All of my mods have been updated for Total War: Warhammer III patch 8.1. The changes listed below have been incorporated into Herald’s Start Positions – Mod Compilation, in addition to their respective standalone mods.
No changes were required for my other mods, as they remain fully compatible with the new patch. They have still been updated to reflect patch 8.1 compatibility, ensuring users of the standard mod manager no longer receive warnings about mods that haven’t been updated since the previous major patch.
HSP – Kislev & Norsca:
– reintroduced the location change of Throgg’s Cave of the Rocky Throne landmark, which was previously removed following CA’s changes in update 7.0. The landmark is now available in The Tower of Khrakk instead of Khazid Bordkarag, currently named Lair of the Troll King in the vanilla game;
– replaced the level 1 Troll Lair building in The Tower of Khrakk with a regular tier 1 Norscan barracks, to slightly curb Throgg’s early expansion. Both the player and the AI can still construct the Troll Lair in a free construction slot and have Troll recruitment available as early as turn 2;
– added a small compatibility change for Dead’s Akshina Hero. The Akshina hero spawned for Katarin on her turn 1 is moved closer to her modified start position.
HSP – Sayl in the Mountains of Mourn:
– removed the workaround that had Kholek start the campaign with The Narj as a vassal, as CA corrected the Norscan homeland layout in update 8.1;
– removed the alternate start position for Lothar, the faction leader of Khazag, in case Immortal Empires Expanded is being used, as IEE updated the Withering Grounds province to mirror the vanilla Mountain’s End province more faithfully.
