Humble Choice for November 2025 has Total War: WARHAMMER III

I really love TW: Warhammer (all 3 games), but I stopped playing it after switching to Steam Deck as the 3 is unsupported and runs really badly.

Maybe when I switch from Steam Deck to something else I will get back to it.

I also quit but I have over 1000 hours in WH2 and a little over half of that in WH3. They are really good games and run well with Proton, but CA really let the AI degrade and is now in a state of disrepair. WH2 has it's faults but it was at least challenging in the first 50 turns, but WH3 is a snooze fest. I really hope they get it to a better state before the last DLC or at least give the community better tools to maintain it.

They really should look at Paradox for inspiration on how to give options to make the campaigns more interesting.

With the state the game is in, a year between fairly unremarkable dlc and now this... Looks like they'll be winding it down soon. Skeleton crew vibes.

Really been enjoying the TW:WH quite a lot over the years, though I really wish they had some smaller-scale campaigns. The Immortal Empires mode can be great fun, but it's also a massive map with many hundreds of factions with large demands both on mental focus and accepting longer turn times. The smaller story-focused campaigns in both Warhammer 2 and 3 are nice enough, but they are also a lot more directly story-focused and even they are quite huge in scope.

I would really love the ability to just pick a smaller sub-region of the world to play a IE-style freeform campaign in. Since a smaller world means better performance, shorter turn times, and a more focused style of play, it'd be a really nice complement to the larger Immortal Empires - but I wouldn't keep my hopes up...

Still, the desire for a smaller, more compact campaign notwithstanding, it's a great game and has lots of really fun parts to it!
