S.imply F.un O.verhaul: Grimhammer III is a total overhaul mod that changes every aspect of the TW: WH III to be closer to the lore and Warhammer universe. SFO mods are not meant to be better than vanilla game but meant to be a different experience! Vanilla is great and no mod will change that!

We are long fans of Warhammer and want to share this passion with all of you.

 CHANGELOG

 LINKS

GENERAL

- Can be enabled on ongoing vanilla campaigns. Save-compatible. Working without any problems with all mods that don't change units/abilities balance and stats.

- Most changes from SFO: Grimhammer II mods ported and readjusted for old content. Because it's very hard to port WH2 textures and models, most reskin that SFO 2 had currently use vanilla assets. In time we will be updating them to the proper unique look they previously had.

- Better Camera Mod by Kam added.

- GMD Spawn Reskin by dilaguna added.

- Adjustments were done to battle values like hit chance, collision damage, etc.
- Adjustments were done to simple campaign values like recruitment and upkeep. It's now closer to vanilla values so it will be easier to make submods in future. All Legendary Lords and Heroes upkeep was removed.

- Maximum resistance and melee hit chance values changed to be capped at 75 (from 90).

- Morale and melee defence penalty for Player and bonuses for AI removed from all difficulty levels. Settings selection screen shows exact difficulty bonuses. Each level's effects are much higher.

- Aura vfx removed from all characters.

- Health increased for all units; +30% for single entities and +60% for the rest.

- Regeneration capacity changed to 200% (from 75%) maximum health.

- Charge distance increased by +25%.

- Vigour loss reduced by around -25%, each stage is -5% to all unit stats.

- All chariots' rotation speed and acceleration increased by +25%.

- Fire arc for most units changed to 80 (from 60).

- Mass and knockback values readjusted for many units making large units way stronger.

- Values rounded and readjusted for many units making differences and calculations more clear.

- Morale changed to be based mostly on health and not actions removing endgame unbreakable units problem.

- Experience required to gain chevron is higher but also more steady.

- All attributes received small frame changes so it's now easier to spot their icons.

- Summons reworked; there are now 3 types of unbinding. First is based on time, after which the unit dies (3 minutes in most cases), second puts units on a shorter kill clock and it only ticks when winds of magic are below 50% (with a total of 60 seconds) and third is -25% malus to main stats when health is below 50%.

- All Legendary Lords and Heroes have golden frames around their unit cards.

- All characters resized to the natural sizes of their race.

- Small autoresolve buff added to Player against AI.

SIEGES

- Game has quite a big bug making it so that there are no level 1 towers in walled sieges. We fixed that by adding proper tower levels.

- All wall and gate health increased so it's harder to destroy them. Rams and special units are now the best ways to accomplish that.

- Siege towers and rams are constructed way faster before sieges and have more health.

- All missile units now deal way less damage to structures, artillery on the other hand now deals more damage.

Wall Towers:

- Power level of every faction tower is the same now. WH1 and WH2 factions towers were very weak in comparison to WH3.

- Firing arc increased to 150 (from 90).

- Range changed to 300/350/400/450 (from 350m).

Buildable Towers:

- Power level of every faction towers is the same now. WH1 and WH2 factions towers were very weak in comparison to WH3.

- No longer based on fort towers but on survival towers instead.

- Construction time changed to 125/150/175/200 seconds (from 90).

- Cost increased for all variants.

- Range changed to 225/250/275/300 (from 350m).

Barricades:

- Construction time doubled.

- All types now cost the same.

- Effects were rebalanced for all because of the cost changes.

ABILITIES

- In Warhammer III all abilities have 100% hit chance but each time they apply damage its value is stretched between 50% and 100% of maximum value. We decided to remove it. All damage abilities now deal 100% of its damage all the time. UI however still shows 50-100% values but you should look only at the bigger number.

- "Damage Per Second" on unit ability cards changed to "Total Damage Per Second", to indicate that damage shows value when all possible entities are affected.

- Added a lot of new bullet points to abilities showing number of projectiles, area sizes, affected number of entities, if affects caster, total health replenishment, ammo replenishment and exact kills required.

- Bullet points on all units cards updated with useful information like projectile splash values, hidden things like fast attacks etc. No more redundant info like “armoured” that you already can see right away.

- All damage based ability values were increased to fit new increased health values.

- With removal of the Strong Vigour attribute we decided to make a new ability that replenishes vigour when out of combat, it's been given to some units.

- Daemonic Instability, passive; damage lowered to be the same as it is for undead but also with debuffs on every stage.

- Torment Blade, active; duration changed to 30s from 14s, cooldown to 120s from 60s.

- All free summon abilities cost for custom battles increased by +50%.

- All survival battles upgrades were buffed and cost increased so less clicking with stronger effects.

 SPELLS

GRAND CATHAY

Cathay's roster is one of the best in the game. Besides tweaking there are no mechanical changes here. Gunpowder units generally shoot slower in SFO but we decide that Cathay should be different here. Less accuracy but faster shooting gunpowder guns will for sure help the faction. Cathay has it all.

SLAANESH

God of Pleasure is very problematic both in lore and tabletop. Highly mobile and glass cannon factions don't translate well to Total War.

NURGLE

Nurgle is all about very tanky units. But sadly not in vanilla so we decided to give all units regeneration outside of melee combat changing basic Cloud of Flies ability.

TRIVIA: Do you know that Winged Lancers and Gryphon Legion units are based on polish Husaria from the 17th century? It was the best heavy cavalry in history. It was also the first cavalry that was using cycle charging to an insane extent, winning whole wars for Poland. Husar was changing his horse and lance with almost every charge. Only noble could be husars so they had from 5-10 horses for every battle. Wings on back had only ceremonial form, horse charge was way louder than wing noise. Enemies were running not because of wings but Husaria fame. This formation lost only 1 battle in history and it was only because horses were stuck in mud after a drunk commander sended them to charge. Sweden mercenaries had clauses in their contracts that they don't fight Husaria no matter what. Sorry, I love the history of my country :D.
