Hotfix 5.1.3

2:59am

Greetings folks,

We've just rolled out Hotfix 5.1.3, bringing with it a pretty hefty range of bug fixes and tweaks.

Read on for the full rundown of what's included:

Gameplay:

Fixed an issue in some Dwarf siege maps (Custom Battle and Campaign) where attacking units would end up floating in the air in their deployment zone
Warlock Engineers now have the passive ability "Musk of Fear" in their skill tree
The "Draftmaster" skill used by Nakai's secondary Lords now increases the global recruitment capacity
Fixed some inconsistencies with Khorne unit recruitment costs
Fixed the Exalted Keeper of Secrets gaining the passive ability "Feasting on Fear" twice from their skill tree

The Axe of Khorne and Armour of Khorne magic items can now be equipped by Warriors of Chaos, Daemons of Chaos and Khorne factions
Fixed an issue where some Legendary Heroes had upkeep costs
Playing as Warriors of Chaos, upgrading a Chaos Trolls unit to Bile Trolls now requires the Rusted Branding Iron technology
Fixed the major Nurgle settlement level 3 building costing 3 population surplus rather than 2
Aligned the global recruitment durations for secondary Lords under Nakai (when their buildings are maxed out) with the local recruitment durations for Nakai himself
Yuan Bo now starts the campaign with the technology "Seasoned Trackers" unlocked, as with other Cathayan factions
Fixed an issue where some Regiment of Renown units could gain experience during battles and rank up

Additional adjustments to how attrition is calculated at end of turn
Fixed issue where bankruptcy prediction for attrition was not considering raid income

Fixed issue when playing as Empire, Kislev city walls were not displaying wall improvement effects
Fixed Autoresolver inaccuracies with how single entities units (Land Ship, Steam Tanks etc.) behave when damaged in the context of the Autoresolver
Fixed the Empire Captain skill 'Admired Infantryman' applying to Free Company Militia units

Fixed an issue where Wood Elf skills intended to give bonuses to Spellsingers mounted on eagles were applying to Spellsingers mounted on unicorns
The Electoral Machination "Requisition" now fully replenishes the state troop units rather than adding 1 unit, as the pool size can be increased by Karl Franz's unique skill
Fixed an issue in Chokepoint Battle - High Peak Pass - Bretonnian Hills where defending players could deploy vanguard units in the attacker's deployment zone but could not place the same unit in their own
To solve this issue the position of the attacker's guerilla deployment exclusion zone had to be inverted. Now both sides can correctly deploy their vanguard units within their respective deployment zones.

Resolved rendering issues with Sons of Ghorros (Centigor - Great Weapons) unit which would result in different model parts not being visible

LOD means "level of detail", and refers to the models and textures used for units depending on their distance from the camera. For example, units in the far distance will use less-defined models than units that are closer to the camera.

Hotfix 5.1.2

23 Jul

Greetings all!

We've just rolled out Hotfix 5.1.2, addressing a number of issues identified in the wake of Patch 5.1.0 and Hotfix 5.1.1.

Here's what we've got today:

Fixed an issue where vassal income would significantly reduce after loading a save following the removal of a vassal due to endgame objectives. This was caused by the game subtracting the previous tribute from the income without resetting the tribute value, leading to repeated incorrect deductions. We missed this specific issue initially, but we believe this updated solution resolves all related problems.
Fixed an issue with the 'Continue Campaign' button in Launcher not continuing the campaign, and instead redirecting to the main game screen.
Fixed a crash that occurred when players overcast a spell while commanding a unit with multiple shot types in battle. This issue was identified and resolved thanks to detailed reports from our community forums!
Fixed the following abilities not affecting units that were not nearby when the battle began:
- Rune of Stoicism
- Ancestor Rune
- Rune of Courage
- Spirit Conduit (Hierotitan)
Fixed an issue when the general was removed from the military force, the unit would become a colonel and be treated by the UI like a hero rather than a normal unit.
Fixed an issue where river crossing battle maps would not trigger when fighting on river crossings or alongside rivers on the Immortal Empires campaign map.
Fixed rendering issues with Pistoliers unit which would result the rider model not being visible.
Fixed an issue where playing custom battles as Daemons of Chaos, using the Shadow Legion colour scheme, the army abilities would be missing.
Fixed plate armor opacity issues with several Empire units.
Fixed a bug when moving Thorek on Anvil mount in campaign, which would lead to his model tilting backwards during the move animation.
Explosive ammunition for Hochland Long Rifles no longer reduces penetration value from 1 to 0.
Tempest from the Lore of High Magic now matches its visual duration at 17 seconds for both regular and overcast.
Fixed an issue where Dark Elf buildings that reduce slave count only functioned correctly when constructed by the player. Captured settlements with pre-existing economic buildings did not reduce slave count until these buildings were upgraded or replaced. This fix ensures that the slave count reduction feature works as intended immediately upon acquiring such buildings.
Fixed a crash in multiplayer campaign games where completing the Changeling Cult building "Ravaging Host" in another player's settlement would cause the game to crash. This was due to a Lua error in the script that was meant to trigger a dilemma for the player upon discovering the cult.
Fixed some instances of skills that penalise enemy hero success chance instead being granted to the enemy, making them penalise your success chance.
Fixed issue where a placeholder icon would show on some Shadowy Dealing actions.
Fixed a bug where a military force with plague was able to get infected and lost its ability to use the switching plagues mechanic.
Fixing an audio issue with the Mechanical Steed mount which was not triggering surface appropriate footsteps.
After a long tug-of-war with his rot beast, Kayzk has finally recovered his blade, which he now wields in all its disgusting glory.
One player watching the Immortal Empires flyby will no longer block the other players' actions, sometimes causing desync.
Fixed an issue where the chance of a magic item dropping or being stolen was not being correctly modified by effects on Heroes embedded in the army.
The Black Staff item's bound power of darkness now matches regular power of darkness.
- +0.3 winds per second.
- +does equivalent self damage.
Added missing page-turning sound effects for Blue Scribes.
Fixed a bug where armies would get replenished to 100% after being defeated and sacked. Now they will be replenished only by the desired amount of 25%.
Added missing lava and portal sound effects to Bleeding Spire map.

Thanks for all of your bug reports and feedback, all of which have been extremely valuable in helping our teams investigate and resolve issues as quickly as possible! If you run into any issues after updating to 5.1.2, please be sure to report them in our dedicated bug reporting sub-forum.

See you on the battlefield!

Hotfix 5.1.1

9 Jul

Greeting folks,

Today we're rolling out Hotfix 5.1.1, addressing a number of issues that have come to light since the launch of Patch 5.1, as well as some additional balancing.

Here's what we've got for you today:

General:

Fixed an issue where vassals did not provide income after reloading a save. Vassals will now correctly provide income as intended.
Fixed an issue where some unit faction colours were too dark, resulting in their base materials not rendering correctly. Notably affecting empire units.
Fixed rendering issues with Empire Outriders' guns which would result in either not rendering the gun or textures appearing weirdly.
Fixed an issue where Eldred's Guard weren't using the correct colours.
Fixed UI issue where Tower of Zharr district completions effects were missing.
Fixed lag in matchmade lobbies, and inability to change spell lores after locking in factions.
Increased the Stegadon armour piercing missile damage from 150 to 350, as originally intended.
Fixed Legendary Heroes not spawning if your faction capital is besieged, causing you to lose them in a given campaign.
Fixed required resource bar in Chaos Gifts panel showing incorrect state.
Fixed various character skills that were hidden from certain characters due to being overlapped by other skills.
Updated Arkhan the Black's lord select movie to include eye VFX.
Fixed an issue where Boris Todbringer was missing some skills in his skill tree.
Fixed a number of effects meant to apply to all Nurgle marked units not applying to Bile Trolls units.
Fixed an issue with the unique Dwarf Lord Mikael Leadstrong where his unit card would not display correctly.
Fixed Cursed Yhetee Jawbone item not modifying armour piercing missile damage.
Fixed the timer tooltip in Conquest battle mode showing the wrong winner/loser when the timer runs out.
In Realm of Chaos campaign, fixed an issue where armies would teleport if they marched over a Teleport Locus while retreating from a battle in the Tzeentch realm.
Removed the Mentor skill from the Legendary Heroes that had it. This was misleading in most cases where other Heroes gained experienced (e.g. Saytang the Watcher would give experience to Gate Master Heroes) and in some cases, there would be no characters to give experience to. This now makes it consistent across all Legendary Heroes, as some did not have this skill.
Fixed the counter on Book of Nagash showing the wrong values in multiplayer.
Fixed slight hang when opening multiplayer campaigns or battles if the player had a lot of multiplayer saves.
Fixed settlement label showing temporarily in between pre- and post-battle when autoresolving.
Moved the button to swap between lores to the left hand side of the spell UI to give more space to the overcast toggle button.
The Empire technology "Protection of the Patriarch" now also applies the ward save bonus to Battle Wizards that are part of garrisons.
The Wood Elf technology "Hukon, the Sunderer" now also affects the Enigmas of Ghyran (Zoats) Regiment of Renown unit.
The Altdorf College of Forbidden Magic and Altdorf Conclave of Forbidden Magic buildings for Vampire Counts now provide recruitment of the Mortis Engine and Terrorgheist units.
Fixed the growth element on horde armies disappearing when selecting a hero inside that army.
Improved the visuals of the Chaos Warhounds 2D porthole image.
Fixed path of glory contact effects showing placeholder text instead of the correct contact tooltip.
Fixed plague immunity icon on settlements not updating its tooltip on turn start.
Fixed issue where selecting Gotrek after Felix would make the empty rune slots disappear on Gotrek.
Fixed events showing in Mortuary Cult and Forge panels after crafting an item, causing the panel to disappear until the event was dismissed. Events will now only pop after the panel is closed by the player.
Fixed an issue in multiplayer campaigns where upon completing the mission to gain Karanak, the dilemma would appear for players rather than just the player completing the mission.
Character type restrictions on ancillaries and magic items tooltip now always show, instead of only showing when trying to equip on an invalid type. (When valid, the text will show yellow instead of red.)
Unit upgrades, such as the Wood Elf Aspect Upgrades, are now displayed in a consistent order.
The enemy Skaven undercities UI panel no longer goes offscreen when there are multiple entries.
Shadowy Dealings will now no longer discover your own Skaven undercities.
Cost requirements will now no longer show on horde buildings you have already constructed.
The "Warpstone Detonation" ability for Doom Flayer characters in Ikits Workshop no longer erroneously blasts targets with the "kill_self" phase from the Warpstone Detonation army ability, causing the user to instantly die.
Fixed a material error for Malekith on Seraphon that caused invisible wings.
Fixed a material error on the Knights of the Blazing Sun's shields.

Additional balancing:

Karanak:
- Prey Of The Blood God
  - Damage per tick: 67 -> 33
  - Max number of uses: infinite -> 3
  - Karanak was intended to get roughly the effect of a spirit leech alongside his net. Currently his damage per tick is identical spirit leech but it lasts twice as long, we've normalized this.
Deepwood Scouts (Swiftshiver Shards):
- Range 180 -> 155
- Calibration distance 120 -> 100
- At identical range to the regular deepwood scout arrows, swiftshiver shards outcompeted the regular arrows in every way, we're pushing this back a little to the midway point between the old and new value.
Warshrine of Tzeentch:
- Giver of Arcane Glory:
  - Reserve winds generated per second at maximum intensity: 0.2 -> 0.15
  - Winds regeneration and reserve bonus only applies to the shrine itself. (No longer multiplies the bonuses to winds based on the number of nearby units.)
  - Mastery bonus still applies to all nearby allies.
  - While the dark gods are fickle, the gameplan we saw of players obliterating their own units with vortexes to kickstart an ultra rapid infinite mana engine wasn't quite intended. The intention is that your shrine itself is a generator that gets powered up by nearby deaths, not that nearby units become generators themselves, multiplying the payoff many times over. Keep your wizards close, and your forces close but not that close.

Modding:

Generated new up to date scripting documentation for modders including model hierarchy documentation. This can be found by heading to the Steam folder on your PC and navigating to 'steamapps\common\Total War WARHAMMER III\assembly_kit\documentation\script\script'.

Alongside the above points, we are temporarily removing the ‘Bordeleaux Landing’ map in order to make some improvements. In Patch 5.1.0 we added a number of new maps originating from some of those made by our top community map creators, and after discussion with the original creator of this map, we agreed that it was badly implemented on our part. Our aim is to bring Bordeleaux Landing back in line with the creator’s original vision, and look forward to re-introducing it in a future update. If you’d like to check out the original, you can do so here.

As always, thanks for your feedback and bug reports. Should you experience any issues after updating to 5.1.1 please remember to let us know over in our dedicated bug reporting sub-forum[community.totalwar.com] so we can get them logged and investigated.

See you on the battlefield!

Total War: WARHAMMER III - What's Next?

26 Jun

Hey Folks,

As revealed only a few short weeks ago, our next DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER III brings Khorne, Ogre Kingdoms, and Orcs & Goblins to the centre stage.

Today we’re thrilled to be sharing more insight into what you can expect when this content releases at the end of 2024, the Legendary Lords that are set to lead each faction (alongside some sneak peeks at a couple of key units), and how we’re using this time between now and the launch of this DLC to cast our eyes back onto the core game experience and to ask ourselves, and you, what changes and experiences we can bring to that.

Watch the full conversation with Senior Community Manager Steve Coleman, Senior Game Director Rich Aldridge, alongside DLC Lead designer Sean Macdonald, and Associate Game Director Victor Dosev right here 👇 👀

As talked about by Rich in this Development Update, our next DLC takes place entirely within Immortal Empires, and won’t feature a new campaign for The Realm of Chaos. We’ll continue to support campaigns in The Realm of Chaos regardless in our updates and hotfixes, ensuring that the experience is always fun, balanced, and available to old and new players alike, but we wanted to make sure everyone understood our direction for the game moving forward.

It’s also been a while since we talked to you so directly in this style of content, so please do share your thoughts and feedback on the format of videos like this too as we’d love to hear from you, and love to keep showing up on your screens just like this in the future.

We’ll return in the late summer with another development update from the teams, letting you know how we’re getting on with our work and to lift the curtain some more on the work we have in progress.

Meanwhile, we’ve just launched Update 5.1 for all players, bringing best boi Karanak to the roster alongside a tonne of fixes, balance passes, and improvements to the game. In the coming weeks, we’re looking to release a Hotfix to help tidy up a few latent issues we’ve spotted since the Update went live, and we’ll keep you updated on future our releases as we roll out each one.

We’re otherwise especially keen to hear how you’re feeling about today’s news, so please do join us over on the Official Total War Discord[discord.gg], and the Total War Forums[community.creative-assembly.com] to share your feedback, and pose all-new questions for us to look at answering in the future.

See you on the battlefields,
Freeman // Head of Community

Hotfix 5.0.5

13 Jun

Hey everyone,

We've got a couple of quick fixes for you today in Hotfix 5.0.5, focused on Black Arks.

Fixed an issue where executing the Sacrifice to Mathlann would unintentionally spawn multiple Black Arks, leading to spam. The fix ensures that characters are only added to the recruitment pool without spawning, preventing the spam.
Minor adjustments to AI-controlled Black Ark behaviour, improving end-turn performance.

We'll also be looking at adding further improvements to Black Arks in future updates to help them move more meaningfully within the AI framework.

Thanks for your ongoing feedback and bug reports. If you experience a bug or issue while playing, remember to report it over in our dedicated bug reporting sub-forum[community.totalwar.com].

See you on the battlefield!

UPDATE 04/06/24 @ 14:35 BST:
We're aware that the fix to Anvil of Doom melee attacks seems to have slipped through during the hotfix deployment, and are investigating. Thanks for your reports and patience while we look into it, and sorry for any confusion caused!

Greetings!

We've just rolled out Hotfix 5.0.4.

Here's what we've got today:

Confederating minor factions will no longer increase the cost of confederating Legendary Lords in the Great Book of Grudges
Fixed an issue where the Nurgle Plagues button could sometimes become permanently disabled in multiplayer campaigns
Fixed an issue preventing Anvil of Doom characters from performing melee attacks under certain circumstances
Added some missing VFX and audio to Thorek's Anvil of Doom melee attacks, including a fresh new effect where his anvil runes glow brighter when making a strike!
Made Malakai's gun a tiny bit less eager - it now fires its bullets in sequence instead of firing every bullet immediately on the first shot
Added audio to Malakai's third shot in his firing sequence
Fixed an issue where several different Legendary Heroes (I've got my eye on you, Ghoritch!) could spawn at a random character that did not belong to the player
Fixed health bar not filling correctly on unit information panel in campaign
Fixed an issue where Hero character names and icon outline did not match the player's colour
Fixed an issue in multiplayer campaigns where the Tomb Kings Mortuary Cult HUD button was locked if another player was Dwarfs
Fixed an issue where Chaos Lords of Nurgle and Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle variants were missing their Nurgle Authority skills
Fixed the bandits caravan event not triggering
Fixed an issue where some generic combat skills in the Daemon Slayer's skill tree used the hero variants (three levels instead of two that lords usually require)
Fixed crash when loading a saved character in the army setup
Fixed an issue where horde factions could infinitely recruit capped units by creating and loading a save immediately after recruiting them

As always, thanks for your ongoing feedback and bug reports. We'll be back in the coming weeks with Patch 5.1. Until then, we'll see you on the battlefield!
