Creative Assembly Launches Festag Update for Total War: Warhammer 2
The Festag Update is the latest Total War: Warhammer 2 update, and it brings a whole suite of new changes and balance tweaks to the Warhammer strategy game. Like previous patches, the big focus of the Festag Update is on characters, and in particular, updating the Legendary Lords and Lords from the first game to match with those of the second title.
What’s New in the Latest Total War: Warhammer 2 Update
Creative Assembly recently published full patch notes for the latest Total War: Warhammer 2 update on the official Total War blog. Here, you can go through the fine print to see exactly what has been changed and where. However, the general focus in the Festag Update is on characters; both regular Lords and the Legendary Lords. The big change is a general rework for the red skill trees of characters from the first Total War: Warhammer; “Characters of the Old World now get red skill trees comparable to their New World counterparts in Warhammer II,” explains Creative Assembly; “plus numerous tweaks and changes to their existing skills, traits and abilities. Character mounts have also been standardised to unlock at specific ranks.”
In addition to the new character changes, the Festag Update includes a range of bug fixes. Most notably, fixes for several bugs which could cause game crashes when a Vampire Coast faction is destroyed while they own any Pirate Coves. The update also includes changes to the game’s Spectator Mode. One of the most notable changes, which affects most of the game’s factions, is the standardisation of mount unlock levels. Although there may be a few exceptions where balance is a factor, these ranks will now be standard for all Lords and Legendary Lords.
