[/p][p]Greetings everyone!
Today, weāre releasing Hotfix 6.2.1, bringing new fixes and tweaks to Total War: WARHAMMER III including balance changes to Books of Khorne and some new quality of life improvements.
Without further ado, letās get into it.

Quality of Life Highlights
- [p] Implemented a āEnable Realms of Chaos Frontend Videoā (currently āSkip realms of Chaos videoā) option into Game settings in the main menu. Enabling this setting will ensure the Realms of Chaos video plays before the frontend. Disabling it will skip the video when launching the game.

- [p] Single clicking on the icon for a reinforcement point on Domination Maps will no longer pan the camera to that location. Double clicking on the icon for a reinforcement point on Domination Maps will pan the camera to that location.

Campaign
[h2]Items[/h2]
- [p] We had one extra Unique tier item we planned to add that didnāt quite make it into 6.2: The Chalice of Malfleur. The Chalice is an arcane item that offers a huge trade-off to a caster - can you overcome its huge miscast penalties to benefit from its powerful rewards?
[/p] - [p] Azhag's Crown of Sorcery no longer says it unlocks Lore of Death spells since Azhag has this innately.
[/p] - [p] Fixed an issue where the next volumes of the Books of Khorne wouldn't drop for a Khornite faction.
[/p]
[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
- [p] Weāve changed Khorneās version of the Book of Khorne so that it no longer gives Spell intensity and instead Silenceās everyone in the region. A bit more fitting and useful for a Khorne faction.
[/p] - [p] We originally made the decision that the permanent razing effect of the completed Book of Khorne would prevent even Khorne factions from settling ruins through their automatic ruin colonization feature - however on second thought and considering your early feedback weāve decided to re-enable ruin colonization via this feature for Khorne factions. Weāll continue to monitor feedback on this.
[/p]
[h2]Skills [/h2]
- [p] Caskets of Souls aren't just for Christmas! They're affected by red line skills like other units :)
[/p] - [p] Azhag's skill "Insane Visions" now provides factionwide hero recruit rank increase instead of provincewide.
[/p] - [p] Paint da Beasts now affects Waaagh trophy units.
[/p]
[h2]UI[/h2]
- [p] Moved "Minor Faction Potential" and "AI Strength & Threat Assessment" checkboxes from endgame settings to general campaign settings (this will not affect current campaigns).
[/p] - [p] āImplemented a āEnable Realms of Chaos Frontend Videoā option into Game settings in the main menu. Enabling this setting (currently āSkip realms of Chaos videoā) will ensure the Realms of Chaos video plays before the frontend. Disabling it will skip the video.ā
[/p] - [p] The Black Arkās Docked effect now uses an icon when in pre-battle screen.
[/p] - [p] Fixed not restoring army selection after treasury, objectives or treasure maps panel has been closed.
[/p] - [p] Volksgrad is a major settlement, the garrison buildings available now correctly reflect that.
[/p] - [p] The Altdorf College of Forbidden Magic now correctly shows as a landmark in the building browser.
[/p]
[h2]General Fixes[/h2]
- [p] Fixed a potential crash on AI turns.
[/p] - [p] Fixed a crash when defeating a Malakai adventureās Wood Elf Force.
[/p] - [p] When occupying Kislev settlements that contain Court or Orthodoxy buildings, those buildings now convert as expected.
[/p] - [p] Shadow Realm stance no longer shows as a negative effect for Alith Anar.
[/p] - [p] The cost of discovery buildings is now in the correct order for Bretonnia, Vampire Coast, Dark Elves, Empire, High Elves, Lizardmen, Norsca, Skaven, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts, Wood Elves, Warriors of Chaos, Grand Cathay, Daemons of Chaos, Khorne, Kislev, Ogre Kingdoms, Slaanesh and Tzeentch.
[/p]
Battle
- [p] Fixed a possible crash during battle that may occur on the map "Vampire Forest" and possibly other maps too.
[/p] - [p] We've removed the expendable attribute from the Hobgoblin Bolt Thrower because Hobgoblins are not expendable.
[/p] - [p] Blood Knights & Blood Knights (Lances) now have their own unit caps.
[/p] - [p] Hobgoblin Bolt Thrower now has its own unit cap, matching that of other bolt throwers.
[/p] - [p] The Grudge Settler Quarreller (Great Weapons) now has the correct class (and icon).
[/p] - [p] The Emperor's Wrath (Steam Tank) no longer shows different stats in battle & campaign.
