Total War: Warhammer 3<\/a>‘s Siege Rework beta has officially begun digging its sapper’s tunnels beneath the walls of the base game. Creative Assembly is currently testing numerous major changes to how sieges function, opening the overhaul up for players to try themselves and provide feedback.<\/p>\n

“The Proving Grounds Siege Beta is now available to download on Steam!” wrote Creative Assembly in a Steam update<\/a>. “This is your chance to get hands-on with the changes, share your feedback with us and help shape the future of siege warfare.”<\/p>\n

Creative Assembly detailed these changes in a blog post on its website<\/a> earlier this week, chief among which is the removal of so-called “pocket ladders.” These allowed most infantry units to climb up any defensive walls without constructing special equipment. Creative Assembly wants to remove these to make sieges more realistic (which the studio acknowledges is a silly thing to say about a game that lets you field armies of plague demons) but also because if any old grunt can pull a 30-foot ladder from the aether, it defeats the point of settlements having walls in the first place.<\/p>\n
