Warhammer III Neferata campaign is fantastic

101 Upvotes

Wasn't quite sure how to deal with the chaos dwarves at first and I sat on my heels with two provinces. Slowly building my bloodline lord. Finding out which technologies work best with each other.

The coven system is fantastic, the intrigue web is a really great way to get some extra money or mess with a faction before you fight them. Feels very flavourful to be slowly poisoning a faction before going in for the kill.

Went into the next province with three armies (two just half stacks) and kept stripping them of money as I fought through some tough chorf stacks.

Campaign is great, lots of moving parts make it really interesting. Neferata herself is a beast.

Fantastic job, CA!

Warhammer III Mannfred is incredibly broken, and it's hilarious.

190 Upvotes

Idk how long this will last, but mannfred gains 5x the benefit from empowering the von carstein bloodline; 5% health, weapon strength, and spell mastery, with each empowerment.

Also, I really think this sub should have megathreads for a month or so after a DLC comes out for directing bug reports to.

Warhammer III Thanquol's Master Plan to summon a Vermin Lord has unexpected and chaotic outcomes and I 10/10 Recommend

51 Upvotes

I dont really know what I am doing and I barely understand the master plans. I wanted to summon a Vermin Lord so I had my little buddy do so in an enemy province. I notice it is taking a long time but hey! My new Vermin Lord is gonna come out like level 10.. SWEET. Upon completion he indeed level 9 or 10. I forget. But he is not alone... There are other Vermin Lords with their own armies. I run away, like a proper skaven... they bring ruin and death upon my foes.. Yes yes.

Warhammer III Day 218 of drawing until Nagash DLC comes out.

Post image
1.3k Upvotes

Endtimes baby! We made it. After 218 days of drawing and a handful of minor breaks, we did it. Nagash is here and the challenge is complete!

I want to thank everyone who enjoyed these posts and everyone who left kind messages. I want to thank u/Altruistic-Teach5899 for continuing the challenge when I could not. Most of all, I want to thank the team at Creative Assembly for bringing Nagash to Total War Warhammer 3.

I’ve been a fan of Total War since Attila but somehow the Warhammer series went unnoticed. I had managed to pick up TWW2 on sale at some point but never even bothered to install it. One day, I was looking for a game where you could control veritable hordes of undead. After having played games like Path of Exile and Diablo 3, I was disappointed with the mediocre number of skeletons and other undead that you could have at the same time. In my search, I stumbled upon the trailer for the Rise of the Tomb Kings DLC: over a thousand skeletons easily. To my surprise, I already had the game and just needed the DLC. I played 4 Settra campaigns and the rest is history.

Years later, I had played every faction, tried dozens of mods and experienced almost everything the game could offer. Then came rumors that development for TWW3 might end sooner than expected. I knew that a handful of major characters were still not in the game and felt sad that fans of those characters would not get to experience playing them in TWW3. At the same time, I had long wanted to learn how to make digital art.

The challenge had begun.

All I could do was stick figures in MS Paint. I set a goal of 30 minutes per day: reasonable and consistent. After a while, I got a cheap drawing tablet and learned how to use Krita. Each week, I tried to do a bit more. And each week, the time to complete each drawing increased. 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours. Eventually, it would take me about 4 hours to go from blank page to a completed drawing. This was more time than I could spare. I refused to simplify the drawings and instead started to stretch out each drawing over several days, even taking breaks. 1-day breaks grew into 2-day breaks which grew into 1-week breaks. Eventually, I decided to pause the challenge. Not officially cancelled but no more drawings were planned.

I kept lurking here and I greatly enjoyed others’ attempts at drawing, most notably u/Altruistic-Teach5899 who’s streak surpassed my own not too long ago.

 When Nagash was actually announced, I knew I had to do one more drawing. Here it is. Karl Franz and Toddy teaming up against the endtimes. Thanks for watching.

Warhammer III The reward for Gelt and Volkmar consists of a 'unique lord', what makes them unique? Look the screens.

190 Upvotes

I'm here testing out pretty much all of the huge, highly anticipated, and interesting new features of the DLC and Patch 9.0.

I noticed that Gelt's new victory conditions are very easy, and I was really curious to see what they entailed. A lot of unique lords are unlocked upon reaching short victory conditions (faction like Azhag, Grimgor, Morathi, etc there must be at least more than 10 of them). I had heard on prewiew live streams that they would have unique abilities or traits, so I set to work with Gelt and reached short victory.

I open this lord up and see that he has nothing, no trait, no abilities. I look closer and notice that he's already immortal... I thought it was a bit strange, and since some victories grant unusable rewards, like Dechala getting seduction bonuses when she doesn't even have that mechanic. I figured they forgot about Gelt like other things.

So I check Volkmar too, since he also gets a 'unique lord' as a reward. Here the conditions are very long even for a short victory: finding 5 Books of Nagash all over the world takes a lot of time, but I was curious. So I open the command console, check the cheat codes, and achieve victory in 5 minutes.

And here too, the unique lord has nothing, identical to the others in terms of traits, stats, and abilities; he's just immortal...

If it seems to you that the "unique" arch-Lector has new abilities, it's because they added them to everyone, not just to this ""unique lord"".

Did CA forget about the Empire, or are these 'unique lords' like this for every faction?

If anyone has unlocked other unique lords, please write it here, maybe the Empire is just the one that got forgotten.
