I enjoyed WH2, but there seem to be issues with WH3? Definitely one I’d like to pick up down the line now I’m back into PC gaming.
Total War: Warhammer 3
- Thread starter Myaniad
- Start date
It's all good now, few bugs and the new way you defend settlements is a bit marmite, also cost and lack of content with the previous dlc, although rectified now.
If you like Warhammer it's a no brainer.
Plenty of mods as well which is good.

Thrones of Decay is out now.

Will give it a shot today. Usually don't enjoy playing as the Empire factions though ... bunch of wimps ! Give me some decent infantry !
My Malakai playthrough is bugged 
The final battle for the first adventure doesn't show up. Gutted, as I've made decent progress. But there's no point in continuing as I can't progress onto the third & fourth adventure.
My first 40ish turns of the campaign were great though. The Thunderbarge is amazing & a huge improvement over the pre-existing mod. I'll try starting again tomorrow.

Be interested to know who does autoresolve and who plays the battles? I think if I had more familiarity with the units and stuff I would have perhaps enjoyed playing the battles, but my knowledge of Warhammer is nothing compared to my 40K knowledge.
It's conflicting because on one hand I feel like I'm missing out on the big part of the game, but on the other sometimes it can be very slow and all that happens is I end up getting the same result or worse than if I auto resolved.

I auto resolve most minor settlement battles.
Or against wood elves....I suck against them no matter what race I use.
For me I enjoy the spectacle so try to use it as little as possible, also I feel I can run down more of the stragglers than auto.
I find that I need to be so zoomed out to see what's going on I never get the spectacle tbh.
I think I just suck at rts, noting I can pause it when I want.

I use the slow mo function at times when I feel I have breathing space, it's quite good.
Autoresolve results & the balance of power slider don't represent reality on the lower difficulty settings. Often you will be told a battle is in your favour when even the best players in the world wouldn't stand a cat in hell's chance of winning the battle manually. This is because the game gives out significant Autoresolve bonuses on easier difficulty modes.
Just something to be aware of. You might find the game more enjoyable on Hard or Very Hard. If it's too difficult, there's a separate slider to grant battlefield bonuses without affecting the difficulty level.

I picked this up on cdkeys yesterday, any advise on what you would do in this position welcome!
Do you own any of the previous Warhammer games?

No, I started the campaign and reclaimed the first settlement so its coming on.

So far the Kislev in the lost god. I was probing earlier more for the races and dlc as it looks pretty massive in what you can take in from a fresh player.
If you can get Warhammer 1 & 2 for cheap, I heartidly recommend it.
Warhammer 1 gives you.
Warhammer 2 gives you.
As for the DLC, here's the most recent video I can find on them.
My own takes on DLC factions and lords.
If you buy Warhammer 2 and want to play Skaven (1 of my favourite races), you need to buy "The Prophet and the Warlock". It adds so nice units for the Lizardmen, but absolutely changes the Skaven with some great ranged units.
If you fancy playing Beastmen, then I recommend also buying "The Silence and the Fury" DLC.
The DLC factions, the Vampire Coast and the Tomb Kings are worth buying. Some people are complaining that the Tomb Kings need a buff/rework, but I still find them fun to play.
Woodelves, I can give or take. The only faction I would avoid are the Ogre Kingdoms. Pretty weak and just not that much fun to play.
Personally, I would buy Warhammer 1&2, 1st. Their on sale on Steam and £10 each at the moment, which is £20 for 8 additional factions, which are all pretty solid.
Warhammer 1 gives you.
| Dwarfs | Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Grombrindal, Thorek Ironbrow, Ungrim Ironfist |
| The Empire | Emperor Karl Franz, Balthasar Gelt |
| Greenskins | Grimgor Ironhide, Azhag the Slaughterer, Wurrzag Da Great Green Prophet |
| Vampire Counts | Mannfred von Carstein, Heinrich Kemmler, Vlad von Carstein, Isabella von Carstein |
Warhammer 2 gives you.
| Dark Elves | Malekith, Morathi, Lokhir Fellheart*, Rakarth* |
| Lizardmen | Lord Mazdamundi, Kroq-Gar, Tiktaq’to*, Gor-Rok* |
| High Elves | Tyrion, Teclis, Alith Anar*, Imrik* |
| Skaven | Queek Headtaker, Lord Skrolk, Tretch Craventail* |

Thanks for your input. Since then, I did buy W1 for the reason you mention, and it was this odd but quirky spin on it called the savage edition. From what I gathered this opened up some chaos and beastmen!
Its really mad but why I posted here as unless your really into this with some experience you could cobble about and do it far less efficiently by the looks of it.

Just noticed this on the Totalwar reddit, it should help.
