Warhammer latest patch notes

The recharge contexts and recharge times are also displayed in the tooltips for Active Abilities as well. This is a change that exposes more information to players using these abilities, that we hope will aid in tactical decision making.

The way active and recharging abilities were displayed in the past was fairly unintuitive, so we have changed this behaviour.

Abilities had either a red or green ring around the icon when they were active based on if they had negative debuff effects red or positive buff effects green. Also the way that the shaded radial timer on the ability icon displayed the same regardless of whether the ability was active or recharging. All in all, it was tricky to figure out whether an ability was recharging at a glance. Now, when an ability is active, it has a green ring around the icon and the shaded radial display on the button fills up.

When an ability is recharging, it will now have a red ring around the icon and the shaded radial display on the button gradually un-fills. This shaded radial and icon ring colour behaviour is now also true for passive abilities that are currently in effect or recharging as well. Our aim was to enable players to quickly tell what abilities are currently active and what is currently recharging, even if they were reading it from a static screenshot of the game.

Achieving this before was a lot trickier, but now the interaction is easier to follow. Precursor missile weapons have been improved. Although this only applies to the Chameleon Stalkers unit right now, we thought it would be worth mentioning what the interactions are, since it is a type of missile weapon that has existed for a while in the database. The Chameleon Stalkers also have a new bullet point on their unit info panel that explains this as well. Here is a quick explanation:.

In WARHAMMER II, chariots have collision volumes that cover each of the three elements that the unit consists of: the draught animals, the articulation point the point at which the chariot bends and the chariot itself. We discovered that the collision volume on the articulation point was typically a lot longer than it needed to be, so when the chariot made a turn, a whole bunch of collision would be sticking out of the side of the unit.

A lot of monstrous units have been moved around into more appropriate categories that make the roster feel a lot more intuitive to access. All of the single entity Lizardmen monsters have their own bespoke Unit Category Icons now, from the mighty Dread Saurian right down to the spiny Razordons.

This way players should be able to tell the difference between these units at a glance. All Spells and Abilities that affect Movement Speed have had their values adjusted.

This affects both positive and negative effects. This change should now make it easier to calculate the speed changes for units on-the-fly during a battle. Speed increases beyond a certain threshold for units do not always increase their speed due to animation limitations and ensuring unit cohesion when moving as a group , so this change brings the number displayed closer to reality of the speed the unit will move at.

This change should now make it easier to calculate changes in damage mitigation for units on-the-fly during a battle. All spells have now been unified to do the following damage:. The Dwarfs have been without a comparable magic system to Spells used by all other races.

The Runic Magic system has been created to bring the Dwarfs into parity with other races while keeping their playstyle unique. Total War. Beastmen reworks : There are too many to call out, but our love and respect goes out to you all! All existing Beastmen lords now lead their own, separate factions on the campaign map. Khazrak now grants Vanguard Deployment to Bestigors and Poison Attacks to Ungors Malagor now uses a hybrid Lore of Magic, and has greatly increased movement range in Beast-Paths stance Morghur grants additional buffs to Chaos Spawn, including the ability to hand them powerful banners.

He now also applies attrition to nearby enemy forces while raiding. When the Grudge bar is full, many Dwarfs will feel shame, and will choose to walk the path of the Slayer When it is low, fewer Dwarfs will feel the need to swear Slayer oaths, and the pool will replenish more slowly. Each Dwarf Legendary Lord begins play with four unique Legendary Grudges in the Dammaz Kron which inform the flow of their campaigns Thorek Ironbrow begins with eight, relating to the artifacts he needs to locate These Grudges have a higher severity rating and add a sense of progression to Grudges Legendary Grudges award considerably more Oathgold than generated Grudges and, in some cases, powerful buffs or unique Master Runes see below.

Ransom captives: Ransoms prisoners for Oathgold Drink to Victory! Province buff Take On Captives: Replenishment. Execute and loot: Oathgold Drink to Victory! Province buff. Grombrinal now begins with a Master Engineer Hero. Thane Heroes now have three new skills:. A large number of new Character Runes and Banner Runes have been added to the game. Each Runecrafting ritual in the Forge can only be performed once, but each ritual will generate three Runes for use across multiple characters.

Master Runes can also be crafted, which produces a single, powerful Rune. However, Banner Runes which benefit units in their army can also be added under the Followers, Runes and Banners pane in the in the character panel. You will also be given a casualties estimate for your forces, indicating how many troops will need to be replenished.

Unit cards that flash red while mousing over the auto-resolve button indicate that they will be wiped out. New technology effects have been added which grant all Skink units Poison Attacks and Vanguard Deployment Most Skink units now have the Quick Learner trait, reducing the amount of XP required for them to gain ranks Several building chain changes: Secondary building requirements removed from several units Saurus are now only available from Tier 2 previously Tier 1 Bastilodons and Terradon Riders are now available at Tier 2 previously Tier 3.

Small reshuffle of Norscan units within the building tree to allow for more unit variety. Here are the details of how it interacts now, based on whether Fire-At-Will is enabled or not:. If Fire-At-Will is enabled, the unit will have more flexibility to skirmish and will automatically attack any unit that is within its missile weapon range 50m for the Stalkers. This means that you can use the unit defensively if you so wish If Fire-At-Will is disabled, the unit will only fire at the target that it is explicitly ordered to attack and will only attack when charging.

The charge distance on Stalkers has been made equal to their missile weapon range, so there will be no disadvantage to being a bit more precise. The Lizardmen roster has undergone a noticeable change this time around. Manticores also have their own unique unit category icon now! Khazrak Razorgor Chariot.
