About the Game
Total War: WARHAMMER III is Creative Assembly's cataclysmic conclusion to the WARHAMMER trilogy — the campaign-of-campaigns "Immortal Empires" mode pulls together every faction from all three games into one massive 86-faction sandbox covering the entire Warhammer Fantasy old world. Kislev and Grand Cathay are the new playable factions, the four Chaos gods (Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Slaanesh) each get distinct mechanical identities and roster theming, and the Realm of Chaos campaign offers a wildly different metagame from the standard "build empire on a map" mode.
The unit roster is the largest in any Total War game by a wide margin — every faction has 30–60 unique units, each with bespoke animations, voice acting, and battlefield roles. Modders have built thousands of custom legendary lords, total conversions, and unit packs through Steam Workshop, and the game ships with extensive mod-friendly tooling.
This release is build 22413659, packaged as ElAmigos with the DenuvOwO Denuvo bypass. 75 GB installed. Fully offline-playable. Multiplayer (head-to-head campaigns, custom battles) requires CA's online services, which the cracked build does not reach. Workshop mods can be installed manually from local files.

AI
[p align="start"]AI factions will now consider positioning their forces close to a nearby settlement besieged by an ally, ready to reinforce an assault. They will be more inclined to do this when there is a war coordination request from the ally for the besieged settlement, and even more so if the ally is human and/or their vassal master. If all these conditions are met, the AI will consider reinforcing even assaults it would otherwise deem too risky. Nevertheless, the behaviour is not 100% guaranteed. The AI may still choose to help in a different way, like engaging other enemy forces nearby or just raiding the region.
Units
