Total War: WARHAMMER III News

• Fixed an issue where The Ice Court and The Great Orthodoxy would get stuck at 100/100 supporters after quest battles without increasing tier
  
• Fixed Beastmen being able to settle without creating a Herdstone, causing them to permanently lose their shards.
  
• Fixed an issue where flying spellcasters would be constantly spinning round in circles.
  

• Manually abandoning a settlement in a Bloodground as a Beastmen faction results in the 3DUI not updating properly and showing the settlement as not a part of the Bloodground.
  
• When loading a saved game from before version 6.1.3 as a Beastmen faction, the region occupation restrictions get updated on End Turn, not on load.
  

• Fixed an issue so that Beastmen can no longer occupy regions in a Bloodground without actually raising a Herd stone. This used to be allowed in error and consumed a shard without providing an avenue to get it back.
  
• Fixed an issue where players could open a panel using hotkeys during the transition from pre to post-battle
  
• Fixed an issue where confederated leaders would not automatically get Followin' Da Plan points if confederated while wounded when playing as the Ironclaw Orcs

• Fixed an issue where Skulltaker's tongue was missing during the intro cinematic to 'The Slayer Sword' quest battle
  
• Fixed an issue where the Cockatrice didn’t have a recruitment cap when being recruited by Beastmen armies (Old saves will likely see some mild confusion, as existing Cockatrice in those saves will technically be the Tzeentch version, which is not capped).
  
• Fixed an issue where The Ice Court and The Great Orthodoxy would get stuck at 100/100 supporters after quest battles without increasing tier.
  

• Fixed an issue where Flying casters could spin around when casting spells and moving simultaneously (although spinning is a good trick)

Total War Warhammer 3 patch 6.1 arrives with full Kislev and Kairos reworks

Total War Warhammer 3 patch 6.1 will deliver a dramatic Kislev rework

• Kislev - Based on your feedback and reviews by our Design team, we've made adjustments to balance, building, tiering, and tech for Kislev to improve your overall gameplay experience.
  
• Tzeentch - Kairos Fateweaver has received a number of skill fixes and adjustments.
  
• Balancing & Bugs - a fresh batch of bug fixes and additional balance adjustments, including fixes targeting recent performance issues e.g. stuttering. As always, please report any other issues you encounter through our bug reporting sub-forum.

• Mod manager/launcher performance issues.
  
• Issues surrounding the display of enemy movement range previews in campaign.
  
• Court & Orthodoxy becomes significantly more difficult to balance after confederating your opponent.
  
• Reports of support stuck at 100/100 and not receiving boons.
  
• Matriarchal power achievement not unlockable using the new invocations.
  

• Resolved an issue causing potential frame stuttering on certain machines, as well as occasional video frame skipping in the main menu.

• Fixed a crash when accessing the Ice Court.
  
• Fixed a crash caused by loading a save containing the tier 3 church building from pre-Kislev rework. Any instances of the tier 3 church will be replaced by the middle option in the new building tree for the churches.
  

• Devotion adjustments: Lowered the requirement for using Invocations to 25+ devotion. (It still costs 50 devotion to perform an invocation).
  

• The Ice Guard recruitment building has been collapsed into one single building (found at tier 4), providing access to both Ice Guard variants and capacity for Frost Maidens.
  
  • If you had either building constructed in an existing save, they will convert to the new combined building.
• Kislevite Cultural Capital defense buildings have been combined:
  
  • Watch patrol building chain has been removed.
    
  • All the benefits associated with it have been moved to the City Defences chain, which combines siege benefits with garrisons and devotion.
• Kislev’s Wall buildings now also generate a small amount of Devotion:

• Significantly increased experience granted by defence buildings for Atamans:
  
  • Major settlement walls:
    
    • 33 – 66 – 100 -> 100 – 200 – 300
  • Minor settlement walls:
    
    • 40 - 80 -> 100 – 200
  • Kislev Cultural capital walls:
    
    • 50 – 100 – 150 – 200 -> 100 – 200 – 300 – 400 – 500
  • Doubled the Experience granted by Resource buildings for Atamans.
    
    • 50 – 100 - 150 -> 100 – 200 – 300
• Ataman’s Estate:
  
  • XP per turn: 800 -> 1000
    
  • Income modifier: -100% -> -50%
    
  • Additionally, no longer completely disables income
    
  • Starting Supplies for sieges: 300 -> 1000

• Gnoblar Flingers
  
  • Barracks tier 2 -> 1
• Gnoblar Pigback Riders
  
  • Barracks tier 1 -> 2

• Fixed bugs where Atamans (Atamen?) were lost forever if they were injured in battle or you lost or traded the city that they were based in. They can now be correctly re-recruited.
  
• Gnoblar Flingers no longer start at 10% health in garrisons on turn 1 of campaigns. (They were just out of breath!)
  
• The "Royal Ice Guardians" technology for Kislev now correctly provides upkeep reduction for armies lead by Ice Witches instead of Frost Maidens.
  
• While Yuri's journey certainly is a struggle, we didn't mean to cut his tech tree down to just the "Struggling" category. The rest of the missing prologue tech tree has been restored.
  
• Kislev will no longer generate several outdated missions related to the supporter race and the old devotion system.
  
• Fixed a bug in Post Battle screen where mass visual artifacting would occur subsequently filled with black space covering the area.
  
• Added a cost element on tooltips for provincial devotion rituals.
  
• The ritual buttons in Kislev's Province Invocations UI are now correctly disabled when Devotion is spent for a Force Invocation and falls below the required threshold.
  
• Kairos' "Gaze To The Past" skill now correctly applies to the 4 lores aligned with his past head.
  
• Minor adjustments to Kairos' skill tree:
  
  • added -25% cooldown reduction for all spells to "Prescient Cant"
    
  • added "Fires of Change" lore passive to "Dwell in the Present"
• The "Court Agent" trait for Ice Witches and Frost Maidens now gives +2 ice court support per turn.
  
• Kislev will no longer randomly gain and lose access to Invocations in Gates, Forts and Bastions (these settlements do not have Public Order or Devotion.)
  
• The Kislev technology "Common Cause" is now correctly limited to units that are between rank 0 and rank 3. (Sorry Regiments of Renown, you're way out of this league.)
  

• Added a scrollbar to the available Atamans list in the Atamans Overlay so that it displays persistently and not only on mouse hover.
  
• Fixed Victory Conditions strings in the Victory Conditions panel that were missing localisation.
  
• Fire resistance and Fire Weakness now follow the new visual pattern we implemented in 6.1 with positive values appearing green and negative values appearing red when looking at the tooltip for a unit.
  
• Fix issue on the Unit Info panel where the Hero Details toggle button did not align correctly with the frame.

• Knights of the Brazen throne have now been issued their extra beefy Skullcrushers, changing their mass 1500 -> 1800 to match the 6.1 Balance Patch Notes that accidentally contained this change before it was made.
  
• Fixed an issue where units with the Fire Whilist Moving ability could engage units outside their range if the unit was moving backwards or towards them.
  
• Gorbad Ironclaw no longer takes penalties for being in a forest while on foot. (He's large and in charge, but not that large).
  
• Lore of Hags is now affected by spell intensity modifiers (Omen of Spirits is exempted, to prevent it recursively increasing its own intensity).
  
• Several minor adjustments to RoR units that were not in parity with their regular version:
  Sisters of the Singing Doom (Witch Elves) // Melee attack +1
  
  • Bightscab's Plaguepack (Plague Monk Censer Bearers) // Melee attack +1

In a new dev chat, CA senior community manager Steve Coleman is joined by game designer William Håkestad, lead DLC designer Vasil Nikolov, and principal technical designer Radoslav Borisov to talk about what's next after patch 6.1.
