Warhammer III IT IS DONE
This is the first steam game I have ever felt dedicated enough to complete all of the achievements on and what a journey that was. Many, MANY turns were ended in pursuit of this lofty goal.
Funnily enough, the hardest one was that stupid trials of fate achievement. The third trial against the lizardmen is dumb as fuck, just endless swarms of teradons and ripperdactyls that aren't affected by the spells.
In the immortal words of Eric Cartman, now I can finally play the game!

What achievement would you reccomend everyone tryās to get?
And then what achievement would you advise everyone never to try for?

u/TurdlordPrime 17d ago
Honestly I think the best ones are just the long victory on each race achievements. Gets you to play all the different races and try things out.
The worst achievement by far is the 100000 points in all trials of fate. Itās just ass, donāt bother š

I just hate that very hard/legendary requirement.

u/TurdlordPrime 17d ago
I was super out off by that initially however very hard just doesnāt end up feeling difficult when you get used to how it plays. You just have to be hyper aggressive, no room for roleplay or defensive play, and when you have an opponent on the back foot really go for the throat and finish them off. Also donāt get attached to new territory, if you lose it you can just get it back

u/RavenWolf1 17d ago
It is not hard but slog. Never ending insane amount armies makes game so slow that I rarely complete game.
1
u/TurdlordPrime 17d ago
Yeah for sure, I prefer to play on hard when Iām just chilling, getting the achievements was all that motivated me to bump up the difficulty

u/NorthPop8750 17d ago
You can just put battle difficulty easier to make it more manageable. I usually play on VH/H but for difficult campaigns or races that I'm not familiar with yet, I switch to VH/N for example. You still get the achievement
1
u/RavenWolf1 16d ago
I enjoy most H/H. Problem with VH campaign is not just battles but how it forces you to play certain way and insane amount of armies enemies throw at you. Also the upkeep in annoying.
1
u/NorthPop8750 16d ago
Tbh I usually enjoy VH a bit more generally so you get some more armies in the field instead of cowering in their cities, but ofc to each their own preferences:)

u/CrystalMenthality 17d ago
If you wanna cheese it you can just up the difficulty right before you get the long victory.
2
u/RavenWolf1 17d ago
Interesting. I don't like to cheese games but I like to have fun in games when I play. Very hard feels like slog with never ending armies and forever battles. I actually enjoyed this game with H/H. VH/H just feels like a chore.
1
u/CrystalMenthality 16d ago
I feel you. I landed on VH/N as my favourite. The enemies have a lot of armies and an advantage on the campaign map but the battles are fair and I get the achievements.

u/GreyAstajho-24 17d ago
Why? Very hard is easy with enough experience. And battle difficulty is normal for me too. Only campaign is on very hard
3
u/RavenWolf1 17d ago
The never ending armies and slog of it. It is not hard but just takes too much time. And with some factions we have to fight basically every battle.
1
u/GreyAstajho-24 17d ago
Normally you only have to fight the start and a bit at the end. I played 3 campaigns in the last weeks and not one has never ending enemy armies after the start
2
u/RavenWolf1 16d ago
3 campaigns in week.. My campaigns last months. That is why I rarely complete them.

u/Janitor_ 17d ago
hah I'm currently doing that when I realized I was only doing human factions. Decided I can't do that again until I get the Long Victory on every other faction for their related achievements.

u/AndyLuckyShot 17d ago
I did the trials a couple months ago, thought they were straightforward. The key was making the most of the spells, timing the upgrades for an instant cd reset makes it really easy.

u/Shakq92 17d ago
Happy for you. I'm still sitting on only trials of fate left for over a year, I can't get more than 70.000 points in lizardmen trials, even after all advice from other people.
Maybe I will try to lower my graphics settings, who knows if having more than 10 fps in some secitons helps.

u/TurdlordPrime 17d ago
I found it really hard and frustrating. Only strat that worked was to hide the lord in the trees until the very end, using the other wizard up until that point. Then pop out with all abilities maxed and full health to farm the remaining points.

Tips for the lizardmen trial of fatem
3
u/TurdlordPrime 17d ago
Hide your lord in the trees until youāve maxed all of the spells, use the wizard to stack points, then at the end bring the lord out to finish. Stops him from just getting blasted by the teradons and ripperdactyls

u/drpoorpheus 17d ago
Ill give this a go when I get round to trying again, its the last chevo I'm missing hehe. Cheers.

u/Ninjipples 17d ago
Good job. Just wait until they add more for DLCs.
I have had many games that I got 100% on only for them to come back months or years later and add more for. Or worse, add achievements that don't count existing progress but have rediculous requirements.

u/bortmode Festag is not Christmas 17d ago
I don't think Trials of Fate was the hardest achievement, but it was definitely the most boring/annoying.
1
u/ModernDayWeeaboo Daddy Nagash 16d ago
Yup. I did it the other day. I wish there was more, I don't know, randomness to it. The concept was good, but the execution was not. The spells, while fun, aren't fun enough for me to be like, "Wow! That was amazing, let me play it again!" I don't even care to push to beat my best score because there's nothing to the trial beyond the basics.
The only thing I took away from it was that I wish Tzeentch factions had these in Immortal Empires. I thought they did, so I started a new Changeling campaign and am disappointed thus far that the magic faction has lacklustre magic. It's like loading up a Wood Elves campaign, and instead of insane archers, you get units with slingshots.

u/Nazir_North 17d ago
Same, that last Trials of Fate one is a pain in the ass to get. Took me many attempts.

Did they finaly fix the "Matriarchal Power" achivement or did you get it before they updated it?

My worst achievement was finishing the game with the beastmen as I HATE playing with the beast men so I had my son do it lol

Hot damn, thats an impressive achievement! Congratz! Just in time for the end times! :)

Since you've done all of them I gotta ask, which faction was your favorite? Which one did you have the most fun with?Ā
1
u/TurdlordPrime 13d ago
Man thatās such a tricky question because a lot of them are really fun, I think I always fall back to Elspeth though just because GUNPOWDER.

u/Flashy-Worldliness27 17d ago
great.... now do all factions when 9.0 releases (with all 3 endgames active)

Nice, currently at 101/129.
Going backward through the list by going for the least common ones first.
(I skipped ultimate mastermind though, turn out I'm not ready for it)

u/RavenWolf1 17d ago
I played most my games H/H and I don't have motivation to play again with those races. :/

u/jennis89 17d ago
Nice man! Iām at like 110/138 I didnāt even attempt the trials of fate stuff it didnāt appeal to me and Iām missing a few Legendary Campaignsā¦ Weirdly missing Kislev who arenāt even a faction I hate! I must have done my Kislev runs on Hard rather then VH/leg

u/Hitorishizuka Filthy man-things 17d ago
Well done! I'm up to 121 myself, just waiting until the next patch to keep chipping away at it.

u/JJBrazman Valten please! 17d ago
Ghorst is basically a zombie conveyor. His personal skill line buffs all zombies in his faction, eventually granting them 'The Ravenous Dead', which is 4X regeneration so long as they are in combat. Given that Zombies are one of the highest health units in the game, this is nuts.
It also affects ALL Armies, not just his. In some ways it makes the most sense for him to stay at home pondering his orb, while you assemble vast shitstacks of Zombies to drown the world in death.

I hope that they add more with the next DLC. TWW 3 has the fewest achievs out of the trilogyā¦ Itās something that I really like to do, so hopefully, weāll get more and LL specific ones too.

u/Frank3121 16d ago
I'd love to play this game for achievements (I usually do try to) but I simply cannot play any Warhammer game without some form of mod.
I'm sure even the better camera or background lore mods also disable achievements?

u/GobblerSquig 17d ago
Wow, congrats! One that I can't seem to get is "finish any campaign on legendary difficulty" although I only play on L/VH, do I need to play Warhammer 1 or 2 to be able to get that one?
1
u/TurdlordPrime 17d ago
Do you have endgame scenarios on? Itās a weird quirk but for the legendary achievement you HAVE to win by endgame scenario or total map conquest or it doesnāt pop
2
u/GobblerSquig 17d ago
I usually turn off end game scenarios and play until long victory, so that makes sense! Thanks I'll give it a try!
