used to chunky Warhammer/3K/Troy units. The main differences between the games are in the engine used and how animations work. Often times the animations impact greatly how the unit actually performs. The main problem for me with the older games is that as bad as you think the AI is now, the AI was a lot worse in the older games. S2's AI is intensely suicidal and stupid for example. There are so many ways to bait the AI to divide its army and suicide its units. Playing an M2 campaign last year, the other thing that struck me was how incredibly bad the AI was on the campaign map as well.

On to WH3 discussion. I just finished my Tzeentch campaign. I think the WoC units and lords that the DLC added make the race a lot better. The tradeoff between the Heralds/Exalted Lord of Change (ELOC) or the Sorcerer Lords / Demon Prince upgrades are interesting. The Sorc Lords are better leaders of troops because of their barrier replenishment passive and their superior red line of abilities, but the heralds / ELOC have better casting, Greater Arcane Conduit, and are pretty good in combat as well. I think generally, in the early game, you are better off just not promoting them, but in the later game, it's great to have the upgraded guys. The Demon Princes have a good hybrid metal/Tzeentch casting combo, but it's bad to upgrade a metal herald because they just turn into a metal ELOC, which is way worse than a pure Tzeentch caster. A sorcerer metal hero is a good companion in any army because they also get the 15% barrier replenishment to army passive, which stacks with the .2% barrier replenish per second passive of the Sorcerer Lord. Since you will generally have tons of WoM, the metal caster can be great for dumping a unit's armor to zero and otherwise buffing/debuffing to clinch an engagement while your other spells are on cooldown.

Tzeentch is kind of like Nurgle in terms of its pacing on the campaign map. Your economy might be one of the best in the game, but kind of like how Nurgle only gets super powerful when you unlock the Black Plague 200% sack income symptom, Tzeentch only gets really strong when you have lots of corruption for consistent Winds of Magic gains, you have a few full provinces so you can ensure that you keep magic strong, and everything is upgraded to all Tier 3 at a minimum. Once you have the cash building and the +%province building built in each settlement, the cash rolls in. The early game is rough going apart from the absurd power of your magic. Changing of the Ways only really gets powerful once you unlock more of the abilities. Break Alliance has great synergy with one of the ancillaries that you can get from fighting in allied territory that reduces the cost by 30%. Once you get four of them, you can break any alliance at will, which also nearly guarantees that your target will go to war with their ex-partner.

Tzeentch suffers a bit against high armor races, but it has enough specialist tools that you can get around it. Chaos Warriors and Chosen with Halberds are both key for dealing with high armor and large units, but they don't have great MA. Their Chaos Knights are amazing. Flamers are powerful shock ranged units, but they need a particular setup to get the most out of to avoid too much friendly fire or being utterly clobbered by fast moving units. They're a lot harder to use than irondrakes, blunderbusses, iron hail gunners, ratling guns, and other similar short range weapon teams.

Bohrain · May 22, 2023

Flamers are supposed to be their primary AP tool, but they have a tendency to shoot over the enemy. And since they have lower entity count than warpfire throwers or irondrakes, one model missing it's shot affects their DPS more.

I found them most useful in packs of 2-5, but then you have to build the rest of your army around protecting them if you make too many, so I didn't really find it that viable in campaign for a general purpose stack. To make them good, you have to know you have both total ranged superiority and total speed superiority. If you know you can establish that every time, then great, they will absolutely wreck. But if you can't establish that early on in the battle, there's a good chance that the unit(s) will be marginal because they will be trucked by enemy ranged units that are formed up and fast movers will also crush them.

Early game, I found going marauder-heavy to be more reliable with maybe 1-2 flamers tops. They occasionally were really awesome, but only when the situation permitted it, like in one battle in which they saved my radically out-powered marauder stack from being obliterated by chosen, chaos warriors, and chaos knights. My super late game stacks were mostly chosen with halberds, some shield chosen, 2-4 knights, maybe a Doom Knight thrown in there, possibly a couple Soul Grinders, and 1-2 LOC. Almost nothing gives that trouble. Toss in 0-5 pink or exalted pink horrors for good measure, but they're not that necessary.

This is Total Warhammer

copebot · May 24, 2023

I started a Miao Ying campaign in IE. I did a Zhao campaign in RoC not that long after launch, but CA made some changes to the faction's mechanics and to the busted ranged pathfinding, so it's a bit of a different experience.

I decided early on that I was going to rush Clan Eshin as quickly as I could. I forgot about Vilich up there in the Red Fortress, so he busted through the Great Wall and started tormenting me while I was fighting down in the mountains. Although I managed to chew my way through the rats to the south, Vilich kept spam teleporting on my shitty peasant armies that were trying to get into position. He razed the Terracota settlement at least a couple times, wounded Gotrek once, and killed off a few crappy lords. He teleport-ambushed my rice farmers something like eight times, but if there's something that the Chinese are good at, it's dying in enormous quantities for a greater purpose.

But it didn't really matter, because Zhatan killed him off, and I was able to mop him up as I was returning from ratland. Vilich could have blown up at least one major settlement, but he just focused on teleporting on crappy armies and razing one minor settlement a couple times. Lokhir started taking settlements at around that point, but he just funneled mostly to the south taking the worthless, empty settlements that I'd just taken from Eshin. He left his built-up provinces only lightly defended, and I got rid of them without much trouble before looping back to where I had just been fighting the skaven. Overall, Lokhir was a lot weaker than he should have been. The AI recruited tons of dreadspears, a large number of hydras, and only a shade here and there. One of their fire wizards probably killed more of my guys in two burning head casts than the rest of his armies all put together in battle.

Since launch, they made it so that you can no longer convert buildings from one yin/yang valence to another. The way that I've dealt with this is just to try to leave some vacant building slots, and likewise when I have to rebalance to just destroy the growth or PO buildings that I had in that slot just for the points. I just pay attention to my research and am sure to rebalance whenever it's about to complete research on something that changes my balance. One thing that strikes me is that Cathay's tech tree is probably the most powerful one in the game, especially compared to most of the demon races. All of your units get insanely boosted with stacking buffs and most of them are incredibly cheap and easy to recruit. Iron Hail gunners are like diet blunderbusses with extra safety features, but they're good now, especially compared to how busted their line of sight was at launch. It's not necessarily that you make a lot of gross income, but the caravans, cheap upkeep, cheap construction, cheap public order, and unit roster make them really strong.

Average Manatee · May 25, 2023

Yeah maintaining Harmony + the growth compass action = massive income and quick development, feels almost like reducing the difficulty down a notch or two. They also amass a lot of the +3 recruit rank followers for jade warriors which makes for some very strong and cost effective mid-tier armies.

I just use heroes or lords for balance shenanigans. Then your only problem for balance became the confederations.

Lacrymas · May 25, 2023

They didn't have the balls to do the only thing that would've mattered regarding the balance thing - making units have a yin/yang "cost" - so Cathay is neutered mechanically atm and you don't engage with their mechanics at all. The Wu Xi compass is only ever useful when set on one side (the one which gives growth and income) and caravans are not only boring but also become unwieldy once they start getting regularly attacked by more powerful armies.

InD_ImaginE · May 25, 2023

In the end of the day the old factions are not different enough is indeed a problem. Mechanics of faction in general are just few percentage difference in number in the end of the day

In some way I can somewhat understand that decision from balancing perspective. If every single faction is as specialized like the Wood Elves, and is even more specialized it would just destroy balance in a very rock paper scissor wise per faction

RELEASE SPOTLIGHT
NEW LEGENDARY HERO – FREE DLC
Update 3.1 sees the introduction of a new Legendary Hero to the world of WARHAMMER III!
Who, you may well ask? Thing is, we don’t want to spoil the surprise just yet…
Instead, we suggest you tune into the WARHAMMER SKULLS event at 17:00 BST today, hosted by Games Workshop over at www.twitch.tv/Warhammer to celebrate 40 years of WARHAMMER and hear the beans being spilled!

THE WILL OF HASHUT – NEW ENDGAME CRISIS

Hashut, the Dark Father, deity of the Chaos Dwarfs, stirs. He whispers designs of malice and tyranny to the Dawi-Zharr, whose cruelty and greed are stoked by their infernal master.
The Chaos Dwarfs seek to expand their empire, exploiting and exterminating all who stand before them! A network of invasion tunnels has been bored from the Dark Lands to the far reaches of the Warhammer world, and legions of Dawi-Zharr march with impunity. Factions who would dare to stand against the Will of Hashut must infiltrate these tunnels to take the war to the very centre of the Chaos Dwarfs’ civilisation, for the only way to halt the crisis is to conquer Zharr-Naggrund itself.

REGIMENTS OF RENOWN IV
A delightful grab bag of some lower tier units are on the way to help bolster your armies including crafty Bandits, frolicking Nurglings, and bloodthirsty Hounds.
Let’s have a gander:
BANDITS OF THE SILVER ROAD (Peasant Archers)
GRAND CATHAY

These brigands have a fearsome reputation at home and in the west. They have even been hired by the Dragon rulers of their homeland, despite their indiscriminate pillaging.
DEV NOTE:
Armed with a buckler shield, flaming/flammable missile attacks and vanguard deployment, these Bandits are perfect for supporting Fire Rain Rocket Batteries with a handy Weakness to Fire debuff.
HOUNDS OF THE BLOOD HUNT (Flesh Hounds of Khorne)
KHORNE

Khorne’s loathing to see his chosen servants felled by the cowardly practice of the arcane is made manifest in Flesh Hounds mostly immune to hostile magic.
DEV NOTE:
These Khorne Dogs have the Dampen contact effect, which allows them to temporarily remove magical attacks. Use them in a flanking context to support your daemonic troops.
THE WATCHMEN IN THE NIGHT (Armoured Kossars)
KISLEV

The existence of the Tzarina’s secret police is no secret, for the Watchmen’s ranks are not just the spies who root out opposition to her rule, but also the toughest of her retinue.
DEV NOTE:
The Watchmen drop the pistols that Armoured Kossars usually use in favour of a second hand weapon, this makes them really solid anti-infantry combatants. The ability ‘Rabble-Rouse’ also helps to keep nearby troops immune to Fear and Terror.
THE FROLICKERS BUBONIC (Nurglings)
NURGLE

The acrid discharge of these Nurglings’ blisters inflicts wounds upon all those who strike them that may not outright kill, but painfully fester!
DEV NOTE:
These Nurglings have dropped the Cloud of Flies ability in favour of a new ability called Blisterback, which allows the unit to deal damage back at their opponents every time they are hit in melee. The lack of Cloud of Flies helps the unit get hit more often, which in turn triggers the damage reflection more often!
THE PRINCES OF PERFECTION (Devoted Marauders of Slaanesh – Spears)
SLAANESH

In the quest for perfection, one must revel in their obsessions and sacrifice everything for the Dark Prince.
DEV NOTE:
These are the staunchest spears that Slaanesh has access to. With perfect vigour and soporific musk, they are a perfect addition to any Slaanesh anvil line.
THE CHROMATIC ABOMINATIONS (Blue Horrors of Tzeentch)
TZEENTCH

For these Blue Horrors, defence is the best offence, emitting chromatic barriers to render incoming attacks futile as they inflict their own.
DEV NOTE:
These Blue Horrors have a bit more ammo than a standard unit, as well as having a powerful barrier replenishment ability that triggers any time a spell is cast on the battlefield (by a friendly or enemy spellcaster). Keep an eye on their barrier points and time your spells appropriately to get a nice boost!
BOGLARS OF THE MAD MARSHES (Gnoblars)
OGRE KINGDOMS

These so-called ‘Toad-Gnoblars’ were once a much-debated myth amongst scholars, said to have the ability to multiply at the merest contact with water.
DEV NOTE:
Boglars come with poison as standard, but also have the uncanny ability to regenerate entities when standing in water. Keep this unit firmly planted in the water for maximum combat effectiveness. Also, never feed a Boglar after midnight.

BRETONNIA UPDATE
We’re taking steps to bring Bretonnia up to speed in 3.1:
Campaign

Damsels now benefit from the Troth’s feature (much like the Knightly Vows feature that other characters benefit from).

The final Vow or Troth in the series grants permanent access to ‘The Blessing of the Lady’ for any character who obtains it.

Note: we had a look at providing notifications for the Vows and Troths system, but due to the way it was built back in the day, it was unachievable in the available time. Never say never, though!
Attribute & Ability Changes
The Blessing of the Lady stat bonuses have changed as follows:

The Blessing of the Lady now provides +15% Ward save instead of +25% Physical Resistance.

Physical Resistance isn’t what it used to be. When WARHAMMER III was released, the interaction between Magical Attacks and Physical Resistance changed, meaning that any unit with Magical Attacks could bypass and ignore the Physical Resistance of enemy units.

This left Bretonnia somewhat in the lurch (as all Daemons have Magical Attacks) meaning that The Blessing of the Lady was easy to bypass.

To address this, The Blessing of the Lady now grants Ward Save instead, which cannot be bypassed. This means that all units benefitting from this ability will have a much better time fighting Daemons and any foe wielding a magical weapon.

The Blessing of the Lady can now be equipped to units in custom battle:

Certain units (mostly Knights and non-Grail Knight characters) can opt to take Blessing of the Lady for 200 gold.

This does not affect Grail Knight characters or the Fey Enchantress, who always have blessing of the Lady equipped.

The interplay between Bretonnian Knights and Peasants is now represented by two new attributes – Knight and Peasant:

All Knights and Knight Characters have received the new ‘Knight’ attribute, and do not take any leadership penalties if any unit with the Peasant attribute routs nearby.

All Peasants have received the new ‘Peasant’ attribute, which has no inherent gameplay effects, but is used for ability and attribute targeting purposes.

Knights Errant have received a new passive ability – ‘Impetuous’.

When Knights Errant are charging, any friendly unit within 35m (including the Knights Errant) becomes Immune to Psychology for 30 seconds.

Note that Peasant units have had the Expendable attribute removed, as the Knight and Peasant Attributes now cover that gameplay interaction.
All Peasants have received a new passive ability, ‘The Peasants Duty’:

Peasants, Men-At-Arms, Battle Pilgrims, Squires, Bowmen, Yeomen and Trebuchets now gain +8 Leadership if a friendly unit with the Knight attribute is within 55m (the awe of standing near their glorious lieges is all they need to embolden their resolve).

Peasant Infantry overall have had their leadership reduced slightly to account for this change.

“They love a good charge, them Errant boys do.” – heard in a Tavern near Montfort.
Unit Changes
You can find many more unit changes listed below in the main body of the unit patch notes, but here are a few select highlights:
Grail Knights and Grail Guardians have been rebalanced at lower entity counts; 48 and 32, respectively.

We made this change to emphasise the heroism of the legendary Grail Knights of Bretonnia, as well as making their overall battlefield readability a bit better.

All of the Bretonnian cavalry units used to be composed of 60 entities, meaning that it was difficult to pick out various cavalry units at a distance. This is now a bit easier that the units are different sizes.

Both Grail Knights and Grail Guardians now deal majority Armour Piercing damage, making them a lot deadlier in combat.

Hippogryph Knights have had a noticeable buff.

Hippogryph Knights now benefit from the Full Grail Package™. This comprises Magical Attacks, Perfect Vigour and The Blessing of the Lady baked into their cost by default.

The unit has also had their collisions optimised a bit and four entities have been added to the unit.

The Grail Relique has been relieved of it’s Leadership buffing role. A bit.

Now that Knights can prop up the leadership of Peasants, it means that the Grail Relique doesn’t have to carry the Peasants as hard as it once did.

To reflect this, the Icon of Devotion ability now buffs melee attack and has had it’s overall leadership buff reduced slightly.

Combining this unit with Knights or a Paladin is now a really good synergy to keep your frontline healthy!

GAMEPLAY
GENERAL UPDATES, RULES & SYSTEMS
We have improved the user experience and performance of the Load Game panel for users who have a large number of save games:

We now only load the first 25 save games, dramatically improving the time it takes to open the Load Game panel.

A new button will load the rest of your save games.

Added a new delete button that allows you to delete currently loaded save games via Campaign (this also works for shift selected campaigns).

AI RULES & LOGIC
We’ve made further improvements to AI artillery units in walled settlement battles to prevent them from wasting ammo on unnecessary gate building targets:

They will now take extra care when assaulting a wall by no longer attempting to make breaches where there’s no need for one, such as when a gate is already being targeted by a friendly unit, or if there is already a nearby available entry point.

They will also no longer target gates when inside of a settlement, nor will they target gates where the angle of fire is too tricky, making them prioritise shots with chances of greater accuracy.

In addition, we’ve made improvements to AI unit groups instructed to guard vulnerable units when attacking settlements:

Units will not remain idle in place while taking fire from fort towers.

Units will opt out of guarding other units when they are idle too long, instead pursuing other tactics, such as assaulting gates.

Made additional improvements to distance checks between breach points in settlement walls to account for any hard collisions between points (this was previously disrupted ongoing gate assaults).
We’ve also rolled back changes made to improve the attacking AI’s ability to acquire capture points in settlement battles, as it was adversely affecting their defensive behaviour. Instead, we’ve implemented a new solution to improve the attacking AI’s ability to focus on unowned capture points where said attacking AI has units nearby.
Furthermore, we’ve fixed an issue where defending AI units in settlement battles would continuously Sally Out to attack targets while units with the Stalk ability were close by. This locked AI units into a cycle of Sallying Out and retreating back to the settlement. Now, once a hidden unit with the Stalk ability is discovered near a target, the AI will refrain from continuing to Sally Out and shall instead engage the target.

TOOLTIP CHANGES & UPDATES
With the introduction of our new, more detailed tooltip system, it has become much easier to spot inconsistencies and oversights regarding skill and effect functions. Let’s take a look at what’s been fixed this time around (thanks to Reddit’s mister-00z for your detailed list!):

Sneaky Stabberz now correctly includes Snotling Pump Wagons units.

All Waaagh! units are now visible in the skill tree (they were previously gaining benefit, but displaying incorrectly).

Silver Torrent skill now correctly includes Lion Chariots of Chrace.

Heart of the Flame now correctly includes Omen of Asuryan (Arcane Phoenix).

Swift Rider now correctly includes Feral Cold Ones.

All Blessed Spawning units are now visible in the skill tree (they were previously gaining benefit, but displaying incorrectly).

Removed the duplicate unit cards of some Lizardmen units from skill trees.

All Legions of Legends units are now visible in skill tree (they were previously gaining benefit, but displaying incorrectly).

Added Carrion units to Elite Cavalrymen skill for Tomb Kings.

Armour of Delirium now correctly displays Chosen of Tzeentch units.

Added Chosen of Tzeentch units to Myriad Servants skill for Tzeentch.

Added Marauder Horsemen of Tzeentch to Horrific Advancements skill for Tzeentch.

Added Marauder Horsemen of Tzeentch to Riders of Change skill for Tzeentch.

Wyrd Spawn (Chaos Spawn) now added to Tzeentch and Daemon Prince skills that affect Chaos Spawn of Tzeentch units.

The Severed Claw (Aspiring Champions) now added to Tzeentch and Daemon Prince skills that affect Chosen of Tzeentch units.

All Ikit’s Workshop units are now visible in skill trees when playing as Clan Skryre (they were previously gaining benefit, but not displayed correctly).

Removed Warp Grinder from the Blastmaster skill as the ranged effects were not relevant for the unit.

Removed Death Runners from the Infiltrator skill as the effects were intended to target the missile infantry.

All Vampire Coast Regiments of Renown units are now visible in the skill tree (they were previously gaining benefit, but displaying incorrectly).

Removed Great Unclean One units from the Mechanical Range skill as the ranged effects were not relevant.

Added Skullcannon to the Riders of Doom skill for Daemon Prince.

Removed Marauders of Khorne from the Unholy Terror Troopers display as that unit is unavailable for the Daemon Prince.

Added all mortal Regiments of Renown to Daemon Prince skills.

The Green Guardian (Terracotta Sentinel) now added to skills that affect Terracotta Sentinel units.

Removed Black Ark Corsairs units from the Sheafmaster skill as the ranged effects were not relevant for the unit.

Chaos Knights of Khorne are now correctly listed in the Bloodsoaked Champions skill.

Removed Chaos Warhound (Poison) from the Unnatural Selection display as that unit is unavailable for Norsca.

Added Marauder Horsemen of Khorne to the Bloodsoaked Champions skill for Khorne.

Added Marauder Horsemen of Khorne to the Overwhelming Stampede skill for Khorne.

THE MASS TOOLTIP

We discovered an issue with the numbers displayed by this tooltip which we have now fixed.
Previously it was adding up the mass of all of the associated entities within a single model and displaying it as one giant number. So, for example, a chariot could add the mass of each horse, each rider, the engine and anything else attached to it. This was incorrect, as the effective mass of a unit is generally governed by a single part. See the notes for Update 3.0 to get a rundown on what the articulated entity actually is.
The general rule of thumb is that if a unit is riding something, it’s usually the mount that will count for the effective mass.

OTHER MASS-RELATED CHANGES
We’ve also taken the liberty to update some older mass values to bring Cavalry units up to scratch. We got some good feedback when we increased the mass of Wild Riders in the last patch, so we’ve made a few more changes to cavalry mass that will hopefully push us nearer to that nice sweet spot where charges feel impactful, but can still be countered in the right circumstances.
Generally we’ve attempted to break cavalry up into certain mass brackets like Light Cavalry, Regular Cavalry, Heavy/Shock Cavalry, Monstrous Cavalry and Character Cavalry, so that the experience and interactions between Cavalry and other units are more readable and consistent across the board.
This is still a work in progress, so if you have any strong opinions on the mass of units in the game, we’d love to hear them.
Other notable changes:

Players must take a Lord-type character as their Lord in a game of Domination or Survival (no more sneaky Skavenslave Lords!)

Characters mounted on chariots can once again fire magic missile spells.

Units should be a bit more reliable when attempting to fire magic missiles from walls.

RACES & BALANCE
GENERAL

All rites, including those for the Tomb Kings, High Elves and Vampire Coast, are once again locked until their requirements are met.

SPELLS & ABILITIES
Army Abilities
INEVITABLE FATE

Recharge Time (Seconds): 120 → 150

INEVITABLE FATE UPGRADE I

Recharge Time (Seconds): 105 → 120

Initial Recharge Time (Seconds): 0 → 30

INEVITABLE FATE UPGRADE II

Recharge Time (Seconds): 90 → 105

Initial Recharge Time (Seconds): 0 → 30

INEVITABLE FATE UPGRADE III

Recharge Time (Seconds): 60 → 90

Initial Recharge Time (Seconds): 0 → 30

Spells

Fixed various instances of Lords getting stuck when using a Magic Missile ability.

BURNING WRATH & BURNING WRATH UPGRADED

Burning Wrath has had its accuracy tightened up to allow it to more reliably hit targets.

FLAMES OF AZGORH & FLAMES OF AZGORH UPGRADED

The penetration value of Flames of Azgorh’s projectiles has been increased so that the spawned projectiles no longer immediately explode and over-damage very large units (I’m looking at you, Durthu – get out of the fire, dude, you’re made of wood!).

Unit Abilities
EVERYONE HAS THEIR PRICE
We assessed this ability and came to the conclusion that its previous implementation wasn’t quite hitting the mark, so we’ve made it a bit easier to use and understand.

Everyone Has Their Price has been reworked into an AoE debuff that targets all unit within its radius.

Active Time (Seconds): 20 → 35

Recharge Time (Seconds): 60 → 90

Effect Range: 0 → 35

LORD OF TORMENT

Intensity conditions have been lowered.

Only 5 routing units are required to be in range in order to achieve 100% intensity.

THE BLESSING OF THE LADY

Physical Resistance Buff: 25% → 0%

Ward Save Buff: 0% → 15%

HEROIC FORTITUDE

Effect Duration: 1s → 2s

Heal Amount %: 0 → 12

PELT OF WULFAG

Pelt of Wulfag has been fixed, so that any fleeing enemy unit within the ability’s 55m radius is now effected by it’s debuff.

Previously the ability was only able to target a single enemy unit. This was a bug.

THE WASTING SICKNESS

Effect Range: 35 → 55

Base Weapon Strength Debuff: -25% → -10%

Armour Piercing Weapon Strength Debuff: -25% → -10%

LANCE

With the Bretonnian cavalry getting a bit of a stat rework, Lance Formation has been nerfed slightly to compensate for these new numbers.

Mass Buff: 50% → 30%

Charge Bonus Buff: 40% → 30%

Acceleration Buff: 40% → 30%

ICON OF DEVOTION

With Peasants receiving a leadership buff from adjacent Knights, the burden of propping up Peasants can now be shouldered more evenly across the roster.

The Grail Relique’s leadership buffing effects have been reduced slightly and a melee attack buff has been added alongside the existing effects to reflect this change.

Melee Attack Buff 0 → 5

Leadership Buff: 12 → 8

Item Abilities
THE VENOM STAFF

Wind Up Time: 5 → 1

Fixed a Bug where Khalida couldn’t cast this ability whilst mounted on a Chariot

BRAID OF BORDELEAUX

Bonus vs Large: 8 → 12

HELM OF YVRESSE

Fixed an issue where the item ability was granting two different types of the ‘Unbreakable’ status.

THE VIAL OF HASHUT

We reduced the weakness to fire effect of this ability, as it stacked a bit too effectively with all other sources of weakness to Fire on the Chaos Dwarf Roster.

Bringing this value down means that now Chaos Dwarfs can get a maximum debuff effect of -100% Weakness to Fire if they combine all 5 sources.

Weakness to Fire caps out at -100%, so this is now more game appropriate.

Active Time (Seconds): 55 → 60

Weakness to Fire: 60% → 20%

Armour Debuff: -40 → -60

CHALICE OF BLOOD & DARKNESS

The Chalice of Blood and Darkness now activates based on map-wide enemy spell activations for half of the previous heal amount. This makes it easier to use, although it is still limited by a 90 second cooldown between each activation.

Heal Amount %: 1.6 → 0.8

STONE MANTLE

Now activates when the unit has 75% or less HP remaining

Now scales the effect across 4000 hit points of damage rather than 3000, meaning that overall the ability is a bit slower to scale up.

Speed Debuff: -10% → -20%

DEV NOTE:
There are just some cursory mass changes for the Beastmen here. ~~Pork Scratchings~~ Razorgors are now heavier for better line-smashing capabilities, along with the Feral Manticore also receiving a mass buff.

UNITS
MOUNT: RAZORGOR CHARIOT)

Entity Mass: 1,400 → 2,000

FERAL MANTICORE

Entity Mass: 1,600 → 2,000

RAZORGOR HERD

Entity Mass: 1,100 → 1,500

Technology

Removed Centigors units from the Roiling Death Beastmen technology.

DEV NOTE:
Chaos Dwarfs have also received a lot of attention this patch. Astragoth was a bit too over-tuned at launch and has been adjusted along with Bull Centaur Renders and the Naptha Bomb-wielding Infernal Ironsworn units, as they were both very cost effective. K’daai have received a nice buff to make them a bit less fragile, but perhaps the biggest change is that the Iron Daemon is now able to move and shoot properly – this should hopefully eliminate some of the frustrations that players were encountering. The Skullcracker is also now a bit of a beast in melee, with better combat stats and an improved ability to knockback enemies at lower speeds. Artillery have also been given a pass; with the Magma Cannon receiving a bit of a range nerf, the Deathshrieker getting a higher degree of accuracy and the Dreadquake getting a bit more range.

SKILLS

Daemonsmith Sorcerer (Metal) skill Careful Casting now correctly reduces Wind of Magic cost by 10% instead of 10.

SPELLS

Burning Wrath no longer has an instantaneous cast when Drazoath, the Sorcerer Prophets, and a Daemonsmith are mounted.

TRAITS

The Monster Commander trait for convoys now correctly grants its bonuses to the Lammasu and Taurus units.

TECHNOLOGY

Powers of the Conclave now correctly increases the number of uses for Blood & Fireborn and Dreadquake Battery army abilities.

DEV NOTE:
We didn’t quite get the Dark Elf mount costs right last time around, so we’ve taken another look and rebalanced them. As a result, Rakarth and Lokir are now a little bit cheaper. Other than that, Dark Steed Mounts are heavier along with Cold Ones and Manticores, while Dark Steed Cavalry have received an acceleration boost.

THE DARK ELF SLAVE UPDATE
Gameplay

Dark Elves now have the ability to consume their Slaves in order to Rush Construction.

High control now reduces the slave consumption within a province. This recreates the Chaos Dwarf Labour relationship where if you maintain control you lose significantly less Labour per turn, but while maintaining Slaves as a global resource for Dark Elves.

Post-battle Slave rewards have been rebalanced to offer significantly more base rewards but slightly less from the post-battle options. Overall, this should be a small net increase, but more importantly give the player more freedom to not always select the Slave option to stay in the green.

Slave rewards from Raiding have been improved. We have also fixed a few pooled resource related bugs when raiding (such as being able to spam raid a single region without lowering the overall amount).

Removed the constructions speed buffs from maintaining large amounts of Slaves. This is now covered by the addition of Rush Construction. Maintaining a low amount of stockpiled slaves now increases control, while maintaining a large amount of stockpiled slaves reduces control.

Edicts

Adjusted the Slave Quotas Edict to reduce the cost of Rush Construction, slightly reducing the Growth amount.

Buildings

Slaves are now consumed and the bonus effects are now applied on a per building basis if they can be afforded rather than all buildings simultaneously turning on/off if the player has over 100 Slaves.

All buildings which have bonus Slave effects now also consume Slaves

Slave consumption per building has been lowered

All slave consumption buildings now provide lower base benefits but greater bonus effects if Slave requirements are met (this was the opposite before)

Ports no longer consume Slaves for bonus income, they now generated Slaves per turn.

This has been done to help counter stacking slave costs per turn into the end game, and also provide rewarding targets for hunting down and capturing ports with your black arks.

We have adjusted/moved the effects on a few infrastructure buildings:

Slave income moved to Roads Building

Removed the Growth from the Roads Building

Reduced Diktats cost moved to Slave Pens building;

Slave Pens now reduces the Slave Consumption from buildings

Slight replenishment buff for the Growth building

Karond Kar Landmark now provides a small global reduction in Slave consumption
Diktats

Reduced costs to 200/300/400 (and adjusted the effects to match the new costs).

Reduced the cooldown of the treasury Diktat to 1 turn.

Skills

Slightly buffed assassin Slave generation to 5/10/15 from 3/6/10

Text/Tooltips/Help Pages

Multiple text updates to match the new changes.

GENERAL UPDATES

Fixed an issue with the Death Night button, where the button would be clickable even if player didn’t have enough slaves to use it.

CAMPAIGN

Fixed an issue where Rakarth was releasing his Slaves when sacking certain cultures rather than enslaving them. He should correctly generate Slaves when sacking against all enemies now.

The Gate to the Underworld Sea Landmark building has been restored to its rightful place in Hag Graef.

The Vandalised Court of the Everqueen landmark building now spreads Slaanesh corruption when playing as Morathi.

Reduced the cooldown and maximum turns before a mission is guaranteed for the Whispers of T’zarhan mechanic. This should improve the frequency of these missions.

The loyalty of confederated or requested armies is no longer 0.

As well as benefitting from a load of mass changes to Griffons, Lions and Horses, all High Elf Cavalry (excluding Ellyrian Reavers) now run at 84 speed (faster than Empire Cavalry) which should hopefully help their matchups. Their horses are some of the best in the world, of course.

CAMPAIGN

For the Lizardmen, Tehenhaiun and his Red Crested brethren have gained a new trait – Immunity to Contact Effects.

The biggest notable Norscan change is that the Axe man on the back of the Ice Wolf Chariots now has some melee attack animations, so the performance of the unit in melee should be a bit better!

LOOKING FORWARD
There you have it. We hope you’re happy with the changes we’ve made as we continue to absorb all your feedback and aim for the best balance possible.
Now we’re done, why not jump straight into game and check out the Bretonnia update, dish out the smackdown as a new Legendary Hero, or fight against the Will of Hashut to prevent the unending growth of the Chaos Dwarf’s empire? Or, heck, you could always enact Hashut’s will yourself, if you fancy? We won’t tell.
Barring any hotfixes, the next update after this will be Update 4.0 in (checks the Roadmap) ‘the summer’. So, judging by how warm it was last night (we had to kick the covers off), that’s not far off!
See you on the battlefield!

The legendary Hero is apparently

Harald Hammerstorm (AKA Harry the Hammer)

Imagine Totalwar Warhammer games with Rome total war or Medieval Total War 2 building and economy systems instead of streamlined shit and arbitrary building limits. A man can dream.
