Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game)	comment	Total War: Warhammer III is the sequel to Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II and the third and final game in the planned trilogy. The game was announced on February 3, 2021, and the races for launch are the Tzardom of Kislev, the Daemons of Chaos, the Empire of Grand Cathay and the Ogre Kingdoms. It was released on PC in February 17th, 2022, on Steam and the Epic Games Store.Its borders include the bitter, frozen country of Kislev at the very edge of the Old World's North, the vast easternlands that encircle the Darklands, as well as far Cathay, as well as the forsaken, impassable nightmare that is known as the Realm of Chaos, so far North it goes beyond frozen Norsca. It focuses on the eternal threat of the Chaos Gods, and the damnation they bring to so many. Like its predecessor, it has a campaign centered around its own factions; but if the player owns all three games, they can play a larger campaign map that combines the environments of the previous campaigns.Far beyond the world and its petty wars there exists a dimension of pure, malevolent magic: The Realm of Chaos. It is a terrible place, incomprehensible to the mortal mind. It whispers promises of power, but to behold it is to be seduced by it. To relinquish your soul to it. To become it.The four Ruinous Powers rule over this place, ever seeking to slip their bonds and engulf the world in a tide of daemonic corruption. Nurgle, the plague god; Slaanesh, the lord of excess; Tzeentch, the changer of ways; and Khorne, the god of blood and slaughter.On the border between the worlds, two mighty kingdoms stand sentinel: the stern warriors of Kislev, led by Tzarina Katarin, and the vast empire of Grand Cathay, under the rule of the Celestial Dragon Emperorâ€™s children. But each is beset by its own trials, and now both have cause to cross the threshold and send their armies into the Realm of Chaos.Within the Mountains of Mourn, the Ogre Kingdoms are mostly unbothered by the world-encompassing conflict. However, they still see a great opportunity for power, loot and food to be had by throwing their hat into the great game, something that Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese is quick to take advantage of, rallying the many tribes into battle.Amidst the smoke and forges of the Dark Lands, the Chaos Dwarfs consider these recent events tumultuous enough for their many enemies and a perfect opportunity to expand outwards against the rest of the world. Astragoth Ironhand, oldest of the Sorcerer Prophets, now prepares to make the ultimate tribute for Hashut and cement the supremacy of the Dawi-Zharr.The world stands on a precipice. A single push will plunge it into cataclysm - a push that has already been achieved. Ursun, the bear-god of Kislev, lies dying by the hand of a treacherous mortal, sealed within the Forge of Souls deep in the Realm of Chaos. There, Be'lakor, the Master of Shadows and the first Daemon Prince, is slowly draining the god of his remaining life and power, eager to enact his revenge on the Dark Gods, with Ursun's desperate flailing for life tearing holes between the mortal world and the Realm of Chaos. This has caught the attention of Ursun's would-be murderer, a fallen prince of the Ungols, whose ultimate sacrilege against his god has seen him ascend to daemonhood himself. He now seeks to complete what he set in motion and steal the bear-god's power from under Be'lakor.With apocalypse comes opportunity - to free Ursun in return for a legendary boon, or to finish the job and take his power for oneself. The coming conflict will engulf all. Will you conquer your daemons? Or command them?Many tropes that apply here also apply to Warhammer, and vice versa.Previews: Trailers: Announce Trailer, Trial By Fire Trailer, The Dawn of Grand Cathay, Join the Ogre Kingdoms, A Covenant With Chaos, Chaos Undivided, Sons of Kislev, Immortal Empires teaser trailer, Champions of Chaos Launch Trailer, Immortal Empires Release Trailer, Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, Shadows of Change, Thrones of Decay Gameplay previews: Global Gameplay Reveal, Siege Rework, Grand Cathay vs Tzeentch Great Bastion Battle, Oracles of Tzeentch vs Grand Cathay Battle Gameplay, New Battle Features, Nurgle vs Slaanesh Gameplay Battle, Slaanesh vs Nurgle Gameplay Battle, First Look Campaign Map, Slaanesh vs Nurgle Gameplay Battle, Ogre Kingdoms vs Exiles of Khorne Battle Gameplay, Let's play with Miao Ying of Grand Cathay, Let's play with Tzarina Katarin of The Ice Court, Let's play with Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided, Corruption Feature Faction previews: Enter the World of Kislev, Enter the World of Khorne, Enter the World of Grand Cathay, Enter the World of Tzeentch, Enter the World of Ogre Kingdoms, Enter the World of Nurgle, Enter the World of Slaanesh

Kislev has Kostaltyn, the zealous Supreme Patriarch of the Great Orthodoxy, while Cathay has Miao Ying and Zhao Ming, the children of the Celestial Dragon Emperor. On the Daemonic side, the God-Slayer is also an original character who sports unique customizability to boot. And as subsequent DLC has been added, more and more original characters have been added to those aforementioned factions.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c	type	Violation of Common Sense
Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c	comment	Violation of Common Sense: Relative to the previous two games. Most Total War games play like a map-painter, encouraging you to expand and create a huge empire. Always expand, always grow, always be fighting. The Reign of Chaos campaign is much harder if you do this, since you have more portals to close, more territory to defend, and it's more likely your Legendary Lord will be out of position when the time comes to grab a soul. Instead the campaign encourages you to build tall and expand only to two or three provinces, focusing all your effort on creating the biggest, mightiest doomstack you can for the trip to the Realm of Chaos and the survival battles therein and maintaining the bare minimum of territory you need to sustain it. Flying melee units can attack and destroy constructed towers (the ones built mid-battle, not ones built into walls) much faster than artillery can because of a number of quirks in how the game assigns damage.Long-Winded ExplanationArtillery simply fires a projectile, determines what it hits, and calculates damage, reducing it by armor or resistances as needed. The tradeoff for this simplicity is a very long time between attacks. For melee units it's more complicated - They first choose a target, take a swing, determine if that swing connects based on an Accuracy calculation adjusted by the attacker's Melee Attack and the defender's Melee Defense. If the attack hits then the target might be Knocked Down, which is important because damage hasn't actually been assigned yet; indeed that check often (but not always) occurs after it checks to see if the target is knocked down. Only after going through all this and determining the target is still in reach is the damage calculated and applied, and all this is calculated separately for each individual model in the unit. This effectively means that melee units are doing a tiny fraction of their theoretical damage-dealing capability against any given enemy because they're missing or enemies are getting knocked out of the way or they have nothing to swing at. Towers, however, are a large surroundable single target so most of a unit can attack them at once, have 0 melee defense meaning they almost always get hit, can't be knocked down so they're never out of reach, and have no Resistances and often little Armor to boot. This means they're the only thing in the game a unit of melee attackers can do their incredibly high theoretical maximum damage against, and since melee units attack so fast compared to artillery they can often take a tower down before the cannon finishes reloading from its first shot. Encampment stance now only provides its casualty replenishment bonus in hostile territory. If the difference between you encampment bonus and your province's regular casualty replenishment bonus is large enough it can be faster to replenish in a camp in enemy territory than in a friendly city. Building up friendly relations with an ally, sticking by them, standing up for them, and helping them out feels like it should be the best way to secure a confederation, but it's actually the worst. AI factions will rarely confederate if they feel safe, so the best way to secure a confederation is to actively undermine and sabotage them in ways that don't damage your relations. Preferred tactics for this include 'borrowing' their armies and intentionally getting them killed and securing a military alliance then declaring war on their neighbors, and even then you may have to threaten them into accepting the confederation.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_1fba5f9e	comment	Enemy Exchange Program: If you have an alliance with a faction from a different race, you may build a special "outpost" sub-building in any of their settlements, which will enable you to spend allegiance points to hire that race's units from the chosen city. Upgrading the outpost provides access to the parent empire's global recruitment, and the presence of the outpost will also provide the city's owner with a few of their partner's units to augment the local defence garrison. A single army can support up to four auxilary units. One gimmick of the Daemons of Slaanesh is the ability to "seduce" enemy units before battle, paying their cost in gold out of a fixed budget to make them switch sides for the battle. They'll immediately disband if you are victorious, for reasons that are thankfully left unspoken.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: The four factions of Chaos Daemons were part of a single faction in Fantasy, while Kislev was only had a few units to its name and Cathay was essentially a lore-only non-entity. The game fully promotes them into a fully playable faction with its own roster, heroes, and Legendary Lords. Cathay in particular is easily the most dramatic example for the trilogy, as they never had an official army list or any presence in the Warhammer tabletop game, not even any appearances in the Gaiden Games, since they (along with the other far eastern realms such as Ind and Nippon) existed as an offscreen Space-Filling Empire with only scraps of concrete lore.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: One of the unique weapons that can be found in the Blood God's Domain in the Realm of Chaos campaign is a Chainsword. This hearkens back to the days where Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 shared the same setting, when it was possible to gift mortal followers of Chaos with 40K weapons in the tabletop game. Some of the imperial hero units that are recruitable are the player party from The End Times: Vermintide, and they do in fact have a higher chance to spawn naturally if a Skaven faction has declared war on the Empire. This is taken even further in the literal Vermintide endgame crisis, which not only reenacts the story of Vermintide by spawning massive amounts of Skaven across the map, but also gives the player a unique quest battle which rewards them with an army that has a Witch Hunter, Dwarf Thane, Wood Elf Waystalker, Imperial Captain, and Bright Wizard embedded by default, all at level 25, the same set up as the player characters from Vermintide. As a nod to him originating from the Gotrek & Felix novels, Malakai Makaisson's segments of the Thrones of Decay trailer features cameos from the eponymous duo.

While there is a base Daemons of Chaos faction, the four Chaos Gods have been given their own separate factions as well that combine both Daemons and Mortals (in a similar fashion to Age of Sigmar). The Immortal Empires and Champions of Chaos DLCs further blur the lines, with Marked Mortals such as Sigvald and Valkia being in specialized Warriors of Chaos subfactions in the campaign that can recruit Daemon units from their patron gods, but being also playable in Monogod rosters in Custom Battle and Multiplayer. Even Be'lakor leads a Warriors of Chaos subfaction rather than a Daemons of Chaos subfaction on the Immortal Empires campaign, though his faction can recruit Daemon units from all of the gods.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_2eb5b964	comment	The Cathayans, after being taught for millennia by the dragons that rule over their land, have developed the Lore of Yin and the Lore of Yang. The Lore of Yin utilizes the darker, stealthier and colder parts of the different lores wile the Lore of Yang utilizes the brighter, extravagant and hotter parts of the different lores, all to ensure harmony. It is the closest thing that most humans will ever get to casting High or Dark magic without burning their soul out.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_2f72ded5	comment	Husky Russkie: All of the male Kislevite units are this to a degree, combined with Mother Russia Makes You Strong. This is to the point that with the exception of Kostaltyn and the Patriarchs, Kislevite males (and even Naryska Leysa for a Rare Female Example given that her armor is fully enclosed) use the Norscan/Chaos Warrior skeleton rather than the regular human skeleton used by the Imperials, Bretonnians, and Cathayans. Itâ€™s especially apparent with the huge Boyars and Tzar Boris Ursus himself, who wrestled with a giant polar bear and made it into his loyal mount. Even the God-Slayer, being a former Kislevite prince, retains his cultural accent as a hulking Daemon Prince.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	type	Game-Breaking Bug
Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	Game-Breaking Bug: The game launched with a twofer in relation to field battles. The first was a bug that greatly slowed down unit response times to the point they could take multiple seconds to respond to issued commands, which made 'micro' (the fine management of individual units in combat) very clunky and unresponsive, and the second was a bug that caused ranged infantry to never find a firing solution and simply shuffle in place forever without doing anything. These two bugs combined to make a miserable playing experience for anyone manually fighting battles as factions that relied on fine control of their ranged units, namely Cathay and Kislev, and it showed in those two factions having the worst win-rates in multiplayer. There are two related bugs that sometimes cause games to get irreversibly corrupted when certain factions or armies get destroyed. The first bug causes the game to crash the turn that any army borrowed via the Allegience system gets destroyed, even if you stopped borrowing it 20 turns ago. The second bug sometimes causes saved games to get corrupted when certain factions are destroyed; the game runs fine initially, but reloading any game saved after that point, even autosaves, will cause the game to crash when the turn is ended. Both of these have persisted through two major patches. Nakai the Wanderer was hit with a nasty one in Update 3.10, namely regarding his recruitment pools. By some oversight, several units were accidentally removed from his Horde buildings' recruitment unlocks, making Nakai completely unable to recruit them. Most notable of the missing units are Kroxigors, Nakai's primary unit, which borderline cripples his campaign because it makes all his skills and research focused around buffing them almost completely worthless since he can't recruit any more than the three units of them he starts with.

This is a major reason why its inhabitants are so hardy and formidable, but even they are challenged by the especially grim circumstances at the beginning of Kislevâ€™s campaign. With the Bear God Ursun missing, they have been subjected to an endless winter that makes them more vulnerable to Chaos invasions and internal strife.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_36ed3e1e	comment	Ascended Meme: The Trial by Fire trailer starts with but a single word: Kislev. This was a meme in the fandom due to it being one of the only things Kislev would say in the diplomacy of earlier games until other dialogue was patched in. Similarly, the Kislev roster reveal ends with just Kislev as well. The frequent slaughter of High Elves in Warhammer II trailers became so memetic that even their own faction trailer showed them getting killed in droves. In the Realm of Chaos campaign, the High Elves make a grand total of two appearances — One is a cinematic where they're shown being butchered by daemons during the Great Catastrophe, and the other is a quest battle where they get slaughtered by N'Kari. A trailer for the Immortal Empires feature ended with Karl Franz's oft-quoted declaration "Summon the Elector Counts!"

While it is true that several ranged units (such as the Crane Gunners, Iron Hail Gunners and Sky Fleet crew) are all-female, many other ranged and melee units in the Cathayan roster are actually mixed-gender. The in-universe lore does state, however, that Cathayan girls are especially encouraged to learn archery in order to emulate the Moon Empress. Kislev also zigzags this, as the all-female Ice Guard are primarily archers but can also be quite vicious in melee, while the only pure melee units in Kislev's ranks are the male Tzar Guard. Every other infantry unit is a hybrid that both shoots and fights.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: Nurgle's faction is unlike anything seen in a Total War faction to date, with self-upgrading buildings that operate in cycles and each cycle adding a unit to a global recruitment pool, which can then be recruited from anywhere in a damaged state. They start out able to recruit a small number of low-tier units that are barely able to fill a full army at a time when other factions might be running around with multiple armies, but as time goes on, technology gets researched, and Nurgle's forces slowly expand, this eventually ramps up into a machine that can recruit any unit anywhere in prodigious numbers, wait a single turn to replenish, then march into battle, replacing any losses on the march without ever having to stop and simply drowning enemies in an unending tide of Nurglings. Further, not being reliant on recruitment buildings means destroying their high-tier settlements, normally fatal to any faction since it cuts off their access to their best units, is merely annoying to Nurgle's forces since they can still recruit the high-tier units they already have pooled and their late-game Growth rate is so absurdly high that they can replace Tier 5 settlements pretty quickly.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6	comment	Enemy Mine: One of Kislevâ€™s main campaign mechanics revolves around the political rivalry between Katarin (leader of the ancient and mysterious Ice Court) and Kostaltyn (leader of the relatively new but powerful Great Orthodoxy). While both of them want to save Ursun and defend Kislev, Kostaltyn sees Katarinâ€™s magic as heresy and she in turn brooks no opposition to her rule. They are both caught in a race for supporters that would allow them to confederate the other party.

Slaaneshâ€™s Marauders have arms that have turned into giant Power Pincers, while the Forsaken are barely-sentient berserkers that have spikes, extra eyes and tentacles poking through their armor. Perhaps the gameâ€™s most important example is the Daemon Prince, a former prince of Kislev who was transformed into a massive, winged monster after betraying his god.

The developers even joked that not even Greasus' wealth was enough to change this. While Ku'gath Plaguefather still has his palanquin carried by Nurglings, it has been redesigned as a more simplistic circular dais carried by six Nurglings rather than being a makeshift chair carried by hundreds of Nurglings for the same reason.

But the level and frequency in which it does this is simply unbelievable and is not singularly based on which difficulty the player picked, but also how much they've extended, how many armies they have, etc... Most egregious is the fact that the Realm of Tzeentch work entirely differently for the player than it does the AI. The player has to navigate the maze and trying to find the right portal, the AI... doesn't. It picks portals at random, and the fifth one it goes through will automatically drop them on the final island.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: As usual, there are the units the players can recruit in any amount they can afford, even if, in-lore, they are supposed to be rare. It makes sense for Khorne to make Skarbrand compete in his challenges. It also makes sense for Tzeentch, a god who screws over his own followers almost as much as he does his enemies, to have Kairos navigate his maze. But there is little reason for Ku'Gath and N'Kari (Greater Daemons who are favoured by their respective gods) to take part in their mastersâ€™ challenges. At launch, the greater daemons were also vulnerable to gaining negative traits from their native realms, but this was fortunately rectified by Patch 1.1. At launch, the reward for completing the campaign story was Be'lakor as a Unique Lord for your faction for the rest of that campaign. While this makes varying amounts of sense for the Daemons of Chaos, there are few reasons Cathay would willingly let such a powerful Daemon Prince be in their ranks, and none that would justify Kislev utilizing the very daemon who imprisoned and murdered their main god. This was eventually patched to be an optional choice, with the alternative being to banish Be'lakor for some campaign boons. Daemon factions are still allowed to recruit Soul Grinders throughout the later stages of the campaign, despite the fact that Bel'akor is control of the Forge of Souls where the Soul Grinders are canonically created. Furthermore: they're allowed to be used during the final assault on it, despite the fact that, in the lore, part of becoming a Soul Grinder involves a magically-enforced obligation to stand in the defense of the Forge no matter who is attacking it, including their patron gods. Despite being a Daemon Prince, Be'lakor's Realm of Chaos campaign incarnation can still suffer attrition damage from Chaos corruption and visiting the Chaos Wastes. Being a bloodthirsty War God, Khorne only accepts skulls that were taken in battle (whether it was a fair battle or not, however, is irrelevant). Despite that, Khorne factions have the ability to collect skull piles at the sites of battles they didn't take part in. The Realm of Slaanesh is meant to present temptations few could resist to stop the invaders from reaching the centre of its Circles of Hell, since if you take any of the temptations you get forced to leave and cannot return to claim the Slaanesh Demon Prince's soul until the next time the rifts open. However, while the in-game bonuses on offer are certainly nice, falling behind on the race for Demon Prince souls means losing the entire game so players will likely not find it hard to resist at all. At one point during the Realm of Chaos campaign the Advisor notes that it would be easier if the entrance to the Forge of Souls could be opened by any old daemon's soul but they require the formerly mortal souls of Daemon Princes and they need to be completely devoted to one god so the playable Daemon Prince is out, hence the dangerous expeditions into the Chaos Realms. However rogue armies can spawn led by Daemon Princes and devoted to one god and with the Champions of Chaos add-on there are also Valkia and Azazel leading major factions, Daemon Princes of Khorne and Slaanesh respectively. No explanation is given as to why they won't do. The Ogre Kingdoms get meat from defeated enemies, regardless of who they are. Fair enough, they're not picky eaters. However they can also somehow do this with the non-biological daemons and, in Immortal Empires, the entirely fleshless Tomb Kings. They can also eat defeated Nurgle armies to no ill effect from the diseased flesh. In-lore the Chaos Dwarfs kill Skaven outright, seeing them as too scheming and untrustworthy to be worth taking as laborers in a twisted form of Villain Respect. Since this would make fighting and raiding Skaven much less rewarding, this isn't represented in-game. In fact, with their huge numbers, Skaven can be some of the more lucrative targets of slave-raids.

Here, they're finally on-screen and fully playable. Ku'gath Plaguefather never had a miniature despite being a playable character in the 8th Edition Daemons of Chaos Army Book (though he did have a corresponding illustration). Now he makes his first proper appearance. Similarly, N'Kari never had a miniature, but he was heavily alluded to in the endings of multiple campaigns in the second game. Now he makes his first full-on playable appearance in any Warhammer media (with his appearance being based off the one illustration of him fighting Aenarion). Cathay was only mentioned in supplementary material related to Warhammer as well as brief mentions in the first two games. Now they are playable for the first time in franchise history with their own Legendary Lords, Heroes and units no less. Of particular note within the Cathayan roster are the Celestial Lions. These were originally mentioned in a minor lore snippet in the 8th Edition Core Rulebook as some of the denizens of Ind that the Everqueen and her entourage must face whenever they venture to the Tower of the Sun every decade and did not have any association with Cathay, but were eventually added to their roster in a later update. As part of the Adaptational Expansion Kislev and Cathay have received, several new characters for both factions have been introduced in passing before eventually being introduced in DLC. For example, the Shadows of Change DLC adds Mother Ostyankanote Technically not a new character due to being a case of Reimagining the Artifact for an existing minor character and Naryska Leysa for Kislev and Yuan Bo to Cathay, all of whom were new characters first introduced in promotional and in-game lore material.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_7453bc5b	comment	Spared by the Adaptation: Zig-Zagged with Boris Ursus. According to the lore of Warhammer's 6th Edition, he died in Troll Country while fighting off a Kurgan invasion. In Total War: Warhammer III, however, he was encased in ice by the Motherland itself and can be brought back to life as a bonus Legendary Lord during Katarin and Kostaltynâ€™s campaigns. Though it is worth noting that the Realm of Chaos campaign takes place before the first game's campaign (which itself takes place before Boris's fatal incursion).

Not only can their Lords and Heroes ride bears, they field whole units of bear cavalry and sleds. Meanwhile, Mother Ostyanka and the Hag Witches ride sleighs pulled by the Things in the Woods respectively and elks. Tzarina Katarin and the Ice Witches can ride monstrous Frost Wyrms, and the former has her signature Ice Court Sleigh as her unique mount. The Dragon-blooded of Cathay are able to ride Longma, which are winged draconic horses. Some of their more exotic mounts include the Celestial Lion, a Gryphon-sized winged lion, and the Great Moon Bird, an analogue to the High Elven Phoenixes. The forces of Chaos have many monstrous mounts for both mortals and daemons alike. Khorne has rhino-like daemonic machines called Juggernauts, Tzeentch has Discs of Tzeentch, Nurgle has monstrous toads known as Plague Toads and monstrous Rot Beasts, and Slaanesh has Steeds of Slaanesh. The Ogres have multiple monstrous examples, ranging from Mournfangs to Stonehorns. Chaos Dwarf Lords and Heroes are able to ride either the monstrous winged Great and Bale Tauri or the Lamassu.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_918ef79f	comment	Our Mages Are Different: As with the last two games, there are plenty more Lores of Magic being introduced into the game for the new factions to toy around with: The Kislevites, living in a land of biting cold and furious storms, have managed to master the Lore of Ice and the Lore of Tempest. With the Lore of Ice, the witches can not only freeze their foes to death or slow them down, but can also use that very same ice to empower the weapons of their allies. The Lore of Tempest, wile not as cold as the Lore of Ice, makes up for it by bringing along intense winds, hellish hail and biting blizzards, all wile keeping the same winds against the backs of your soldiers. They also have a third lore, the Lore of the Hag, which is naturally associated with Mother Ostyanka and the Hag Witches. Like the Ice Witches, this lore draws from the land of Kislev itself, specifically its woodlands, fens and oblasts, to confound and bewitch their enemies with various curses and hexes. Uniquely, when spells from this lore are overcast, they instead become blessings that can augment friendly forces. The Cathayans, after being taught for millennia by the dragons that rule over their land, have developed the Lore of Yin and the Lore of Yang. The Lore of Yin utilizes the darker, stealthier and colder parts of the different lores wile the Lore of Yang utilizes the brighter, extravagant and hotter parts of the different lores, all to ensure harmony. It is the closest thing that most humans will ever get to casting High or Dark magic without burning their soul out. The Ogres, thanks to the influence of The Great Maw, managed to develop a lore of magic known as the Lore of The Great Maw, a brutish form of sorcery that utilizes food that the Butchers and Slaughtermasters devour on the field in order to cast spells based on their meals. This includes munching down on troll guts to heal, chewing on granite to get hardier or eating brains to fill the foe with the victimâ€™s nightmares. The Lore of Tzeentch is a highly destructive and unstable form of Entropy and Chaos Magic that only the most magically adept (and insane) followers of Chaos can perform with even a small chance of safety. None of these spells will buff or support your own units as they are fully geared towards destroying the foe in ways perfectly suited for the God of Magic. The Lore of Slaanesh is quite the fitting collection of spells for an army where you will have a hard time finding anyone who isn't a Combat Sadomasochist. The spellcasters ensure that both sides feel as much pain and pleasure as possible through a myriad of twisted spells, driving the deranged mortals and daemons further into macabre acts of violence wile the enemy is too distracted by euphoria or suffering to properly fight back. The Lore of Nurgle is all about forcing your foes to suffer from one Mystical Plague after the other, rotting them apart while your own bloated troops will find themselves invigorated and motivated by those very same diseases that they keep on spreading through the battlefield. The Chaos Dwarfs bring along the Lore of Hashut, a cross between Lava Adds Awesome and Evil Is Burning Hot that they learned thanks to the blessings of their new dark god of fire and tyranny. Using metals, flames and darkness, this lore of magic will cause immense harm to ones foes wile also making them even more vulnerable to the burning attacks of the Dawi-Zharr. And unlike the regular Lore of Fire or Metal, there are no supportive spells for your troops here, as to be expected from Hashut. Only carnage and despair for your enemies.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_925b2abb	comment	Kislev: A Brute/Ranger/Unit Specialist faction. The Kislevite roster has two specialties: Hybrid melee/missile infantry and powerful cavalry. Almost all of their infantry (excluding the elite Tzar Guard) possess both melee and ranged weapons, allowing them to whittle their opponents down with missiles before charging into close combat; as a result, their missile units tend to have much more armor and are thus more survivable than those of most factions (barring the High Elves and Cathayans). Their cavalry roster is also diverse, ranging from Horse Archers to powerful bear cavalry and sleds. Kislevite cavalry excel upon the charge and cause fear, but as a trade-off, they tend to be less armored than their Imperial and Bretonnian counterparts. Several of their units also have the Frostbite ability, allowing them to slow down enemy units in combat. Unlike their fellow human factions, they have no flying units to speak of.

Missile units that are docked against walls will simply not fire on enemies within range, forcing players to avoid using them. For some reason, missile units will keep shuffling instead of firing despite having an unobstructed line of fire. Pathfinding issues will result in units getting snagged and bunched up against corners. Units are much slower to respond to commands and even turning around to run in the opposite direction.

The Slaaneshi roster emphasizes speed, armour piercing and poison attacks, and relies on chariots, cavalry and generally fast moving units such as Hellstriders, Hellflayers, and Fiends of Slaanesh, some of which gain significant bonus damage from flanking attacks due to having the Devastating Flanker attribute. However, their Crippling Overspecialization leaves their roster without units with strong staying power, and they have almost no way to deal with flying units as none of their units have ranged attacks outside of spells and they have no flying units outside of Furies, which are merely Cannon Fodder. Slaanesh also relies on debuffing spells and abilities to weaken their enemies, and gain bonuses and abilities from killing routing units. On the campaign map Slaanesh focuses on creating vassals, debuffing opposing factions through Hero actions, as well as seducing enemy units into switching sides for the duration of battles, making them a faction focused on undermining other factions.

AI factions will rarely confederate if they feel safe, so the best way to secure a confederation is to actively undermine and sabotage them in ways that don't damage your relations. Preferred tactics for this include 'borrowing' their armies and intentionally getting them killed and securing a military alliance then declaring war on their neighbors, and even then you may have to threaten them into accepting the confederation.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_a65288e2	comment	An odd example with generic characters for the Daemons of Chaos (Greater Daemons and Heralds). On the tabletop game, Heralds were Hero-level characters for the Daemons of Chaos. In the game, they have been promoted to Lord-level characters, while their Hero spot have been filled by the unit champions for lesser Daemon units. This qualifies as both groups are both drawn from the ranks of the lesser Daemons (e.g., both the Herald of Khorne and Bloodreaper are both elite Bloodletters of Khorne). Meanwhile, Greater Daemons have been split into a Lord-level variant (the Exalted version) and a generic non-hero single entity variant, allowing for players to have entire armies of Greater Daemons. As it turns out, the reason for this change was because rather than being recruited like regular Lords, Greater Daemon Lords are instead promoted from Heralds.

These can be used by playable factions to travel to any of the four Chaos Godsâ€™ domains. Alternatively, Chaos Rifts can be used to teleport to another part of the campaign map. They can also be closed in two ways: by defeating a Daemonic army that spawns upon choosing the option, or by using a Hero action. Leaving them open for too long will allow Daemonic agents and armies to pour into the mortal world. In the Champions of Chaos campaign, the unstable rifts have closed in the aftermath of the main campaign. However, the four playable champions are able to re-open them as stable gateways through rituals powered by harvesting mortal souls.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79	comment	A Commander Is You: As with the previous two games, each faction is wildly different from one another. Kislev: A Brute/Ranger/Unit Specialist faction. The Kislevite roster has two specialties: Hybrid melee/missile infantry and powerful cavalry. Almost all of their infantry (excluding the elite Tzar Guard) possess both melee and ranged weapons, allowing them to whittle their opponents down with missiles before charging into close combat; as a result, their missile units tend to have much more armor and are thus more survivable than those of most factions (barring the High Elves and Cathayans). Their cavalry roster is also diverse, ranging from Horse Archers to powerful bear cavalry and sleds. Kislevite cavalry excel upon the charge and cause fear, but as a trade-off, they tend to be less armored than their Imperial and Bretonnian counterparts. Several of their units also have the Frostbite ability, allowing them to slow down enemy units in combat. Unlike their fellow human factions, they have no flying units to speak of. Cathay: A Turtle/Ranger faction. The Cathayan roster focuses on defense with special buffs for their ranged and melee units, which results in them having superior ranged firepower and an excellent and survivable frontline consisting of a diverse array of armored melee and ranged infantry. That said, Cathayans tend to be slow-moving and easy to flank, which is not helped by the fact they have the worst cavalry out of all the human factions. They more than make up for these disadvantages through their flying machines, artillery, and dragon sorcerers. Khorne: An Elitist/Brute faction. The Khornate roster focuses on powerful, heavily armored troops that charge into the heat of combat and slowly get even more powerful the more casualties they inflict. They have access to powerhouse units such as Skullcrushers, Bloodthirsters, and Khornebulls that excel at breaking the enemy lines with their charge. As a trade-off, Khorne is the only faction in the game without access to magic and has limited ranged options such as Skull Cannons. Tzeentch: A Technical/Ranger faction. The Tzeentchian roster is made up of several weaker troops that rely on ranged attacks, offensive spells (with the Lore of Tzeentch being entirely damage or debuff spells) or hit and run tactics to do damage. Out of all the monogod factions, they have the best ranged capabilities, and they have the potential to be the most magically adept faction in the game as they can upgrade their Lords of Change (both as Lords and single entity monsters) to wield a wide range of spells from different lores of magic, allowing for whole armies of spellcasters without resorting to Hero spam. All Tzeentch units come with Barrier, a damage shield that recovers when a unit is not engaged in combat, emphasizing a hit and run style of play. Their roster has few units with staying power, relying on Forsaken to hold the line. In their place there are several fast flying units, such as Doom Knights, Screamers of Tzeentch, and Burning Chariots, which can perform fast, damaging hit and run, or bombard enemy lines with ranged firepower. Nurgle: A Brute/Technical/Unconventional faction. The Nurglish roster relies on slow-moving but extremely resilient units that whittle down their enemies through spreading diseases, such as Pox Riders, Beasts of Nurgle, and Great Unclean Ones. On the campaign map, Nurgle plays less like a traditional faction and more like a gradually spreading infestation. Their buildings are not manually upgraded but instead evolve over time into higher tiers of infrastructure, and they do not summon their forces at full strength but instead have them grow to their full strength over time after being summoned. They also have access to the Plague Cauldron which allows them to concoct different sorts of Mystical Plagues that ravage their enemies while growing their own forces. Slaanesh: A Guerrilla/Technical/Espionage faction. The Slaaneshi roster emphasizes speed, armour piercing and poison attacks, and relies on chariots, cavalry and generally fast moving units such as Hellstriders, Hellflayers, and Fiends of Slaanesh, some of which gain significant bonus damage from flanking attacks due to having the Devastating Flanker attribute. However, their Crippling Overspecialization leaves their roster without units with strong staying power, and they have almost no way to deal with flying units as none of their units have ranged attacks outside of spells and they have no flying units outside of Furies, which are merely Cannon Fodder. Slaanesh also relies on debuffing spells and abilities to weaken their enemies, and gain bonuses and abilities from killing routing units. On the campaign map Slaanesh focuses on creating vassals, debuffing opposing factions through Hero actions, as well as seducing enemy units into switching sides for the duration of battles, making them a faction focused on undermining other factions. Daemons of Chaos: A Generalist/Unconventional/Elitist faction. The Daemons of Chaos faction combines the daemon units of all four Chaos Gods above into one army led by a Daemon Prince, allowing for a mix and match of different units from the different factions to cover all bases. However, they have only access to daemon units, and not some of the cheaper generic mortal units available to each individual faction. On the campaign map, the Daemons of Chaos focuses on devoting captured settlements to the four Chaos Gods or Chaos Undivided, and customizing their legendary lord, the Daemon Prince, to fit each situation. They do however lose out on the unique and powerful campaign abilities of the individual Chaos God focused factions in place of adaptability. Ogre Kingdoms: A Brute/Elitist/Unit Specialist faction. Almost all Ogre Kingdoms units are of monstrous size barring the Gnoblars (who exist only as Cannon Fodder), and are extremely devastating on the charge. Though they have limited ranged options, those that they do have such as Leadbelchers and Ironblasters can do monstrous damage to any enemy battle line at the expense of having more limited ammunition. However, Ogre Kingdoms units are limited in terms of model count and so can be overwhelmed by more numerous enemies if improperly used. Chaos Dwarfs: An Elitist/Economist/Industrial/Ranger faction. The Chaos Dwarfs boast heavily armored units with powerful ranged capabilities, including some of the strongest war machines in the game such as the Iron Daemon and Dreadquake Mortar. They also possess powerful monstrous units such as Bull Centaurs, Bale Tauri, and K'daai Destroyers. However, just like their uncorrupted cousins Chaos Dwarf units are expensive and limited in number, and other than Greenskin slaves and Hobgoblins serving as Cannon Fodder they lack reliable mid-tier options. Their campaign mechanics are extremely intricate with a heavy focus around resource management and industrial development evocative of a Paradox Interactive game.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Greasus Goldtooth's appearance looks like a cross between his original model and Fat Bastard, a resemblance that was noted almost immediately. A developer blog states that Skrag the Slaughterer's in-game portrayal is heavily influenced by Rorschach from Watchmen, complete with him paraphrasing Rorschach's "You're locked up in here with me" Signature Line during his Quest Battle. One of the events for Ogre Kingdoms is about finding a valley with diminutive multi-colored horses with big eyes, giving the finder's army food. The title of the event is My Tiny Horse. One of the army skills for Slaaneshi daemon lords, and one of N'kari's voiced diplomacy quotes, is "We have such sights to show you". The achievement for evolving a Herald of Tzeentch into an Exalted Lord of Change is "Change Up", referencing the "Bird Up!" skit from The Eric Andre Show. The name for one of N'Kari's quests where he has to occupy the Fortress of the Damned is "Peace through Tyranny." The achievement for unlocking all of the Changing of the Ways actions as Tzeentch is Face the Strange. The trait gained for defeating Zhao Ming is Merciless to Ming. Defeating Boris Urus, the Red Tzar, earns the trait Red Dead. When Festus the Leechlord gets the opportunity to fight his quest battle, he quips, "All work and no play makes Festus a dull doctor." A Lord of the Top Knotz faction is named Luggn Nine-Fingaz, certainly after The First Law's Logen Ninefingers. If a Daemon Prince is ordered to attack, he will shout, "Wipe them out! All of them!" Continuing the trend of CA putting movie references in trailers, one of the scenes in the Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs trailer has the Infernal Guard lined up in front of Drazhoath the Ashen, homaging the Sardaukar scene from Dune (2021). Astragoth Ironhand's quest battle requires him to protect a convoy attacked by Da Wild Bunch, whose leaders names may seem familiar. Mother Ostankya's skills include the quotes "Not all who wander are lost," and "You best start believing in fairy tales, 'cus you're in one!" The descriptions of the Changeling's skills include "You know, I'm something of a wizard myself," and "I put on my robe and wizard guise." Another of his skills is named "I'm you, but better."

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_cb3adcb7	comment	The Kislevites, living in a land of biting cold and furious storms, have managed to master the Lore of Ice and the Lore of Tempest. With the Lore of Ice, the witches can not only freeze their foes to death or slow them down, but can also use that very same ice to empower the weapons of their allies. The Lore of Tempest, wile not as cold as the Lore of Ice, makes up for it by bringing along intense winds, hellish hail and biting blizzards, all wile keeping the same winds against the backs of your soldiers. They also have a third lore, the Lore of the Hag, which is naturally associated with Mother Ostyanka and the Hag Witches. Like the Ice Witches, this lore draws from the land of Kislev itself, specifically its woodlands, fens and oblasts, to confound and bewitch their enemies with various curses and hexes. Uniquely, when spells from this lore are overcast, they instead become blessings that can augment friendly forces.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: The Diplomacy pane now includes much more information so you can see what deals factions will take or determine why they might not want a particular deal, and includes buttons to automatically balance the scales with money to get a specified result, assuming you have enough. This removes a lot of the pointless fiddling that made diplomacy such a headache in the previous two games. Taking a cue from one of the most popular mods for the second game, you can now buy, sell, and trade settlements with neighboring factions via Diplomacy. You can now move in Encampment stance with a 50% movement range reduction, removing the need to use 50% of your movement manually before encamping. This also lets you move through friendly territory that causes attrition without having to either suffer the attrition or raid your own ally. Update 1.1.0 modified the "Protection" building (normally used to mitigate public order loss from corruption and detect skaven undercities) to also suppress the emergence of rifts in the local province, allowing the player to more easily protect their territory from raids through the portals without having to waste time and resources closing them manually.

This trope is also true in a sense for the Grand Cathay campaign â€” while the Dragons traditionally do not have a liking for gods, they have decided to save Ursun because he knows the whereabouts of their missing younger sister. The Kislevites get another rescue arc halfway through their campaign: if they manage to control the cities of Kislev, Praag and Erengrad for ten consecutive turns, they get the opportunity to save their greatest Tzar, Boris Ursus, from the forces of Chaos and bring him back to life.

All of them, including the Cathayan Legendary Lords, can freely switch between human and dragon forms in battle. As Cathay is a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Imperial China, they are all of course Eastern dragons. Kislev has Frost Wyrms, monstrous flightless serpents attuned to Ice Magic that the Ice Witches are not only able to summon in times of war, but can ride into battle as mounts. Nurgle has Toad Dragons, mutated dragons that resemble gigantic scaled amphibians. One of these, Buebolos, serves as the mount for Tamurkhan.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_de70f5a4	comment	Continuity Cameo: In Immortal Empires, a few Legendary Lords begin the campaign accompanied by a Hero Unit with a unique name and trait, based on minor characters from the lore or the Lord's own backstory: Festus the Leechlord starts with an Exalted Hero of Nurgle named Samuel Ludenhof. In the lore, one of Festus' more infamous deeds was corrupting the ailing son of the Elector Count of Hochland (who Festus starts at war with in the campaign). Samuel's unique trait, "Mutant Betrayer", provides a diplomatic penalty with the Empire, and increases his melee attack stat and provides Fear while fighting human armies. Valkia the Bloody starts with an Exalted Hero named Kormak. A member of the Schwarzvolf tribe and Valkia's most fanatical follower, he lost his arm to a creature of the Chaos Wastes during Valkia's search for a gateway to the Realm of Khorne, and eventually died alongside his chieftess within eyesight of the portal. Kormak's unique trait, "Reforged for the Gorequeen", halves the cost to convert him into an Exalted Hero of Khorne, and references how he was brought Back from the Dead by Valkia after her ascension. Archaon the Everchosen has an Exalted Hero named Prince Ograx, a beastman-turned-human who accompanied him on his quest to become the Everchosen. Here, he's Spared by the Adaptation, as in the original lore Archaon had sacrificed Ograx to claim the Slayer of Kings. His unique trait, "The Great", increases his weapon strength by 15% and provides a moderate anti-large damage bonus. Malagor the Dark Omen has a Gorebull named Kha'Rak Stoneheart, a minor character from the 7th edition Beastmen army book. Kha'Rak was the victim of a botched Grand Theft Me by an enterprising bray-shaman, who he promptly killed in retribution. This led to the two creatures Sharing a Body, and Kha'Rak's unique trait "Two-in-One" allows him to cast Viletide from the Lore of the Wild. Tiktaq'to has Itzi-Bitzi the Skink Chief, from the 5th edition Lizardmen army book. A commander of Tlaxtlan, Itzi-Bitzi is the only servant of the slann lord Zltep to hear his final words; an unfinished prophecy that fortells the ultimate doom of the enemies of the Lizardmen. Called the "Incantation of Xetlipocutzl", the fragment of prophecy is a Supernatural Fear Inducer that passively reduces the leadership of enemy armies in the local region. Settra the Imperishable has Prince Nebbetthar, a Tomb Prince and former captain of a regiment of renown from The End Times. His unique trait, "Captain of the Royal Chariot Guard", predictably buffs skeleton chariots and increases their unit capacity.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb	comment	Guns Are Worthless: ZigZagged. Gunpowder infantry are generally a step up from archers and crossbows because they deal primarily Armour-Piercing damage and have a much higher projectile speed making them ideal for picking off small, or erratically fast moving targets. However, their main weakness is they need direct line of sight on their target that even small shift in elevation can cause a unit of Handgunners to refuse to fire. In the campaign, they'll eventually get outclassed by elite archer and crossbow units like Sisters of Avelorn, Waywatchers, Shades, and Celestial Dragon Crossbowmen who can all deal Armour-Piercing damage without the drawback of needing line of sight, and they often have longer ranges as well. Despite this, the speed of gunpowder projectiles still makes them better for shooting down small fast-moving targets like mounted lords and heroes or flying monsters.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_ed72657e	comment	The forces of Chaos have many monstrous mounts for both mortals and daemons alike. Khorne has rhino-like daemonic machines called Juggernauts, Tzeentch has Discs of Tzeentch, Nurgle has monstrous toads known as Plague Toads and monstrous Rot Beasts, and Slaanesh has Steeds of Slaanesh.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_ef43c232	comment	Downloadable Content: Like the last two games, there is DLC aplenty. Notably, the DLC format wound up shifting quite a bit with the Lord Packs of the previous two games being reworked into far more comprehensive packs that cover three to four factions at once. For FLC: Immortal Empires, Ulrika Magdova, Harald Hammerstorm, Aekold Helbrass, Epidemius. For DLC: Blood for the Blood God 3.0, Ogre Kingdoms, Champions of Chaos, Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, Shadows of Change, Thrones of Decay.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_f0508c08	type	Decomposite Character
Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_f0508c08	comment	Decomposite Character: Zig-zagged with the Daemons of Chaos. While there is a base Daemons of Chaos faction, the four Chaos Gods have been given their own separate factions as well that combine both Daemons and Mortals (in a similar fashion to Age of Sigmar). The Immortal Empires and Champions of Chaos DLCs further blur the lines, with Marked Mortals such as Sigvald and Valkia being in specialized Warriors of Chaos subfactions in the campaign that can recruit Daemon units from their patron gods, but being also playable in Monogod rosters in Custom Battle and Multiplayer. Even Be'lakor leads a Warriors of Chaos subfaction rather than a Daemons of Chaos subfaction on the Immortal Empires campaign, though his faction can recruit Daemon units from all of the gods. An odd example with generic characters for the Daemons of Chaos (Greater Daemons and Heralds). On the tabletop game, Heralds were Hero-level characters for the Daemons of Chaos. In the game, they have been promoted to Lord-level characters, while their Hero spot have been filled by the unit champions for lesser Daemon units. This qualifies as both groups are both drawn from the ranks of the lesser Daemons (e.g., both the Herald of Khorne and Bloodreaper are both elite Bloodletters of Khorne). Meanwhile, Greater Daemons have been split into a Lord-level variant (the Exalted version) and a generic non-hero single entity variant, allowing for players to have entire armies of Greater Daemons. As it turns out, the reason for this change was because rather than being recruited like regular Lords, Greater Daemon Lords are instead promoted from Heralds. In the tabletop, Mournfang Cavalry were ridden by Ironguts. Here, they are ridden by Bulls while the role of Irongut Cavalry has been given to Rhinox Riders/Crushers.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_f52cc7b8	comment	The Lore of Tzeentch is a highly destructive and unstable form of Entropy and Chaos Magic that only the most magically adept (and insane) followers of Chaos can perform with even a small chance of safety. None of these spells will buff or support your own units as they are fully geared towards destroying the foe in ways perfectly suited for the God of Magic.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_f6ca5b54	comment	The Archmage: Tzarina Katarin is often noted to be the most powerful Ice Witch alive, with rumors stating that she is the reincarnation of Khan-Queen Miska (the first and most adept wielder of Ice Magic). Although they are not playable, the Celestial Dragon Emperor and Moon Empress devised their own understanding of the Winds of Magic long ago and created the Lores of Yin and Yang from it. They then taught their children and generations of human mages in the arts of the arcane. In particular, the Dragon Emperor favors the Lore of the Heavens and is responsible for establishing his Astromancers as the most sanctioned mages in Cathay. Due to spending some time in the Well of Eternity, Kairos Fateweaver is the greatest spellcaster in an entire faction of Evil Sorcerers. He has the unique ability to customize his spell list with fragments of all eight magical lores.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_f88f2449	comment	Downer Beginning: Of all the playable factions in the game, Kislev starts its campaign in the most dire straits. On top of a civil war brewing between the Great Orthodoxy and Katarinâ€™s court (both of whom are struggling to inherit the legacy of Tzar Boris Ursus), the nation is suffering from an Endless Winter because its patron god Ursun has been captured and mortally wounded by one of their own. Thankfully, players can solve all of these problems throughout the course of the Kislev campaign by unifying the warring factions and bringing Ursun and Tzar Boris back to life.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_fc2f4def	comment	Non-Indicative Difficulty: In the Immortal Empires campaign, Karl Franz's campaign is labelled as being good for beginners. And while it is true that The Empire's campaign mechanics and units themselves are relatively uncomplicated for newcomers to grasp, what the tooltip fails to warn about is that Karl starts surrounded by, and will be quickly at war with any combination of, the following: Khazrak the One-Eye, Festus the Leechlord, Vlad Von Carstein, Drycha, Durthu, Be'lakor, The Changeling and Wulfrik the Wanderer. When left to fend for himself, Karl is likely to be wiped out before even turn forty.

His spawn position north of Cathay darkly references the fact one of his origin stories in 40k is a Historical Villain Upgrade of Genghis Khan.

Total War: Warhammer III (Video Game) / int_fe262584	comment	Cutscene Power to the Max: In the Enter the World of Khorne trailer, Skarbrand is erroneously depicted as taking flight at the very end. In the game, Skarbrand is neither flight-capable or even able to jump all that high in combat. In the Dawn of Grand Cathay cinematic trailer, Kairos Fateweaver easily obliterates chunks of the Great Bastion's defenders using the spells Blue Fire of Tzeentch and Pink Fire of Tzeentch, neither of which are powerful enough in the game proper to be one-shotting single-entity units like Alchemist heroes, Sky Junks and Terracotta Sentinels. Blue Fire, in particular, is depicted as scattering its projectiles to hit multiple different targets, while in the game Blue Fire only homes in on a single victim.
