Hey everyone,


We hope you’ve been revelling in prosperous campaigns so far this year!


Now that we’re already a month into 2024 we just wanted to check in, see how you’re all doing, and to paint you a picture on what you can expect to see from us this month.

 

Total War: WARHAMMER III



The WARHAMMER III team have been hard at work on Update 4.2, which is now in the testing stage and looking awesome. We’re excited to talk more about this update in the coming weeks, and starting at the back end of next week, Game Director Rich Aldridge will be talking more (through the medium of blog) about what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what you can expect from the new content coming in this update! We’ll also be dropping a brand new ebook a little later in the month, titled ‘Things in the Wood’ – any ideas who this one could be about?


Barring anything out of the ordinary, Update 4.2 – bringing all new content to Shadows of Change - will be the next update coming to WARHAMMER III.

 

Total War: PHARAOH



We hope you’ve been having a blast playing as the Sea Peoples in the free High Tide update, and causing the collapse of civilisation in the process! We’re currently working on a hotfix to remedy some bugs that have come to light in the wake of the release, which we’re aiming to rolling out within the next couple of weeks. 


Remember, if you experience any bugs or issues while playing we encourage you to report them here so we can get them logged and investigated.

 

Strategy Gaming Survey



Earlier tonight, our partners at SEGA started to email out to a selection of players, across Total War and other strategy games from the SEGA family, with an invitation to complete a survey. If you have received that email, great! Have a read through what’s been sent to you and know that we’re grateful if you’re able to take the time to fill it out.


If you didn’t, don’t fret! This is part of research that’s designed to investigate what players like, dislike and want to see in strategy games (including Total War), as well as to get a better understanding of who you are, and what you like when it comes to Strategy games.


Research is just one avenue among all the many other sources of feedback that we take in across Total War, each and every day.


Not everyone will receive that email, despite the different opt-ins that you may have selected in the past, but we would love for all and any fans of Total War to get involved.   


Below, you’ll find links to the survey in English, German and Simplified Chinese. The questions cover a wide range of topics and will be helpful to all of us across Total War, so we really appreciate you spending the time filling it in (on average, it takes around 20 minutes to complete). 

 

Some of the questions may seem strange, awkward or difficult to answer, but know that there’s a science to these things that may not always be obvious. Please answer as best you can from the options available. Also, whilst we know that it's fun to speculate why we might be asking some questions, it’s worth remembering that sometimes we’re only asking a question to see what the answer is! ;)

 

English: https://survey-d.yoursurveynow.com/survey/selfserve/53b/2310519?list=3&grp=7

German: https://survey-d.yoursurveynow.com/survey/selfserve/53b/2310519?list=3&grp=7&decLang=german

Simplified Chinese: https://survey-d.yoursurveynow.com/survey/selfserve/53b/2310519?list=3&grp=7&decLang=simplifiedchinese




While all of our teams crack on with what they do best, we’d love to hear how your campaigns are going, be it epic victories, monumental defeats or simply surviving by the skin of your teeth!


See you on the battlefield!

The poll is a bit bugged by the way. Twice it failed to load the next question. After completing around 53%.

Big thumbs up. 


Do minor information like this more frequently and you will dispel the doom and gloom the forum is prone to :)

A dev said on the Pharoah discord that blood and gore is the next thing they are working on while they're currently "cooking" future content

That's nice and all. You kept repeating the same thing for a few weeks. "we will talk about the future update!" since december now. When can we expect actual updates and significant news?

So far the K'daai Destroyer lacks wallbreaker and anti large which was advertised in the blog post. The chaos siege giant wasnt introduced because in an interview an employee did say you would rather add a K'daai destroyer. With no anti large and no wallbreaker capabilites, what is it suppposed to destroy?

Warriors of Chaos still deal with recycled music which is shared through several factions when they had a perfect and thematic soundtrack and sharing it between factions just makes it less interesting.
Chaos dwarfs using undivided corruption literally gives them random monogod corruption in battle. It's gross fighting as the chaos dwarfs and getting pink skies in your own territories outside the dark lands. Again, in warhammer 2 the chaos corruption was perfect.
Chaos dwarf infernal guard and infernal ironsworn have uncolored textured in the trailer and in the game on their backs. Meanwhile on artstation the actual modeler did show how the actual model is supposed to look and without missing colors.

So while I appreciate you try to put more meat in a subpar content, when can we expect fixes for a racepack that launched a year ago

Just completed the survey. What day is it? Holy

Moly 

That was painful. 

It sure was but it also gives us some insight in what CA is thinking about doing next I think, some of those questions where rather pointed.


For me I've never clicked I really don't care for multiplayer so many times in a row before :)

FYI @CA_Freeman#8033 - I tried to do the survey, it asked me for my country, age & gender, then said "Thanks for completing the survey" - It didn't progress to any questions?

Wanted to say thank you for the High Tide update on Pharaoh. I'm also happy to see that you are continuing to work on that game, it's an enjoyable experience to say the least and I'm looking forward to get a full Total War: Bronze Age experience!


As for Shadow of Changes 2.0, I hope we won't be disappointed.

Completed the Survey.

2 things:
- It is not possible to complete on a Smartphone because of how the file is structured.

- There is no option for "Empire" era for our request for the next idea. (Does this mean it is in development? or you are not even considering it? ;)
