Large or Ultra unit size?

[Green Raven]

Is there an official CA source for which to use?

[Amereth]

depend mostly on you and your pc.

If you have a high end pc you can go ultra size, but keep in mind it is going to change the balance of the game.

If i remember correctly ( correct me if im wrong ) if you play on ultra BIG single entity will have a hard time since there are more unit hitting them and spells will indirectly be stronger.

warhammer 3 is balanced around ultra

[Amereth]

wh2 was balanced around Large unit.


Wh3 seem different in the scaling but i need to test ultra size more before being 100% on that.

I mostly play Large since it is what i was using in wh2.


For the fun factor you should probably use Ultra if you have a good pc.

larga unit size

[moradim]

the game is balanced to be played in large units. If you go higher the damage spells and the shooting units will be less effective because more damage distribution on the models.
Then it also depends a lot on your PC config if it can support it or not.

Pretty sure ultra this time round but officially I think they basically said 'all are more balanced'.
Run ultra if you can or large if you want the performance headroom.

no wh3 is balanced around ultra not large. WH2 was large, WH3 isn't anymore. Though obviously you can still play both.

Can't find the source for it, but its been stated by the Devs that Total War: Warhammer 3 is balanced around Ultra unit sizes.

While Total War: Warhammer 2 was balanced around Large unit sizes.

As an added bonus to the scaling of single-entities, the game is now finally balanced according to unit size; the health of individual soldiers will now scale based on the unit size setting, making the game less punishing for players on low-end machines.

Individual model health for multi-model units(like Empire Swordsmen) is the same across all scaling. Only the model count(number in units) change(and so the unit's total health), not their offensive or defensive stats.

For single entities it is different. On Ultra a lord will have more health and deal more damage(weapon strength) compared to large, medium or small(each having their own values). Same with single monsters etc..
Damage spells and abilities also scale depending on your chosen scaling.
