As the release date approaches for Creative Assembly’s latest free update for Total War: Warhammer 3, players are buzzing with excitement about the new content it will bring. One of the main highlights of the update is the introduction of Epidemius, Proctor of Pestilence, a new Nurgle Legendary Lord. This character gains rewards based on how many diseases the player spreads to other factions, adding a unique and strategic element to the gameplay experience.
New Additions with TWW3 Patch 5
In addition to Epidemius, the update also brings a Gold Wizard hero into the mix. This character, described as a blingier version of Magneto, adds a new layer of depth to the game with their abilities to transmute weapons and armor of both friends and enemies. Alongside the Gold Wizard hero, a cursed crown is introduced that will make all factions hate you. This dynamic element adds a challenging twist to gameplay, forcing players to strategize and adapt to changing diplomatic situations.
According to the announcement post, Epidemius’ potency is directly tied to the constantly shifting ebb and flow of disease in the game. With a Tally of Pestilence that tracks infections in non-Nurgle armies and settlements, players must strategically spread diseases to maximize bonuses for Epidemius. Additionally, Epidemius receives various disease-themed buffs, making him a formidable force in battles. His abilities to regenerate and gain attack boosts when fighting enemies with a plague further solidify his role as a support specialist in the game.
The Gold Wizard Hero and Cursed Crown
Players looking for a more flamboyant character may find solace in the Gold Wizard hero, with their flashy appearance and unique abilities. The Gold Wizard hero’s items, such as the Armor of Tarnus and the Gold Standard, offer additional strategic options for players to explore. On the other hand, the Crown of Nemesis presents a challenging choice for players, as it grants immense power at the cost of worldwide diplomatic penalties with all factions. This decision adds a moral dilemma for players, forcing them to weigh the benefits against the consequences of wielding such power.
Total War: Warhammer 3 will also launch alongside the paid Thrones of Decay DLC, featuring three additional factions that can be purchased as a package or individually. Players have the opportunity to delve deeper into the game with new content and factions, expanding the strategic possibilities and replay value of the game.
The new update for Total War: Warhammer 3 introduces exciting new elements that will surely keep players engaged and challenged. From the introduction of Epidemius and the Gold Wizard hero to the nuanced gameplay mechanics of the cursed crown, players can expect a fresh and dynamic experience with this update. As the release date approaches, the anticipation builds for players eager to dive into the world of Total War: Warhammer 3 and explore all that the game has to offer.
