Excited for more grand strategy with Total War: WARHAMMER III? We have a while longer to wait yet on the release since it was delayed into 2022 but we do have a big new trailer.
Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/10/total-war-warhammer-iii-gets-a-new-long-epic-trailer-showing-grand-cathay-vs-tzeentch
You've seen what Cathay brings to the table, you've seen Tzeentch revealed in all its deceptive glory, now you can watch them fight each other in a new action-packed trailer for strategy game Total War: Warhammer III that sees Kairos Fateweaver trying to breach one of the gates along Cathay's Great Bastion.
It's a scripted trailer, but it does use in-engine footage, and you get to see plenty of the new Cathay and Tzeentch units revealed so far in action. If you're looking for something more informative, Creative Assembly also released a post yesterday detailing the faction mechanics for Kislev.
Kislev's principle concern is devotion, which represents not only how well you as a player are upholding the ideals of Kislev, but also an abstraction of your people's will to defeat Chaos. It can be gained easily by fighting Chaos-aligned armies, as well as sacrificing captives post battle. You can also get it through various decisions and buildings. Should it dip too low, invasions from Chaos armies will become more frequent, as the people stop believing the great enemy can be beaten.

After a lot of explaining how the factions of Grand Cathay and Tzeentch will work in Total War: Warhammer 3, Creative Assembly today demonstrated with a nine-minute video dramatically recapping a battle between the two. The third game in their fantasy real-time strategy series has needed to invent and fill out a lot of armies not present in the tabletop game, so it's interesting to see them in action. Got some nice colours and weird warmen, at the very least.
