Creative Assembly aiming to keep single-player and multiplayer in step
Immortal Empires wasintroducedtoTotal War: Warhammer3 for single-player and multiplayer back in August, supporting up to eight players for the latter. This mode brought in boatloads of stuff from the first two games in the series, set across a huge campaign and gigantic map. If the host owns all three games, that is. With the 2.3.0 update, an Immortal Empires host can choose which endgame scenarios they want to trigger, and when, or just switch them off. There’s a heap more changes in the update, including adjustments to victory objectives for some Legendary Lords, along with unit balance changes. You can read the mahoosive full patch notes for update 2.3.0here.
Nate (RPS in peace) thought the game transformed multiplayer for the series in hisTotal War: Warhammer 3 review. “Whenever anyone jumps from the plate of the strategic map into the RTS gravy swamp, other players can get involved either by being loaned sections of a participating player’s army… or by taking on elements of the AI opposition,” he said. “The potential this offers for shitstirring in fights that have nothing to do with you, all on its own, makes this a splendid decision.”
Total War: Warhammer 3 is onSteamand theEpic Games Storefor £50/$60/€60. If you subscribe to PC Game Pass then you can find it on there, too.
