Upon the release of the latest free update for Total War: Warhammer 3, players have been introduced to Epidemius, the Proctor of Pestilence. This new Nurgle Legendary Lord brings a fresh dynamic to the game, rewarding players based on the number of diseases they spread to other factions. The concept of gaining buffs based on spreading diseases adds a strategic element that players may find both challenging and rewarding.
Epidemius’ abilities are intricately linked to the ebb and flow of disease within the game. With his Tally of Pestilence tracking the spread of diseases to non-Nurgle armies and settlements, players must navigate the shifting landscape of infection to maximize bonuses. Additionally, Epidemius offers specific buffs such as increased campaign movement for plague cultists, higher recruitment rank for plaguebearers, and quicker cycle time for Plagueflesh Poppies. In battle, Epidemius serves as a support specialist, utilizing summoning passives and regenerating health when facing enemies with a plague.
Introducing the Gold Wizard Hero
Alongside Epidemius, the update also brings a new hero to the game – the Gold Wizard. This flashy sorcerer adds a touch of bling to the battlefield, with the ability to transmute weapons and armor of allies and foes alike. The Gold Wizard comes equipped with powerful items such as the Armor of Tarnus, providing a ward save during spellcasting, and the Gold Standard, which grants invulnerability to a single unit. However, players must also be wary of the Crown of Nemesis, a potent artifact that bestows immense power at the cost of diplomatic penalties with all factions.
Thrones of Decay DLC
Total War: Warhammer 3’s latest update coincides with the release of the paid Thrones of Decay DLC, featuring three additional factions that can be purchased individually or as a package. While the focus is primarily on the new content introduced in the free update, players have the option to further expand their gameplay experience with the paid DLC. Among the new factions, the Dwarf boss Malakai and his impressive airship have caught the eye of many players, offering a fresh perspective on strategic gameplay.
The latest update for Total War: Warhammer 3 has brought significant changes and additions to the game, offering players new challenges and opportunities to explore. With the introduction of Epidemius, the Gold Wizard hero, and the Thrones of Decay DLC, players can look forward to engaging in battles that are more dynamic and strategic than ever before. As the game continues to evolve, it is evident that Creative Assembly is committed to keeping the Total War: Warhammer series fresh and engaging for both new and seasoned players alike.
