Total War: Warhammer III 1.3 Update Set For June 30th
The Total War: Warhammer III 1.3 update is setting the stage for the Immortal Empires grand debut.
We’ve been covering all the latest updates for Total War: Warhammer III, and thanks to today’s blog post, we finally have a release date! The Total War: Warhammer III 1.3 Update will be releasing on July 30th, and we have a good preview of everything contained within.
The blog post itself mentions that this is not everything from the update, but hits all the major points.
Regiments of Renown II
Seven new Regiments of Renown units will be added as part of this update. This will be the second official unit pack added to the game. Each of the core races will be getting “new, elite variants” for their armies. As the release date for this update approaches, they will be revealing additional details about each of the new units.
Character Traits & Skill Tree Reworks
Upon defeating a Legendary Lord, you gain a special new trait. However, through user feedback the dev team decided to make these rewards a little more rewarding! They don’t go into any detail of how, but that’s the nature of a preview, I suppose.
Additionally, several skill trees will be seeing some tweaks. Based on the wording of the blog post, it sounds like the tweaks will focus on buffing armies that take a while to rebuild. So, this could see a nice buff to some more elite armies. We’ll have to wait and see.
Realm of Chaos
The Realm of Chaos campaign is seeing some quality of life changes. The Total War: Warhammer III 1.3 Update will address some of the frustrations players ran into while dealing specifically with Be’lakor and Tzeentch.
Lots of Other Stuff
There are a bunch more changes in this update, so let’s rattle them off quickly.
- Tzeentch’s Changing of Ways is nerfed
- Cathay’s Formation Attack is buffed
- Kurgan Warbands spawn rate is nerfed
- Miao Ying can now use Eye of the Storm in Dragon form
- Unit AI has improved in several ways, including pathfinding, targeting, and ability use
- Plague Attrition has been nerfed
- Land and Domination battles are now in Ranked play.
They also make note that they are planning on increasing the frequency of Field Battles in a future update, since it’s not quite where they want it yet.
