Total War: Warhammer 3 Sieges Getting a Makeover – Time to Tell Creative Assembly What You *Really* Think!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Creative Assembly is reworking sieges in Total War: Warhammer 3 and is actively seeking player feedback through a beta test, which is a chance for players to actually influence the game's development (instead of just yelling at the developers online). Pocket ladders are getting yeeted, which honestly, based.
Right, listen up, strategy fans! Creative Assembly's decided that sieges in Total War: Warhammer 3 need a bit of a kick up the backside. And they're not just guessing what we want (thank the gaming gods!), they're actually *asking* us. Fair dinkum, I never thought I'd see the day.
According to a recent announcement (hat tip to Game Rant for spotting this one), the team's prepping a Siege Rework Beta, kicking off on July 24th and running until August 7th. That's two weeks of tearing down walls, building murder holes, and generally causing digital mayhem, all in the name of… balanced gameplay? Maybe. Fun, more like!
What's actually changing? Well, battle team lead Milcho Vasilev spilled a few beans: pocket ladders (you know, those cheeky ladders that appear out of nowhere) are getting the boot. Siege equipment's getting a rebalancing, defensive towers and gates are getting stat tweaks, and, most importantly, the AI is getting a much-needed brain boost. Plus, they're even going back to the maps themselves, fixing bits and bobs.
But it gets better, mate. Creative Assembly's putting together a "wish list" of potential siege improvements. We're talking constructible ladders (proper ones!), garrison reworks, even more AI improvements, and a complete rethink of how we build towers and barricades. It's like they've been reading my (slightly unhinged) forum posts.
Now, I'm not saying this will magically fix every siege-related gripe. But it's a bloody good start. The fact that they're actively soliciting feedback *before* rolling out changes is a massive win. So, if you're a Total War: Warhammer 3 player with strong opinions on castle defenses (and let's be honest, who isn't?), get yourself into that beta. Let 'em know what you reckon. The fate of sieges (and, potentially, the entire Old World) rests in your capable, tactical hands.
And hey, even if you're not normally one for betas, think of it as a chance to finally unleash that siege engine design you've been doodling on napkins for the past six months. You never know, you might just change the game. Literally.
