UI

• Fixed an issue which prevented accents from displaying properly in the lobby news feed.
• Added a missing icon for an effect in the Wood Elf building tree.
• Added the correct category icon for the Herald of Slaanesh (Shadow)

• Corrupted traits are now removed as the corrupted character spends time in a province with lower levels of that particular type of corruption. (This is indifferent to any other types of corruption in that province.)
• Fixed a issue where the Everlasting Gift [technology] would remove some of the effects of the Gift of Slaanesh [upgrade] rather than applying the correct bonuses.
• The Supply Lines values will now update properly when disbanding Lords.
• Fixed an issue where units docked in dockable areas would not adjust their firing arc so they could continue firing at enemy units.

• Implemented fixes for several deployment and vanguard deployment zones in several maps.

• Fixed issues in which Hero buffs and recruitment rank buildings would fail to properly apply their bonuses.
• Fixed an issues where infinite Winds of Magic could be generated due to a rounding error with reserves and recharge rates.

Prologue

• Fixed an issue where the Prologue could get stuck after the Battle for Fort Devingard.
• Players should no longer be unable to progress when ending a turn immediately after losing Yuri.
• Yuri will no longer hop in place following the scream chasm trigger.
• Players should no longer have their progression blocked by accidentally deselecting the settlement before completing the Lord recruitment guide.
• Players should no longer have their progression blocked by selecting a settlement during the Daemon Encounter guide.
• Fixed an issue which would prevent the player from progressing after capturing the Claw Reach.

• Fixed a crash when trying to skip the camera flythrough at the start of the campaign.
• Added a link to the “Shields” tooltip that appears during the first battle with Tzeentch.

The Realm of Chaos

• Reduced the effect of negative traits inflicted upon entering the Realms of Chaos by ~50%.
• Daemon Legendary Lords will no longer be afflicted by the negative traits within the realm of their respective Chaos God.
• Negative traits inflicted by the Realm of Chaos will now be removed when a Legendary Lord completes the survival battle within that realm.
• Upon intercepting an AI faction at the Forge of Souls, the Legendary Lord will now lose all of their souls rather than being wounded for 15 turns. This will force them to collect the souls over again.
• The “Protection” chain of buildings can now be constructed to prevent rifts from spawning in the province in which they’re built.

Completing a survival battle will now also provide the winning faction with the following benefits for 10 turns:

• (+ or -) 5 of the winning faction’s corruption across all provinces
• +8 control across all provinces
• +15 growth across all provinces
• +10% income across all provinces

Additional adjustments made to the following realms:

• Tzeentch Realm: Options offered during dilemmas triggered at “points of interest” will now provide replenishment
• Tzeentch Realm: Boon from Tzeentch: This option offered by the dilemma now properly displays its rewards when it appears.
• Nurgle Realm: The attrition resistance effects granted by “points of interest” now last 20 turns instead of for the duration spent in the realm. This means that the boon can now also be carried back to the mortal world.
• Nurgle Realm: Flying units can no longer be deployed atop of the Nurgle island environment prop.
• Players can no longer replace the Legendary Lord of an army with a regular Lord when at the Forge of Souls.
• Fixed a rare issue which would result in the Forge of Souls rift being closed despite having access to the final battle.

Be’lakor

After completing the campaign, the player will now be given the option to banish Be’lakor. This will provide the following permanent benefits:

• +3 Hero Capacity for all Heroes
• +14 Hero and Lord recruit rank
• +5 Winds of Magic per turn for all armies
• +7 Control across all provinces
• +25 Growth across all provinces
• +15% Income across all provinces

One additional change made to the Lord:

• Be’lakor now has a starting trait that grants access to his unique battle ability, Shadow Shroud, rather than it being granted by default.

And an additional fix for the campaign:

• Fixed an issue where completing a campaign and clicking “continue to the records” would re-play Be’lakor’s first voiceover line rather than the proper line.

Daemons of Chaos

We felt that The Daemon Prince (aka “Daniel”) was underperforming in battles against enemy lords, so we’ve adjusted his base stats and moved some other values around to bolster his terrifying presence on the battlefield.

• Melee Attack increased from 25 to 50
• Melee Defence increased from 20 to 45
• Base damage increased from 200 to 225
• Armour Piercing Damage increased from 200 to 225
• Armour increased from 10 to 20
• Charge Bonus increased from 30 to 40

To accommodate for his higher base stats, we’ve reduced the effect values of the starting gifts available to The Daemon Prince when starting a new campaign:

• Mark of Chaos (Torso): Reduced Melee Defence from +10 to +5
• Muscular Arms (Left Arm): Removed Melee Attack +15
• Muscular Arms (Right Arm): Removed Base Weapon Damage +10%

Daemons of Chaos: Daemonic Progression Offerings

We’ve increased the values of the pre-dedication Daemonic Progression Offering bundles to keep them all balanced. The post-dedication Offerings have also been buffed with some extra power as you dedicate yourself to your chosen Chaos God: including buffs to the God-specific recruitment ranks of units, agents, and Lords. This should shorten the time it takes for your Lords to reach their exalted forms.

• Offering VIII (All Gods): Increased the dedicated God-specific Lord recruitment rank from +3 to +10
• Offering VIII (All Gods): Increased the dedicated God-specific agent recruitment rank from +3 to +10
• Offering VIII (All Gods): Reduced the dedicated God-specific unit recruitment time by 2 turns

• Tzeentch Offering VIII: Removed the chance to increase the strength of the Winds of Magic when changing
• Tzeentch Offering VIII: Increased the chance to strengthen the Winds of Magic skill from +10% to +25%
• Offering IX (All Gods): Increased the dedicated God- specific unit recruitment rank for all armies from +3 to +6

Daemons of Chaos: The Daemon Prince’s Gift Sets

We’ve not only added a missing upgrades ability to the Undivided sets, but made some additional adjustments to balance these sets alongside the other balance changes to the Daemons of Chaos.

• The Armoured Prince of Chaos: Equipping the set now grants an upgraded version of the Mortal Blow ability
• The Armoured Prince of Chaos: Removed the +10% glory gain bonus
• The Armoured Prince of Chaos: Increased the Leadership Aura Size from +25% to +50%
• The Scorched Prince of Chaos: Equipping the set now grants an upgraded version of the Mortal Blow ability
• The Scorched Prince of Chaos: Removed the +10% glory gain bonus
• The Adorned Prince of Slaanesh: Reduced the recruitment rank for Slaanesh units from +4 to +3

Domination (Game Mode)

As the Domination mode is new to Total War: WARHAMMER III, we’ve been eagerly waiting to see how it’s received and how it can continue to evolve from where it is now. We’re already working from the notion that the Domination mode available now will be drastically different from the Domination mode that exists years from now, and have included several changes in 1.1 to start the journey down that path.

There are a few areas of feedback where we’re beginning:

• Low Map Count: we’ve added two new maps and will continue working to include other existing maps in the very near future.
• Comeback Mechanic: We want there to be opportunities to come back after the first engagements, so we’re removing the damage-based income mechanic to support that goal.
• The Supply Resource: We want to reduce the “farming” of enemies in lieu of seizing and holding the capture points in the early game, so we’re increasing the supply trickle and adjusting how supplies are obtained in the game mode.

Another large-scale change we’re looking to make (based on feedback) is to speed up the game mode as a whole. To do this, we’re focusing on a few changes to the number of starting units initially available:

• We can see how having so few units to start doesn’t feel as epic as Land Battles.
• Factions which rely on larger formations or static styles of play end up being hurt by low starting numbers—particularly against highly-mobile forces.
• We are increasing the main army budget, starting supplies, and base income to help address the above problems.

Finally We also introduced a bug fix to take away refunds from withdrawn summoned units. This will allow us to more accurately monitor the balance of summoner units, such as Cultists, seeing as the income exploit will be gone.

• The army fund distribution between the main army and reinforcements has been rebalanced from 40% (main army)/60% (reinforcements) to 50%/50%.

We’ve adjusted the additional supplies a player gains when they are trailing in a Domination match:

• +5 supplies per second when trailing by 1000+ tickets
• +10 supplies per second when training by 2000+ tickets

Other changes to how supplies are gained:

• Added 500 initial supplies to the default stockpile
• Increased the base supply income from 16 to 20 per second
• Removed the supply income provided via damage to enemy units

General Fixes

• We’ve temporarily disabled the ability to use the manual targeting system in multiplayer battles, seeing that it can be exploited to ignore the reload times of certain units. We are reviewing this system in greater depth and will look to restore it later on.
• Players in ranked battles will no longer be able to load an army from the Daemons of Chaos
• Fixed an issue where Be’lakor’s Blade of Shadow [ability] did not have an associated cost in custom/multiplayer battles.
• The Palace of Slaanesh [Survival Battle]: Fixed an issue where all players would lose connection following the Courtesan cutscene.
• The Palace of Slaanesh [Survival Battle]: Fixed an issue where players would lose connection after completing the battle.

• Brazilian-Portuguese: Fixed a line during the first mission of the Something Rotten in Kislev multiplayer campaign that displayed in Spanish.

Below are issues which have been identified that are either new with the update or relevant to the changes above. This is by no means a comprehensive list of issues being worked on, but are important notes to keep in mind as you re-join the battlefield.

• Soft lock if your army is placed on top of (or behind) the Final Battle quest marker. Following the change to the Forge of Souls mechanics, there are two issues we’ll be working to solve in a future update—both of which involve the Final Battle quest marker on the Forge of Souls island.First, by placing an army adjacent to the marker, the AI will enter both the player’s zone of control and the zone of the quest marker, meaning that the game will end in an AI victory if the player is unable to stop the army. Likewise, if the you win the battle within the radius of the quest marker, the game will hang indefinitely as the AI has both won and is no longer present to conclude the game.To circumvent these issues until we can implement a fix, you should avoid placing your Lord and army in the same space as the Final Battle quest marker.

Older Warhammer 3 Patch Notes

1.0.2 – March 14, 2022

Game

• Improved our build-authoring process, which will reduce the excessive install times required for relatively small patches. We expect to further reduce these install times with the next game update.
• Fixed a problem where the vertical sync (VSync) setting was being forced on for some players—artificially limiting the framerate regardless of system specs.
• Resolved game stuttering issues when playing the game in Windows 11 with Intel Alder Lake (12th-generation) processors.
• Fixed an issue that caused the game to hang on first boot in certain languages.
• The game will now display an error if installed to a folder path that uses non-English characters. Doing so will cause the game to be unresponsive. To alleviate this, we recommend changing the installation location to a folder or folder path that doesn’t include non-English characters.

• Fixed an issue that caused battles in multiplayer campaign to desync.
• General multiplayer services improvements.

1.0.1 – February 24, 2022

• Fixed an issue where the multiplayer lobby would refresh too quickly, preventing players from being able to select and join a room.
• Fixed an issue which prevented invites to a multiplayer lobby from working properly.
• The game now runs in DirectX 11 compatibility mode for all users by default. This is to prevent instances where users inadvertently ran on the legacy implementation of the DirectX 12 beta.
• Improved how 12th generation Intel CPUs (aka ‘Alder Lake’ family) interact with the game, providing more consistent framerates when running on these processors.
