STABILITY & PERFORMANCE
- Fixed an issue that caused modded/custom characters to crash the game when opening the Recruit Lord/Hero UI.
- Fixed a soft lock when trying to declare war on a player faction with which you have a pending diplomatic negotiation.
- FPS drops when the Province tab is open should no longer happen.
- A potential crash when going into battle due to the clean-up of military forces when leaving the campaign has been fixed.
- Fixed an end-of-turn crash when Gotrek was killed at an inopportune time, causing a memory access issue.
- A crash that could occur when siege towers dock on adjacent wall pieces perpendicular to each other has been fixed.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when the game held data for province governorship for factions that did not own the province capital.
GAMEPLAY
- You can now preview the landmark buildings you’ll get access to in a settlement by hovering over them.
- The developers introduced a new pack file limit that increases the number of mods that can be hypothetically run simultaneously (barring any cross-mod issues).
- We’ve added a new panel that allows you to search for certain items on the campaign map. There are two categories of search options available – physical items (settlements, provinces, factions, and characters) and landmarks/resources. Clicking any search result item will move the camera to show it.
- Multiple buildings that were incorrectly marked as destructible have been updated game-wide, including those found within maps for the Vampire Counts, Dwarfs, Dark Elves, and more.
- Updated the campaign map battle selection for both the Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires campaign maps to ensure that the correct battle tiles are displayed.
- Increased the effect of the ‘A Stranger Comes’ event for all order factions.
- New regions and provinces have made their way into the Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires campaign maps of WARHAMMER III.
- Alongside the additions and relocations, several regions have border adjustments.
NEW ENDLESS SURVIVAL BATTLES
- These battles can be played solo or co-op with up to 4 players.
- Enemies will periodically spawn and attack you, featuring every unit from the chosen enemy race.
- Each map has three capture points, with one starting within the player’s deployment.
- Each capture point gives you supplies that can be used on reinforcements, upgrades, and replenishments.
- The difficulty is scaled based on both the player count and the time survived.
- These battles cannot be won.
GENERAL UPDATES
- Fixed cases where Beastmen unit capacity would be increased twice from the same effect (e.g., +4 Harpies would give +8).
- Fixed the Beastmen follower ‘Mannish Thrall’ not being equipped by the Wargor Hero.
- Fixed an issue where the capital border image was missing on Beastmen settlements in the settlement panel.
- Fixed Taurox and Oxyotl’s quest battles ‘The Heart of the Dark’ not playing the intro cutscene correctly.
CAMPAIGN
- Fixed an issue where the Beastmen Herdstone upgrades were not applying.
- Fixed the Ruinous Seances Herdstone building, not providing additional Dread from fighting battles.
- Fixed Malagor’s Nightmarish Cabal skill, not reducing Bray Shaman Hero action costs.
- Clarified the effect given by the unique Herdstone building available at Altdorf.
- Fixed the Bray Shaman unit card on the campaign map.
SKILLS
- Fixed Morghur’s Herald of Corruption skill by not applying corruption to adjacent provinces.
- Fixed an issue where Malagor’s Crowfather skill would apply twice.
- Fixed Malagor’s Something Wicked This Way Comes skill, reducing enemy leadership as the skill level increases.
- Updated Beastmen skills and challenges to include buffs for Feral Manticores.
