Best Mod in Years: Old World Custom Campaign BETA - Total War: Warhammer 3

[@anamericangrizzlybear8315]

As a fan of the War of Karak eight peaks, this campaign map does the settlement justice with how huge and important the Karak actually is and how Belegar, Skarsnik and Queek are fighting over are essentially fighting over eight entire mountains In maush pit for ownership for one of the greatest Dwarf holds ever built This mod is fantastic at actually display the geography of the old world in general, mountians feel huge, there's terrian that goes up and down that don't allow movement and that creates a lot of dynamic situations

[@marcusantoniuskase9770]

Are you talking about the battle map? Cause in the campaign map it looks less than vanilla.

[@Miller09095]

The distance between settlements is absolutely a good change of pace in Warhammer campaigns. I'm hoping it comes back in time for me and some buddies to play some co-op in the Empire or PVP in the Eight Peaks Arena.

[@kianqalashahar]

You can accomplish the same thing on the regular map with the mod that slows campaign movement by 50%. It transforms WH3 into a completely different game, much like this map does.

[@Costin_Gaming]

Keep in mind this was a beta that wasn't public. Lots of changes between now and release I imagine.

[@neverending774]

It appears chaosrobbie removed the beta for now, I hope this means release is near and he didn't take it down for another reason

[@droc_plug1691]

so not yet available

[@wyatt1828]

Is there a known release date?

[@marcusantoniuskase9770]

Do you know the release date?

[@alejandrosantana5693]

@@neverending774nope it’s still up.

[@30aragon]

I dream with the day we'll have an entire WH world map with this level of detail, care and love. Tks y'all modding community for such a great job!

[@FlyingFox86]

We'll have enough time to make a cup of tea during the end turn.

[@ravengaming2468]

i noticed the mod was deleted or hidden cuz i cant find it anymore

[@francescobianchi595]

same here, its offline since last night

[@Condeycon]

Oh man this looks sooo good! I wonder if the mod team has indicated any desire to include new landmarks and such! The map already has a ton of character to it, with some new landmarks it would really synch it.

[@Costin_Gaming]

They have a ton of landmarks in places.

[@redelephantsdotnl]

I'm using this now, combined with SFO. Playing as Wood Elves - it's *fantastic*. Athel Loren alone is about as much as Bretonnia in Vanilla. The Terrain on the campaign map actually matters, you need to be generally clever in your strategy or you're over extended and can't get back quickly enough. Add in SFO's better garrisons, going for a settlement is risky business now. Add in SFO's slower [overall] growth, you'll be running around with your initial few troops for twenty turns without even going home.

[@UFOSasquatch]

hey Costin or anyone else, anyone know why this mod isn't on steam anymore by chance? i don't see any posts or updates on the forums or anywhere.

[@yaroaram7237]

Gonna get this mod. In immortal empires you basically become unstoppable if you can get to ruling an empire. Doesnt even have to be a huge one in most cases. It is fun but if you want to play a long game having at least one other major empire around makes things much more interesting. It CAN happen in base immortal empires but its not likely. And if it happens its usually grand cathay man confederating every cathay faction in a game where they all did pretty well till the end. IF that happens they become a major power possibly stronger than the player empire. With that beeing said i believe that the normal map is designed with an endgame crisis in mind. You gain as much power as you can till it happens and then you deal with that. Its a diffrent kind of structure.

[@MrAdamArce]

It seems to be an improvement in scale in which minor factions might start with 1 territory while the major factions all get to start with large territories and can build strong economies and militaries faster than minor ones. Anyone else just miss having genetic rebel faction from medieval 2 that was your first stepping stone to a full empire? I actually enjoyed that. Even the way Shogun 2 implemented the rebels was good to me. I miss generic rebel #1989 he was always a special kill for me lol

[@wiIdcattm]

Both amazing and a tease at the same time. After seeing the Old World, the evitable itch for Cathay and beyond grows. From my understanding around the modding community, PC's can't handle something like that.

[@Doombot221]

Most excited to play this as Kugath and deal with stage stage belegar!

[@darkestdaysvideogame]

Settlements being too close really is a problem, that's why I use -50% campaign range mod to negate the issue. You could also make armies have smaller line of sight if you so prefere. It really boggles my mind how that wasn't the go to solution by even CA when they wanted to fit more stuff on conjoined immortal empires map. Settlement hopping is insane, you can just spawn inside someones Tier 5 settlement and raze it to the ground ruining thousands of gold and 40 turns worth of building without them even having time to react (blue skill line for lords make it even worse). Looking at this I'm thinking about going -75%. AI behaves better, game is a bit slower and you get the time to focus on your empire instead full wide expansion, all in all way more fun. Now I'm not your hardcore TW player, usually play normal-hard/very hard with some AI improvement mods so blitzing the map doesn't really do it for me.

[@Theredsunrising]

i wish the WH3 map had been this scale, sectioned like empire did with europe and the Americas.

[@shanks2872]

This and the new lost calm mod for lizardmen are insane.

[@gobelinougobo2341]

SFO is pretty good too :3 I canot play without anymore

[@janorzechowski924]

And now waiting to make entire world larger

[@tyfloren6492]

Curious if this will be compatible with Immortal Empires expanded? I really want to try this mod out, but I’m just concerned with compatibility especially with mods that add more factions/legendary lords 😅

[@tetrisint]

Definitely wouldn't be compatible with any map-alteration mods

[@TheBaralinChannel]

This works with major overhauls. I play it with Duke's Damned Nations and there's no problems!

[@decrepitfrogman8814]

Getting more from mods then paid DLC. Hell, CA would have taken 7 years to make this mod, released it but just called it a new game at 60$ with day one DLC and then even more DLC in a few weeks (it’s also somehow also extremely buggy)

[@aleagues1110]

Is every LL faction on this map somewhere?

[@bloodraven-rq1qn]

Great video as always

[@skullders2579]

Hey Costin do you known if this mod will have modded factions? Since Estalia/Tilea were expanded it would be a shame for them still use the empire roster.

[@Costin_Gaming]

I don't know but I suspect the intent of the mod is to focus on the map and allow other mods to work with it, so like a Southern Realms mod.

[@Christopher4700]

SFO worked with it as it was (I just tested it and could pass some turns and such), so I guess the compatibility is going to be easy

[@daniellison9182]

I recommend reds estalias

[@mindmonsterxx]

i cant find this mod or is it not available yet ?

[@Costin_Gaming]

It was, no longer. BETA ended.

[@SusaVile]

Since the Beta is now gone, I have seen rumors that the main modder is no longer interested on releasing. Do you know anything about this Costin?

[@Costin_Gaming]

Well he released an update that broke existing campaigns recently and didn't react too kindly to people sharing the old version files around so they could continue playing. That and other comments.

[@dukejorgas3693]

He did not appreciate feedback or suggestions from the open beta. I suggested adding the Teufel river along Ubersreik, making Karak Azgaraz a dwarf faction, and a few other minor things before the thread was removed.

[@DaveFrags]

That would be one way to shoot one’s self in the foot. Also would be a shame

[@neutralmob4739]

bless this mod

[@guilliman1990]

Id be excited for this mod if I could find the stupid thing. Maybe it's an Australian thing cos this mod is not in the store .

[@lostnumber08]

Delicious.

[@Harles.]

mod looks dope cant wait to play but i dont understand why the dwarfs get so much hate. i play them like 90% of my campaigns. i have mods where the ai are more aggressive, field more armies and are just stronger in general plus I also up all of the diffdiculty i can legendary/veryhard endgame more hard 5% increased stats... and im not just saying this. maybe i just play completely different than how everyone else plays them but they are actually really good. truthfully i dont think they need a rework at all maybe just a few more units

[@zuundasz1700]

imagine this with sfo , damn

[@Costin_Gaming]

It works with SFO.
