Total War: Warhammer 3 – Patch 2.4 ‘Immortal Empires’ Updates
Patch 2.4 brought Immortal Empires to everyone with Total War: Warhammer 3. But it also brought other much-needed updates.
You have probably heard by now that the vast swaths of the Old World are open up. Immortal Empires arrived for all in Patch 2.4 for Total War: Warhammer 3. And with it, the full maps and factions from Warhammers 1 and 2.
But alongside the new patch’s best game mode, a number of much-needed updates have come rolling out too.
Total War: Warhammer 3 – Patch 2.4
Perhaps the biggest change is Immortal Empires. But a few other fairly substantive ones can be found not too far into the patch notes.
Notably, Karak Eight Peaks is now a ten-slot settlement for Skaven, as intended. Meanwhile, Malus’ quest battle for the Warpstone of Khaine is now in the Chaos Wastes, closer to home. Garrisons are no longer reinforcements, and start battles on the field.
A number of graphical glitches, including snapping models, clipping attacks, and more have been patched out. And a number of broken items work again. Here’s a look at a few more in-depth patch notes, going through each faction in detail.
