Creative Assembly studio returned to the global strategy game Total War: Warhammer III in July and introduced a major 8.1 update. It aims to fix some technical issues and improve campaign AI, as well as add new “landmarks” to the game.
The developers explained that some AI tasks in the campaign led to enemy armies accumulating and standing idle, for example, due to excessive focus on defending key regions. To fix this, a new mechanism was added to the game, allowing precise control over campaign AI priorities depending on the number of turns since the start of the campaign.
