Radious Total War Mod - Warhammer 3 - Immortal Empires Beta released 12.09.2022, Ended - 18.09.2022
🕑 Added 2022-09-12 00:19:50 +0000 UTCHello Everyone, Team Radious here!
Today is a momentous day! After a long period of wait for you (and an even longer period of work for us), the moment in now ripe for the release of our initial beta build of the Immortal Empires Radious Warhammer III Overhaul, which we have been cooking in the background for the past 21 days! Many of you will finally be able to jump into Immortal Empires fully and enjoy it the way it was meant to be played – with enough marching armies and unit diversity to make even the skaven amongst us blush. One would even be inclined to say that it is going to be a total war on your computer screens😉.
However, it is important that you remember that it is a beta, and that you must treat is as such – bugs are expected. Please report any that you spot, as well as leave your feedback regarding the content already implemented. In the meantime, we will continue to work tirelessly on (re)implementing new and old features, as well as polishing the content that has already been introduced.
Lastly, for the first time in entire history of Radious mods we now have our own Main Menu theme music composed by super talented lHorizonl. The music comes packed together with a UI redesign, brand new main menu with various backgrounds which will change automatically, and a Chaos rising Clip. The Beta will contain the first version of this package and live release will have it in its full glory!
We hope that you enjoy this beta! Below you can find the full changelog, as well as a list of features implement and still as of yet missing.
Yours,
Team Radious
Our Discord server https://discord.gg/emQpcha is going to be the main method through which we are going to be communicating with you and collecting your feedback and reports - special beta channel was created there.
Please note that:
1. All 4 Parts must be used together.
2. During the beta please do not use any other mods, this build is made for testing and feedback. We need that your reports wont be affected by other mods changing the game and potentially corrupting the overhaul and its testing results.
3. Once the build is Live on steam workshop you can expect many additional official submods from us and our partners.
The installation instructions for the Beta are simple:
Step 1: Download Radious Immortal Empires Open Beta rar archive into your game’s data folder – usually the path is going to be something like steam\steamapps\common\Total War Warhammer III\data
Step 2: Unpack the archive into the data folder (if you are using winrar, then right click on the archive file and select the option “Unpack Here”,
Step 3: Delete the archive file and leave the four .pack files that should have appeared,
Step 4: Activate all 4 parts in the launchers Mod Manager and launch the game normally,
Step 5: If you are ever going to be updating to a new version of the Beta, then you must delete these four .pack files as well, and then repeat Steps 1 – 4,
Step 6: If you ever decide to leave the Beta, or the Beta is finished and the full version is now available on the Steam Workshop, then remember to remove the archive and all the .pack files associated with the Beta from your data folder, otherwise your game will most likely crash!
We hope that you are going to enjoy the Open Beta, and look forward to your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports.

- Do not use any AI, garrisons or vanilla gameplay changing elements mods - all these will conflict and may break many features and parts of our work.
- As always, if you are not sure if mod is compatible - ask first on our discord before messing up your own game.
