Radious Total War Mod - Warhammer 3 - Released 10.04.2022

Hello everyone, Team Radious here!

After over a month of dedicated and ceaseless labour from behind our computer screens, we are proud to finally be able to share with you the official release version of the Warhammer III Radious Overhaul! Packed to the brim with exciting new content and countless other changes to the game, it is now available for all of you to enjoy on the Steam Workshop! The path to this release has been long and meandering, with many important moments of reflection along the way. On that note, we want to thank once again everybody who got involved in our Public Beta, as your feedback has proven to be invaluable in our process of balancing and improving the game! It has been a special journey, and we are glad that you have been there with us!

However, as important a milestone as this release is, it is not the end of good things to come! Soon, you can expect our Team to release even more content, including new units for Ogres and the various Chaos factions, as well as a plethora of custom Lords, skills, abilities, and much, much more. Further details of our plans can be found in the various entries to our Warhammer III development blog, linked below. On top of that, we are planning to eventually port pretty much all our official Warhammer II submods, to give you an even greater range of options when it comes to customizing your game. Lastly, in a little bit more distant future when the big map is available, we shall once again implement a plethora of our Warhammer I and II content that could not have made its way into the game yet. This includes the various faction reworks, new mechanics, landmarks, and a whole host of other goodies; all culminating in the ultimate Radious Warhammer III experience!

Below you can find the changelogs, both for the beta versions as well as today’s update, which should give you a pretty good idea as to what is included, and what to expect once you jump into the campaign. If you have any questions of the technical nature, including potential (in)compatibilities with other mods, please feel free to get in touch with us on our social media or on our Discord Server. We also welcome all feedback and suggestions which you might have!

If you enjoy what we do, and want to support us in our endeavours, please consider donating to us on Patreon. Every little helps to keep us motivated and in better control of our personal lives, which can sometimes get in the way of modding despite our best efforts to stay on track.

We hope that you are all going to enjoy what we have prepared for you today! Good luck in chasing the God-Bear, and don’t forget to offer a quick prayer in thanks to the Horned Rat yes-yes!

Yours, Team Radious
