Total War: Warhammer 3's next updates will tackle "anti-player bias" and self-destructive AI

Back in Total FebWar, the Total War: Warhammer III team penned a desperate missive in entrail fluids, full of scrawled warnings about the changes coming to the strategy game's AI. With their last ounce of strength, they rolled out a beta test for the planned tweaks. Now, the results are in, circling in the eerily fallow wake of over 50,000 campaigns, like carrion crows with tangible datasets grasped tight in their beaks. Thanks, death crows!


The new query system worked well, with foes no longer cowering from lone enemy agents as if they were doomstacks. The tweaks to faction aggression and potential were shakier, causing some unintended consequence. As such, the upcoming 6.1 patch won't include changes to how fighty or flourishing your foes are. "Faction Potential changes made minor factions significantly easier to defeat for major factions," reads the blog. "This in turn caused Elector factions to perish too early and to be ineffective even when brought back". Makes sense. Can't summon the dead, unless you're one of the several Warhammer factions that can actually do that quite easily.
