Creative Assembly hat die "Proving Grounds"-Beta für "Total War: Warhammer 2" gestartet. Das ist im Prinzip ein Test-Server, auf dem verschiedene Veränderungen, Anpassungen und Verbesserungen getestet werden, um zu schauen, ob sie funktionieren. Über Steam darf man daran teilnehmen. Auf der offiziellen Seite kann man nachlesen, was geplant ist.
How to get the Proving Grounds Beta
- Right-click on Total War: WARHAMMER II in your Steam library
- Click Properties and click the Betas tab
- In the drop-down menu, select the warhammerii_1.8.4 option
- Close the window and your build will automatically update to 1.8.4
Goals
- Experiment with different difficulty settings, including game pace modifications
- Adjust game pace to align with shorter end-turn times
- BUT retain a game pace that allows for frequent activity like recruitment, construction or combat every turn
- Increase impact in recruitment and construction decisions
- Reduce the economy scaling into the later stages of the game
- Add meaningful and stronger money sinks
- Keep campaign AI competitive
- Create an environment to possibly remove supply lines
- Reduce the strength of swift expansion
- Streamline factional differences in economy and more clearly define faction uniqueness
- Return public order to be generally more meaningful
- Return growth to be generally more meaningful
- Push late-game units later into the game naturally for both AI and player
- Aim for more varied playthroughs and different late-game challenges emerging naturally
- Avoid hard restrictions
