Radious Total War Mod - Warhammer 3 - Mod Development Progress
🕑 Added 2022-02-17 21:06:23 +0000 UTCHello Everyone, Team Radious here!
We hope that you are all having fun chasing after the god-bear following Warhammer III’s official release earlier today! Whether it is the gods of Chaos that you have chosen to dedicate your first campaign to, or any of the mortal factions, there is surely much to experience and enjoy in this newest entry to the Total War series!
With the game going public, we have now been able to begin working on our newest, 9th, Radious Overhaul! Our labours so far were basic; just an initial overview of the files and a careful testing of some of the aspects of the game. From these early explorations it became clear to us that the amount of work that needs doing is staggering, and that even transporting our Warhammer I and II content will be a tedious and drawn out process as a result of the countless changes CA made to entries Warhammer III shares with the earlier games in the series. Everything will have to be looked over with a fine-tooth comb to make sure that it is going to continue working properly and gets seamlessly integrated with the new content.
Just as a heads up, our progress in the early days will likely remain quite slow, hampered by external factors on which we have no influence (not least being the lack of the official modding tools for the first month, but we are nevertheless hoping for a steady march forward and remain optimistic and excited about the future. We will keep you updated as the situation develops and make sure that all of you are informed about the state of the mod while we continue to work in the background.
From now on, we shall be using this post as the basis for these rolling updates. They will be posted and timestamped below. If you are interested in keeping up with our development of the Overhaul, tune-in and feel free to provide us with your feedback or suggestions. Many great things are ahead of us, and we hope that you are all going to stay along for the journey!

Development Blog 1 - 19.02.2022: Good morning Everyone! WH3 is with us for 2 days now and we have been doing basic game overview, checking the files and current tools what they can do already with the game. We know now that official mod support, mod manager and tools wont be here sooner then in 3-4 weeks. But we are able to already start our work and so we did! After +- 10 hours during last 2 nights first few basic things were already updated, some stuff ported and many things tested. Due to massive amount of original files renamed and reworked in WH3 simple copy pasting of our WH2 work is not possible and everything must be pretty much recreated from start again. Our pre-alpha build is growing every day, the biggest challenge is now to find the best way how to approach this massive beast and from where to start properly. Front of us stands really extreme amount of work! Around 1% of everything is done!
Development Blog 2 - 20.02.2022: Good evening! Weekend is over and time for another new report. More files were updated and ported, several smaller tables + 2 huge ones were finalised during weekend, just those 2 took around 15 hours to update. Imagine over 21000 lines to check, edit, tweak, port and remove - one by one. Yes thats how big files got in WH3 with combined 3 games and dozens of dlcs (and still far from over). There is around 50 more tables like that to update and rework, plus around few thousand other things to do. :-) Its a slow process, but we are on it and progress is so far better then expected. Around 3% of everything is done!
Development Blog 3 - 22.02.2022: Good afternoon! We have behind us another 2 long nights (during week i cant really mod anything due to my job and family duties) and more news to share with you. Our internal build is growing every day, effects of all traits, items, skills, followers were all updated with our changes from WH1+2 and did many changes to WH3 new content already. Also many AI tables were already updated aswell, recruitment system was overhauled once again to ensure AI builds mixed armies very well. Many other smaller changes and fixes are done aswell, fixed around dozen WH3 bugs related to recruitment aswell. Around 5% of everything is done!
Development Blog 4 - 24.02.2022: Time for another update. Weekend is almost here and I should be able to work more and finish some parts which really require dozens of hours. Good news is that community tools should be updated most probably this week which will allow to finally work on all parts we need (aka several thousand hours of work will open to us :-) ). Mod has now updated all values related to armours, shields, morale, fatigue systems, individual unit stats will be tweaked once that part is open. Many UI tables are also now fully updated. Mod will once again contain excelent building and unit cards from Spartan and Rikko and many further UI changes. Around 8% of everything is done!
Development Blog 5 - 26.02.2022: Good morning! Weekend is here and more news to share. Last 2 days i spend in 3 tables related to buildings and garrisons. Each of those tables has over 20k lines and updating them was extremely slow process and still not yet finished. Several thousand lines and chains had to be removed and renamed and many more added. These tables are part of the 15 biggest ones, but also very important gameplay wise. Mod is also being reworked in terms of how we will build it from the ground so we have slightly easier times with future updates. Around 10% of everything is done!
Development Blog 6 - 27.02.2022: Weekend is over and working week ahead once again. Updating will slow down a bit, tomorrow once again 11 hours shift at work and plenty other duties to take care. Good news are that community modding tools are now fully updated so at this moment we can work on everything related to wh1+2+3. Now only to do it all.... :-) Many parts related to Ai and buildings were properly updated, same as skills, skill points and many other things. Work goes slower then expected due to CA renaming every second file and entry which completely messes up our old work transfer and we must carefully update all which goes much slower. Around 13% of everything is done!
Development Blog 7 - 01.03.2022: Good evening! Time for another report. Additional +-20 db tables are now fully updated for WH3, many changes related to spells, magic were done. All melee and projectile weapons are now also fully updated. Many other tables are now under complete rework like garrisons and recruitment which requires multiple days of work for each of those. Our internal test build is growing every day and sofar all changes work as intended. Around 16% of all is done!
Development Blog 8 - 02.03.2022: Good evening! More news for you. Today we have managed to update big file of the mod where are all unit costs, upkeep values, limits and unit sizes located. We have updated all, almost 2000 entries including all WH1+2 content and also all new WH3 content. All characters and units received first balance touch related to costs and upkeep values, also many got increased in their sizes to be better fit our overall balancing. We are another big step closer to playable build! Around 20% of all is done!
Development Blog 9 - 04.03.2022: Good evening! More files has been updated. Finished first wave of entire unit balancing and transfered all our stats changes to all WH1+2 content. All WH3 units received first rebalance pass, many units received unit number changes, some recruitment tweaks and more. All weapons, armours, shields and attributes were rebalanced aswell. AI recruitment was also fully overhauled as in previous titles. Around 25% of all is done!
Development Blog 10 - 06.03.2022: Good evening! Weekend is almost over but we managed to do huge progress during last 2 days. We have already all 3 main parts of the overhaul and all are working, they do not have yet all the content updated and transferred, but every day they are growing more and more. We are trying to work with stable builds meaning that almost every change and addition is being tested before we move on to avoid any evil crash problems. Also all faction effects, mechanics and traits for new wh3 content received first balance pass. and small taste, on our discord you can check pictures of old faction rosters updated with our content and up and running in WH3 itself. Around 32% of all is done!
Development Blog 11 - 08.03.2022: More news to report. Another 2 days of hard work is behind us! We have fixed many bugs, updated many more tables. All sets which connects units to any kind of campaign buffs are now fully updated, we have included our fixes for many vanilla WH1 and 2 vanilla units since CA didnt bother to fix them not even in WH3, all our custom units are also updated in this term. Our custom Kislev units also received first complete rework touch to be fully adapted to new Kislev faction in WH3. Around 36% of all is done!
Development Blog 12 - 10.03.2022: Good day everyone! Time for more news. We have started updating and porting our custom lords and skills for WH1+2 content. First faction rework will receive Kislev and we are also on it already. There are many additional bugs fixed, tons of balance changes also based on your feedback. Most of the huge db tables are now fully updated, larges one should be finished during weekend. If all will go well we may have beta test build ready for you next week. Around 40% of all is done!

Last 3 days we have been working on fixing our custom units and updating all building effects, from 21000 lines only 1000 WH1 are left to do and then rebalance all new WH3 ones (around 6000). These should be finished within 2-3 days. We are also making plenty balance changes to WH3 content, some tech trees will need big rework, replenishment skills and several other buffs were improved, many other skills were updated, fake dumps and more skill points per level are now also fully included, same as home region movement bonus.
