The Hung – Lords of the Steppes

From the chill, windswept steppes beyond the Bastion, the hordes of the Hung gather beneath bloodstained horsehair banners…

Disclaimer: The Hung are a difficult campaign, with a combination of micro-intensive units and a weak early game roster. Expect a difficult start which gradually snowballs as you build your hordes and recruit your higher-tier units.

Disclaimer, the second: While inspired by real-world cultures, the Hung (and their faction names) are from Games Workshop's Warhammer IP. I do not claim that these are the Mongols, Huns, Turks, etc., nor do I want to represent a real-world culture or faith. The Hung are firmly the Chaos-worshipping steppe nomads of Warhammer Fantasy.



The Hung – Lords of the Steppes brings a new playable race galloping into Total War: WARHAMMER III — complete with a bespoke roster, original characters, and unique mechanic representing the infamous nomadic Hung tribes of the Eastern Steppes.

• The Chi-An
  
• The Aghol
  
• The Dreaded Wo
  
• The Wei-Tu

Campaigns Supported:

New Race

• "The Hung" - Playable in both the Realms of Chaos and Immortal Empires campaigns, this mod introduces a fully fleshed-out race similar to the Warriors of Chaos, Beastmen, and other factions.

Full Custom Roster

• A cavalry-heavy roster supplemented by powerful archers and fearsome monsters, the Hung army is a fast and deadly threat which can roll over the unprepared.

New Playable Horde Factions

• Led by Ur-Khan, a former slave of the Druchii, the Mung follow a path of vengeance as they burn their way across Naggaroth, expanding the Endless Steppes in honor of the gods.
  
• In the east, the avaricious Zao Korr leads the Man-Chu in a war against Grand Cathay, seeking to crack through its Bastion and conquer the fertile lands beyond.

Five Minor Factions

• With plans to expand each, in time, into a playable major faction.

Custom Mechanics

• Deceive enemies and manipulate situations to your advantage with the Hung's Treachery  options.
  
• Recruit powerful units using pilfered knowledge and captured monsters by razing regions across the world in the Adaptive Warlords feature.
  
• Choose where to place Tribal Gatherings , tent cities which can generate great wealth and allow recruitment of powerful units, based on seasonal Fertility  in local provinces. Strike a balance between exploiting the landscape and becoming more firmly entrenched in it.

Known Issues

• Since 5.0, campaign effects will show units your faction does not have access to (if another Hung faction does, such as the Host of Shaarnor's access to certain Slaaneshi units)
  
• Tribal Gathering building costs will display in red even when you have sufficient treasury to purchase the building. This is related to Omens of Destructions Ogre Camp update.
  
• Very little attention to audio and voicelines. You can expect a lot of Wulfrik the Wanderer and various Chaos marauders until I can eventually implement some custom audio in tandem with the Audio Mixer team.
  
• Zao Korr currently causes a Crash-to-Desktop if he takes missile fire while mounted on Tsusan. We are working on it for the next hotfix.
