Total War: Warhammer III Adds Custom Daemon Prince Options
There’s a new Legendary Lord on the horizon in Total War: Warhammer III. Time for your own personal Daemon Prince.
Total War: Warhammer III is coming soon and Games Workshop is teasing a ninth Legendary Lord coming to the series. This one is slightly different that the others. Why? Because it’s one you’ll get to customize yourself!
“You’ve got to expect the unexpected when it comes to Chaos – and that means you get to build the Daemon Prince of your nightmares. You can choose any of the four gods, or become a servant of Chaos Undivided, adding your own special blend of magic, mutations, and malfeasance. “
Build Your Own Daemon Prince
Daemon Princes can come in lots of different flavors. At the same time, Total War: Warhammer III has a full storyline for you to follow for your Daemon Prince. They will be able to grow in power just like other Legendary Lords. However, you’ll get to choose how they progress.
They will earn a special resource called Daemonic Glory which you can use to “curry favour with the Dark Gods” which leds to upgrades. These upgrades can be many things including new artefacts, abilities, and even new appendages! Customizing your personal Daemon Prince is what makes this one so cool!
The Total War: Warhammer III team built a new system to handle all the options. According to Andy Hall, the lead writer of the Total War: Warhammer series, there are billions of possible combos here.
“Andy Hall: This gave us the chance to create a brand-new system allowing players to customise a character that is truly unique – our system has billions of different combinations from pools of various appendages, heads, armour, weapons, wings, and tails!”
And if you’re thinking all those options are just cosmetic or aesthetic, think again!
“Andy: It’s not just the aesthetics that change when you equip body parts and weapons, but the stats too. Each body part will bring a bundle of differing abilities. For example, an Armoured Corpulent Tail opens up the passive ability Slime Trail and awards +10 Armour and +3% hit points, whereas the Masquerading Helm gives bonuses to armour and melee attack, and the ability to cast the Slaaneshi spell Phantasmagoria. “
We can’t wait to see what crazy combos the players come up with. This new Daemon Prince system is going to blow the doors wide open for customization and optimization for your Legendary Lord. How will you focus your dark powers with your own custom Daemon Prince!?
So many options…
