Warhammer 2.2 Patch Notes

RELEASE SPOTLIGHT

REGIMENTS OF RENOWN III

In Update 2.2, we’re introducing our third Regiments of Renown unit pack, free for all players of WARHAMMER III. Monsters rise up this month as we focus on some of our factions’ most vicious units, blessed with a few extra nasty tricks that make them more powerful than ever!

Regiments of Renown III unleashes the following units:

THE GREEN GUARDIAN – Terracotta Sentinel
GRAND CATHAY

Centuries of silent sentry duty at the edge of the Warpstone Desert has been broken by a stunning display of choreographed violence. Foes stand little chance against the enchanted behemoth towering above them.

ABILITY: Redirecting Aura – Enemy units within range of the aura will have their projectiles redirected back at themselves.
STAT ADJUSTMENT: Increased Missile Resistance

KHORNE’S BLOODY FIST- Bloodthirster
KHORNE

Even by Bloodthirster standards, the Bloody Fist stands apart. With every savage-yet-precise blow, it grows stronger, while its enemies are pounded to a gory blot on the landscape.

THE FROZEN HEART OF WINTER – Elemental Bear
KISLEV

More than a mere bear, this elemental creature has all the pride and rage of its beleaguered Motherland distilled into its colossal, icy form.

UNCLE FURUNCLE – Great Unclean One
NURGLE

Those who’ve heard of Uncle Furuncle know to steer well clear of his gaseous girth, lest a torrent of putrid filth descend upon them from gods know where.

ABILITY: Defiling Deluge (Active) – Uncle Furuncle heals himself while damaging enemies around him.
SPELL UPDATE: Miasma of Pestilence → Spirit Leech

THE SNOWHORN OF MOURN – Stonehorn
OGRE KINGDOMS

Used to living in the sub-polar temperatures of the Granitetooth Graveyard, this characteristically vicious Stonehorn knows how to use the icy cold to its best advantage, bringing far more than mere heft to the fight.

ABILITY: Glacial Defence (Active) – Stonehorn gains increased armour and missile resistance, at the expense of some speed.
ABILITY: Frostbite – Reduces the speed of enemies this unit strikes in melee.

THE MARQUIS OF MASOCHISM – Keeper of Secrets
SLAANESH

“I have such sights to show you!”

ABILITY: Feasting on Fear (Passive) – Regenerates health based on number of enemies who have had their morale break around the Keeper of Secrets.
SPELL UPDATE: Lash of Slaanesh → Phantasmagoria
SPELL UPDATE: Acquiescence → Enfeebling Foe

THE GOLDEN GRIFFIN OF THEURGY – Lord of Change
TZEENTCH

The most powerful of the Changer’s chosen confuses and beguiles before swooping in to give his enemies a bloody, merciless mauling.

ABILITY: Increased Armour (permanent Glittering Robe)
SPELL UPDATE: Blue Fire of Tzeentch → Searing Doom
SPELL UPDATE: Pink Fire of Tzeentch → Gehenna’s Golden Hounds

SKAVEN ENDGAME CRISIS: VERMINTIDE

STABILITY & PERFORMANCE

Improvements made to the overall stability and performance of the game.

Fixed an end-of-turn crash that could occur when a default rebel faction was set to another faction omitted from the Campaign.
Fixed a rare crash when characters would trigger post-battle voiceover lines in a Campaign.

Below are changes made to the gameplay rules, AI, and other mechanics that dictate how the game is played.

RULES, SYSTEMS & GENERAL UPDATES

How They Play events on campaign starts have been rewritten to cover core gameplay elements for every faction.
Removed a number of starting wars between factions who were not their intended starting opponents. (This is unlikely to affect player experience directly, but will improve the performance of AI factions such as the Daemon Prince.)
Updated reinforcement locations within various faction settlements to prevent unintended enemy behaviour.
Effects that increased healing caps are no longer 100x stronger than intended.
Settlement and deployed towers have had their damage reduced to be consistent with WARHAMMER I and WARHAMMER II towers.
When colonising ruins, you now take a temporary vigour penalty instead of a massive manpower loss.
Fixed some quest items that provided magical attacks despite the Legendary Lord having magical attacks by default.
Fixed an issue where Sword of Khaine didn’t correctly transfer post battle if its owner died, resulting it equipping to another Lord/Hero.
Fixed an issue where vassalized factions would lose objective completion upon re-loading a save file.
Fixed an issue where auto-resolve battle results would change after loading a quick save.
Removed the cap for income provided by tribute from vassals.
Endgame ultimate victory objectives now support vassalizing factions as an alternate option to confederating or destroying them.
Endgame scenarios now trigger the research of all technologies for the respective factions automatically.
The free upkeep effect on endgame scenario armies is now visible to the player.
Mounted Marauder variants will no longer fire autonomously in melee, though it is still possible to manually order the unit to fire (we are investigating other cases of units that gain large amounts of performance from similar behaviours).
Allied recruitment will now provide access to all units offered by the requisite DLC (if owned). As before, there is a subset of units available to non-DLC owners.
Added and increased trade-focused benefits to the ports of Marienburg, Lothern, Erengrad and Bordeleaux.
Campaign reductions to the Winds of Magic cost should now properly affect overcast spells.
Dragon Fang Mounts are now properly available to the intended WARHAMMER III factions.

We’ve implemented additional fixes for instances of flying units being able to capture points, this time affecting:

Mage (Fire) – Dragon Mounted (High Elves)
Phoenix Mounted (Teclis)
Glade Captain – Eagle Mounted (Wood Elves)
Adjusted the timing of Blood Pack Incidents so that they’re more regularly spaced out.
Reduced the duration of Blood Pack Incidents to five turns.

Plus, his starting position has been changed—starting in Karond Kar made it harder to convincingly brood, so they are now encamped in The Monoliths.

ELTHARION THE GRIM

Fixed an issue where razing or sacking a Skaven settlement would not count towards Gor-rok’s Mace of Ulumak quest.

NAKAI

Nakai’s long victory objectives now mainly focus on dealing with the servants of darkness in the east, with the exception being Clan Pestilens in Lustria.
If Clan Pestilens is still alive once Nakai reaches his short victory, he’ll receive a dilemma allowing him to spawn a wandering army to aid the lizards in Lustria.
Added the total Old One’s Favour value to Nakai’s Temples of the Old Ones panel.

TECHNOLOGY

(Check the rest of the patch notes from the official website)

Warhammer Gameplay

Total War: Warhammer III combines turn-based strategy and real-time tactical gameplay. Players take turns marching troops around the battlefield and controlling villages over the campaign. Players negotiate with and fight against AI-controlled factions. When armies engage, the battle takes place in real-time. In addition, the game will include a custom fighting option in which players may create real-time conflicts and online multiplayer bouts. Owners of the first two games’ races will be able to play them in multiplayer in the third game, and a merged global map will be developed for them, akin to the “Mortal Empires” campaign in Total War: Warhammer II.

What Are Patch Notes?

Patch Notes are the control files that provide the fixes for the vulnerabilities and bugs your game has previously dealt with. Usually, the inventor of the game publishes the patches for the game in a timely order to provide fixes for the bugs. In the quick term, patch notes help your game run glitchless and are reasonably compatible. The patches are nothing but the recently added game changes, which entirely affect the in-game features and algorithms.
