Radious Total War Mod - Warhammer 3 - Updated 18.09.2022 - Immortal Empires Support!

Hello everyone, Team Radious here!

Dust off your old magical tomes and sharpen those rusty blades, for it is time to go to war again! After a week-long beta, we finally feel that our mod is complete and ready for a full release onto the Steam Workshop. We thank everybody who participated in the beta for us and reported all the bugs and other issues you could find, its thanks to you we were able to finish so quickly.

This is the biggest Radious Overhaul we have ever released. Spanning the content of three games and touching almost every aspect of Immortal Empires, we hope that it will bring you countless hours of joy! But this is not the end of the journey yet! We still have some new content planned, as well as continual support in case of new DLC and patches. It was an honour to share this ride we you, and we hope that we will be able to continue as one! To put it simply:

Enjoy!

Yours, Team Radious
